A date night to remember <3 As we stepped foot into this Hamilton gem, we were immediately transported back to a classy evening out in 1994. From the velvet curtains, and mirrored walls to the stained-glass signage, every detail has been appreciated and cared for over the years, as are its patrons. Service was thoughtful and well-paced. Food was hot and delicious! Not to mention, the prices fair! Regardless of the place hosting a few larger parties, the energy still felt intimate and cozy. I really hope this place sticks around for years to come. Its places like these that age like fine wine ♥️

Always a pleasant experience. Great service and the meals consistently excellent. This is a hidden Gem in Hamilton. Make sure that you book on advance. We were there with friends on a Wednesday night and the place was packed. The French Onion Soup is a treat.

First visit was this evening for my Mother's birthday.
Had the chicken supreme. I did not want the mushrooms and I think they subbed the sauce to creamy red pepper sauce. Whatever, it was delicious.
The skin was crisped to perfection and the breast tender and moist. Really liked the sauce.
It was served with breaded and deep fried teardrop of pureed potatoes and tender-crisp vegetables including carrots, parsips, peppers and fine green beans.
Portions were perfect.
Service was excellent, that combo of attentive and descreet.
I particularly enjoyed the complimentary bread basket. From still warm bread sticks, thick slices of fresh calabrese to fresh baked herb biscuits.
My mother and brother had the prime rib and both enjoyed the generous portions of tender beef with yorkshire pudding and au jus.
Great evening!

Dined with friends at the Purple Pear for my wife’s birthday. I can’t say enough about the atmosphere, great food and personal touches by Victor and his wonderful staff. Restaurants like this are few and far between and we will definitely be back ❤️

Fantastic place. Went here for a date night with my spouse. Service was amazing, the atmosphere was spectacular (I loved all the pear decor). Food was absolutely worth every penny spent. Definitely recommend!
Vegetarian options: There are plenty of pastas for vegetarian options. I'm not sure about any other ones, though.
Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp right at the front door for ease of access
The food was delicious with attentive service but the venue is old and very musty. There’s an old smoky odour when you enter which is overtaken by the musty old carpet. Wish I could move the staff and food to a new location. I was so congested that would not be likely to return.
Food, service, atmosphere, nostalgia, awesome. Nice to see the owner working and talking to the patrons. See you again !

A trip down memory lane. Fine dining as it is intended to be. The service is on point, anticipating needs the entire meal. Our party of four (one an Executive Chef), agreed best dining experience ever! The owner is a lovely amicable gentleman. Our server could not have been more attentive, carefully watching our table but not intrusive. The ambience, decor, and background music are so inviting. The meals were exquisite, cooked to perfection! We will be reminiscing about this experience until we return again. Thanks for the amazing evening!
