Long-running establishment serving steak & seafood in a traditional, wood-paneled dining room.
Ive been to Napoleons several times with my wife. We have never been let down. The portions are so generous we have even just gone for Caesar salad and the breaded calamari. Each of these dishes are unreal. Truly a gem!
We enjoyed a beautiful meal with family to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The service, the atmosphere and the food were all excellent. I wish we had room for dessert !!! If you are looking for a classic steak house experience with homemade delicious food and generous servings… this is where you want to start !! The Caesar salad is amazing !! Thank you for making Justin’s birthday a memorable occasion.
5 stars isn’t even enough stars! Absolutely amazing all around. We did not have a reservation and came in and they were able to squeeze us in super quick but were completely transparent about how long we would have for dinner. The steak was the best steak we have ever had!! Thank you to all the staff that were so sweet and funny! 10/10 making a reservation so we can have the full experience next time!
We recently took my Father for his 84th birthday, as he’d always wanted to go and had never been. The restaurant is a cozy, intimate setting, so book an early reservation. The service was in short, impeccable. We had someone at our table in a wheelchair and another with a significant food allergy, and they accommodated them without any fuss. They were attentive and professional, without being intrusive at all. The menu is succinct and perfectly executed. Just enough choice and variation without being pretentious or risking quality and consistency. The food was the star of the show, and it’s the first time in a long time where I felt I got what I paid for. Everything was cooked absolutely perfectly, from the steak to the veg. Nothing over powering anything else, and a reminder to me of what I should remember in my kitchen at home. The Caesar salad is absolutely fantastic, and plentiful! Thank you to the team at Napoleons for making my Fathers birthday one to remember. He’s still raving about the experience and we can’t wait to return. As I said, book an early reservation time to avoid any wait as this place has a deservedly loyal following and just a few tables. A lot of restaurants in the area could learn from the Napoleon model.
Best steakhouse I have ever been to and I have been to a few. This place is mouth watering! The price is definitely worth it as the portions make up for it and the quality is top notch. The best calamari is located here, as with the Caesar salad, French onion soup and the complementary garlic bread and cheese. The peppercorn steak with the sauce, and garlic mashed potatoes are phenomenal. Atmosphere and service is amazing too. I recommend everyone to go here instead of the carriage house in Burlington or other steakhouses that are over priced- this one is definitely worth it!
I drove past this place so many times and never noticed it. We came here for my friend’s birthday dinner and wow what a hidden little gem! I’ve never had feta and pickle spears as starter until Napoleon’s and I’m all for it! Steak was great and staff were super friendly. Cherry on top: your beverages are served with a FLAMING SWORD!!!!! 9000000/10
Went here as a last-minute change in restaurant choice. Called and was able to make a reservation. Was pleasantly surprised at the ambiance. Our cups were refilled from time to time with water. It almost seems the server has an auto-sensor for when you've taken water from the cup. The food was delicious. Large portions. Well done steak was well done and juicy (not dry). The garlic mashed potatoes had the right texture and flavor, and the asparagus was done right. Customer service was excellent. No wonder they've stayed in business for long. I'll be back for sure!
My boyfriend and I just celebrated our 5 year anniversary here and it did not disappoint. Service was above and beyond x10 we always felt catered to, check in on and glasses always full. Service like this is something you don’t see too often let alone being a young couple who is used to get put at the worse seat in the restaurant. Food was amazing! We ordered some drinks and had some garlic bread, feta and pickles. Cheese was delicious. Also ordered a seafood platter for 2 that had calamari and 2 types of shrimp with seafood sauce. For our mains I got the surf and turf; filet mignon 8oz (Cuban lobster tail and veggies). My bf got the striploin classic; New York 10oz (shrimp, asparagus and hollandaise sauce). All main dishes also come with choice of ceaser/garden salad or French onion soup. The ceaser salad had alot of dressing just a bit too much for my liking but overall enjoyed it. The French onion soup amazing with a thick layer of cheese torched ontop and broth was delicious. For our anniversary they also gave us a cherry cheesecake, to complete the dinner. Love the ambiance of this restaurant tucked away in the corner of the plaza. Very small inside but very romantic dim lighting, lamps on all the tables. Classical music playing in the background. Thank you so much to all the our waiters, manager and kitchen staff for an amazing evening we won’t forget!
First time visit and it was for my husbands birthday. The food was amazing and plentiful.... so much food! We had 3 gentlemen looking after our table and the service was exceptional. Our glasses never ran empty, and our courses were excellently timed. We were not rushed at all, which is appreciated as I am a slow eater. They acknoledged our special occasion without drawing a lot of attention to us which was wonderful! One of the best meals we have had in a long time! Will definitely return!
This place has the small, elegant, old school vibe where mafia hits would happen.....and nobody seen a thing. Food and services are second to NONE. Food
Excellent high quality food and ingredients. Service was impeccable which is rare these days. Going back.
Very disappointing with regards to service. 1.15 hours for appetizer and soup. Main course may be coming soon, we were told. First time and last time. Have eaten many 5*+ restaurants around the world and this was disappointing
I want to thank the staff they were excellent the service was excellent and a special thanks to George he made our visit very special and I hope you like the eggs lol
Dinner was delicious. Service amazing! They are excellent. All over the best stakes you will ever eat Parking: Please ho treat your self. Steks are the best in town...
