Stelco Bar Mill pensioners recently held our final reunion at the Venetian Club in Hamilton. It was…read morean organized event but the staff at the Club arranged everything, including the Bar, a superb Buffet, set up and clean-up. Our committee did not have to do anything - everything was provided for. The manager, Elaine - was the consumate professional - she personally attended to our needs and concerns - however minor. Everything worked out better than expected - the food was great there was plenty of staff and it turned out to be a very successful and memorable evening - thanks to the wonderful staff and manager Elaine. I would highly recommend this venue for a dinner, wedding or gathering any time. Stephen Lechniak.

I went in at noon for lunch. The place was buzzing with people, the talk was loud, but the music…read morewas not. Just your typical crowd. I waited to be seated and the front staff were very nice. I wanted to be by the fire and they accommodated me. I ordered a coffee, and mild barbeque buffalo wings. It came with french fries, gravy, blue cheese, and carrots and celery. I waited about 15 minutes, maybe 20 and my order came out. The waitress was so nice and polite. The coffee was amazing, because I have so much bad coffee when I go out, it stood out for me. The chicken wings were big and very meaty. The sauce was really good. The french fries were skin on, but not wedges. The gravy was very good and the blue cheese dressing was mild. The waitress came to check in on me three times while I was there and was pleasant each time and I was very happy with the service. The establishment was clean. Everyone seemed to be very busy. It was a very pleasant lunch. My lunch including the coffees and 20% tip was $23 . I would definitely come here again.

Sadly, after reading so many good things about Ye Olde Squire on Fennell we hit a really bad experience when we decided to try it. We went for the last Stanley Cup hockey game and even reserved because we thought that it would be great. The food was good but the service was unacceptable. I ordered a Virgin Mary because I do not consume fish, and when I flagged the server down because something tasted off, I asked her to check what juice it was. 20 minutes later, at least, I had to flag her down again. She said that she was so busy that she hadn't checked. When I went to the Bar the bartender said it was a Caesar. We had mentioned we had stressed that I did not eat fish products, and the Bartender's reaction was most uncaring. Her only response was that she could remake it for me, and it was said in a way that I told her to just take it off the bill. She told me that she wasn't sure that they would do that and that I had to get approval from the manager, (who was the server) and brushed me away. She apologized and stressed that she had order it correctly and that the Bartender had made the mistake. I stressed how dangerous this could be if people had allergies. She gave a one word 'sorry' several times, in a manner that did not impress me. She took it off the bill, but the accidental plugged an extra $20 onto the bill. Again, one word 'sorry'. I left a message for the Restaurant manager to phone (who was off for 2 days and to his benefit called me back). He seemed sincere and asked for two days to get back to me so that he could talk to these two ladies. Now it's way past that deadline and there is no phone call. I never write a negative review without giving the manager an opportunity to make things right. AVOID SQUIRES if you have any food sensitivities, allergies or preferences. For us it could be bad, for others dangerous.

We are so happy and also so sad to be writing this review because this means our wedding is over!…read moreFrom the moment we heard about an all-inclusive type venue in a neighbouring city, to the first meeting, all the way up to the last hour of the wedding, we had a fabulous time and amazing service. The Atrium really does deliver on a "stress-free" wedding package. Some of our favourite parts of the process: -working with Kylie, Alex, and Tanner to make sure every detail was unique and perfect -the AMAZING drinks and friendly service from the mixologist, Patrick -having original signature drinks that our guests LOVED -the out-of-this world anti-pasto buffet, 4-course dinner, dessert display, and the late-night live-pierogi station in addition to the late night food -the 4-tier cake that was included in the package and made in-house -the beautiful venue (especially the patio and the bridal suite) -the recommendation for our wedding photographer, Moussa (FotoReflection) -the small touches like the pianist and wonderfully decorated backdrop -the shuttle service to the hotel and the service received at the Hilton Garden Inn Did I mention how good the food was? We had a lot of guests with dietary restrictions and Alex was able to accommodate it all. This is especially impressive when catering to a large Italian family. We felt like we didn't have to "plan" for anything because the Atrium truly took care of all of the important things. This was amazing throughout the last two years due to all of the COVID concerns. They always kept us in the loop, celebrated with us when we were able to have our food and cake tasting, and really did deliver on a safe and fun wedding. I have no regrets choosing the Atrium for the best event of my life and we are so happy that we had no challenges that whole day. I can't wait to have my next event, or even better, be able to attend someone else's wedding there! Looking forward to continue being a part of the Atrium family. Olivia & Erik

Several other issues but this one hurt the most.

