The Purple Pear in Hamilton

Victor thank you for your gracious hospitality my friend. Food was outstanding. Amanda was fantastic. Will see you soon enough. Thank you my friend Peter from Woodbridge

First visit was this evening for my Mothers birthday. Had the chicken supreme. I did not want the mushrooms and I think they subbed the sauce to creamy red pepper sauce. Whatever, it was delicious. The skin was crisped to perfection and the breast tender and moist. Really liked the sauce. It was served with breaded and deep fried teardrop of pureed potatoes and tender-crisp vegetables including carrots, parsips, peppers and fine green beans. Portions were perfect. Service was excellent, that combo of attentive and descreet. I particularly enjoyed the complimentary bread basket. From still warm bread sticks, thick slices of fresh calabrese to fresh baked herb biscuits. My mother and brother had the prime rib and both enjoyed the generous portions of tender beef with yorkshire pudding and au jus. Great evening!

Always a pleasant experience. Great service and the meals consistently excellent. This is a hidden Gem in Hamilton. Make sure that you book on advance. We were there with friends on a Wednesday night and the place was packed. The French Onion Soup is a treat.

Food was magnificent

The menu provides a very good selection and everything we had was delicious. The owner and staff were very personable and created a memorable dining experience. Thank you for a wonderful night out.

Food, service, atmosphere, nostalgia, awesome. Nice to see the owner working and talking to the patrons. See you again !

The food was delicious with attentive service but the venue is old and very musty. There s an old smoky odour when you enter which is overtaken by the musty old carpet. Wish I could move the staff and food to a new location. I was so congested that would not be likely to return.

Fantastic place. Went here for a date night with my spouse. Service was amazing, the atmosphere was spectacular (I loved all the pear decor). Food was absolutely worth every penny spent. Definitely recommend! Vegetarian options: There are plenty of pastas for vegetarian options. Im not sure about any other ones, though. Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp right at the front door for ease of access

Cudos again to the Purple Pear. The meal..AMAZING. The staff...AMAZING! and the aumbience is lovely and comforting. Thank you Victor and Lorrie.

We had a fabulous meal enjoyed by all in our party. We received exceptional service and had an all around great evening.

Dined with friends at the Purple Pear for my wife s birthday. I can t say enough about the atmosphere, great food and personal touches by Victor and his wonderful staff. Restaurants like this are few and far between and we will definitely be back

Classic old style restaurant with super good service and delicious food. Owner always very involved with costumers to make best experience possible.

Hello. We went there for our 30th Anniversary. Absolutely Delicious......no exceptions. Victor and his Staff totally amazing. Do not spend 100 dollars on some fancy Burger and Fires. Go there Best Restaurant we have been too in a long time. Will go again and again. Many Thanks. Kind Regards Frank

Great food, great service! Had our wedding dinner here! Victor and his staff did a fantastic job!

A trip down memory lane. Fine dining as it is intended to be. The service is on point, anticipating needs the entire meal. Our party of four (one an Executive Chef), agreed best dining experience ever! The owner is a lovely amicable gentleman. Our server could not have been more attentive, carefully watching our table but not intrusive. The ambience, decor, and background music are so inviting. The meals were exquisite, cooked to perfection! We will be reminiscing about this experience until we return again. Thanks for the amazing evening!

We had caesar salad and French onion soup, seafood linguine and salmon and frozen lemon souffle and cream brule. Everything was delicious Wine by the glass red or white $9 and a good serving. Everything was delicious.

Amazing food nice people recommend if you like steak and even if you don t amazing French onion soup and more

Beautiful atmosphere and great food

5 adults.....had wonderful dining experience.... thank you...