I ordered a medium rare fillet mignon and I received a medium well at $71. It was my fathers 90th birthday. Very disappointed! I told the waiter to package leftovers so we could leave and he twice insisted we had to wait for everyone else to finish. I told him a third time to pack our leftovers as my son had to go back to fort Erie and he finally complied. I ve been going there for years but this was the last time!
Awesome food and service. The best B52 coffee in Burlington.
Best of the best! It kind of looks strange because it s a beautiful wood door in a plaza but it s phenomenal! Best steakhouse in the area I have been to yet! It s got the mobster classy atmosphere and the food was sooo soo good! We had a ton of food, French onion soup, Tuna Mahi mahi, Caesar Salad and Steak one with lobster one with shrimp served with perfect mashed potatoes and grilled veg! As well as cheesecake for dessert! With tip apx $350 - completely worth it and the experience! Parking: In a plaza Kid-friendliness: Not really unless it s for a celebration for someone older
My wife and I entrusted Napoleons with our Anniversary dinner and it didnt disappoint. The service was extraordinary as well as the food. Youd expect with the high quality of the meal, the portion size to be small, but OMG there was so much. Desert for us was out of the question and most of our fingerling potatoes we had to take home and use for breakfast the next morning! :) Our steaks where perfectly cooked and so tender. Id say pricing is similar to the Keg, but the food quality at Napoleons beats the Keg hands down.
atmosphere and service are always amazing at Napoleons! some of the best salad you will ever have, I usually order a new york steak with peppercorn sauce and never disappointed, worth a try if you got the money to spend! my family said quality is not what it used to be with their meals but nonetheless still worth going!
My first time there for my parent s 50th anniversary and it was an excellent experience!! Service and food quality are my two biggest things when I eat out and this exceeded my expectation. Great job and see you in October for my dad s 80th birthday which we already booked before leaving. Thanks to their staff at Napoleon and the chefs!! Cheers
Napoleons is dining done right! Amazing, professional serving staff that work wonderfully together. Portions are more than generous and priced well. Many menu options. I cant speak to the desserts because Im always too full to get one! Thanks for a great night out and making it a very special occasion. Kid-friendliness: We didnt bring kids, but the servers were excellent with the kids we were seated near.
This place is a hidden gem!
This classic steakhouse is an absolute gem! I took my steak loving boyfriend here for his birthday celebration and both he and I loved this place! If youre searching for an unforgettable dining experience that seamlessly blends classic ambiance with unparalleled flavors, look no further than this classic gem. From the moment you step through the door, youre transported to a realm of warmth and feeling very special, impeccable service and absolutely amazing food. Whether its refilling your water glass or offering recommendations, they go above and beyond to ensure your evening is nothing short of extraordinary. From the first bite of the secret family recipe Caesar salad to the last sip of the B52 coffee cocktail, every moment is pure bliss. We even had escargot, something that I had not had in a long time and that was amazing. My Peppercorn steak with cracked pepper and mushroom sauce my all time favourite, was one of the best I have ever had and the Rib Steak Neptune topped with crab meat, asparagus and hollandaise sauce enjoyed by my boyfriend was cooked to perfection. We loved every bite! A big thank you to George and the entire staff... we will be back very soon! I hope he takes me here for my birthday too or just because....
The garlic bread, Caesar salad, steak, cherry cheesecake and service was amazing,
Food was good although it took 2 hrs to get the main course and some of the food was cold. Was not made aware that there was a minimum automatic tip requirement of 20% when there is a group of 6 people or more. I have been going to this Restaurant for some 25 years and this is the first time this has happened to me. I like to tip and tip well when I ve enjoyed the waiter and service. Our waiter was not worth $59 hour. That s what it worked out to be with a 20%tip. The restaurant was extremely cold.
Nice old school atmosphere and service but the quality of the food doesn t justify the price point. They kept emphasizing the generous portions when I was there for taste and quality and both were lacking. Many better options in the immediate vicinity. Will not recommend.
While the service was outstanding, the food was okay. I expected more with all the raving reviews I have read. Everything was overly garlic-filled (and I love garlic!). The steak was perfectly done to my liking and was very fresh. If making a reservation here, I suggest asking for a seat sway from the door unless you enjoy dressing up, sitting in the cold breeze created by the door opening and closing every few minutes and diners waiting to be seated staring at your plate. We were accommodated and moved to a different spot (very much appreciated) but the first half hour of our dinner was pretty unpleasant.
This is a spectacular little Steak House, the food and service is terrific and it is like a time warp inside.
