“it was mine and my girlfriends first time at a moxies restaurant. We had delicious food, it was a great atmosphere and music, and also had a great server named Ryan. One thing that I noticed was that he came to check on us multiple times to make sure everything was ok with our food, in which is not done at many other places. It showed that he cared about our experience and made it very pleasurable. His customer service was number 1.”

“This was some of the best ramen that I have had. The atmosphere was great, however the place is a little cold as it is winter. The highlight of my experience was the awesome service since we were seated right away, our orders were taken quickly, and the food was produced promptly. The staff made sure that we were happy with our food. Out of 10 I would give this place a solid 8.7.”

“Tried Apllada last evening…5 Stars for sure BEST GREEK FOOD EVER!!! Fresh, authentic, homemade, flavourful and a dining experience! The restaurant was cozy and welcoming. The owners - (one, our chef who is certainly a master of Greek cuisine) and the other (our host who was welcoming and informative) Highly recommended! Will definitely be back…”
“Took my 4 year old here for a P.A. day from school and he loved it. he has been asking to go back ever since. we played some great games, got some DND dice at a sweet price and a few miniatures to paint together at home. He enjoyed the milk and oreos and I the cold brews. Awesome place filled with awesome people, awesome games, awesome goodies, and sweet deals. Overall AWESOME! Thank you guys for doing what you do for the gaming community.”
“I usually don’t write reviews, but my experience was so wonderful that I had to give 5 stars. I planned a brunch for myself and 5 friends, and from the moment we walked in, the vibe of the place was beautiful. From the good food to the set up of the chairs and cutlery, everything was so well done! The service was great as the staff were very friendly, accommodating, and patient. We were also able to have a great conversation since our spot was quite private and it wasn’t loud in the restaurant. Overall, this was a great experience and we can’t wait till our next ladies brunch!”

Indonesian • $
“When I found out about Indonesian’s Flavour I was a bit hesitant but I tried their food and was surprised and happy that I did not have to travel far such as to Mississauga or Toronto to eat satay , nasi goreng or rendang , etc . It is all in the Hammer /Farmer’s market . Hamilton is lucky to have Indonesian cuisine , which can come to you mild or really spicy . …You just have to ask . Now if we can only ask them to get a bigger restaurant with lots of chairs and tables for a truly good and yummy dining experience !”

He was attentive, welcoming, and always checked in at the right times without ever rushing us. His friendliness and professionalism really added to the atmosphere and let us just enjoy our night.
The food was excellent — the steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavour, and everything else we ordered came out fresh and beautifully prepared. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Undefined is a true gem in downtown Hamilton! From the moment we walked in, the welcoming staff made us feel at home. Mary Karger, the General Manager, sets the tone for an exceptional dining experience. Chef Chris and Sous Chef Bryant's culinary expertise shines through in every dish. And Amanda, our bartender, crafted cocktails with fresh, high-quality ingredients that were simply delightful. The menu boasts diverse, locally sourced, and seasonal offerings that cater to various tastes. We loved the share plates, particularly the Whipped Feta & Roasted Plum and "Pad Thai" Fries. Each bite was a masterclass in flavours and textures. The Daily Oysters were expertly prepared, with a perfect balance of horseradish, Sriracha, and rhubarb-cucumber mignonette. Presentation was stunning, and the taste profiles matched the descriptions precisely. Whether you're dining solo, on a date, or with friends before a show, Undefined is the perfect spot. Its premium downtown location makes it easily accessible to many amenities. Kudos to the entire team – 5 stars well-deserved! We'll be back soon.”

“When you first arrive, Etno Bar & Grill might look like just an ordinary restaurant tucked away in a small mall—but don’t be fooled. OMG—step inside and you’ll be blown away!
We ordered the meat platter, which easily serves 2–3 people, and it was absolutely phenomenal. Juicy, perfectly grilled meats packed with flavor. We paired it with a side salad and pita bread with their house-made spreadable cheese—creamy, tangy, and addictive!
Every bite was delicious, and the portions are generous. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this place is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommend!”

“Yesterday evening, I visited the drive-thru after 6 PM and noticed that one team member appeared to be handling both taking orders and managing the window. Despite being busy, he remained calm and professional. I noticed his name tag said “Ayush,” and I politely asked him if he could personally prepare my simple cheese pizza.
He smiled without any sign of frustration and kindly agreed, saying, “I will make it for you.” While other staff members were engaged in conversation, Ayush took full responsibility and ensured everything was done properly.
The pizza he made was excellent, and I truly appreciate his dedication and customer service. He is an outstanding team member and I will come next time for sure to take this kind of service from him.”