Made reservations. Stood at the door long enough , we thought we had to seat ourselves , until , a waitress yelled across the room to wait until someone came to us . Sat down... our waitress was super friendly ... service was really slow .. food was ok nothing special . Took almost 15 minutes to get the bill !! Not the waitresses fault as we had to wait for a man to give it to us ??? .... we continued to wait until I got up and paid the bill at the bar ... he then said .. I was just about to head over ... whatever, buddy ! Would never go back . An expensive outing. Expected more .. $210.. total after tip $238

My friends uncle owns this place. It has been in business for a number if years. Went there the other day with a group from work and enjoyed myself.

The food is delicious!

Excellent dinner, Ceasars salad too Blah lacking dressing. Good portions and service was great.

One of the few experiences where the owner is very engaged and involved in customer satisfaction

Dining at The Purple Pear was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the owners personal attention made us feel truly welcomed. The Ribeye, cooked to perfection, surpassed any steak Ive had elsewhere. Its tenderness and flavor were unmatched, making it a standout dish. My wifes Surf and Turf was equally delightful. The sides complemented our mains perfectly, adding to the overall satisfaction of the meal. The attentive service and warm atmosphere enhanced our dining experience, leaving us thoroughly impressed. Despite being a regular at other renowned steakhouses, The Purple Pear exceeded our expectations. With appetizers, desserts, and drinks, the total value for such a delightful meal was reasonable. Without hesitation, I highly recommend The Purple Pear, earning it a well-deserved rating of 4.5 out of 5. Parking: Depending on the time you may or may not need to pay

Victor is so very attentive and goes beyond, we had another fantastic dinner with gray friends the food was delicious but most of all happy birthday Tivi your only 16 lol

Was one of the best meals I have ever had

Food was so tasty and delicious! 10/10

Once again the purple pear was amazing. The service and food is absolutely delicious with reasonable prices. The food not only taste great but comes in such large portions - between the quality and portion size you really get your value. Cant wait to go back!

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem that everyone needs to experience. I highly recommend you start off your dinner with the French onion and soup delicious

I ve been eating at Purple Pear for more than 10 years, food is always excellent.

Had a dinner with the family here on a busy Friday night. Staff are attentive. For appetizers we had calamari we thought was ok. The breading was very loose and the dipping sauce (a balsamic reduction) to be very sweet and acidic. For my main I had the Orange Ginger Salmon Fillet. Salmon fillet was cooked perfectly and crispy. The orange sauce is well done and a nice combination with the fish. The side roasted veggies were good enough. I didnt enjoy the spinach and squash puree. The pear shaped croquettes are creative but bland.

Great food and excellent service

We love the purple pear!!!. This year we made it to their new years eve dinner. It was fabulous. They had live soft music in the background as we ate. Then they came out with a bottle of champagne for each table, hats, horns, and feathers. It was a nice surprise. I had the shrimp to start then the rack of lamb. Delicious. Cheese cake in phylo pastry was delicious as well. Congrats Victor. Another great evening.

I like this place. The food is delicious and the service is fantastic. It has a cozy atmosphere I like.

New Years dinner there was terrific. Excellent food and generous portions. Service was superb in one of Hamiltons landmarks.

Had our 25th Wedding Anniversary here and the food and service was AMAZING!! The owner is so helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend this restaurant

First time customer this evening with good friends. The staff were attentive and always checking in with us. The food was reasonably priced. My NY strip loin was tasty, the French onion soup was tasty. Will definitely be a returning customer. Parking: We parked on the road.

I love the purple pear. have never had a bad experience

This was a really nice place. The service is great Parking: We will be going back soon Food : 5/5 |

Been here a few times . Always a perfect experience.

Best meal we have ever had! First time there and will definitely be going back.

We had dinner tonight with another couple. We have eaten there a few times on wagjag deals. This time we ordered off the menu instead and we were pleasantly surprised at how delicious the meals were for everyone. Compliments to Victor and his staff for making the evening a wonderful experience. Definitely recommend this classic location called the purple pear to anyone. Should be called the golden pear of Hamilton .

