As someone who has worked in the kitchen there all I'll say is this... If you "valued customers" so they say... Saw the kitchen and the prep area.. unlabeled containers no date or product info. Unsafe storage of food. Cooked meats next to raw and meat just sitting openly unwrapped in the fridge. Meat being marinated in open top bins or just a thin piece of plastic wrap poorly covering container's sitting on the ground in the walk in fridge not even raised on milk crates. (The mice are more then pleased about this) Chicken being processed already starting to spoil (giving off rotten egg smell). The beef grilled cheese sometimes the meat is being served past a week and a half old I had to hold my breath when ever I dealt with either. Poor management and it's clear it flows to the kitchen. I could keep going on but the list would be endless. O one more thing. Soups instead of tossing the last unused portion they will serve it till it is gone bad or not. (Heat kills everything right? Ahh hech let's serve the last 2 litres of the week and a half old soup) If they think it's okay they will just add new ingredients to the old and call it the soup of the day. Misleading... it's the soup from last week that we added ingredients to today. You make your judgement. The only time I ever ate anything from there was when my hands prepared it fresh otherwise I was weary being that the majority of things are unlabeled. Customers deserve to know their food is being prepared proper right from the start using proper protocol which is definately not the case. You all have the right to inquire and even see where and how your food is being prepared. Ask for a tour of the kitchen and fridges no need to go down to the prep hall seeing as the front of house kitchen will be a good indicator of how poor a state the downstairs is aswell. It's alot worse downstairs.

Been here about five times over the last year and it does not disappoint. Great food, service and atmosphere! We bring all of our out-of-town friends here when they visit and it’s always a hit. Highly recommend.Dinner last night served by Gage was lovely. Entire service staff is great.Vegetarian options: Delicious vegetarian options. Risotto in particular.

The entire staff at The Aberdeen Tavern should be very proud of their restaurant. We had a terrific meal here for our anniversary and they knocked it out of the park! It started when we walked in the door and were welcomed right away. The tableside service was terrific and the food was elevated and delicious and the chef should be commended. Thank you The Aberdeen Tavern for taking part in our evening and we will definitely be back!P.S. This was our first visit

Being new to Hamilton I found this place after work one day.The people, food and atmosphere are so amazing we decided to have our wedding reception there. Brian is a king, the chefs are top notch and the management couldn't be more helpful.Their crab cakes a phenomenal but so is everything else in the menu. Would recommend 100% for a easy drink or a main event.

Beautiful restaurant and great atmosphere. Music wasn’t blasting, perfect for a romantic evening or time together with family or close friends.My wife and I shared the duck special, medium rare, skin was perfectly crispy and fatty, delightful.Also had the squash risotto which was very good, right amount of cheese. It was a little undercooked but still wonderful.For dessert we had the carrot cake which was moist and the chocolate crème brûlée which was a first. Loved it all. Will be back again.Had the red blend for wine and a special tequila peach schnapps. Both were enjoyed.

This restaurant is absolutely incredible.Finding parking is a tad difficult but so worth it for an evening in this gorgeous restaurant.They have a small menu with a little bit of everything - and I definitely recommend that you try it ALL! After going there for the first time, I quickly returned a week later with my family for them to experience as well. The restaurant itself is very cozy and the staff are so kind and personable.I recommend you try: the Braised Beef Grilled Cheese Bites, Truffle Fries, Pork Chop, Duck Confit, and the cocktails are all delicious!!!

? Tao's Google Restaurant Reviews ?Great ambiance inside, very old school and sophisticated for a brunch place rather than the newer hip and modern brunch restaurants popping up. This restaurant does its classics very well. We got the smashed burger and the eggs benedict with home fries and they hit the spot! Pricing was a bit on the higher end for classic brunch items but the service was great and worth it.?Food: 4.5/5?‍??FINAL SCORE 4.5/5Parking: Rexall beside has a lot, also Street parking.

Exceptional dining and overall experience! Jenna our server was fantastic. She covered all the bases with impeccable timing and a smile. Our food was remarkable. Spaghetti carbonara was the best I have ever had as was the calamari. Filet mignon meal was done to perfection. The atmosphere is chic with a warm buzz of noise and activity. This is a gem of a restaurant that you really must try. Well done Aberdeen Tavern!!

As I'm not someone who frequents Hamilton's fancier restaurants, Aberdeen Tavern was an excellent introduction!I had visited on a holiday so I believe the menu worked a bit differently but overall an amazing night. Here are some highlights;The quality of produce was exceptional. Specifically, my family and I are avid mushroom pickers (kind of odd I know, but we are Eastern European) and the mushroom ricotta dumplings had me reminiscing of being a kid and having the entire kitchen smell like fresh wild mushrooms.Of course, the food was generally of amazing quality. I'm no culinary expert but every part of every dish was so complimentary. Nothing was ever too much or too little!The service was so satisfying, not overwhelming but consistently warm and considerate. + love the outfits!The timing of the dishes was amazing! Nothing took longer than expected, nor did anything feel rushed.ABOVE ALL, I was so surprised to feel absolutely FULL by the end of it. Namely, the holiday had a prix fixe menu and so I was slightly worried about possibly not getting satiated by the end of the four courses. Thankfully, that was not at all an issue. Every dish was so perfectly sized!I highly recommend visiting Aberdeen Tavern and I most definitely plan on visiting their other locations/chain restaurants.Vegetarian options: Wide variety of options even for a holiday menu! Pleasantly surprised.Parking: A good amount of space, even on a busy holiday the area had enough spots. Furthermore, there is always street parking which would've worked fine, but it's always nice to see a free parking lot!