“The food, staff, decor and everything else about this place is fantastic. Brought a big group of friends (even my 13yo niece) and everyone loved the food and had a great time. We will definitely be going here again next time we are in the Hamilton area.”
“edit thank you for your thoughtful reply. i have amended your review score to reflect that i am genuinely appreciative of your efforts to accommodate my dietary needs. contrary to popular opinion vegans are like anyone else. we dont like wasting the staff's time and if we dont like what they see they will go somewhere else. as someone who has spent hours online trying to find the best plant based curry in hamilton i guarantee that making vegan options more visible online and on your menu more business your way will come.
i must make it clear i was never critical of the staff member taking the order. they were excellent.
i will be back. :-)”

The sweetness of the desserts is perfectly balanced—not too much. As for their service, it's excellent. The staff welcome you with a smile, offer you a piece of sweetness, and serve you quickly.”
Coffee Shops • $
“Really love this cafe! The space is super aesthetically pleasing and has such a great vibe to hang out or get some work done. Their coffee, matcha, and hojicha are all delicious, (one of the best matcha places in Hamilton) and they also have pastries that look amazing (though I haven’t tried them yet). Only thing I wish is that they offered different drink sizes because i’d definitely want a large matcha latte 😌 but overall it’s definitely a spot I’d recommend.”

With everything that the restaurant industry has been through this year, I went in there today with my daughter for a drink and some cookies. They were so friendly and said they wanted to give my daughter her treat for free. I have been fortunate enough to have not lost my job or taken a pay cut this year. I insisted on paying because I appreciate local business. Good on you for showing your true character and commitment to your customers. And thank you for taking my order ...it is far from the last.”

“I hosted a surprise party for my mom and needed catering done for approx 50 ppl. I spoke with Greek Palace and decided on ordering 5 grill platters (I maybe saying the menu item wrong). He did say that it will be alot of food and HE WAS NOT LYING. There was so much food for the event we were happy to tell guests to take food home. Everyone at the party loved it, potatoes, rice, chicken, pork and gyro meat was so delicious. I'd definitely recommend to my friends and family to get some food from Greek Palace for any future gatherings or dinners. Thank you guys for doing such an amazing job for us. I'd order from you again in heartbeat.”

“Food was very subpar. the garlic loaf was cold, the soup luke warm, and the chicken fingers for $21 were coated in an oil based sauce that you could not see or taste. Asked for sauce to dip and it was mostly oil mixed with a hot sauce. Yellow Currie was ok but very bland in taste. stack quesadilla was luke warm did not come with sour crème or pico de gala. it had been a long time since we had been here and it looks like it will be even longer before we ever go back. I can say that the servers were pleasant and apologetic for what came out of the kitchen.”

For mains, my husband had the Aji De Gallina and I had Sudado de Pescado. I didn’t want any rice and was given the option of asparagus instead. The fish and asparagus were both cooked to perfection. My husband loved the chicken and enjoyed the fried cassava so much he asked for an order to take home. Portion sizes are generous. Looking forward to returning!”

Pizza • $$
“The service here was good. Waitresses were friendly and gave us complimentary bread while we waited for our food. The bread was rather mid tier- but free bread is free bread. We ordered the stuffed pizza, which is the Chicago style pizza. It takes 30mins- 45mins for them to make, so keep that in mind if that's what you're coming here for. The pizza was solid, although a little basic. (Probably because we just got one with cheese and sauce). Not sure how it compares to other Chicago style pizza, but still quite delicious.”
Canadian • $$
“We had supper at this location last evening with my husband’s two daughters and one our granddaughters, her boyfriend and our son-in-law. Andrew was our excellent server who was pleasant and friendly despite having worked all day. He was very attentive and saw to all our requests in a timely manner. He organized individual bills accurately and everything came as ordered. He is an excellent member of your staff, and we hope to be served by him at our next visit!!”