Low Quality Food. Slow Service. I called ahead to ask if the kitchen is able to accommodate celiac (gluten free options as a result of an allergy), and was advised that it wasnt a problem, so I booked a table for two for 7:45pm. Upon arrival (with several other couples squeezed behind us in the tiny foyer for their 7:45pm res) we immediately noticed how small the restaurant is, and that it was at full capacity with no room for any 7:45pm reservations (nor any room to stand and wait). Finally, about 20 mins later, a table finished and we were seated. We ordered a bottle of wine and were told by our server that he would TRY to secure a bottle for us, as the one we chose was flying out the door. Maybe 20 minutes later, he returned with our requested wine, and I asked him what options would be safe for me to eat from the menu. He wasnt familiar with celiac at all, and said oh I think weve dealt with that before. Yikes. He went to the kitchen to ask the chef, but literally didnt return for another 45 minutes. When he came back to take our order, he forgot to ask the kitchen what I could eat. Like pardon!? After another 20 minutes, he came back to let me know I would be safe with a plain steak, baked potato and veggies. After ordered our meals, and Im not exaggerating when I tell you, we waited another 45 minutes for our salads (mine was a house garden salad, and it DEFINITELY tasted like it was out of a bag ). I took one bite and left it, and waited another 30 minutes for my meal (New York strip which tasted burnt, stringy beans and a baked potato). Ugh. Not worth the long wait or the $300 bill. At the end of the night our server did apologize for the wait and thanked us for our patience which was nice, and I realize this experience is not all his fault, but there is just no way we would ever return here. I can appreciate that perhaps it was just an off night but nothing was redeeming, unfortunately. Save your money and go elsewhere my friends!
Love coming here. Great cocktail shrimp, ceasar salad, French onion soup, & of course the steak
Food , Service, and traditional atmosphere. From start to finish you are served plenty of food and most times you will be bringing some home with you.
Simply the best! My favourite of all time..old classic,,a gem
Wonderful dining experience. Excellent food, impeccable service.
Fabulous service and food Best caeser dressing Food
Best steak and seafood restaurant in Burlington. High quality food and large portions.
Everything was great. Waiters were great and on the ball . The lady at the door could learn how to smile though .
Absolutely loved it here! The ambiance, service, pricing and food was perfect. From the outside it didnt seem like much as it is in a fairly small plaza but the inside of it has all the makings of a very intimate and upscale environment. The waiters were friendly and very knowledgeable and really helped make the whole night an enjoyable experience. We also really enjoyed the fact that they gave us our privacy and only came around when they noticed we needed water or to occasionally check in on how we were doing. We ordered the Caesar salad since it seemed to be the most reviewed dish on their menu and it did not disappoint! It was very tasty and was a massive portion size that we could not finish and had to pack to take home for later. We also ordered the seafood combination for 2 and it left us quite satisfied. Lastly for the mains we chose to go with the Chicken Oscar and Chicken Parmesan (both halal options which is awesome!) and once again the food was fantastic and the portion size were huge. All in all, it was a great night spent here and I would highly recommend this place for anyone trying to enjoy a fine dining experience without spending an extreme amount. We will most definitely back!
Amazing service, intimate atmosphere, best steak Ive ever had!
We loved everything about Napoleon steakhouse, though we didn try the steak this time but the salmon and the chickeN parm were amazing, huge portions and amazing people, we even got a surprise cake when they noticed it was my husband s and I s anniversary! So thanks Napoleon s chef and Staff for the kind gesture and great food!
My wife and I have been going to Napoleons for anniversaries, birthdays, special occasions for years and its always been stellar. My wife gets the surf and turf, I get a steak and everything is always delicious and beautifully plated. As great as the steak and everything is, its the caesar salad that I dream about at night. Without question the greatest, most garlicky caesar Ive ever had. You go for the steak, but you stay for the caesar. Thanks for everything over the years, see you soon!
Amazing service, steak with holland sauce is extremely tasty. Lots of starter like bread, cheese and pickles. Highly recommend the French onion soup and the calamari
Old school steak house. The pickes and feta are especially good. Steaks are good, but nothing special. Calamari app was excellent
Top notch service...brought my family here for my parents 60th wedding aniversary...younwont leave hungry! Food was great! Dietary restrictions: Two of our party were gluten free which they accommodated for.
Always a consistent, incredible dining experience when we visit. Parking: Large plaza lot to park in Kid-friendliness: Though not traditionally a place to take kids theyve made our son feel welcome and very well accommodated! They didnt used to have a kids menu but do now and the quality is equally spectacular! Although our son just orders off the adult menu - its that good
Amazing food, hugh portions, excellent service. Highly recommende.
We wanted to try this place because we heard that it was good. When we walked in we were surprised how small of a place it was. The servers were sort of friendly but not the best at what they do and the food was a 7 out of ten. The steaks were not tender but we were trying to stay positive but the whole experience was not we expected. I dont like giving bad reviews but we were not impressed. Maybe we went on a bad day, one day we may try it again.
Well definitely just made a repeat customer. Best Quality and bang for your buck. I was blown away with flavourful entries and the main was mouth watering delicious. Also service was impeccable.5 star.
Great customer service and great food. I have have visited this place with friends and colleagues a number of times and it never disappoints. We will definitely do larger corporate events here soon!
Napoleons has always been the place for us to go to when craving steak. Been going for over 20 years! Always top notch service with delicious food. Filet Neptune is the BOMB !!!! Food : 5/5 |
We love Napoleon s. It s my favourite date night restaurant for my husband and I. We are also obsessed with the Caesar dressing which we buy from them regularly throughout the year.
