My husband and I came here on a whim before a show at First Ontario Concert Hall. I'm glad we did, had a wonderful dinner and I loved the atmosphere. The waitress was run off her feet but she was still killing it.

Planned on a meal before attending Disney on Ice on a Friday afternoon.We were attending 3 pm show, arrived at George Hamilton just before 1 which was just after the previous show had let out. Waited for about 10 minutes for a table, a short lineup was evident, and it was also apparent there were a number of reservations, but a considerable number of empty tables as well.The groups throughout the restaurant were like ours, parents with children who were attending the show or who had just attended. To expedite the process we placed our entire order for our table all at once just after we were seated at 1.What we thought would be quick to make (deep fried chicken sandwiches, tenders, and a burger) were not at all quick. By the time 2:30 rolled around we had not had a plate of food and many tables around us wee were waiting for food as well. To avoid a full meltdown of our children one in our party ran to a nearby A&W so we would have something to eat before the show.As we had a view of the kitchen it seemed like there were major issues with time management. Staff seemed to be waiting to finish making one dish/plate before starting another. This left a number of people frustrated throughout the restaurant, and many people without food, or left to be scrambling to shovel food in before the show.The only saving grace for the meal was our server who was also the hostess who was trying her best to keep her composure and cool despite the kitchen not being able to maintain service. For lunch time on a Friday, with shows across the street, it was a major disappointment of a meal.

If I could give this place less than 1 star I would. Went in today on an “event” day. Disney on ice was in town. Came by afterwards for a bite to eat for lunch. Waited 25 minutes at the door to sit down. Came in was told the kitchen was busy so we couldn’t order food just yet. Fine. Put an order in for an app and kids meal as soon as we could. We then ordered 2 salads and a butter chicken dish. Waited 60 minutes for a kids cheese pizza and almost 2 hours for the rest of the meals. I then asked to speak to the manager who told us a “hotel” discount was all we could receive and that she would have finished making our meals if I didn’t ask to speak with her. They raise the prices on “event” days so already I was paying nearly $25 for a Caesar salad with grilled chicken. Needless to say I was furious and walked out. I am now writing this in the car after not eating a meal because I refuse to give that place any of my hard earned money when I received no respect or consideration for waiting that long. There should not be an increase in prices when you can’t keep up with the 2 tables that were left waiting for food before I walked out. Im sorry but based on other reviews this place deserves to be shut down. Which is a shame because it had good vibes and our server was kind.

Our waitress was super nice and very accomidating. The food left alot to be desired. We both had chicken tenders and fries. The chicken tenders were hard on the outside (not crispy, hard!) and dry on the inside. Terrible. Like the were left under warming light for a long time, so they dried out. Fries were ok. The apple blossom and deep fried cheese cake desserts were really good I have to say. The meal was $100.00 and as far as I am concerned was worth maybe 40.00 tops. Needless to say we won't be back. I don't suggest eating here.

We stumbled upon this place for a late dinner while staying at a nearby hotel. Food was your typical pub grub, but it was delicious and the menu had a nice variety. The server was extremely busy but still friendly and attentive. It happened to be karaoke night and we had a blast watching and cheering on the local entertainment!
We arrived 90 minutes before a local event. We were lucky to be seated within 10 minutes of our arrival. We gave our food orders in a timely matter.That's when it all went downhill.We were a table of 2. Beside us was a table of 4 that were seated within minutes of us. Beside them was a table of 8 that was seated after us. It was a LONG wait for food!! We didn't get our for until about 75 minutes after ordering. As I watched around the restaurant, I noticed that the table of 8 was served and getting ready to depart and we haven't even seen a glimpse of our food. The server was busy and at one point she apologized for the delay and said she would go check on the status of our meal. She never returned and updated us. This was the only time she checked in with us until our meals arrived.It was now 20 minutes before our event was to start and still no sign of food. I was at the point where I was going to cancel my order and settle up for the beer I purchased and just waiting for the server to return. When she finally returned, it was with our meals. We had 15 minutes to consume our food and get out of there.I ordered the double patty burger with fries. When it was served, the two patty's were cooked beyond anything I have ever seen. Overcooked and DRY, DRY, DRY!! The fries didn't have much to them either. It was pretty evident that they don't change the grease in their frier very often as the fries came out almost as dark as the burgers. I should have sent the entire meal back, but I was so friggin' hungry after waiting over an hour that I just had to eat.The table of 4 beside us were served minutes before us and they crammed what they could down before leaving with plates half consumed. They were going to the same event as us.All in all, we chose this restaurant because of the high rating from reviews. This was far from what we expected. What I could see was they were understaffed with servers, understaffed in the kitchen (I could only see 2 people working the kitchen) and their kitchen staff totally lacking the experience to keep up with the number orders, yet alone prepare decent quality meals. Having a direct view into the kitchen from my seat, I could often see main cook having pleasant conversations with the servers while meal tickets were more than likely piling up in the que.I would not return nor recommend this restaurant to anyone. The reviews are too complementary from my experience. Needless to say we were late arriving to our event.

Beers look good, cooking is hot garbage. I am 99% sure that nobody in that kitchen washes their hands. The way that they pay suggests some form of tax evasion. Avoid.
