    Our annual Christmas get together was beautiful today and enjoyed by the whole family including our grandchildren (3&6) food was delicious as usual and Michelle looked after us with a smile and attention. The other servers were also very helpful when she was busy, even getting a New Years hug from the littlest one! Thanks for a wonderful afternoon Ancaster Mill🥰

    It's always a real treat to come to Rapscallion, as it's my favourite restaurant in the city. The staff went above and beyond for my partner's birthday, and everyone was so warm and inviting. Your host at the door is always always my favourite person who's smiling face and attention to detail is second to absolutely NONE in the Hammer. I was gifted a copy of your recipe book that I've been coveting, because the food at Rap is beyond delicious - as both a French and Italian immigrant, the flavours truly remind me of home, and also appreciate the extensive mocktail and non-alcoholic beverage selections, as that's always a disappointing part missing from so many experiences dining out. I really love you guys. I keep coming back again and again throughout the years because you make the every day extraordinary, and there's none that compare to the quality of food and service, the atmosphere and beautiful vibes, anywhere in the Hamilton area. Super grateful for all of you - HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!