A hidden gem. Small and quaint. Food was incredible and service was spot on. Ceasar salad has to be one of the best I have ever tasted. Calamari was cooked perfect. Steak could be cut with just a fork! This was my 1st time here but I will be back for sure!
Napoleons has never let me down! The food and service is always the Best! I have always recommend people to go.
Just celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary here & the evening was perfect! From the warm greeting at the door, the wonderful food & the perfect service, we would highly recommend eating here
Five stars every time!!
Had an early dinner with my wife. Service was correct and attentive. My wife had the chicken Oscar with salad, and I had the veal Oscar with the onion soup and a glass of the house red wine. Wine was nice and paired well with my meal. My wife found the salad ordinary, though there was plenty of it. Her baked potato was fine, but her chicken was only ok. My veal was excellent, but my French fries were not to my taste. My meal was also unbalanced: a huge amount of fries, a bit too much asparagus, far too much green beans , but one very small slice of carrots and a small slice of bell pepper. Vegetables were well prepared but too much of some and not enough of the other. It has been several years since we last ate here, but we used to dine there quite often and almost always had excellent meals, so maybe I just chose poorly this time. At some point, we mentioned it was our anniversary and they surprised us with a delicious slice of cake on the house. Its not cheap, but it is good value for a white table restaurant these days.
You go once and you will return as my friends and I have for over the last 30 years. Its just one of those places that exists because its excellent food. Pricing is what youd expect to pay at this establishment and also a pretty nice place for a date night. Of all the restaurants Ive eaten in, this one is in the top ten. Cezar salad is a must, but all parties must eat some. Its the only way to be able to communicate afterward, the garlic, lol Enjoy!
Our new go to place for a celebration. This place was a delight. At first they bring warm toasted bread with feta and pickles which was very enjoyable. Steak (we had fillet and New York strip) was cooked to perfection included a started of french onion soup or salad. We chose french onion soup. Also with veg and either fries or baked potato. We added a ceasar salad. We ordered too much so look forward to having more today. I can not recommend enough. Book a table and go with an appetite. The staff were very attentive and super friendly.. can t wait to return. Heads up the sell the ceasar salad sauce to take home and it s yummy
Excellent food and even better service. I believe my servers name was Brian, and he took care of my party very well. Highly recommend
Enjoyed a lovely celebration dinner at Napoleon s - amazing food, great service and ambience. Will definitely be back!
Perfect for our 24th wedding anniversary dinner. Exceptional everything.....food, large portions and delicious...service excellent...music lovely and volume just right. We found the prices reasonable for quality everything. Tons of parking. Well return!
Perfect place for a dinner night .loved the food and service. Would recommend there nepolian dessert coffee....u going to love it.
Waiter was horrible, raised his voice unnecessarily, was rude and impatient. We said we did not want to rush and visit with our guests. He ignored any instructions. Food was cold or blackened. Who puts hollandaise sauce under a broiler leaving blackened spots all over? 4 of us spent over 500. Would never never recommend this place. That waiter needs to go. He made the whole experience awful. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE.
The dining experience at Napoleon s Steak and Seafood was one that truly astounded me and exceeded all of my expectations, it gave me almost every reason to praise and near nothing to complain about it was expensive but well worth it. So I ll start off with the food, it was exceptional the quality of the steak, the shrimp, the garden salad and the fries were all exceptionally well made and the quality of the ingredients were truly superb, top marks. The only thing better than the food was the service, the staff never missed any opportunity to see how you were doing, and to top up your water at every opportunity, the friendliness and politeness was out of this world for lack of a better word. A few other things to note was that the place was small, so if anything be sure to get a reservation considering it is almost always crowded and deservedly so, (the food is excellent, the service is somehow even better). Now as for the smallest gripe I had it was that the place was small and that at times, (especially when there was a large table) it could get quite loud unfortunately, however that is really just about it, nothing that the owner or staff could help and it couldn t even come close to making a dent in the quality of the dining experience. A few final notes to add is that the food takes a long time, however it is well worth the wait and while you do wait for the main course you ll have a choice between a soup or salad (of sizable proportion). Another note to add is that the choice of sides is not so limited here considering you are provided many choices in regards to the sides you could order so whilst a staff member lists them off be sure to pay attention haha. Last but not least the main entrees were large (at least for me) and maybe more so on top of the fact that you receive bread, pickles, a large salad as I mentioned and then the entree, I had no room for dessert by the end of it, a shame considering I would have wanted to try one. P.S the staff was hilarious and for the staff member who waited on us, I can assure that I was too full to go to McDonald s and order any kind of dessert haha. T was an unforgettable dining experience props to the staff and the people who run the place, excellent work.
I Have been going to Napoleons restaurant for many years. For special occasions or just to have a great meal and experience. Fantastic meal every time. Service is awesome and always a great experience. Food
We had a new waiter who did an amazing job. We were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary the place where I had asked my wife 27 years ago to marry me. Great memories. Amazing Food!
Food was amazing. The garlic bread and Caesar salad were so garlicky. The ribeye was cooked wonderfully! Service was amazing
Great food. The Steak was divine. Its a little small on the inside but has great staff and the atmosphere feels nice too.
Im a repeat customer. Been going for years and I love it!