We booked a birthday party here for 11 children during an extreme heat wave, only to arrive and…read morediscover there was no air conditioning. We later learned the AC had reportedly been out of service for about two weeks, yet no one contacted us in advance to let us know or offer the option to reschedule. Had we known, we never would have brought a group of children into those conditions. An Orange Heat Alert was in effect, and both children and adults became overheated. Some showed signs of heat exhaustion, and the kids were struggling to participate. Instead of enjoying their birthday, they left sweaty and disappointed. To make matters worse, the staff member assigned to our party was called away to a lengthy staff meeting while we were the only party there. We struggled to get water refills when they were most needed. Mara was helpful whenever she was available, but overall the staff seemed unprepared, and no manager came to check on our group or address the situation. What was most disappointing wasn't just the broken AC--it was how the situation was handled. There was no advance warning, no apology from the GM, no effort to mitigate the conditions with fans, complimentary cold drinks, arcade passes, or any other accommodation. Customer safety and satisfaction should have been the priority. We paid a hefty price for a memorable birthday celebration and instead experienced an unsafe and deeply disappointing afternoon. I hope management takes responsibility for how this was handled so other families don't have the same experience.

Ancaster Mill located along Old Dundas Rd. near Millcreek Ct. in Hamilton is a scenic creek side…read morerestaurant in a restored mill which serves up farm to table fare. The property also does events like weddings as well. The restaurant is open for lunch, dinner, as well as a Sunday buffet brunch. They also sometimes do special holiday and chef exclusive fixed menus as well. Parking is available onsite as well as valet parking as well. I recently dined at Ancaster Mill for their Sunday buffet brunch. Price wise, the buffet is $77 per person where it is half price for children aged 5-12. You do get a time limit of 2 hours. Reservations are a must if you decide to go dine for brunch as it gets quite busy! During brunch service, our server mentioned to us that the restaurant often sees up to 400 guests come and go to dine at their brunch! The vibes of the restaurant are relaxing and tranquil, reflecting the property it is in. Upon arrival at Ancaster Mill, there are 2 parking lots you are able to park at. Once entering the restaurant, you check in with the host where you are brought to your table. Even with a reservation you may have to wait a few minutes for your table to be ready. Once we sat down, our server explained the brunch to us and mentioned that if we wanted to order any unlimited beverages such as mimosas, sparkling wine, caesars, juices, teas and coffees, we would have to let her know. In terms of the layout of the buffet, seating and the buffet stations are scattered throughout 2-3 different rooms. Food stations included: - Seafood station (freshly shucked oysters, king crab, shrimp, smoked salmon, mussels) - Carvery station (prime rib, short rib, etc., but meats may change depending on the week) - Omelette station - Crepe station (as well as pancakes! There are sweet or savoury options to create your own crepe) - Fresh pastries and baked goods (croissants, muffins, etc.) - Hot brunch food (eggs benefit, sausage, bacon, seasonal grilled vegetables, salmon/rice, potatoes, etc.) - Fried chicken and waffles - Charcuterie and meats (charcuterie meats are often freshly sliced) - Fruits and salad station - Dessert station (ice cream, pecan pie, carrot cake, brownies, apple crumble, bread pudding, etc.) The food for the Sunday buffet brunch was good! I particularly enjoyed the seafood station with the freshly shucked oysters and king crab. There was staff often shucking oysters behind the station to make sure everything was replenished. During my time there, staff also kept making sure food was being cooked and brought out - never saw an empty station! The lines for the omelette an crepe stations were never long as well. Our server often kept checking up on us and our dirty plates were cleared in record time. Overall, a great affordable Sunday brunch with lots of options available. Great place to celebrate a special occasion with family or friends!

The menu selection was limited and as expected higher priced. We inquired about the appetizers and were advised many of them were small and really not portioned for more than 1-2 people. It didn't stop us but just good for you to know. The steak frites were delicious, came with as nice crème and steak was soft and tender. The mushroom melt was a little too greasy with the added butter on the bread then aioli and cheese. The fried chicken sandwich was a hit but beware, it's very sauce and will be a mess to eat. The blueberry salad lack flavour and sounds better than it tastes. Our server and the assistants were courtesy and nice however one of my friends did request for her salad to undressed but it came out fully dressed, we didn't make a fuss but our orders were quite simple and the restaurant wasn't busy, we'd expect a regular order.
