Two of Us had NY Classic steaks which were delicious. I and another guest had the feature 20 Oz Ribeye Steak I would say I could not eat half of the steak due to grissol and fat throughout. Same for the other guest who had the Ribeye Steak. The Service was excellent, the servers could not be more accomodating. This is the first time We have had any complaints at Napoleon's. My partner and I will return to Napoleon's but the other couple have said they never will.

Rust Bistrobar is the only spot in Burlington that makes me want to permanently squat in the…read morekitchen and call it a day. Having been back here close to a dozen times over the last decade, I can firmly say this place is the perfect combination of gastro-ingenuity and traditional staples done right. The vibe is "industrial chic," which is essentially code for "I'm feeling something fancy, but still want to be able to visit in my Kirkland shorts." The food has a heavy focus on local ingredients, with flavors that are incredibly tight and well-balanced. The steak frites are so tender I'm pretty sure they were cut with a polite suggestion rather than a knife. The scallops are meaty and perfectly cooked. And of course the burger is absolutely mouthwatering and make it the tempting default option during each visit. The appetizers are all fantastic, Kat and the Korean cauliflower takes the cake! For desert, their house cheesecake is phenomenal, and their in house amber ale is full and flavourful. Our server was on the ball; the water was never empty, and the check ins were always at the right time. Verdict: 10/10. If you want western food with a fun twist and high quality ingredients, this is one spot you must check out!

Although it is at a premium price, it is absolutely worth it for special occasions and for the steakhouse enthusiasts. Our steaks were cooked perfectly (we had one medium well & one medium rare), and it was exciting to see a beef Wellington on the menu! Sides are also very generous in portion. We also had no issues with accommodating a guest's dietary restrictions. Beyond the food, the restaurant itself is nestled in one of the best streets for dining in Hamilton. From the floor to ceiling glass windows, to the ample lounge-like seating, to the fairy lights hung outside, it feels like being nestled in a cozy alcove in the middle of the city.

We were able to get seated right away although the hostess did ask if we had a reservation - probably the prudent thing to do. Our waitress was lovely and came around promptly to make sure we were settling in. She made sure to highlight the Keg's lobster summer menu which had lobster in different ways including surf and turf. She also made sure to point out that the lobsters are fresh and not frozen. We were set up with table bread to being with. If you haven't been to The Keg before, the bread is amazing. It's almost piping hot and brought out wrapped up in a cloth like a delicious bread baby. It usually is served with whipped butter but this time the butter had some mix-ins. The Keg is known for steak but their prime rib is always excellent. Most times I've gone, they aim for it to be medium-rare in doneness. They can run out of your preferred doneness choice so it is a bit better to go earlier. My prime rib was medium-rare and absolutely perfect. It was tender and delicious with or without the au jus. My boyfriend had the surf and turf, which meant I got to partake in the lobster! The lobster is served with melted butter that is kept melty throughout the entire meal over a little tealight. They also provided a cracker and seafood fork so we were able to get ever bit of the lobster. I'm happy to report that the lobster was also delicious! The meat itself was so good so the lobster honestly didn't even need the butter. The mains were so good that I wound up polishing off mine and part of my dates. I was so full and satisfied that I was actually able to pass on dessert!

They were incredibly fresh, a great size, and absolutely delicious. At $4 each they're definitely on the pricey side, but if you're planning a visit, Wednesday after 5 p.m. is the best time to go for their half-price oyster special. We also ordered the burrata paired with their focaccia bread, which was very good. While it wasn't the best burrata I've ever had, it was still a solid 4/5 and worth ordering. The bread alone was very tasty and fresh. The truffle parmesan fries were a bit of a letdown (3/5). They came topped with a very thick, mayo-based sauce that wasn't the most appetizing. I think I'd have enjoyed them much more if the sauce had been served on the side for dipping, but that's just my personal preference. The cocktails were a mixed bag. The Sunset Skies was easily our favourite and one I'd happily order again. Unfortunately, the High Noon wasn't for me--it had a very floral flavour that I found unpalatable. What really made the experience exceptional was the service. Our server was incredibly attentive and noticed that I hadn't touched my High Noon cocktail. Without hesitation, they offered to replace it with another drink of my choice and removed the original cocktail from our bill. That level of attentiveness and customer service really stood out. Overall, the food was enjoyable, the cocktails had a standout winner, and the service was outstanding. I'd definitely return, especially for the oysters on Wednesday evenings. Service was a 5/5.