Phenomenal! Everything. The service was top notch, the food was incredible!! We had calamari that was very tender and tasty, then French Onion Soup (portion large), ceasar salad (easily for 2 people), half rack of lamb (cooked perfect and had an incredible mint based crust), and peppercorns chicken (juicy/tender, tasteful). We went home with a lot of left overs, which Im looking forward to having. This is a gem of a restaurant!!
What a great experience! Outstanding old school steakhouse food - huge portions and impeccable service! Our waiter, Troy was a pleasure and more than happy to pack up the abundance of leftovers. Thank you for a terrific evening - and a lunch to look forward to tomorrow!
A wonderful little Restaurant. Food and service top notch!! They have the biggest pepper mills you have ever seen in a place.
My wife & I had a wedding anniversary dinner at Napoleons for 6pm Friday, Nov 18/2023. We decided on Napoleons as we had prior excellent experiences there. Unfortunately, this current experience was not a good one. On the positive side my steak was excellent. On the negative side we were alarmed at the service and that the request was made to speed up our 6pm order as requested by staff. I understand the need to schedule reservations and there was an 8:30pm reservation for someone else. This is the first time experiencing a fine dining restaurant request we speed up our meal. Appalling. We wont be back in the future.
Omgggg what an AMAZING little gem. The FOOD & SERVICE were impeccable. The food portions are OUTSTANDING! Napoleans is definately going to be our new Steak House Cant rave enough about this place!
Service was odd. We had to confirmed our order 4 times and it was still wrong. When you are spending good money you should get what you ordered. I would not recommend or return.
Exceptional service and food was delicious. Good portions for fine dining.
Its been a couple years since we have had the opportunity to dine at Napoleons but it was just as good as we remembered. Portion sizes were abundant with extra to take home. Service by wait staff was exemplary. They now have a 2 hour sitting/dining limit, however the meal never felt rushed with adequate time between courses. Will be back.
Absolutely phenomenal. I cannot recommend this gem enough. After another high end restaurant in Burlington ruined my last Valentines Day dinner with my SO before we become a party of 3, we decided to have a do-over at Napoleons. Everything was phenomenal, from start to finish. The portions, quality, price, and flavour were all amazing. We had plenty for left overs. There was a hiccup in the kitchen, and they remedied it before it was even an issue, with gracious apologies and solutions already in the works. They even gave us a free dessert (a delicious slice of cheesecake) to make up for our Valentines Day fiasco - which certainly was not their fault in any way shape or form. But boy did they ever make up for it. Napoleons will be our go-to for special occasions from now on, and I highly recommend it be yours as well! You will not be disappointed.
Oh my GOD!!!! What an experience!!! To understand you need to go..
Tonight was our first time at Napoleons and we found our new favourite place!! I cant rave enough how every bite is absolutely delicious. The complimentary loaf is to die for....perfection! Steak & Shrimp, Filet Mignon & Lobster, Cesar salad, and calamari... course after course did not disappoint. Very generous serving sizes of all dishes ordered. Compliments to the Chef and the waiters we professional and delightful. Worth every penny! We will be back!
Beat steak restaurant in Burlington - hands down!! Amazing servers- kind, attentive and knowledgeable. Delicious food with very generous portions. (Even had extra to take home) Their Cesar salad is next level delicious!!!
Intimate fine dining experience with a casual tone. Incredible quality food and service. A must for anyone with a love for great steak/chicken and seafood. Top notch service.
Memories of the old classic steakhouses. Excellent service and food. The garlic bread is amazing. Portion sizes are very large so I would suggest that you come hungry.
Excellent service, delicious food!
So so good. The food is fantastic. Service was perfect. Cant wait to go back.
3 1/2 this is a nice little steak house in Burlington, the ambience is excellent, the ceasar salad was delicious, the French onion soup was alittle bland, and the steaks were ok, nothing overly special.
Not bad, but can t understand why there is such a fuss about this place. Ceasar salad was great, but steak massively underwhelming. Peppercorn steak was more like peppercorn soup with a thin flappy piece of beef hiding somewhere inside. Seems like it is trying really hard to be like Zorro s or La Castile but fails miserably.
Had the salmon for dinner it is so good also a ceaser salad the portions are so big had to take some home recommend to a bice quit place to go.
There on the weekend. Steaks were clearly frozen previously. Our waiter, the fat guy, was a jerk. Service was horrible. Would not recommend.
Wonderful as always. Well worth the price. Havent been here in a few years because of Covid-19. They dont have any crab entrees, which my wife was looking forward to. I understand that the quality in the supply chain is unacceptable, so for the time being crab is off the menu. I hope they bring it back in the future. Make sure to call ahead for a reservation.
Caesar salad was very good. Large enough to share. Our waiter from the beginning was rude. He did not introduced himself he did not ask if we were celebrating a special occasion. We were it was my mother-in-law s 81st birthday. He asked his other tables the question. The two page paper menu staple together was a little hard for my mother-in-law to read so I was reading the menu to her. He asked if we were ready to order and I motion for my husband to start and he completely ignored him and said I will start with you miss. When my mother-in-law started to order he told her that that was a lot of food. Somehow our appetizers got mixed up and it appeared it was our fault when I hear him in the kitchen say they took her salad. Of course I could hear the kitchen conversation because that s where we were seated. Dinner arrived and it was good. When I asked for my plate to be removed I was told that the table gets cleared all at once. My husband and I have been married for 30 years I always finish my meal before him and he never has a problem when I ask for my plate to be removed. I would have thought that he could ve carried out a customer request. On a final note being so close to the kitchen every time the door opened I would notice the very dirty vent on the wall. No I will not be returning to Napoleon s.
