Overall we enjoyed our meal. A couple flaws in the way some of the meat was cooked (rare) that staff was happy to correct. We... felt the prices were quite reasonable for both food and drink. If I were to visit again I would order a simple steak dinnercooked medium. The sides that came with it were delicious. Read more

Husband and I moved in nearby and have been meaning to check this place out. We were the first couple of the evening and the... restaurant was very cute and cozy. We ordered the calamari, seafood chowders and the chicken parmigiana and seafood linguine. Wedidn?t know about the bread basket (with the delicious cheese biscuits) so by the time we had the bread, calamari and ourseafood chowders we were almost full. This is a testament to their very generous portions. The seafood chowder was the superstarof the evening. So chunky and hearty. Our mains were absolutely delicious, portions were respectable and whatever we couldn?tget through - our waiter had kindly wrapped for us in a to go box. Leftovers were just as good reheated!!! By the time we wereready to leave, the restaurant became a lot more lively with what looked like dedicated regulars. Definitely will be making thisa spot for date nights. Read more
Quaint and quiet little steakhouse nestled on Barton St. The inside of the steakhouse, mostly adorned with pear imagery and a... startling lack of purple, was well maintained if a bit dated. The internal atmosphere, intimately lit with candles aroundvintage wooden furniture gives a cozy vibe immediately that is fortified moreso by the owner and servers attention todetail. While active on the floor the owner was helpful and insightful on the menu while maintaining his charismatic andwelcoming demeanor throughout the whole night. The filet was well cooked at rare and was served alongside roughages and agarlic mash. The bacon paired with the filet could have been cooked more and as such had a slight rubbery texture. The housewhite was good while the house red received good reception from the whole table. All in all, a great experience that helped togrant a better idea of why this competent restaurant has lasted long enough to be a Hamilton staple. Read more