A quiet, quaint, and ambient atmosphere with great service and superior quality meals (including their signature drinks and meals)! Their lashed potatoe side dish is shaped like a pear, and it totally delightful! Will definitely come by again. Parking: Its paid street parking (limited parking space), which apparently is free on Sundays. Theres also a side street that leads to the back of the building, and I guess parking there is free

We had such a fabulous night and delicious dinner. The food was amazing and the service wonderful! Victor was a fabulous host. The French onion soup was a meal in itself! Our steaks were all perfect and the jalapeño cheddar biscuits were fabulous!.We will definitely return!

Decent, but in opinion not great. Just my opinion.

What a amazing place first time here tonight will definitely be back again food was awesome the best seafood chowder since i left Ireland many years ago .Slainte

We visited Thursday this week. What a wonderful experience. Food flavour, temp and portion were great. Cost was extreamly reasonable. Staff and owner were funny and made our experience. We found this place during the lockdown and did takeout a few times. This was our first in person experience. We will be bac!

What a wonderful meal! My husband and I usually frequent the chain steak restaurants but decided to dine somewhere local. We are so happy we did! The old school atmosphere was enjoyable. Our food was delectable. We ordered the filet and the surf and turf. Melt in your mouth! The French onion soup was well presented and delicious. For dessert we had the Apple strudel and the chocolate cake. 10:10 meal. Highly recommend.

Quite honestly I had i hopes for this place, going in with an open mind and a love for pasta. Staff are friendly and overall service was great other than the very dated system they still use (we had to go up to the bar to pay for our food) service was quick but overall I felt the food and general space is also quite dated and has a mid-upscale 80s style restaurant. The dishes we had seemed very homestyle family recipe like. The sauces were bland (I had a rose) and felt like it came from a can from the grocery store. The baked Camembert appetizer we had chose (although better than the pasta) left me wanting something more from it, pairing it with bread didn t leave me satisfied enough. I found a hair in my spinach and ricotta rotollo but didn t say anything although after seeing the bill I wish I had. Almost knocked back and astonished at the price for the entire experience. I understand prices change with time and inflation but I would at least hope the menu would to. Still I see why it s a family loved place as the costumer base was mostly elderly and you could tell that they had been coming since the beginning. In closing if your looking for the best bang for your buck I suggest trying Caro over on Main Street. Similar price, modern, sheek dining area. you really can tell how much better the quality of food is and how much time and hard work they spend on every detail. The plating is next level, the food itself has deep complex flavours that compliment each plate individually and the variety is spectacular.

This is a Favourite Place to dine in Hamilton, Ontario. We like to go with friends but my wife and I went out for my birthday, just us. Reservations are recommended. The meals here are consistently exceptional. Not open Mondays or Tuesdays. The wine and mixed drinks are reasonably priced. The Onion Soup and Shrimp Cocktail are excellent. Parking: Parking lot at rear of restaurant but lots of street parking.

Great food at very reasonable prices. This should be a regular spot for anyone.

The striploin medium rare is perfect. Croquettes potato And the dessert was prolific pastry with icecream and chocolate sauce. The service was polite, attentive and a friendly atmosphere. My only critique would be the lighting. It is quite dim. So depending who you go with, please keep this in mind. Thank you, Parking: Parking is located out back or beside.

Very nice vibe and a favourite with customers-I could tell. Our caesar salads were excellent. But, the pork tenderloin was tough and unappetizing. Rather than roasted pork, it was a flattened patty of meat. Service was good. Its not a place Ill frequent, but it was a pleasant evening out with friends.

Me and the wife tried this restaurant yesterday. We split a half a bottle of wine. I ate the gnocchi and she had the supreme chicken. Both were fantastic. Cooked to perfection. Service was excellent. The price for the entrees were reasonable. The restaurant was pretty busy considering we were there when the opened at 5, seems like a lot of regulars were there which is ways a good sign. Overall, its good food and service for a restaurant of this type especially considering the price point. I would recommend it.