Have not been there since the covid restrictions were dropped. Still a great atmosphere and wonderful large portions. Will be going back, soon, with friends.
Great food! Wonderful atmosphere!
Small intimate steakhouse know for ginormous salads and starters. Decent French onion soup. Steak was ok. Peppercorn crusted was a bit much and the mushroom sauce was really thick. Took away from the quality of the steak.
We 1st visited in 1996 and have been 2 or 3 x/year customers since (Covid exception). Unfortunately the past 3 or so visits have not been satisfactory. There has been a decline in the quality of food but the waiter assures me that ownership has not changed. A medium rare steak was served medium. The fries were no where close to pre covid standard. The only constant was the Ceasar salad. Sad to say, we will not be back.
Great food, nice place, excellent service. The portions were large, but the food was great. Everyone was leaving with their leftovers.
Had chicken parmesan very good. Second meal veal napoleon. Not so good . Veal chewy asparagus woody. My guess mushrooms from a can. We have eaten there many times with good reviews. Both dine in And take out. So giving it a 4 star. Service excellent!
Me and my wifes first time at this place and WOW what great food and service we had last night !! Portions are very generous for what you pay for. Totally recommend this place if your looking for a great steakhouse hands down tyvm
Fine dining at its best. Food was amazing the service was the best of the best the price was worth the service food and atmosphere.
Everything was amazing! The ambiance,the wine, the food! So on point and so worth the money. Go if you want to have a great time! The pickles and feta paired with the garlic bread was just the beginning. Never thought Id appreciate steak with sauce but hot dang! The baked potato comes with its own butter and sour cream on the side, a lot of it. Thats what makes the difference.
Fantastic food and fantastic staff!
That ceaser dressing is everything. We got a salad and a slice of cake. The cake was good but that dressing was the star. Everyone raves about it and now I see why. On top of that they are super accomodating. They made my time work and was even still kind when we were a bit late. We hope to visit them in person when things are better but till then we are savoring that dressing. Also lool how much dressing comes with ONE order of salad.. (we have used it on another salad and even as dips for chicken and pizza)
Impressed by the service (last minute Valentines Day service) and curbside pick up, your infamous caesar salad, made our day, Thank You.
I was craving a steak, a good steak, and ordered from Napoleon s. I haven t been there in a few years. The food was absolutely amazing. The crisp vegetables, baked potato, garlic bread and the caesar salad (to die for) were perfect companions to my cooked-to -perfection filet mignon . What a treat. I m still drooling. Thanks to #ONRestaurants+Burlington for reminding me why Napoleon s has been a mainstay in Burlington. I ll be back.
Beautiful, elegant, friendly are just a few words I can use to describe this restaurant. A smaller restaurant in a place it does not seem to belong with a great romantic atmosphere. The staff are friendly and very attentive neaver leaving your glass half full. The food portions are very good allowing you time to linger before the next course is served and resulting in a very full and satisfied feeling when you are done. I had the Cuban lobster which I have never found anywhere outside of Cuba and it was to die for. I never knew this place existed until seeing reviews on a reddit group during covid in support of local business but I highly recommend everything about this place is top notch.
I went today and omg, no words. The steak was amazing! Everything was just great!
Great experience with good and delicious food! Very attentive and friendly staff as well.
Always outstanding food and service. Nothing else compares. Enjoy and support this local gem.
I had a wonderful night @ Napoleon s Steak & Seafood. Our waiter did a great job. He was very enthusiastic and the food tasted great. I recommend that you ask for GREG when you book your reservations. He also does magic tricks. don t tell him I told you hehehe!!
Best steak in town. Service is amazing. Definitely no complaints on the food size is massive lol.
Great Steaks and Seafood BEST in Halton!
We had reservations, then the lockdown happened and George took the time to call us to talk about it. We wanted to try Napoleons so we stuck with takeout and I m glad I did. Spectacular food, they give you signature stuff free of charge and lots of it. Our meal could have fed 6 people but all high end fare....the value is unmatched anywhere I ve ever been in my life. Highly recommend Napoleons, an amazing local spot that s been here for decades, so it s a no brainer. An awesome meal
The service was 10/10. The food was 10/10. This is standard at any good steakhouse. What was totally unique to Napoleons was their portion sizes. I was absolutely in awe. Never before have I had a full heaping plate of the freshest, most delicious ceasar salad delivered to my table. They also have a 5 foot talk pepper mill, which in my books is justification in itself to return.
Amazing steak! Highly recommend this place. The best in Burlington!
Even in this time of covid, the restaurant was very accommodating, allowing a change in pickup time. Our phone order was immediately answered and explained in a straight forward, friendly manner. The fillets were perfect! The portions overwhelming! I would recommend Napoleons to anyone who desires an excellent meal!
