Good food, when I've gone to dinner here I've never had a complaint. Night life is also pretty pleasant, I had a complaint about one of the bartenders, blonde girl who was extremely rude... maybe because she was overwhelmed but still unacceptable. The manager I spoke to was very understanding and apologized. Besides that I've always had a great time at this establishment! read more

I was hesitant to try this place, but actually was pleasantly surprised! Stumbling upon Radius after being told it was a 2 hour wait at another place, we got seated right away. It was busy, it was a little loud, but I think that's all part of the atmosphere! I love the decor, the rustic industrial feel is so beautiful. The space is really big. The service was good and our server was very nice. I had chicken wings and beet salad, both were SO tasty! I drank white sangria and a hazelnut salt coffee..both also delicious! I have absolutely no complaints about the food or service and I am excited to go back and try some more items from the menu! Really lovely job Radius!! read more

Radius - Such big and delicious chicken wings!! - Lounges Near Me - Hamilton, Ontario

Amazing! Food was 5+++ Our group are on the bar side and it was fine. At 10 it turned into a 'club' atmosphere but was nice. Can't wait to sit on the patio soon. read more

Don't get the steak it's like eating a leather boot. Service was good along with the atmosphere read more

Each time I have been here the service has been extremely helpful, patient and kind. The atmosphere is wonderful, the jazz is wonderful and the food is outstanding. Every item I've had on their menu has blown me away. By far the best I've had in Hamilton. read more

Had the burger for burger month today. It was fantastic! Had a kick to it but it was a nice, juicy and home made burger. Wine was great and service was great! read more

Amazing service! Great atmosphere! Food was great! Would like to see more options in the menu soon! The vegan Ice cream was amazing! It was my Birthday so being allergic to dairy nuts and eggs sucks! But they made it great! read more

The worst service I've ever had. Overpriced meal. Wanted us to pay extra to cut a cake we bought ourselves ($2-$3 per person). Food wasn't even worth half its price. Not recommending anyone to go here and not coming back. Get some staff that know how to respect their customers. read more

I've been to Radius for dinner and for brunch. For dinner I'd give them 4 stars but brunch maybe 2. For dinner, the braised beef rib is amazing and one of their dessert tea/wine (I forget the name) is perfect to end the night. For brunch, the options are very mediocre. We started with the pastries and fruit platter and I had the chicken and waffles while my friends had the Radius Hash. I also had their $5 mimosa special.The pastries and fruit platter is very heavy on pastries and low on fruit other than a few garnishes. It's what you'd get from any catering company but served on a wooden board. I found that both the chicken and waffles and the hash were heavy on the potato but low on everything else. On the same note, the mimosa was heavy on orange juice and low on booze. Despite the food, service was great. read more

Excellent service from the moment we stepped in! Our waitress was super helpful, friendly, and accomodating. The ambiance of the restaurant was great and I loved the varying seating options. We ordered soups and I also got a shrimp po'boy. Both of which tasted great. Really recommend this place for an evening out with friends or a date. It wasn't too crowded on a Tuesday evening and made for a really intimate environment. read more

Love the atmosphere, the décor, everything. The food is hit or miss I find. But if you're going there for some wine and appetizers and to listen to some live music, you're all good. read more

The best food I've ever had hands down. The waitress we had was extremely knowledgable about foods, pairings, palettes, and as well as being extremely kind It made our overall experience wonderful and welcoming. The plates were beautifuly put together and made enjoying our food a welcomed adventure. The house wine was extremely reasonably priced and tasted great, and paired perfectly with the mains that night. Can't wait to go again! read more

Two very different places in the same building. Full restaurant serving some great food and wine choices. Half price Ontario wines on Wednesdays. On the other a cafe and they can serve alcohol there too. The building has had quite a refit and is steeped in local history, once the home of one of the founding fathers of Hamilton and the current owner has lots of local attachment. Really want to see this place succeed but the service here is really hit and miss and that can make or break an experience. Sometimes it has been attentive and engaging but on others it is at best non-plussed but at the very worst have had to go in search of someone to even get served. The huge patio will always save this place in the summer. Could easily be a 4 star and with some real work even a 5, but the general let down on staff only warrants it a 3. read more

I haven't even been, but will never go. Tried to call to inquire about Christmas Eve brunch (because many places are not open) - instead of a human, I got an answering service that gave me several choices but NO CHOICE TO SPEAK TO A HUMAN. Ridiculous. read more