“Great place!!! Great staff, always kind and friendly! Delicious food and Tofu was amazing!! Some people who write negative reviews clearly have some personal agenda, objectively they need to realize the world doesn’t revolve around them lol many point fingers at Japanese culture too, that’s just so odd. Don’t confuse politeness with ignoring you, some people expect a whole red carpet treatment.like just chill and enjoy the food! They are kind owners doing their best”

“As the biggest of karaoke enthusiasts, my partner and I checked out Dat Cang Karaoke on Concession, for our date night out. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves singing karaoke to our hearts content. The staff was lovely and courteous, quick to respond to needs, and curious about our feedback as they are newly open and licensed. They also let us know that this was the first Wednesday night open for karaoke so it was especially nice to sneak in unanticipated and the only singers in the club. We both were impressed with their host system, sound quality, and especially stage lighting - it felt welcoming to sing in a space built with obvious care. There's plenty of comfortable seating arranged in groupings that enable you to sing from your seat or take the stage if desired. We did both and enjoyed the comfort of feeling like singing at home but in a lovely and well-tended space. The karaoke system is far superior to most currently used in North America. having myself been a karaoke host and a world champion of karaoke competition, I feel confident in saying that this is a program that is far more accessible to worldwide karaoke options in multiple no languages. I was really impressed with its accessibility and performance and also impressed with the sound quality which was definitely above standard.

“If you’re looking for a little slice of Italy in Hamilton, let me save you the trouble , The Express Italian Eatery is it. From the moment you step inside, you feel like you’ve been welcomed into a family kitchen rather than a restaurant. The atmosphere is warm, the staff are genuinely passionate, and then… the food arrives, and you realize you’ve struck gold.
The Calzone alone deserves its own standing ovation. Golden, perfectly baked, with that irresistible balance of crisp outside and soft, cheesy goodness inside, it’s the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes for a moment just to take it all in. The pasta? Forget what you think you know about pasta. Every bite is fresh, rich, and bursting with the kind of authentic flavor that can only come from a kitchen that knows and loves real Italian cooking.
Every single plate that comes out feels like a love letter to Italy. Whether you’re diving into the pasta, tearing into that calzone, or sampling one of their other creations, there’s this unmistakable feeling that you’re tasting something made with heart, tradition, and a touch of Italy ! Thank you everyone and especially to Natasha for her incredible service and making us feel like part of the family.”

I also tried the mango smoothie 🥭 and the lychee lime soda 🍹 — both were amazing. The drinks were refreshing and full of flavor. I loved the little touches too, like the pickled garlic 🧄 they brought out, which I had never tried before but absolutely loved. The pickled peppers 🌶️ were super hot but packed with flavor and went perfectly with the pho.
The lady who served us was so kind and welcoming, and she even let us stay after closing so we could finish our meal 🙏.

“Layal and team, I can't thank you enough for the impeccable and friendly service that you and your team provided to my daughter's wedding. The food was amazing... in fact, several people commented to me that it was the best food that they had ever been served at a wedding. I couldn't agree more! As someone whose career took her to many rubber chicken dinner events, I know how remarkable it is to be served really good food at a large banquet....and it is even more remarkable that you were able to do this in the middle of a major snowstorm. As the mother of the bride, I really appreciated the warmth and friendly consideration that you showed to my daughter both in the planning and delivery of her wedding meal. You are five-star in my book!!”

We ate at Baci for the first time last night and we had the pepperoni and margarita pizza. Honestly it’s some of the best pizza I may have ever had.

“Our family ordered 3 trays of lasagna, a Greek salad and 1 1/2 garden salad for a Celebration of Life. We had this all delivered. The food was delicious! The lasagnas were hot with lots of meat, pasta and sauce and the salads were fresh with lots of vegetables & dressing that we added ourselves to our taste. The Greek salad was exceptional & we would order only that in the future. Len & Lester were wonderful to deal with & extremely patient & helpful, answering all my questions. Our delivery person was very friendly & set things up for us perfectly. We had no complaints during a very stressful time and would order from them again with no hesitation.”

“So disappointed this last time I went to Hutch's. I ordered a large fish and chips and both pieces were barely the size of what one piece used to be. I always got a large because I would only ever eat one piece and bring the other home for lunch the next day but not anymore. Both pieced fit on the plate and were covered with fries you couldn't even see the fish and trust me there wasn't as many fries either. Definitely not worth 18 bucks anymore. not saying I won't go back but it won't be as often as I used to. I am going to start looking for another place to get my fish and chips.”