My wife and I took my parents here for their anniversary. We were pleased with the service, food, and atmosphere and wouldn t hesitate to recommend or go back!

This is absolutely the best restaurant in Hamilton. Food service and value A+++

Went here for my grandmothers birthday last week and she hasn t stopped raving about it since! It s very hard to find a place she enjoys, and even harder to find somewhere she approves of the bread but their french stick was to die for! The food was absolutely mouthwatering. The new york strip was full of flavour & juice and cooked perfectly. The staff was incredibly attentive and constantly refilling water. The inside is very well decorated and you ll find there s a common theme Dietary restrictions: Accommodated my mothers gluten intolerance.

Look at the 5 stars....its good Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp to get your wheelchair in and out. All good inside except the washroom, a bit tight.rge dining room has ample space for the chair. We have brought a wheelchair here for years without any issue. Victor is very accommodating

Excellent atmosphere, food, service, portions and prices. We always enjoy going to this restaurant. One of my favourites. Thanks to the staff for and owner for a great evening. Dietary restrictions: Im on Keto. They adjusted the plate to my needs. My friends too.

Wonderful fine dining with a gracious host. Best martini in Hamilton!

I had the Fehttuchini Alfredo with chicken and it was delicious. The Caesar salad was equally as good. Staff were friendly. The interior is a little outdated and needs to be redone. Great place!

A hidden gym. Victor runs it beautifully. I like to come here once or twice a year to grab dinner with a friend or my wife. No complaints.

Popped in on a Thursday afternoon and was really taken by the decor and atmosphere, it felt romantic and almost time transporting, I felt weird picking up my phone lol, had what I imagine the vibe of Vesuvio in The Sopranos had. Service was wonderful, we had a few different wait staff help us and they were all very lovely and kind, we ordered the Fettucine Alfredo and the Sea Food Linguine, both were delicious. Highly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Purple Pear, and I must say that it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked through the doors, our server Victor warmly welcomed us with a genuine smile and an eagerness to make our evening exceptional. The Purple Pear, with its elegant ambiance and tasteful decor, created an inviting atmosphere that instantly transported us into a world of culinary delight. The dimly lit dining area, adorned with purple accents, exuded a sense of sophistication without feeling pretentious. Now, lets talk about the star of the evening: the food. The menu at Purple Pear offered a fusion of flavors, masterfully crafted to please even the most discerning palates. The dishes were a delightful blend of innovation and tradition, with each plate presenting a culinary work of art. The attention to detail in the presentation was truly remarkable. Victor, our server, stood out as the epitome of professionalism and friendliness. He effortlessly guided us through the menu, offering insightful recommendations and ensuring that each course was served at the perfect pace. His knowledge of the ingredients and preparation methods truly showcased his passion for gastronomy. Victors ability to strike a perfect balance between attentiveness and giving us space to enjoy our meal was truly commendable. Throughout the evening, Victor went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and preferences. His attention to detail was evident in his timely refills of our water glasses and his genuine interest in ensuring our satisfaction. He exuded a warmth and enthusiasm that made us feel truly valued as guests. The culinary journey at Purple Pear was nothing short of extraordinary. From the delicate flavors of the appetizers to the mouthwatering main courses and the heavenly desserts, every bite left us wanting more. The attention given to sourcing fresh, high-quality ingredients was evident in every dish. To top it all off, the restaurants impeccable service extended beyond our interactions with Victor. The entire staff worked harmoniously to create an unforgettable dining experience. The seamless coordination between the kitchen and the waitstaff was a testament to the restaurants commitment to excellence. In conclusion, Purple Pear is a hidden gem that deserves to be experienced by anyone seeking a truly exceptional dining experience. With its exquisite food, enchanting ambiance, and the exceptional service provided by Victor and the entire staff, Purple Pear has undoubtedly become one of my favorite restaurants. Whether youre celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for an extraordinary culinary adventure, Purple Pear is the place

The best seafood/steak house with wonderful service!