An 'aesthetically-pleasing' restaurant, with terribly unpleasant food and service. I try to be balanced as I can with recommendations, but this restaurant is in a great deal of trouble. I have had ~3 experience at radius, both in large group and small group settings. In small group settings the service was ok, but food poor. I have a reasonable working knowledge of Hamilton restaurants and I can say 'Radius' would never pass my lips as a recommendation. Aesthetics are not enough to please customers, and this restaurant suffers from a multitude of problems. From bad service* to poor menu planning, I am perplexed beyond belief how a new-ish restaurant, can be so poorly run. I recently attended a large gathering here. We had prepaid for a very large group and from the outset seemed to be organized (it had been planned months prior). First of all, the service was appalling. One waitress had been organized for ~50 people. The waitress was fine, but clearly this was mismanagement from the start --as one waitress to 50 people is absurd. Next, the food was *strikingly awful with cold, burnt dishes that clearly represented disorganization, poor pre-planning and frankly, lack of capacity for this many guests. The manager was apologetic but I fear this is not enough. After being here on several occasions, I hoped things would improve, alas, this last event may be the death knell for any hope for a recommendation. If you are planning an event here, make sure to be crystal clear with management up front. read more

Went here with three friends for a drink at 11pm on a Friday night. It was a great place. Nice patio, service was great, never had an empty glass that wasn't replaced within a minute (but not in a pushy way). The only negative is we were warned our waitress would be a redhead....we were very scared!! But after meeting the lovely waitress we were comforted in the fact that she was a nice redhead and wouldn't steal our souls! Recommend this place!! read more

I visited Radius on a long weekend Saturday at around 8:00pm for dinner with a friend. I searched extensively on Yelp for a nice restaurant with great food because I was traveling from Toronto. Although I was a little apprehensive after reading some bad reviews I was excited to try it out. The food did not disappoint, it was a memorable experience. We were greeted at the front door by a couple of very friendly hostesses who were all smiles and a pleasure to meet. We were asked which area of the restaurant we wanted to be seated and we chose the dining room. Once seated we asked to be reseated in the bar area which the hostess was happy to accommodate. We were served by two different waitresses. They were both very cold and did not crack a smile. They went through the menu in a very monotone way. The second waitress was visibly looking my friend up and down as if she was judging her outfit. They were not rude or anything, just very disconnected and uninterested. Service was quick and our second waitress came to check on us often so I can't really complain. There was just a visible difference between the friendliness of the hostesses vs the waitresses. I was impressed by the nonalcoholic selection of cocktails on the menu. They all looked very good, but I chose the pineapple ginger mint fizz. It was absolutely delicious! The best drink I have ever ordered. I don't even care that it was nonalcoholic. It was fruity and spicy from the ginger with a layer of foam overtop. Very different and so so good. For food we ordered two appetizers, the ahi tuna and the fusion style chicken wings. The ahi tuna came in thick perfectly seared steaks. They were not spectacular but cooked and presented very well. I would have appreciated a special sauce or something because they were kind of plain, but still very good. The fusion style wings were absolutely divine!!!!! The wings were jumbo, breaded, very saucy, sticky and sweet. The sauce was like a thick sticky honey garlic with sour cream and green onions on top. The combination was soooo good I was not ashamed to suck the sauce off of my fingers afterwards. We did not order entrees because the place was not busy at all and we wanted to go check out some busier nightlife so we left after the apps and cocktails. However I was kind of disappointed that I did not get to try more items on the menu. The prices are high but I thought the quality of the food was amazing and worth it. The service was quick but not very friendly. I will definitely be visiting again when I am in town. read more

This was my second time at Radius for lunch. I ordered a very nice grilled chicken sandwich with salad. When I was ordering the server asked me what side I would like to have with my sandwich I asked her what were my options. She said I could have any of their salads if I didn't want the fries. So I went with a salad. What she didn't tell me was that there would be a $3 up-charge for the salad. I found that really sleazy and hence my 2 star rating. read more

Had a great birthday dinner here with a large group of friends. We sat in the lounge, which had a nice atmosphere and even a DJ. My kale salad was fantastic - it was loaded with dressing and very garlicky! I also enjoyed my mushroom pappardelle. I wish the wine list had a few more options by the glass though. read more

