When ordering, I highly recommend pairing a small plate or companion with a larger plate! I ordered the Pork Belly Barbacoa and shared a small plate of Olive Oil and Rosemary Focaccia. The yogurt in the pork belly had a tarte and creamy texture, and it paired beautifully with the focaccia, which I used to scoop out the rest of the yogurt. The dessert menu was small but mighty. I had a strawberry crème brûlé with ice cream (great for sharing if you just want a little treat). Drink were great. I'm a sucker for anything with lavender.

Met up with cousins and their kids over at the Ship. Didn't think it was kid friendly but indeed it was. The place was quaint and casual, food was amaaaaazing. Ordered the fried perch which was seasoned amazingly! Sweet potato fries and the crab poutine which I did not think I would like but it was soooooo good and flavors were unexpected. Service was quick and my daughter and niece were pleased also with everything. Will definitely come back to Hamilton just to eat here

Had the crab poutine and while massive it tasted old and fishy. Ordered the French onion burger and while also big, the meat tasted expired. I was sincerely worried that I would get sick later (so far it's the day after and I'm fine). The optional ceasar salad upgrade was delicious though. Server was great and super friendly. Place is classic pub and felt grimy. Won't be back because the food is awful.

The only thing I ever ate here was the classic fingers and fries for $8.99 in a fair portion. The staff are really nice. In addition, if you want to add halal chicken, shrimp or chili, you can add to any starter for $3.75. The times when I came to Twelve Eighty, were mainly after dinner when student clubs host a clubbing night on Wednesdays, events for freshmen and Thursdays where it's clubbing night hosted by twelve eighty, called Thirsty Thursdays. You're looking at shots and beer for around $4 and cocktails for around $5. There are booths on the side to sit and enjoy, while the other area of the bar is for dancing.

It had rained the day we went and while indoor dining was bustling, we chose to sit outside on the patio, which was empty on arrival. Tables and chairs were wet but the weather changed and the sun shone again, drying up the area. We ordered several appetizers to share; bang bang shrimp (yummy), soup dumplings (yummy), spinach and artichoke dip (mediocre - have had better), sweet potato and regular fries plus dips (both very good) and dragon boat lettuce wraps (the crispy noodle and chicken with hoisin sauce and cashews was delicious and my favourite but the lettuce leaves had spoiled spots and seemed not to be thoroughly washed). I took the liberty of cleaning the lettuce before eating it. We also received dirty plates but bringing this to our server's attention quickly remedied the problem. Besides these minute concerns, the food and service and company were great! The patio filled up quite fast shortly after we placed our order and received our food. Arriving before dinnertime surely worked in our favour!