I went on a Thursday evening for dinner around 6:30. First time at this establishment. Place wasnt busy. Ambiance was 10/10. Food was delicious. Ordered a medium rib eye and it was cooked perfectly as the . Will go again for sure.

Not impressed

Had an awesome food experience. Delicious I went as a guest for my nieces wedding dinner.

Tasty hot meals! Very nice atmosphere as well. Thanks.

The food was a little dry. The service was slow The atmosphere was great Food : 4/5

This was the best steak I have ever had ! Quality was first class. Will definitely return. Prices are reasonable. Highly recommend for a quality meal.

Nice restaurant with good food and service.

Food was over cook and service was slow.

We enjoy dining at the Purple Pear. The restaurant staff give splendid service. The atmosphere is very traditional, nothing bright and flashy. The menu has much to choose from. My choice was chicken parmesan with pasta. It was superb!

Over the top for food and price ...the owner Victor and his family are awesome !!! This is our special place to go....

Great food and staff.

Super friendly staff. Unfortunately, maybe due to being super busy, the food was sub par and cooked ro specifications

Husband and I moved in nearby and have been meaning to check this place out. We were the first couple of the evening and the restaurant was very cute and cozy. We ordered the calamari, seafood chowders and the chicken parmigiana and seafood linguine. We didn t know about the bread basket (with the delicious cheese biscuits) so by the time we had the bread, calamari and our seafood chowders we were almost full. This is a testament to their very generous portions. The seafood chowder was the superstar of the evening. So chunky and hearty. Our mains were absolutely delicious, portions were respectable and whatever we couldn t get through - our waiter had kindly wrapped for us in a to go box. Leftovers were just as good reheated!!! By the time we were ready to leave, the restaurant became a lot more lively with what looked like dedicated regulars. Definitely will be making this a spot for date nights.

The food was fantastic, and the staff were lovely. Will be back for sure! The prices are also really good for the food

Absolutely amazing food and outstanding service. This is a must visit if your in the city.

We ordered takeout from them. Even in spite of that, it was excellent. Good prices too. My wife had the steak, I had the salmon. Definitely worth an in house visit.

Service is poor, food quality is poor, waited twenty minutes just to leave. Punishing.

Last night we dined with friends at the Pear. As always we were not disappointed. Even though the restaurant was full, the service was great and the food arrived piping hot. Delicious and beautifully presented. Our friends were impressed! Thanks Victor.

One of the best places of our trip. Classic, traditional style restaurant, with a very attentive staff and very good service. Nice music and atmosphere. We ordered lobster, mussels and seafood pasta and everything was delicious. The pasta is incredible, but the rest of the dishes are also highly recommended. Without a doubt a great discovery that I recommend 100%.

Exceptional food and service

Good people good food 5star

Went to The Purple Pear not knowing what to expect but was blown away. Went for anniversary dinner and was glad we did. Every bite was delicious and the service was at the right amount. Victor and his team will take you on a food voyage you will never forget. Cant wait to go back so keep a seat warm for us Victor! RUN TO THE PURPLE PEAR...YUM!!!!

Excellent food and service

I finally made it to this Hamilton gem and it completely lived up to the hype. Step back into the 80 s and let Victor and his amazing staff take care of you. Food and service is absolutely outstanding.

Delicious and perfectly cooked food. Was amazing

Excellent meal as always

Friendly staff..very cool atmosphere..good menu choices and prices are very reasonable

Parking was good and I found it relitive

Amazing food and service, just dated needs natural light and loose the carpet

Great service and delicious food. Definitely going back. Owner is awesome.

Did our wedding anniversary dinner here and we enjoyed it immensely. The ambiance reminds you that this is a classic and historical staple in Hamilton region, established in the mid 90s and continues to impress area residents today. Everything was really tasty from the starters to the cappuccino at the end. Really loved our experience and Victor (the Owner) was a great host and did a great job checking in and making sure we were happy with the service here. Food was amazing A++, just wanted to reiterate this important fact

Amazing... Hamilton Hidden Gem... The hospitality was A+...