I love Radius and frequent it routinely, but last night after a month of trying to find a night to go I went with my husband. Wednesday at 9pm we ordered a bottle of red and two appetizers. The wine was great but our server was too busy cleaning the bar for closing time to realize after forty minutes (and finishing our bottle of wine) that the appetizers didn't arrive. We tried to get his attention to this effect thirty minutes in but he was focused on shining the bar fridges. We had the appetizers with our water! Nothing was removed from the bill, nor were we offered a complimentary glass of wine to eat our apps with. Maybe that's ok because he said sorry? No. Further adding to extreme disappointment, the person who appeared to be the manager sat at the bar getting a neck and shoulder massage her skin to the male waiters hands. Service was deplorable and visually disgusting and it's sad because I really loved (past tense) this place. read more

Don't eat oysters in discount. 3 in dozen tasted disgusting and smelled like rotted. Everything is ok except the oysters. Oysters are 0 star and other dishes are ok. Tasted not as perfect but have good appearance. read more

More than half empty on a Sunday at one and I know why. Unskilled servers and mediocre food abound at Radius. Top it off with a room temperature espresso and you'll know why will not be back. read more

For what it is (an upper class restaurant and patio) it is not bad. I wouldn't go here if I had my choice of place in Hamilton but it tends to be a workplace favourite for lunch and I'm not complaining. The chicken sandwich and fish and chips are pretty darn good. The service is pretty good too. read more

I really liked it here, albeit I just ordered a steamed milk with a shot of vanilla. I love how big it is inside - so much different than other coffee shops. read more

I love going to Radius! I have been for brunch, dinner, late night meal and drinks for a night out and enjoyed my time each time. The food is great! I usually get the eggs Benedict for breakfast and I have ordered the duck wings and both were amazing! I still crave the duck wings regularly. The staff are friendly and it's beautifully decorated, inside and outside! The patio is amazing! read more

Smaller trendy little spot downtown which with a bar side and a dim lit seating side. The bar side is smaller with a few tables and booths, and looks like it fills up easily. Went on a Saturday and the place was quite busy overall. Had the calamari as an app which was good and the Tomahawk pork chop for entree, which was cooked well (not overcooked and dried out to s***) Good selection of beer/draft and other spirits. Don't recommend the Caesar for the price as it is nothing special really and costing around $10. After all is said and done, it is a bit pricey, but the food and atmosphere make it all good. Would consider returning. read more

Was here for the brunch. My girlfriend had baked eggs, I had bacon cheddar burger. Nice interior/ambience, good service. Burger was quite good, as were the fries. My girlfriend really enjoyed her eggs. We will come back. A little pricy, but overall good value. read more

That atmosphere on their patios are amazing, I had 2 servers that night as my friends and i came very late about 9-10 ish and left around 12. Honestly i only went their buck a shuck oyster and half off mussels back in the summer and i was not disappointed. Great food, great servers and great atmosphere definitely worth a visit! Inside is a little dark though. read more

Caesar salad is very fishy. The bacon tastes like spider hot dogs fresh off the campfire. Very unhappy.

Just had lunch for the first time today at Radius. I had researched the restaurant in advance of a planned business meeting and I was looking forward to going. The restaurant itself is very nice with a modern chic atmosphere in an area that is well on the way to being trendy. When I got there the hostess was outside digging cigarette butts out of the cracks in the sidewalk. She said she and Radius don't want potential patrons to have to bear witness to others thoughtless behaviour. Impressive. She scores 10 out of 10!! Lovely and thoughtful. The food and wine was excellent however the waiter detracted from the whole experience. His overall persona and his lack of knowledge of the regular menu, including the wine list was a bit off-putting. Not a reflection on the whole restaurant. I do plan on bringing my wife for one of the advertised 1/2 price wine Wednesdays. The thing is the wait staff is the public face of an establishment and unfortunately their behaviour dictates the likelihood of future business and if I was judging this place solely on this individual I wouldn't be coming back. Thankfully, everything else about this place more than made up for it. read more

Food is ok - tasty but nothing special, and definitely overpriced. Service is slow and not refined enough considering the price point. Patio is very nice for a drink and appies. Atmosphere and ambiance in general is quite nice. read more

This is a large restaurant/cafe with a patio area. Great for a large party. I went for brunch at this restaurant and I ordered the Mediterranean omelet and tried my friend's parfait. First, the parfait's greek yogurt was extremely fluffy and airy. I don't know if it was whipped into a mousse like texture but it was tasty, yet bland. Mixed with the fruits and nuts, it was quite tasty however a bit lack-luster considering the cost. However, I can only assume quality ingredients. Now on to my dish. I asked the waitress how many eggs were in the omelet and she told me 4-5 (I was expecting 3) but she seemed unsure. I then asked if I can get get two yolks with it. She told me I couldn't since the eggs were premixed. This seemed odd to me, but I wasn't about to argue since I was hungry. My dish came with two slices of oranges, a strawberry, home fries and the omelet. It definitely was decorated wonderfully and quite filling. However, unless for a special event I wasn't blown away by the food. read more

