    Staff was super friendly and kept us very well topped up on our drinks :) Had the tasting menu and it was a beautiful night. My entree was Mushroom Dumplings, and it was probably the best in Hamilton. For mains we had, the Rainbow Trout, which was delicious and filling. Desserts were amazingly presented and the perfect end to the night, will definitely be back in the future!

    Berkeley North was recommended to us by a few people since we were coming to Hamilton. To say that it was delicious would be an understatement. The gnocchi was the best gnocchi I’ve ever had.

    Exceeded our expectations! We started our meal with cocktails (Mystical Portal) and (Hot Lovers). The cocktails were on point and the appetizer was tasty and plenty for both of us. I had the Rainbow Trout and the gnocchi and my wife opted for the steak frites. I don’t recall having a better trout or gnocchi. Absolutely exquisite! The steak was perfect. This restaurant was excellent and not surprised that it’s a Bib Gourmand.

    Absolutely fantastic cocktails, food, wine, and service. We went for the "Taste of BN" and were blown away, it was a perfect 5 course meal. Every single dish was outstanding.

    Good atmosphere. Nice selection of food and drinks. Wished they had noted the chocolate dessert was gluten free and vegan otherwise we wouldn’t have ordered it.

    Great Food, Great Experience. We had the BN salad which was amazing, the teriyaki eggplant was great too and the steak and frites was just PERFECT. For drinks, I had the Bitter Symphony and my wife had the Purple Sparkle which both tasted amazing. Recommended!

    Our experience was very enjoyable. Service was attentive and swift. Questions were answered as asked. Food was tasty, plentiful and enjoyable. I chose a hand held, fried chicken sandwich. It was good but messy to eat. My guest thoroughly enjoyed the tuna poke bowl and would order it again. We shared a chocolate cake dessert with marshmallow cream. It was beautifully presented but the flavour underwhelmed. I would not choose it again.

    Cool location and atmosphere. Excellent food and wines. Impeccable service. My wife and I celebrated our 26th anniversary here and Berkeley North was the perfect setting.