Overall we enjoyed our meal. A couple flaws in the way some of the meat was cooked (rare) that staff was happy to correct. We felt the prices were quite reasonable for both food and drink. If I were to visit again I would order a simple steak dinner cooked medium. The sides that came with it were delicious.

Everything was amazing! Never disappointed

I have to say I have not been to the purple pear for 5 years, tonight I went and all I can say is OMG, we all enjoyed every bite , we loved the owners charm and our waitress was great. I would recommend it to all to try They all get at ten, hats off to the chef,

Excellent food and service. Would definitely recommend and go back

Definitely 5* service...Awesome service...Awesome food and no last Awesome staff and owner!

Our party of 4 all really enjoyed their meals. We each had a different entre with appetizers and everything was equally delicious. The owner and staff are all extremely friendly and welcoming.

Victor always remembers me and my family, its such a cozy place and make you feel like family. The food?!! The food is amazing! Personally I love it better than the Keg by far!!

Excellent as usual!

Excellent food and prices

Ate there last night my steak was awesome staff was amazing .. a great place for a amazing meal.!!

First time there food was good there was an episode with a gentleman and an ambulance had to come!! Food was good though

The food was good! Service was unfortunately really slow and seemed disorganized at times.

Pretty bad steak. Staff is great. Wag jag deal so maybe we got poor quality meat?

My BFF took me for my Birthday & we loved the meals we ordered. It was very delicious, appealing & very generous portions. They even gave me a delicious Birthday desert on the house. The atmosphere is lovely. The Owner Victor was such a fun pleasant Man, the Waitress was so pleasant & efficient. The Service & Food was Fantastic. The Purple Pear Is our new Go to place. Definitely recommend.

We celebrated my husband s 60th birthday absolutely amazing food and Victor made us feel like family we definitely will be back .

Great restaurant. Old world environment t. Food beautifully presented. Great professional service. No pretension. Lovely for a date out or special event. Great value

Even though you cant dine in -- the take out is absolutely delicious. This might become our Friday tradition. Thanks Victor for an absolutely fantastic dinner.

The service was great...the food was awesome..highly recommended dinner experience

Our 11th Anniversary .The Salmon dinner was superb. The Camberet was so tasty crusted with crushed walnuts with strawberry. Creme Brulee was tasty with a thin layer . Waitress was friendly and excellent and did not hover but checked on us. Owner Vince was great; friendly and accommodating. Definitely we will be back

Fine dinning paired with exceptional customer service made for a fantastic meal last night.

Love the Purple Pear! The food is amazing, prices are exceptional, and the staff is friendly! This is a hidden gem in Hamilton that everyone must try!

Food was amazing, service was impeccable. Was there for our anniversary. All staff were friendly and left you felling well taken care of. The atmosphere is like you stepped back in time, with older music and decor, but dont let that stop you. Youll be well fed and not feel like your being rushed to eat and get out of there. Thanks for the wonderful evening, we will definitely come back.

Best fine dinning in Hamilton. Great service and your belly and taste buds will be very happy.

Amazing atmosphere, soft music in the background to where it was nice and romantic, staff exceptional, food is phenomenal, couldnt make up my mind what I wanted for a drink and our waitress made me a drink that wasnt on the menu and it was really good ended up having 2 of them, owner is hands on and makes sure that your enjoying yourself, Amazing night from start to end, my boyfriend and I will be a returning customer

Great Food.. .Great People....Very Reasonably Priced !

First time there last night..it was a very special important night for a birthday...WOW.. could not think in my wildest dreams of a better night..8 of us were served to perfection and the food is so great no words can describe it..I will inever go anywhere else for a special night or even for just a great meal our

Found this gem of a restaurant last night. The ambiance and friendliness of the staff was exceptional. Food was fantastic. There were four of us and not one complaint about anything. We will definitely be back.