Good location, plenty of parking, gorgeous interior and delicious food. Had the pork chop, fingerling potatoes were tasty and sauce was scrumptious! Will definitely return next time I'm in the Hammer. Happy to see Downtown is being redone. read more

The building is beautiful and it's beautifully decorated. But the food and service was not so great. I ordered the fish and chips and was surprised by the small portion. On top of this, our server "forgot" us many times, apologizing. My friend and I felt that we were being blatantly ignored most of the time we were there. Again, beautiful place, but I'd rather eat elsewhere. read more

Hostess was rather rude when we asked if there were any openings in an empty restaurant and told us that we should make a reservation but that we were lucky they had a few openings? How? We were seated and got water and then proceed to wait for 20 minutes to not have the server come up to even ask if we were ready to order. We left so we can't speak for the quality of the food, service was horrid. We have no intentions of going back to this pretentious place again. read more

Really an excellent place for dinner. I had great service and the food was truly amazing. If you're looking for fine dinning in hamilton this is a must go. read more

Me again, OK - so Beau's is now on the menu, big thanks to Radius for that. However, I have a bone to pick - your "New Years Meal" was $100.00 a plate for 7 courses (really only 6 - how can you include a tiny bowl of ice chips as a course?) and no drinks. To me, this seemed extremely steep, and let's remember - I am a fan of this restaurant. When I got there and sat down, with the other 4 people in there, it seemed that my scepticism was not just my own. The food once again was delicious, and well presented - they had a lobster salad, but I don't care for shellfish so I passed on that course...now down to 5 courses. The server was nice, but really lacked confidence - they had brought in 3 kinds of champagne for the evening and he could not rhyme of even 1 of them. At the end of dinner, I did a calculation in my head and I came up with the dinner being worth $60 at best, my girlfriend figured $80 (she ate all my lobster). Either way, the prix fixe menu was far from a bargain. Don't forget Radius, at the end of the day, you are still in downtown Hamilton! That menu was definitely not worth the price, and I will not be back for any sort of prix fixe menu anymore. Back to the restaurant in the future? Of course! I have no complaints with the actual food, I just prefer to be able to choose what I want to eat, definitely no lobster salad for this guy (my girlfriend found it delicious though). Cheers gang, happy new year. read more

I feel really bad about writing this review, because the owner of Radius has done such a lovely job of creating a great look to his location. Nevertheless, if I had invested as much money as he has, I'd like to know why that location isn't filled with guests every meal. Firstly, the owner may consider dumping his current staff, and bringing in a new Chef. I attended at Radius with three girlfriends for brunch last month. We were all very excited about the possibility of having a new place for Sunday Brunch. What a disappointment. Sadly, the staff were more interested in talking about their partying of the night before, than providing good service. The service was slow, and the food hardly warm when we received it. The bacon tasted old, the eggs were not as ordered everything was just too cold. The food at Radius is over priced and nothing to talk about. In fact, Steve's next door offers up a better breakfast and staff that seem to enjoy their job. The service at Radius was poor and the food... well... we wont be back. Sorry, if I've hurt any feelings. I just hope that it isn't too late to save Radius. Because many of the reviews from locals are much the same as mine. : \ ( read more

I am now a regular at Radius. A great Durand district / Augusta St. restaurant. The 19th century structure has original floors and lots of exposed brick. The renovations are tasteful and compliment the heritage building. Several nice patios with high end heaters. We like the local food focus, the Niagara based wine list and the funky tap selection. The weekend brunch is always great: lots of choice and well prepared. I've had the pork chop for dinner and have a hard time ignoring it on the menu; juicy, with an Irish mustard and whiskey sauce. The calamari is nicely dusted. We like the service, efficient and friendly. This place is helping to move downtown in the right direction. read more

Had lunch there today with a friend. Had the grilled chicken sandwich with a salad. The dressing was delicious although there was nothing in the salad other than spring mix. That was a little disappointing. As for the sandwich it was tasty but a little dry. Could have used more of the yummy sauce. All in all I feel like the atmosphere was great, the food was average and the price was high. read more
