Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Hamilton

Have been to Gertrude's a few times and it has always been enjoyable. This visit was, as expected, just as memorable. The original cocktail was interesting and wonderfully flavorful. The other classic cocktail was expertly mixed and was like a visit from an old friend. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. What really made the night complete was the charming and helpful server, Grace. No matter how good food and drink is, a restaurant either succeeds or fails based on the quality of the service. Fortunately, this restaurant has staff as lovely and accommodating as Grace. Thank you all for a wonderful birthday dinner.

Miss Toya’s is the best place i’ve been to in a long time, the place is aesthetically pleasing but the food matches and so does the service. Everyone was so nice and I had a mini surprise gender reveal for my partner and I and they made it so special. Everyone was fantastic like if I could tip the entire staff I would. But it’s definitely worth it and I will be back!

Service and food are impeccable! Albert was extremely knowledgeable and attentive!

Delicious salad w baby tomatoes, ricotta, pine nuts, and red leaf lettuce and excellent wild mushroom risotto. Yummy dessert - little fried doughballs, very light and tasty. Attentive and friendly service, with good suggestions when asked. Came for late ish lunch on Sunday and ate in pleasant dining room with stone walls and wooden benches. We usually have dined on the patio, which is also pleasant when it’s not too cold. A favorite place for us.

Excellent spot with great food. Not overly crowded or loud. Very good service as well. Large portion sizes. Highly recommend.
