Everything was amazing - brought to our table even though we were early, lovely service from all staff, food was exquisite. Well worth it, anyone would enjoy their dinner here.
This is a true five-star experience—easily the finest restaurant in Hamilton. The food is exceptional, the service remarkable, and the atmosphere unforgettable. I've dined in cities across North America and Europe, yet Victoria stands in a class entirely its own. The hospitality is unlike anything I've encountered: warm, attentive, and genuinely joyful. The new owner, Lois, is extraordinary—gracious, generous, and utterly devoted to creating a world-class dining experience. Her presence shapes every detail of the restaurant and lifts it to another level. Do yourself a favour and make a reservation at Victoria. My wife and I keep returning because it is, quite simply, one of the great dining experiences in North America. You will leave already planning your next visit.
Staff is the best In the city. Food is always creative and tasty. One of our happy places!
Good experience. Steaks are great. Wine great. Service was good. Burger was ok- overcooked and lacked flavor for price ($42). Everything was good, but not amazing for the price point.
Fabulous experience! Highly recommended! Been open 5 years and I'm embarrassed to say this was my first visit. What a mistake! This restaurant is an absolute gem! Some of the best dining I've ever had in Hamilton! Thank you for an amazing date night!
I rarely write reviews, but this experience deserves it. I travel frequently for work and leisure and have visited countless restaurants and I was genuinely stunned to find such an exceptional dining experience in this small town. The food quality was outstanding, but the true highlight was the remarkable service even as the tables began to fill up. Every staff member anticipated our needs, worked seamlessly as a team, and treated us with genuine warmth and professionalism. It was clear they enjoyed their work and cared deeply about the guest experience, creating a level of service that felt bespoke. From start to finish, it was exceptional. Compliments to the chef and management—what a rare gem!
Last night, my partner and I visited Victoria's for the first time. From the moment I walked in, the staff was attentive and thoughtful. We came early for our reso and had a drink at the bar while we waited for our table. The bartenders made me a delicious drink based on my preferences. Shout out to Brendan who was so knowledgeable and a great host. I can't remember the other bartender, but he was also amazing. When it came time for dinner, our server, Nicole, was incredible and helped guide us through the menu. My partner and I shared a Caesar salad, Ribeye with truffle butter, the Beet and Swiss Chard side, and the Potato Aligot. I think we both audibly “mmmmm”'d every bite of steak. Perfection. Nicole was such a great server and personality. We will definitely be returning. The food was divine and the service was top tier. Lois, Taylor and the rest of the team sure know how to take care of guests.
Went to Victoria's Restaurant to celebrate a birthday. They have wonderful and mindful staff who made us feel comfortable and taken care of. Delicious menu and masterful steaks to choose from. Will definitely go again!!
Victoria's is hands down the best full service restaurant in Hamilton right now — there's really no competition. The food is excellent, beverage program is solid and the front of house team punches way above their weight. Easily the best service I've experienced in Hamilton. Well done👏
Another great meal. Cocktails are some of the best in Hamilton. Also a great selection of hard to find and unique wines.

I had the filet mignon, and my husband had the rib eye. We both thought it was the best steak we have ever had. Service was amazing. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone! Price was $$$$ but you get what you pay for.
Incredible experience for our 30th wedding anniversary! Food was delicious. Presentation was top notch. Service was spectacular. One of the best steakhouses I have ever dined at.
The food was exceptional. Taylor our waitress was super informative and gave us a few of the favourites to think about. Starters to entrees to dessert everything was top shelf. Not a bad bite at all. The chef had an amazing menu, hats off to the chef and his crew Thank you so much for a great evening
Amazing experience! We have been wanting to visit this Restuarant for a while and so glad we did. The service and friendliness was impecable. Taylor was our server and amazing! Leah took over at the end since we were last ones there and was just as wonderful. The food was FANTASTIC! Highly recommend the Scallop and Foie toast appy - it was incredible! Steak was everything and more, tender, juicy and tasty, it was a special that evening — Alberta Beef with Wagu A5 with maple sea salt...Scrumptious! A new hot spot for us for sure for fine dining!
An excellent place to dine out. Service from Nicole was great!!! The food was outstanding. Everything was cooked to exactly how we wanted it. Ok the wine list might be a little larger, but the cab/merlot was excellent and the sauv. blanc was delicious too.
