The menu featured a pre- fixed menu for $65/per person - featuring Canadian or Argentinian steaks. We were guided through the menu by Nicole, a lovely vivacious server and who is also clairvoyant!

What a great night... and a Unforgettable Dining Experience at Victoria's Steakhouse…read more From the second we walked into Victoria's Steakhouse, we knew we were in for something special. The food was outstanding, but honestly, the service and overall experience stole the show. Right away, we were welcomed with a handwritten note from the staff, which was such a thoughtful touch. It set the tone for the whole night and made us feel like more than just another table. Leah, Taylor, Nicole, and Brenden on the bar all made sure we were taken care of, and they worked together like a real team. Our main server for the night, Leah, was incredible. She checked in at just the right times, kept the drinks coming, and made sure we never felt rushed. That's something I really appreciated--the timing was perfect. We had time to sit, talk, and enjoy every course without feeling like we were being pushed out the door. That alone makes this place stand out. The Food - Top Notch wow!! We ordered a mix of appetizers, and right away, we knew we were in for a great night. The Steak Tartare was packed with flavour, really fresh, and had just the right texture. The Beet & Charred Citrus Salad was a great surprise--the burrata made it creamy, and the mix of ingredients worked perfectly together. Then came the Maryland Style Crab Cakes, and these were easily some of the best we've had. Crispy on the outside, full of real crab on the inside, with no filler, and the fennel and grilled citrus remoulade gave them a light, fresh kick. Just unreal. The Wagyu D'or Bone Marrow was something else. Super rich, buttery, and loaded with deep beefy flavour. The short rib was so tender it fell apart, and the mix of confit onions, taleggio cheese, and truffle just made it even better. Definitely a must-try if you want something packed with flavour. Then we had the Wagyu, and this was hands down one of the most incredible steaks we've ever had. We ordered 4 ounces of Japanese A5 Wagyu, and it was everything you'd expect--unbelievably tender, with insane marbling that melted like butter in your mouth. The flavour was so deep and rich, you don't even need sauce or seasoning--it just speaks for itself. Every bite had that perfect balance of fat and beefiness, giving it a texture that you really can't compare to anything else. If you're someone who loves steak, this is an experience you need to try at least once. For sides, we went with the Risotto Milanese, which was perfectly creamy with a nice saffron taste--not too overpowering, just right. The Confit Carrots with brown butter and maple were also really good, with the smoked almond crumble adding a great crunch. Even though we were stuffed, we couldn't leave without dessert. The Sticky Toffee Pudding was next-level. Warm, soft, and covered in a crazy good caramel sauce. If you're a dessert person, this is one you don't want to skip. The Cheesecake was smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet--just really well done. A great way to wrap things up. A Cool Surprise at the End After we finished eating, they invited us to see the kitchen, which was something I've never had happen in Hamilton before. It was spotless, and you could just see how much passion the kitchen staff has for what they do. It was a really cool way to end the night and just added to the overall experience. This was easily one of the best dining experiences we've had in Hamilton. The food was next-level good, but what really made the night was the service. The staff at Victoria's Steakhouse didn't just serve us--they made us feel welcome. If you're looking for a top-tier meal with amazing service, this is the place. Hands down one of the best nights out we've had in years!!

Came here to celebrate Mother's Day…read more This smart dressy dress code restaurant was very cozy and intimate. It was a wonderful atmosphere with soft instrumental music and the ability to hear the conversation of people at your table. To start, there was toasted bread with feta cheese and dill pickles. The starter salad was a huge supper entree size plate. The choice wax garden or Cesar. You could get the French Onion soup instead. Had the main Filet Peppercorn sauce. Asked for medium rare and it was amazing but it had a little much gravy for my liking. The baked potato side was a nice side (not too big) which came with butter and sour cream versus having french fries. Veggies were a few string beans, a slice of a big carrot and a piece of red sweet pepper. The plating of such fine expensive entrees was not very sophisticated. Thought it would be plated much nicer than it did. The server was very friendly and helpful. Chefs were accommodating to special requests and the food was excellent. A nice, special occasions/ celebration restaurant. It is better than a chain restaurant.

The restaurant is within a walk of the Tim Hortons Stadium and many folks were walking past in team colours. There were also patrons leaving to attend the game as we were arriving. The menu has a good selection for a variety of tastes. We were promptly seated and waited for the host of our party. The wait staff were at the ready upon our settling in. The house was not overly busy and we had up to three wait staff working with us, although one was primary with the others assisting to keep all the tables satisfied. Some of our party had appetizers which they thoroughly enjoyed. Between the four of us we had two of the day's special and two from the menu for entrees. While we were waiting we had a lovely selection of breads some of which had a duck confit on them making a nice crispy change from French stick which was included. The butter was nicely served in a perfectly softened state. All the entrees had a great presentation and we all enjoyed the meal. A couple of us continued to a dessert. These were truly enjoyed by those of us that ordered the dessert. Great flavour and presentation were appreciated. The washrooms on the same level as the restaurant. Some seating is raised above making for a semi-private space. The sole issue is the step up to the door will be difficult for some mobility issue patrons. The restaurant is not setup for a wheelchair access. We were fortunate to get a parking space right at the door. The area has paid street parking at meters or using an app. Around the corner may provide no fee parking if available.

We love the fried chicken, shrimp and pea pasta, avocado salad, spicy ribs, pickles, fish and chips. The dark chocolate tart is rich and a bit bitter - I love it. We tried the cream puff tonight and were blown away! Just when you think it couldn't get any better! Everything is delicious - you cant go wrong! We also love that we can get some of their products at Dundurn Market too. Homemade pasta, sauces, smoked fish, breads, drinks - so many special items to makes any dinner that much more delicious and special. Love supporting this amazing restaurant and team doing so much to help the community. Can't wait till we can dine-in again soon.

The dinner was a disappointment, far from the splashy ad on the internet. The brisket was tough,…read morethe back ribs dry with little meat on the bones, the pulled pork was acceptable, but the southern fried chicken drumsticks were delicious. We were told we would have two side dishes, which we assumed was per person, while it was intended for three persons. The contents of the two dishes were meager so we ordered extra. The server was very chatty and amicable and left us feeling that it was intended as a distraction. When we asked about the misleading advertising on the internet, we were told it dated back prior to COVID-19 and was no longer applicable. The Saturday dinner time attendance was low. We would not recommend this restaurant.

This quaint restaurant has historical charm and was quite busy that day with regular clientele. In days of old, tourists would stop at this roadside inn, nestled alongside the major highway 8 between Niagara and Hamilton.

The menu looks extensive and they also offer murder mysteries and entertainment so we will have to check it out again.
