Food is bad (unfresh?) service was friendly and sizes are huge…read more Classic situation where a not so good restaurants compensates with volume. Serving portions are huge but taste wasn't there. 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.

Decided on fish and chips after hiking and so we were hungry! We had 2 dogs with us and luckily…read morethere was no one on the patio during that time. The fish, fried chicken and fries were all fried so we'll. The batter they used for the chicken and fish was well seasoned. They came hot and crunchy. The amount of sauce they gave us for each portion was a good amount. I would love to come back when in the area (Y)

I was really looking forward to trying out Aberdeen Tavern as my sister said it was good. We went…read moreon a steak Sunday...the only day they theme is steak oriented, although there were also non steak dishes. The complementary bread was amazing. The slices were soft, and addictive. I also ordered Mexican Street Corn that was sweet and spicy at the same time. It was good. For the steak, I ordered a medium rare tenderloin, which was cooked to the right temperature. However the seasoning was basic. The green peppercorn jus that came with the steak was salty. The same went for the Mac and cheese. That was disappointing. It's a shame as the dining room was very nice, but the food weren't quality.

Eggs Benedict didn't disappoint, tofu eggs would be better with keeping thetoast on the side to keep it crispy and a pickled onion and or chutney might be a nice add to this dish.

We had a wonderful experience at Secco! We were eight people so made reservations beforehand,…read moreespecially because the restaurant has limited seating. My friend and I ordered the Secco platter which included brussels sprouts, truffle fries, wagu tacos, and shrimp. We asked them to sub the chicken for pork belly bao, and they did so free of charge. Not only was the food was delicious, the platter was also enough for two people and was reasonably priced. Inside was cozy, with a large bar in the middle. Would definitely recommend!

What's brunch without bubbles? Had a gorgeous & filling weekend brunch at Secco - Hamilton's first…read moreProsecco bar. Started off with a glass of Flora Prosecco: a semi sweet cocktail with peach schapps, watermelon, lemon, st germain, & Prosecco. For mains, we shared the ube French toast & braised short rib benny. This was my first time trying ube, and I really enjoyed it! It's similar to taro but less starchy, and it has a slight savouriness to it that complemented the syrup and whipped cream on the French toast so well. The braised short rib was incredibly tender, and that cheddar biscuit - WOW. Literally was wiping my plate clean of the egg yolk & hollandaise sauce with them. Service was friendly & attentive even though there was only one server. What really made this experience special was the ambiance - warm lighting, and modern bar decor pieces juxtaposing the intricate crown moulding on the ceiling & chandelier.

Why settle for just chicken soup for the soul when you can have so many other comforting, fresh…read moresoups from this place? A classic spot in Hamilton for a quick lunch or to warm you up on a chilly winter's day. I'm a sucker for their creamy tomato with tortellini soup (I know, so basic), but their cream of mushroom & peanut chicken soups are also sooo good! Soups rotate every so often, and they have some of the most unique, ethnic soups I've ever seen, so it's great for the adventurous foodie. Pair with a half/full sandwich or side salad if you're looking for something to fill you up! Service is friendly & quick, but seating is limited.

Pizza!!! For the…read morelove of pizza. But also bread. But it was all a ok. Better late than never to finish this review! Came in between shift changes. They had no coffee. Or at least they didn't have any. Waited for 30 minutes for drip. No refills. Pizza were loaded. Not traditional or anywhere close. Kitchen sink/ was literal kitchen sink. Only thing missing was kitchen sink. Loaded fries were loaded. It was better than the pizza. The itself was casual. Came here during a heavy rain so no patio. It wasn't busy but not empty. Bread / bakery part looks good though. Server : first one was super nice: she had siblings and love babies. Second one was older, almost could by a grandma that doesn't like children. Her vibe was just off. Over all, A OK!!

Stopped by for lunch on our way to Niagara Falls. We chose to sit at the bar instead of at a table…read morebecause even though there was a sign saying to wait to be seated, no one came and greeted us. Service was honestly pretty bad. The lady serving us was rude and I understand she may be the only one manning the tables, but it honestly was not too busy since only 4 tables taken and it was not peak hours, but the tone she kept using with us to "give her a second" was not pleasant. We ordered a BBQ chicken chop salad, the original hamont burger with fries, and two beers. Food took a while to come out. Salad was really fresh but I didn't know it came with beans, which I'm not a fan of. Burger was honestly a bit too salty and dry for me. I also tried asking for ranch for my fries but was told it's an additional $2CAD?! That's pretty expensive for someone from SoCal since sauce is usually free or at most 25 cents in LA. Parking was convenient because we were lucky and found metered parking right iufside
