Incredible dining experience at Berkeley North! 7 of us were on a girl’s college reunion trip from the U.S. Our server was Matthew and he took incredible care of us and even brought us complimentary drinks to end the night! We shared several plates and all of the food was so fresh and delicious! Some favorites were the duck gnocchi and wontons. The cocktails were great and they had a good selection of mocktails too. We spent several hours talking and laughing the night away without ever feeling rushed. In fact, we felt invited to stay and enjoy to our hearts content. 10 out of 10 would recommend for a special occasion, date night, or girls night. Reservations are important.Vegetarian options: Large vegan selection!Dietary restrictions: Large GF and vegan selection with options to get most menu items made with gf substitutes

Overall, it was a great experience. I was only disappointed by the duck dumplings. The dough was hard and raw, especially where it folded. Other than that, everything was great. The sour dough bread and cheese was delicious. The gnocchi were good too even though they are not what you execpte when you read truffle gnocchi.
Incredible food, including a vegan option. Lovely quaint atmosphere tucked into the very special and unique downtown Hamilton. Big city with small town energy.

We went maybe 1-2 months ago - the set menu for two turned out to actually just be a selection of appetizer, entree and dessert straight from the menu (no adjustment to price or portion). If I had known I wouldn’t swapped the entree. They did not even bother to bring the food out onto two separate plates - we had to eat off the same plate. It was unusual and unpleasant. The food was also quite underwhelming - salad was tasty, cheesecake was dry and bitter, and I think the entree was just okay. Cocktail was tasty. Atmosphere was good. Won’t be returning.

Way overpriced. Main course prices for shareable and appetizers? Get real. Nicely decorated at least but I'm not here to pay for the decor. Don't even get me started with the cocktails...

We had the tasting menu and it was AMAZING! I can’t wait to try the next one! The service and atmosphere were also great!
Disappointed. It was not the food experience we had last year! Limited options, warm ish food, hidden flavour soaked in butter, limited deserts and no cappuccino/ espresso or specialty coffees.

Just had the most divine dinner at Berkeley North. The service was incredibly friendly and prompt. Andrea was such a lovely server and even ensured that we were able to leave on time to make a show after! Thanks for the wonderful service!The food was INCREDIBLE. Truly, one of the most refreshing and palette-delighting meals I’ve ever had. We tried the Sample menu and had a taste of everything - no regrets!I absolutely cannot wait to return and try more of their fabulous menu! Don’t miss out - Berkeley North is a GEM.

The food was very good although i feel the portion size was a little small considering the cost. We did not get one of the entrees we ordered since an hour passed and we had a show to get to. It was disappointing. We split the entree that was brought out to us and ate at a different restaurant after the show. Our server was good, very friendly and attentive. Very nice atmosphere. I feel the kitchen and front of house staff need to work together. Considering we were the first to be seated for dinner that night, we were not the first to be served and we didn't get one of the entrees we ordered.

Great restaurant, smaller so it books up fast. The menu is on the smaller side but the dishes are flavourful and well put together. The duck gnocchi had lots of flavour. The only feedback is that the wine by the glass only came in 5oz, and not the typical offers of 6oz or 9oz so it did not feel like we had great freedom or value on that. No espresso so you can only do french press (this did not appease the Italian ahaha). The almond cake dessert was not overly sweet which is refreshing, you can taste all the components. I'd put this on my "I'd come back" list