The oysters were to die for. The scallop crudo was a hit & the tomahawk steak was cooked to perfection. My favourite was the mushrooms & parmesan fries. Service was exceptional & we were well taken care of throughout the evening. The only reason i'm giving 4/5 stars is because of the bathroom & the lobster. The lobster was quite chewy & unappealing so for the price I was expecting a lot more. The bathroom stall was a mess with pee all over the floor.

"Always Excellent, Year after Year!"…read more I have eaten at Shakespeare's once a year for a business Christmas lunch for the last several years. And year after year, the food service and ambiance are all excellent. Chef Franco who has been at the helm for 42 years, knows a thing or two about steaks. For anyone who thinks the prices are too high, you must be still longing for the Ponderosa restaurants to come back. A great 12 ounce NY will cost $28-$40 in most good steak restaurants and a filet can be as high as $40-$45. What's most important however is that you are happy you spent that kind of money when you're eating your steak.And at Shakespeare, you will feel that it was money well spent. The steaks are always cooked exactly as you order them and very flavorful. They also has a nice selection of seafood and the waiter brings out a sample tray of the various kinds of fish they have. Although I have never had the seafood, it always looks amazing. The service is also excellent. The waiters are passionate about their work and are very attentive and always within a glance away. The ambiance is warm and "pub-like" and unlike most modern restaurants, they still use crisp white table cloths. While there may be other restaurants around, I doubt any of them have been at it for 42 years.

I wanted to take my wife to a nice restaurant for her birthday and after some looking I decided to…read moretake her to Lord Nelson in Burlington. It's located in a small unassuming strip mall. When we entered we weren't greeted and the young coat check/hostess seemed a bit timid and confused. Eventually an older lady greeted us and I told her we had a reservation, which in the notes online I had requested "a quiet table for 2". The lady explained that they were having an "event" today and we could have a table in a private room that is quieter but the table in the main room is much nicer. Not wanting to make a fuss I told her the regular table would be fine. It wasn't too long afterwards I regretted this decision as the main room was very loud, and after another group was seated next to us it got even rowdier. It felt more like a pub during a game night rather than a fine dining restaurant. (This was on a Thursday evening) The hostess did check our coats which was nice. Anyways, I read in the reviews that the Caesar salad is made table side and is really good so we started with that. My wife ordered the Lord Nelson special and I got the Chicken Supreme. Shortly after we ordered we were brought a small platter with pickles, olives, Pate and a bowl of garlic bread. I have been to restaurants before where they bring you complimentary bread but this was 2 tiny pieces of garlic bread. I tried it with the pate but it was better on its own as the pate didn't have much of a taste to it. Eventually the waiter set up the salad table and began to make it infront of us. He appeared to be making the dressing and everything from scratch but I can't be sure as he didn't really explain what he was doing. He just started mixing and mashing and I couldn't tell what some of the ingredients were. It would have been great if he explained what he was doing or even asked if we cared. Especially considering this salad costs almost $50. About 1/3 of the way through he stopped to help another table light something. He took the lighter they were using to try and start up some sort of fondue or something. Then he came back and continued making our salad without washing his hands. Yeah, he's using utensils to make the salad but he's squeezing the lemon with his bare hands and...well it's not hygienic, ya know? Anyways the salad and the experience of having a nice Caesar made traditionally from scratch infront of you is great and it tasted good but not $50 good. It was a bit heavy on the dressing. Our mains came shortly after we finished the salad. My wifes Lord Nelson special featured Beef Tenderloin Tournedos which were cooked to perfection. Very delicious. My Chicken Supreme was also very tasty. Both came with the exact same sides though my cubed potatoes were slightly undercooked. We were too full to finish our meals so we got the leftovers put away for us. They were placed in cheap flimsy containers more suited to Chinese food restaurants, and we didn't get a bag or anything to put them in. Not very fancy at all. We skipped dessert and got the bill. In my opinion it was quite expensive for what we got. I have been to expensive, fine dining restaurants and steakhouses before and this place just isn't worth the cost. As we were leaving we had to wait awkwardly at the front because we needed our coats and no one was there to get them for us. Eventually the young hostess came over and handed our coats back to us in a big bundle. The poor thing seemed very spaced out and out of her element. Anyways, the wife was pleased so Mission Accomplished but I won't be back, especially at that price, and I don't recommend anyone else go unless they have money to burn. TL;DR, Expensive steaks with meh service.
