Amazing food, great service, dim and quiet ambiance. Put on your Sunday best and take out a partner or friend for a special occasion. The parking lot nearby is extremely convenient as well. read more

Best steaks in town since the Sirloin Cellar closed down. Unlike the previous reviewer, from what I've witnessed the staff is extremely attentive and kind. In fact we just had our regular waiter come over to us to say Happy New Year even though he's not serving our table tonight. The food is always good and delicious. I always get the filet mignon. I would highly recommend this place to family and friends read more

This place has amazing food and amazing service. I dined here on a recent visit to Ontario and wanted to try everything on the menu. I started with the French Onion soup. It was awesome..cheesy and decadent! For the main course, I ordered a NY striploin steak, a side of mushroom risotto and a Lobster tail. My friend ordered the stuffed chicken breast and a side of Alaskan king crab legs. This was a meal fit for a king! Everything was tasty and cooked to perfection. After we polished off the main course, we decided to order dessert. We ordered the trio of crème brules and the trio of sample sized desserts which included crème brule, tiramisu, and ice cream. It was ALL good! A perfect ending to a perfect meal, and I look forward to returning here on my next visit!! read more

We have lived in the Stoney Creek/Hamilton area for about three years and were not aware of this restaurant until recently. The parking area for restaurant patrons right across the street was very convenient. The layout of the restaurant inside was interesting....much like a home. Decor was beautifully done. We made a reservation and were seated immediately. The oversized table for two was perfection. We ordered wine after waiting about 5 minutes to see a server. Not terrible but surprising. Wine was presented well and the olive, cheese and pickled mushroom plate presented with bread was outstanding. Unfortunately we waited another 10 minutes to get the dinner menu. They were not overly busy so we were not sure if perhaps they were understaffed? We both ordered French onion soup to start and I had the chicken and shrimp, and my husband ordered the beef special which was a 14 oz bone in tenderloin. I loved the broth in the soup although the cheese was lacking. It was quite peppery so if pepper is not something you enjoy this soup is not for you. The chicken was a complete surprise. Overcooked and rubbery. The shrimp were big and well done. There was some kind of red wine reduction on the chicken but this did not make the chicken any more tasteful. Very disappointing. The tenderloin was well cooked and delicious. Unfortunately it was not worth the price at $55. We had fresh sorbet for dessert which was delicious. Mango and raspberry. Once we were presented with the menus the service was great. Unfortunately they could or should have done much better on the food side. Overall bill of $200 without tip. We have had absolutely delicious food at that price. We hope we caught them on an off night. We may try once more this summer. read more

It is difficult to find a luxury restaurant in Hamilton, Ontario. The best steaks this side of the Innsville. The staff were polite and almost over-attentive. Our water was constantly re-filled. The portion sizes were good and none of us had room for desert. They were easily able to accomodate a large party that included children, and took quite some time after we'd finished to deliver the bill. A fact we appreciated, as we don't like to feel as if we're getting the proverbial bum's rush out of a restaurant once we've eaten. I did read the review about "tired decor", however I love the art deco look and feel of the place (we were seated in the private dining area near the front). It is a classical style that will appeal to anyone who appreciates a call to the building's origins. In a neighborhood where it sits surrounded by hundred (or more!) year old buildings, Lo Presti's would look tacky if it were made more "modern". Of course I've never been a fan of modern boxes full of plastic furniture in the first place. I've only given the restaurant a 4/5 because I feel that they should put pricing on the menu or outside of the door. I've read many reviews giving a price anywhere from $50 to $100 for a meal. If certain options are much more expenses than others, a customer should certainly know what they're getting into....if not before walking through the door, then at least once they've sat down. We will most certainly go back on our next special occasion and, fair warning, we do attend with children so others may not want to review the restaurant on days when we're there (or it's liable to receive a "loud" rating, ahahaha) read more

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. The food was amazing and they offered a few options for our vegan, gluten free guest. Our only issue was that the menu didn't have pricing. It felt pretentious. Even billionaires want to know the price of dinner. We were charged around $20 an entree which wasn't bad at all, and again, everything was amazing. The steak was cooked to perfection, the staff were wonderful, our table was lovely and I loved the Art Deco style they had going on. Other than the innsville, this is the only restaurant in Hamilton worth visiting! read more

I can't say enough good things about the food; it's simply superb. From the moment we walked in and were warmly greeted by the host, to the courteous attentive servers, top notch service. And then the food is out of this world. I always come here when looking for a delicious meal with good service. read more

Lo Presti's has been one of the finer restaurants in Hamilton for as long as I can remember. We have spent many family birthdays there, numerous after work cocktails and have known the staff for years. Unfortunately it's no longer the fine dining mecca it was in the 80's, and the decor is tired, the menu sounds wonderful but unfortunately the food was way too salty, and greasy. We had 7 people at the table and not one person was impressed with either their starter or main. The food was served luke warm not hot and the staff not very attentive. The place needs a facelift, simply some paint, dim the lights a little, put on a little music and remove 50% of the menu items so they can focus on making what they have on the menu well not mediocre. They have excellent, quality items on the menu - such as sea bass, local fish options, organic meat, in season local fare - so they know what to serve but need help in the execution... The last time I went was a few years ago and was also disappointed then as well. If we hear they have made improvements I would return, but until then I wouldn't waste the $80+ approx per person at Lo Presti's. read more