Victor and staff always provide a great dinning experience

Food and service was amazing, attention to detail was outstanding. Highly recommend this gem for any occasion from a romantic evening to a group function. The owner Victor took the time to ensure a wonderful experience.

Been there a few times. Absolutely loved it. Even did take out once. Highly recommend. Food amazing. Service amazing. Cant wait to go again.

Can t believe I ve never left a review for this restaurant. We ve been here many times, and the food is always great , as is the service. The prices are very reasonable - Victor and his team should be commended for creating a great experience.

Great food with old school atmosphere, prices are ok to the expensive side tho.

Quaint and quiet little steakhouse nestled on Barton St. The inside of the steakhouse, mostly adorned with pear imagery and a startling lack of purple, was well maintained if a bit dated. The internal atmosphere, intimately lit with candles around vintage wooden furniture gives a cozy vibe immediately that is fortified moreso by the owner and servers attention to detail. While active on the floor the owner was helpful and insightful on the menu while maintaining his charismatic and welcoming demeanor throughout the whole night. The filet was well cooked at rare and was served alongside roughages and a garlic mash. The bacon paired with the filet could have been cooked more and as such had a slight rubbery texture. The house white was good while the house red received good reception from the whole table. All in all, a great experience that helped to grant a better idea of why this competent restaurant has lasted long enough to be a Hamilton staple.

Very nice establishment

A lovely birthday dinner in a warm welcoming spot! We enjoyed King crab, steak and lobster tail, steak and seafood linguini, along with some delicious wines.

Good fine dinning

Great food. Good service. Atmosphere and decor is pretty dated. Prices are fair to a little high depeding on what you order. Wait staff are good except very dressed down.

At first looks like what ever ...you go inside has a hint of old school romantic classy dinning ... You order the food and the food looks even better in person taste so good ... Hands down will go back again we went twice in a two day period and food was consistent and very good ... Service was great and dessert was amazing I have nothing bad to say at all ... Seating is a lil tight but busy amazing place I recommend you call first to reserve.

Great place, good service and good prices.

This was for a milestone birthday gathering. The food was delicious. However the service was not very attentive. Guests received wrong orders or completly missed. Not very friendly. Most unfortunate.

Beautiful restaurant with superb service and quality food I highly recommend this place.

Love this place one of Hamiltons best kept secrets - you should make it a point to try this place you wont be disappointed - I had the filet mignon and lobster tail. It was cooked to perfection. My fiance had the lemon chicken with shrimp and scallops we also had shrimp cocktail for an appetizer Everything was fantastic. Highly recommend this place

The food was amazing. Pasta was al dente and chicken was flavourful and juicy. My girlfriend loved her mussels said it was tasty and fresh. But above the great food was the service. Staff went above and beyond making us feel comfortable with great service and even offered up complimentary bread and olives for us. Had a great time. Highly recommend!

The food was delicious. The staff were f friendly. They didnt try and rush you it the door and the atmosphere was really nice.

Highly recommend this restaurant. My boyfriend and I went in with a WagJag gift card, and with gift cards Ive come to realize that some restaurant tend to skimp out on your meal, not the Purple pear tho. I was blown away with their potions, presentation and the taste. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The only bad thing about this restaurant is I only just now discovered it this year!

Food was excellent and so was the service. Would defenitly go again..

100% loved this place!! The food was absolutely amazing!!

The Purple Pear is hands down the best restaurant we have been to since John Peel in Brantford closed. Everything was fantastic from surf and turf to the drinks! We visited before COVID so hopefully they are still the same and continue to make people feel welcome..on that note, the prelude to a great evening there is when you enter the door and they already know your name..fantastic service!

Food is amazing! Service is personal and friendly. Great atmosphere. Thanks Victor.

