    My son and I went out for dinner here. They have renovated the inside and it looks completely different and modern. It’s a nice atmosphere. The food was amazing and filling. My son ordered the hand held chicken wing sandwich with fries and turtle pasta on the side and I ordered the California cut steak medium well with tomato soup and a side Caesar salad. Very filling and tasty. The service was excellent I thought for sure we would experience a slower service because a group of 25 were seated by us however this was not the case at all. The prices were not bad considering the amount of food we got plus I had a glass of wine. The alcohol was steep (almost $18 a glass of Malbec) but I have no complaints whatsoever. Thank you for a great evening out and for the great service!!

    What a kitschy and camp local Hamilton spot! Went to the Hess village location (be warned, there are two locations so make sure you show up to the right one). It was a lovely birthday dinner and not many diners so felt very private. For vibes, think jetsons meet 1960’s dinner meets a manic pixie dream girl! Plus, free dessert for the bday girl. The food was great, highly reccomend the kimchi fries x
