A great spot to have a drink with an appetizer at the bar or special occasion with a group to share the great meal.
One of the few spots in the city that serves pasture raised meats.

Came to treat my husband for his belated birthday.
Vibe was 10/10 but the food was disappointing, for the price you pay for a steak, you'd expect it to be cooked to the right temp and to be tender. I never give ratings but I hate that my first one has to be from a disappointment.
We love experiencing all hamilton has to offer in terms of food and all, found this place on insatgram and we loved everything we saw, the fire grilled steak and all.
1. Vibe was great, the live music was amazing, esthetics wise 10/10
2. Appetizers, the oysters were meh, small, the dressing was not good at all
3. The steak, what we came here for, ordered medium rare rib in striploin(recommended)... showed up and it was blue and tough!! Asked the server to return and have the chef cook it to medium rare, second time still rare, returned 3rd time, came out medium and tough. This was a huge disappointment, I have been to soooo... many steak places and this was by far a huge disappointment, the fries that come with it was bomb tho, super crispy and delicious. For the price they charge for these steaks.. not impressed.
I hate to say this but that was a huuuuge disappointment and we will not be returning.
I made reservation for Friday night and mentioned that my wife had a hearing issue the last time we visited so we would like a quite table. She called back a few minutes later saying that they had live music on Fridays , suggesting we try Saturday, which we did. After being seated, we could not talk despite being about two feet apart because the piped music was so loud. We decided to leave. On the way out I tried to explain to who I thought was the matre d. I thought he said “just get out” but then the music was very loud? We have been there before and expected to spend $200+ . Never again!

Came here for a 7:30pm reservation on a Saturday and were seated right away. We didn’t know it was their 2 year birthday but were pleasantly surprised that there was a live DJ.
We ordered 4 oysters at $4 each and the côte de beouf at $150. The oysters were on the smaller side but tasted great and were refreshing.
After that, we sat for what felt like a very long time. At one point the server came by after 40 min and told us our steak was arriving soon, and it took another 15 min to arrive. The steak tasted great but maybe not the most memorable at the $150 price tag. The fries were crispy and perfect.
The service at the end raised the 4* to a 5 for us as the server brought us the feature dessert ($10) on the house to make up for the long wait time despite us not making any complaints.
Would definitely return to try some other dishes!

From out of town and went with friends. First off let me say I am celiac and I had a teen with me as well. The burger and fries he had was great and filling, and the menu mostly could be altered to be safe for me. I opted for the burger as well, but the way the server sold it was ( and I can’t say it as eloquently as they did ) immediately made me want it and it was amazing! It even came with a little potato that was so tasty.
Plenty of options!

Very expensive for what you get. Their steak is quite tough unfortunately. By far best thing we all had was the Le Tambour salad. For the price, you would expect better cuts of meat, but three of us eating the steak had significant sections of fat we kept having to spit out. Was really excited for this place but unfortunately their limited menu (one seafood dish), high prices and average steak, mean I wouldn't try it again. If I'm paying $120 for a two person steak, I would at least hope for quality at minimum of places like the keg.
Very nice restaurant and friendly staff but food did not even come close to living up the price.

Me and My brother were in the city from Niagara Falls, saw this place and figured to take a quick shot at it, we had the oysters, cheese plate, smoked salmon Benny and the shrimp plate - genuinely amazing service, very attentive - my brother lost one of his shrimps on the floor, and without even asking or anything, our amazing server Britt brought us another and insisted on it. Our Bartender Kate was also very attentive and made amazing drinks - will absolutely come here again, and do yourself a favor, even if it seems on the higher price point, it is well worth it.

My brother and I decided to come here for a day out in Hamilton.. and let me tell you the food is top notch!.. and the service!? AMAZING. Our server Britt was great! She went above and beyond. I accidentally dropped one of my shrimp on the floor (lol) and she insisted on getting me another, when I didnt even ask. She was very informative and knowledgeable in regards to their food and pairings! We also had Kate which made our drinks. I ordered 2 Ceasers, and they were some of THE BEST ceasers I've ever had! HIGHLY recommend this place!