Great service awesome liver Good prices

Awesome food. Classic. Excellent professional staff. Really good value for quality.

Great service, food was awesome...and the portions were huge. I would highly recommend the Purple Pear!

Much nicer inside than out! Comfortable setting. Menue was varied and prices attractive. Service was very attentive and food very good.

Great food . Reasonable prices. Wide range of menu choices especially entrees. Always courteous service.

A great choice for our anniversary dinner. Food was amazing. Atmosphere was perfect and the staff were very attentive and friendly.

We had an exceptional experience here on Saturday! Service was excellent, better than most places. And the food was incredible. I was a bit skeptical before we got there, based on location, how good this place would be, but We would most definitely return. 5 stars all around! 4 of us has the New York steak and we all loved every bite. 1 person had lamb and he said it was amazing. 1 chicken parm that was also great. The only meal that wasnt getting rave reviews was the salmon - but it was still good.

What a surprise! It may not look like much at all from the outside, but once you step inside the service is absolutely second to none, so friendly, willing to spend time answering any questions, or not. Food is delicious, really, delicious! I love heading out to James North but if you want a change, and want to feel like family, not to mention save some money, come here, you will not regret it. This will become a place we come back to, no question.

My one friend raved about this place, but I didn t find it that special. Food was good, not great. The restaurant is also very outdated and needs to be updated. Reasonable prices though

First timers, my wife and I both loved the meals we had ordered. Both steaks were cooked to perfection. Potatoes and vegetables were very nice. Like in most places the wine was excellent. We will be back for sure and bringing friends, and service was very fast and friendly.

Awesome place. The food is always delicious and the people are really friendly.

Delicious! Will definitely go back

Good food and service!

I tried this place using a Groupon and it was absolutely excellent. Fabulous filet mignon with lovely fresh vegetables and great service.

Great lamb chops and good service. The place could use a facelift.

Great food wonderful staff the owner Victor is always friendly and helpful

Hands down the best surf and turf in the city! And the owner is the kindest host ever!

Great food reasonably priced. Plenty of parking in the rear.

Lovely upscale atmosphere, great food with reasonable prices

Good food, decent prices....service was a bit slow but considering there was only 2 people working and a table of 6 I get it.

Never had a bad meal, ever. And the service was great!

Great food, gone several times. Sometimes there are great WagJag deals for date nights!

Great atmosphere and great food.

Staff were friendly albeit a bit disorganized, and the restaurant seemed understaffed for the number of patrons. Table of three with a reservation and we had to wait about 40 minutes from greeting to receiving our menus.

Excellent steak house. Look for their deals on WagJag. They treat you like you are family and the food is above the normal. I had a New York steak and it was delicious. Others in our party had liver & onions and said it was the best that they have ever had...On street parking but there seems to be always a spot. A great place for a party, the night we were there most of the tables were of groups of 6 or more. We were a party of 10 and they made it an enjoyable evening.

Great food. Delicious and flavorful. Our bonus was the waiter, he was just hilarious and took care of our needs

Very overpriced, outdated, staff was not friendly. I ordered pork tenderloin and I got a breaded pork cutlet. Flavor was okay but dry and not what I was anticipating for the price.

I like the quiet relaxed atmosphere. The food is fantastic. Staff are excellent. .

Service was very slow but the food was good

Always good food

Has to be the best steak around! Wonderful service, great atmosphere!

Excellent service and even better food

Presentation and quality of food!

Great food, wonderful old world ambience and terrific service. All added up to a enjoyably fun evening with friends! Proprietor Victor is a wonderful host. He made us feel very welcome. We will be back soon! 10++++

This restuarant is a favourite of ours! We picked this location to host a friends christmas dinner and as always the food was delicious. The owner was even able to accommodate our friends allergy. We were able to catch up with friends and in no way felt rushed by the staff. The hospitality that the staff and owner showed us is hard to find at other places. We will definitely be coming back soon!

Excellent and the owner is incredible