We picked up Mothers Day meals there. Food was unbelievable, huge portions.
Great food and excellent service
The food and service were outstanding. We highly recommend Napoleon s. So good!
Ordered medium rare steak it was made to perfection. And Caesar salad was so yummy. Great food & customer service
Four of us visited this restaurant last evening, August 5th. The restaurant has been open for 36 years, I was there approx. 25 years ago. Now I remember why it took so long to go back. The martini was a glass of gin. The Caesars salad was 3 times too big for an appetizer and was soaked in dressing. The garlic bread was a hunk of bread. I ordered the filet to be safe-ordered pink or medium. It arrived well done and tough. The in-house fries were hot but under deep fried as they were soft. The green beans were green. To their credit the meal was written off but a very disappointing adventure. The one positive is I will probably be gone before the next 25 year visit comes up.
We ordered the Rack of Lamb. It was perfectly done and very enjoyable. Always a great meal.
The long lost art of superior customer service and excellent food is alive and well at Napoleons. Their Caesar salad is the best I ve ever had from the many fine restaurants I ve had the privilege to enjoy. Their steaks are so delicious and tender.
Went for the first time this evening and was blown away. The portions were huge and everything was so delicious. The service was phenomenal as well. This will be my go-to for special occasions.
The portions are huge!! And delicious! Especially the Caesar salad.
To whoever would claim that the food and dining experience is anything but spectacular. I would question your creditials and immediately assume the charming waiter was better conversation and company than you. The plaza is questionable at best. However once opening the large wooden doors you are taken into a tiny but atmospheric restraunt as to be expected from a location such as Joe beef in Montreal or the popular barbarians in downtown Toronto. The portions are generous and the prices are more than reasonable. The caesar salad is a meal on its own with an in house dressing that may put off those whos example of high end dinning begin and end with the word Reenes. The waiters are non intrusive ensuring your drinks are topped off in a timely and consistent manner in between courses. While the food itself is well above its competition with the keg or any other large chain steak house. When compared to the likes of Joe beef or barbarians this unfortunately falls short. With that being said the overall value atmosphere and dinning experience is phenomenal. As long as Napoleon s remain in business, I will not go so low as to eat at a restaurant such as the Keg when I could simply pay a few dollars more for a superior experience. If you live in the Burlington area I would recommend eating here at least once.
Great service, wonderful food.
Amazing food! Big portions
Service and food 10/10. Prices are fair for the quality. Definitely the best place in Burlington for special occasions.
We had a great experience here the other day. The restaurant is a small quaint place to dine and has very nice ambiance. The staff were very friendly and the service was amazing. The food was excellent. We truly enjoyed our meal and the portions are quite large! Its a little pricey, but worth it for sure. There was a bit of a wait, even though we had a reservation, and the first staff member that greeted us wasnt the most friendly. All was forgotten by the time we were seated and started enjoying our experience. I highly recommend trying this place!
If you are looking for an old school Italian fine dining experience with excellent customer service than book Napoleons. The Caesar salad was dressed with a in house dressing that was very well done. It was not overly creamy and had a nice balance of garlic to vinaigrette. They served pickles and bread upon sitting down. The pickles were 10/10! The calamari appetizer was lightly fried and delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly and the service was attentive and friendly.
Came to Napoleans with my wife and kids (a bit strange having kids here, but the wait staff and kitchen were very adept at handling kids). Overall, positive experience but some oddities that means we wont be back in a hurry. Wide ordered the filet Neptune and I the Neptune. The kids had chicken fingers and ceaser salad. Firstly, the salad, garlic bread, Feta and pickles to start were all awesome. The ceaser is great and deserves the accolades. But I found it a bit rich. The steaks were cooked well. Where things got strange was the sides (beans and baked potatoe). The sides were verging on completely unseasonably. No butter, no nothing. A plain potato with a sprinkle of salt. Not what Id expect at this price per plate. Overall, dinner was good, but a few glaring misses. Wait staff was incredibly pleasant and accommodating. Overall, if you want a steak and salad, come hear.
The food was amazing. My wife and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary and were taken care of by an excellent waiter named Greg. We had the calamari (which was the best we have ever had, they melted in your mouth instead of being hardened rubber) the Caesar salad and the surf and turf. Got a huge portion of lobster and the steak was cooked to perfection. It is a little expensive but the quality is definitely there. Along with the positive experience of our waiter we will definitely be back again.
This is easily the best steak house in the area. Great Calamari, the best Ceasar salad and amazing steaks! Service is outstanding! Cant wait to go back !
Incredible dinner, incredible service, worth every penny! We have heard legend of the caesar salad and it did not disappoint, in fact every part of the meal was on point. We will definitely be back.
The service was nicer than the food.
Fantastic!! Service excellent, steak excellent!
If I could give zero stars I would. We waited 30 minutes in cold when we had a reservation. No apology given. They put us at a table within feet of tables on both sides. The restaurant is loud and the servers rude. We left immediately. DO NOT GO HERE. Ruined our date night
Still this best fine dining resteruarant around
Awesome good and atmosphere!
Great service amazing food.
Excellent food !!! Well proportioned
Truly a great experience....Amazing ambience....Thanks for making it special...
