Berkeley North - (Near Hamilton, ON)

5 /5 Jessica Major: Had a lovely experience at Berkeley North yesterday. Had their set menu which is $120 and priced for 2 people. I did notice for $118 they had a gluten free option for the set menu as well. It was a lovely blend of vegetarian and meat options. The steak frites were amazing and honestly cooked to perfection, but I think the star of the show was the eggplant dish. They had just started their winter cocktail menu yesterday and they are worth trying! The winter colada was very crisp and delicious as well as the whimsical cup. The apertivi was a lovely take on a negroni. All around great atmosphere, service and food/drinks.

5 /5 Rebecca Hu: What a lovely place to celebrate (early) Valentine’s Day! The menu was fun and everything was served fresh with great care and thought. The owner continuously checked up on us which made us feel super welcomed! The Nashville Hot Chicken was a bit too crispy for my liking, but that was quickly set right by a complementary basque cheesecake with burnt caramel (which may be the best we’ve ever had). The atmosphere is so thoughtfully decorated and beautiful and everything is spotless. The service was also great, of course. The cocktails were another highlight; we thoroughly enjoyed the passion fruit martini and winter colada. I would give 6 stars if I could!

5 /5 Trevor A: Beautiful space with a warm atmosphere. Food was excellent and met expectations. I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant out for a while. Great service and our server (Robert) was very attentive. My wife and I ordered from a fixed, gluten free dinner menu for two, so that she didn’t have to worry about what she could and couldn’t eat. Our server made sure to identify that there is some cross contamination with the deep fryer, which highlighted the attentiveness to customer allergies. So more gluten friendly than gluten free, but still an available option. We had corn ribs, kohlrabi salad, and fried cauliflower as appetizers. Then I had the trout and potatoes, while she had a pasta dish. Dessert was strawberries and cream, and a Basque cheesecake (not GF). Amazing experience and will definitely be planning another visit.

3 /5 Dave Behiel: Can’t rate the food yet because we have been here for 55 minutes for a 12:15 lunch reservation and have not seen a single bite… 5 tables of 2 and one of 6. Maybe more than one server is needed… especially when he also has to make cocktails!! Not sure if he’s also cooking but we will keep you posted! UPDATE - food arrived… wished we only the eggplant. It was simply amazing. Sadly the cauliflower and corn were very basic (corn was cold) and lacked flavour. This may be the first time I asked a server for salt at a Hamilton restaurant! Glad we checked this one off our food bucket list but won’t be returning.
