“Went with my wife and two young girls…greeted with smile felt welcomed. While we waited for our delicious, fresh pizza, they allowed my 15 month old to venture around the back, and they didn’t bat an eye! Very nice people working. Pizza and Donuts were delish!!!! Definitely going to be going back!“

“Had a wonderful dine-in experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The service truly stood out as well. Rupinder Kaur provided exceptional customer service: warm, attentive, and professional throughout our visit. She made sure everything was perfect and made us feel genuinely welcome. Overall, a great atmosphere, great food, and outstanding service. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“We ordered the Salmon sushi and it was so fresh and tasty! The portions were generous and we especially enjoyed the breaded scallops appetizers and the sushi nachos! The staff was very friendly. I can't wait to order again!“

“What a lovely place to celebrate (early) Valentine’s Day! The menu was fun and everything was served fresh with great care and thought. The owner continuously checked up on us which made us feel super welcomed! The Nashville Hot Chicken was a bit too crispy for my liking, but that was quickly set right by a complementary basque cheesecake with burnt caramel (which may be the best we’ve ever had). The atmosphere is so thoughtfully decorated and beautiful and everything is spotless. The service was also great, of course. The cocktails were another highlight; we thoroughly enjoyed the passion fruit martini and winter colada. I would give 6 stars if I could!“

“We had supper at this location last evening with my husband’s two daughters and one our granddaughters, her boyfriend and our son-in-law. Andrew was our excellent server who was pleasant and friendly despite having worked all day. He was very attentive and saw to all our requests in a timely manner. He organized individual bills accurately and everything came as ordered. He is an excellent member of your staff, and we hope to be served by him at our next visit!!“

“Had a 2 piece cod and chips meal with coleslaw.$18.95. Best fish and chips I have had in a while. Cod was crispy and not overly battered. Good size pieces as well. Too much for me but as the cod was thick it reheated in airfryer the next day beautifully. Now my favorite go to for fish and chips in Hamilton. I want to amend this to say there are new owners as of 2025 and they have changed the menus. This review was from previous owner.“

Elyse, brado, and there server who served us (updated once we get his name) (Feb23 @12am) are especially hardworking and who put effort in treating their guests.

We'll always be back for the people who work they're hardest here.“

“Fantastic food and great service. Ordered takeout on a whim while visiting from out of town and staying across the street. Some of the best lentil soup I’ve ever had! Loved that it was puréed.

Everything was fresh and delicious, and was ready quite fast. The portions were huge so we had a lot of leftovers to enjoy. If we are in the area we’ll be back!“

“I recently ordered a veggie pizza from Domino's, and I must say—it was absolutely incredible! The flavors were perfectly balanced, the vegetables were fresh and well-cooked, and the crust had just the right amount of crispiness. Every bite was bursting with taste, and I could genuinely tell that care had gone into the preparation.

What made the experience even better was the outstanding customer service. I want to give a special shout-out to Mr. Arpit, the manager at Domino's. He was not only polite and professional but went above and beyond to ensure that my order was perfect. It’s rare to come across someone so dedicated and passionate about delivering a great customer experience. His warm attitude and attention to detail truly made a difference.

Thank you, Domino’s, and thank you Mr. Arpit, for making this one of the best pizza experiences I’ve ever had. Highly recommend to anyone looking for both great food and excellent service!“

“Delicious fresh food, have ordered take out for the past 20+ years, always ready on time, brought out fresh & hot with a smile. Latest gastronomical delight: a hearty hefty large lasagna for my wife's 50th Birthday Party 🥳 ordered 3 days in advance, ready on time, hot & fresh, kept warm in a silver tray we later rinsed & recycled. This was encased in a slab cardboard pizza box making it conve bynient to carry. Served to our 12 guests about 40 minutes later receiving delicious reviews, we still have some leftover.
Well worth it.

Usual order is a large pepperoni pizza. Priced right, delicious, hot & ready on time.

Creamy Cannoli are available for last minute dessert choices, as is an assortment of tasty gelato.
Frontine staff consists of a friendly highly capable long time manager with well mannered efficient staff.

The 2nd location in the upper part of East Hamilton has larger seating options with a hands on owner, brother to Westdale owner.

Enjoyed a large lasagna“

“I had the breakfast poutine (minus the egg) this morning and it was superb. Very large portion, beautifully crisp fries and the amounts of cheese curds, bacon and sausage were very generous. We will definitely be back!“

“As a Turk who has been living in Canada for 5 years, I can confidently say that this is the restaurant I've been most satisfied with in terms of price-performance ratio. We had dinner there twice when I came to Hamilton to visit friends. Generous portions of vegetables and meat, fresh, delicious food, and friendly service. The prices are incredibly reasonable too. I hope they never change. Chinese cuisine has become my favorite. They represent their country very well.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“

“Best food I've ever had my 17 year old loves the sauce ya put on rice,so healthy and fresh definitely recommend Tom yum soup.I always try something different there.Great people“

“Really delicious food
My daughter loved the Mac and cheese with bacon
And the chicken pad thai was delicious

We also had the coconut snow ball desert was was also delicious and a great way to end the meal.

The chef spoke with us to ask how the meal was and she said everything is homemade and only cooked when ordered and you could definitely tell because it was all excellent home cooked food that you can tell was made with passion and love.“

“Hands down the best restaurant i've been to, not only is the menu extremely extensive but you cook everything yourself to your own preference...“

“They make a really good old school pizza 😋 🍕“

“What a perfect hidden gem. We had just visited the RBG and were looking for somewhere to grab a bite for lunch. Scanning Google Maps, I found this café. I was so happy as our local ones have closed up and it was always a favourite for us. We ordered a sandwich to go as we chose to eat outside since we were travelling with our dogs. There are plenty of picnic tables outside with beautiful views of the harbour. The interior dining room looked so cozy with plenty of booths and a fireplace. The staff were lovely, and when they heard we were splitting dessert, they cut it nicely in half. I've added this to my map as a place to visit again when in the area.“

“Excellent food, great servers, friendly atmosphere“

“Had a gyro and fries today. BEST fries I have ever had in my life! And I am a senior citizen. Hot, fresh, not greasy and salted to perfection. I will never get fries anywhere else. Kudos to the cook!“

“The best Pho in Hamilton bar none.“