Awesome
Fantastic steak house. Great food and service.
One of the top restaurants in Burlington. Best Caesar salad. Hands down.
Fabulous! Atmosphere is so elegant and the food is generous and mouth watering. The menu has a excellent variety of entrees and appitetizers. Always a wonderful dinning experience
Amazing! We come here often. Fabulous food and service. The portions are very generous so if you go, come hungry!
Great food and fabulous wait staff! Love it there!
Great food and service! Beef was tender! And salad was huge!
My favorite steakhouse in the GTA. You will not get better quality and quantity at the price point they offer. I will choose Napoleons every single time when my friends try to bring up the Keg or Ruth Chris.. Its just not worth it. If you do happen to visit, definitely ask for server Greg. You will receive outstanding customer service and a memorable experience :)
Good food, outdated interior,and an 7 and less customer service.
Best steakhouse around. Not only is the steak amazing, so is EVERYTHING else. Best Calamari we ve ever had. Service and meal was 5 stars.
Wonderful food and fantastic service, a first choice date night restaurant.
Nice atmosphere and cosy
Best steaks, salmon, chicken etc. We love their generous portions. The staff is conscientious without being over bearing. This is a little gem.
Our children took us for our 25th Anniversary. The meal and service was outstanding. Highly recommend this restaurant.
Menu very limited now and quality of food was average at best Service was good. Not worth prices charged. Long time customer but we will not return.
Excellent food and very generous portions. The staff was friendly and attentive. Well worth the money!
Napoleons is an experience. Everything about this place exceeded my expectations. It has got to be the best steakhouse Ive been to. Im going back soon. Highly recommended. The rib steak was heaven! Reasonable prices. Excellent staff.
This place is the real deal. Incredible service, meal & ambience! My favourite Burlington restaurant. Both the caesar salad & french onion soup are incredible
We have been there twice and absolutely love it. The staff are so friendly . Service is excellent , food cooked to perfection . Very generous portions and great value . This is our new favorite restaurant . Definitely will be returning and highly recommend .
Old fashioned service with exceptionally high standards! And enough garlic to kill vampires....
Best Calamari ever!!! We have been going to Nepoleans for over 10 years and they are our favorite Steak House period! We love everything about it!
This has been my favourite restaurant for several years. I have never been disappointed with the food and their service is second to none! I will continue to take family and friends there as I know they wont be disappointed.
Best steak I have ever had!
From the moment you walk in the door, its a wonderful experience. The atmosphere, the staff are attentive, food is always fabulous. Steak is always done to perfection.You have to have a Napoleons coffee to end the evening. Memories to be made. Our family has been going for over 25 years.
By far, my FAVOURITE restaurant!!!! I cannot say enough amazing things about this place The food is incredible!! The portions are huge. I m never able to finish everything lol. The calamari will melt in your mouth. I always have the lobster, scallops & shrimp plate for dinner and it s the best I ve ever had. The service is unreal!! It s definitely a five star restaurant. You won t receive this service anywhere else.
Amazing food and great staff. Bookmarked.
Food was Amazing. Our server was a great joy and very courteous. I would go back again and recommend the everyone I know to go there.
Absolutely the best meal weve had in years! More than generous portions of perfectly cooked steak, lobster and sides. Fresh caesar salad and delicious chowder. Excellent garlic bread, pickles and feta to start. AND great service!!!!!
Fantastic old-school steak house. Great food and totally pro service.
Expensive, but tasty
Very romantic night out. The service is impeccable and the food was absolutely delicious. Well worth it.
Was an absolute perfect meal last night. Staff was super friendly the atmosphere was nice and the food was awesome. 10/10 would go back next time im in the area.
This place is awesome/outstanding. Food & service is unbelievable. This place does not disappoint.
Very delicious steaks, make sure you get there very hungry as even the small portions are US supersize like. And dont forget to try their ceaser salad, its amazing!
Great food and service! A bit small but intimate.
Came here on a friday with a party of 10 and was excited to try the restaurant as I had not been. I started with a manhattan which was excellent and ended up ordering the Special the $69 dollar ribeye chicago style medium rare. They started us with some of the tastiest garlic bread I have had just screaming with garlic and put down a plate of garlicy and zesty caesar salad with a portion the size of a dinner plate. This salad needs bacon though. The reason for my poor review was the steak which was supposed to be the star of the show and just failed in all aspects. The steak was way oversalted and I am used to salting my steaks heavily. The 2nd problem was it was blue rare in some areas but medium in others, like they just pulled it out of the deep freeze or the back of the fridge. $69 for a huge disappointment. The waiter didnt even ask why I only ate half before whisking everyones plates away and by that point we wanted to leave.
Love their Garlic Bread and the service was great. Food portions were large, maybe even too large for the average person. The person who took us to our table was not in the best mood, however we did not let it ruin our evening.
Always excellent food with excellent service.
Small and dated but great food with good service.
Food and service were excellent but a small point, they no longer serve olives in the relish tray(people do notice). Don t know if it s because of the season but they had crammed so many tables in a small space, the noise was deafening and the heat was unbearable. It was a special occasion for our family but it was diminished, not what we were expecting.
