Restaurants near Rosedale Arena

First time here and wonder how we never found it before. Party of 4 shared appetizers. Amazing flavours in the food and some unique and very good cocktails. Quiet atmosphere despite being busy. and well chosen background music. Loved the decor Shout out to our server Arya who found us a great bottle of Riesling off the wine menu and really knew her stuff. Now our favourite restaurant in Hamilton (and we think GTA) - looking forward to being back soon - maybe the Beatles brunch!

I booked a reservation to seat 12 people for Saturday brunch/ lunch to celebrate 2 individuals in our family party who were having birthdays. The staff were ready for us upon our arrival. When we arrived, we asked that they move us from the large table that had stools to a few tables that could be pushed together because they had chairs with backs to them. This was important since a number of us were older and did not feel we could be comfortable sitting on the stools. Furthermore, the space on the top of the stool where we were expected to sit was incredibly small and uncomfortable. The staff were quick to accommodate us and set up the formation of the tables and chairs to our liking. At first, I was concerned about what the noise level would be once the restaurant had more guests as the music was already loud when we arrived, and, as there are only hard surfaces and a brick wall, sound tends to reverberate in the room. It turned out to be manageable, but if you are looking for a quiet spot where you can readily hear conversations, The Mule may not be your spot. On the plus side, there is so much creativity put into the non-alcoholic drinks and the food that your taste buds will NOT be disappointed. Some of us ordered items from the brunch menu and some of us ordered from the lunch menu -mainly tacos. Everything tasted incredible. Our two birthday individuals ordered dessert and our wait staff placed a lit candle in each to make their day more festive. And the service was EXCELLENT. The staff were attentive without being intrusive and took our last minute order changes and our requests for this and that, in stride. It is such a pleasure to experience such professional wait staff in action. Thank you to The Mule for making this family celebration so enjoyable!

We did the chefs table tonight and it was the best night ever. The food was absolutely amazing and sitting right by the open kitchen was fun. Our server, Ryan, was a standout. he was the best! he made our experience amazing. Great way to spend our anniversary.

Our Top Sirloin steak was done just right with the twice baked potato and healthy vegetables. Beets and green beans. The bread is so good when it is served very warm . The waiter was very nice and looked after us very well. The Billy Miner pie topped off our meal with the great flavour. Overall a great satisfying meal. Thanks to all at the Keg who work so hard for our Supper and dessert . We shall return.

Our first experience at this location, and it was great or a family gathering of 9 people. My only comment would be on the prices. I would say they are on the high side, across the board by about 15 to 20%.
