Reviews
I have been by this little place soooo many times when I was riding by on my train ( locomotive engineer ) now retired so there is time for us to explore new places.
We enjoyed our time and meal here A LOT!!! We had pizza and a very good Ceasat salad!! Was absolutely delicious. Tim was our waiter. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great time here and will be back to try other dishes. Highly recommend!!

TLDR: Fake-luxury, not-so-fine-dining.
Place presents itself as being luxurious and charges accordingly. The napkins are made of paper (not exactly what you’d expect from a fine dining restaurant), the cutlery looks like it was bought from a garage sale (none of it matches), the bread is clearly not fresh and is definitely store-bought plain white bread (most good Italian restaurants give you fresh bread and don’t charge, here you don’t even get it warm).
The waitresses aren’t pleasant at all, ironically the tattooed and somewhat intimidating male waiter, is by far the nicest person here.
The atmosphere is nice outside, but our table looked like a dog chewed it. None of the food was good, veal was overcooked and the salad the dirty butt of the lettuce included (which begs the question if it was ever cleaned?)

This place is a hidden gem with absolutely lovely service. I stumbled upon it today and was blown away by how kind and polite the older couple serving me were, as well as how yummy looking and beautifully decorated all the cakes were! I ended up getting a DELICIOUS 8" chocolate raspberry cake for my partner's birthday at a very reasonable price. The owners went above and beyond for me at such short notice and even gave me a sample for a different item as I waited. Thank you so much for the incredible experience! I will definitely be back!
Beautiful and delicious gluten free cake from Gateau de Henry! We ate it so quickly! Will definitely order again. They also had gluten free cake by the slice when I stopped by and some regular cakes for purchase. They need a few days notice for custom cakes. Sandwiches and Korean Bulgogi and Bibimbap also available. (Note: cake photo modified to remove name on cake)
Persian Palace is a top-notch business! Their service is amazing, and their prices are very fair. I appreciate their honesty and expertise, and I'll use them again for future needs!
I've had an amazing experience with Persian Palace! Their service is prompt, reliable, and affordable. I'll definitely use them again for future events!
Persian Palace exceeded my expectations! Their service is outstanding, and their team is professional and courteous. I highly recommend them for any catering or event needs!
Mona Lisa Restaurant consistently offers delicious food which is why it is on my list of favourite places to dine! We always start with an order (or two) of the Pane Fritto. On this particular visit, these fluffy dough pillows were well seasoned but not so fluffy. They were a bit tough, and a little dried out. They were still very tasty even though the texture wasn’t the best. Caesar salad was very good. For our main dishes we ordered Chicken Parmigiana, Lasagna, and Spinach Cannelloni, and all 3 were delicious! Portion sizes were very satisfying and therefore no room for dessert! Highly recommend making a reservation, especially now that they have downsized.
We recently had the privilege of holding a memorial dinner at the Persian Palace and were truly impressed. The service provided by the staff was exceptional, and the food was amazing. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every guest had a memorable experience. The food was great and presentable. I am incredibly grateful to Persian Palace for their outstanding service and for creating a memorable evening to honour my father-in-law. I highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion or event.
The cake 8 inch about $60 so it’s reasonable price. The cake is beautiful and presentation is good . The customer service is really good.
The cream on the cake was very nice and fresh the sponge part is light and moist. Also not too sweet. I think it might be gluten free there wasn’t much density. However the sponge cake has clumps of sugar some parts really sugary when I bit into it

I picked up a cake for my son's 18th Birthday earlier this week.
He wanted to try Oreo cheesecake.
Besides it's looking amazing, it tasted so delicious!
I never write reviews or like cakes for that matter, but this cake deserved the recognition!
Now my younger son wants a red velvet cake for his upcoming birthday.
Customer service was great and pleasant.
Will be back soon.

Always enjoy coming here for dinner. The service is great, the food is fresh, and the signature cocktails change often!
Saw the bad reviews and I was worried the burrito would be bad . The customer service was good and patient. the burrito was filling
We choose Persian palace for our wedding, and I’m so beyond happy about everything they offered us. Mr Behrang was an absolute help, and his understanding management and communication was everything we needed. The food , their timing, and staff was incredible.
Most importantly I would like to take a moment and talk about Mr. Reza who designed our flower arrangement. He made a bridal bouquet that I couldn’t asked for any better. Our head table, sofreye aghd was so beautiful, I left everything on their hand from the day one we choose them for our most important day and I knew it would turned great but honestly they went beyond and above for everything, their understanding , help and kindness was everything we needed as a newlywed, we are absolutely grateful for all of their services and of course we recommend them to whoever is looking for a classy, friendly,cozy wedding.

This place is amazing! I tried two different cakes: sweet potato & red velvet and they were both delicious. Their cakes are slightly less sweet than the ones from other bakeries. Perfect for people who find desserts too sweet in general!
Sweetest couple ever. The cakes are fantastic. We tried the matcha chiffon, carrot cake, black forest and sweet potato cake (picture) and they were all fantastic. She even included some meringues in the box.
I have booked one month in advance for 4 people for New Year Eve. They charged me all the money in cash and when we came there.
They said you have to sit at a table shared with 8-10 more people.
That is because they were overbooked and they sticked together.
It's like a funeral in Iran.
I don't suggest you all to reserve and eat in this restaurant. I have 2 guest from the U.S and that was terrible for us.

Dec 5 2023 5:15pm. 20 minutes for a chicken quesadilla. No staff in the kitchen while we were waiting. Ridiculous. Mediocre al pastor tacos and inedible refried beans and spanish rice. Weird minty taste to it.
Mixed feelings about this, I grabbed two Gringo Style Vegetarian Bowls on a BOGO offer which came to $33 bucks which is insanity. The taste and flavor of the food mainly was pretty dope but nowhere near the value for money and seems to be consistent from other people's reviews too.
Grub wasn't too bad, but the vegan chicken was not seasoned and super bland. All in all, I would have expected more given the price and therefore can't give it higher than a three star.
I totally dig the paper packaging and compostable utensils which were rad.

I only need 2 words to describe this place: Rip 👏 Off 👏 You pay $6 for a single taco, and should you want steak as your protein or guac as a topping, be prepared to pony up even more money. But wait, it gets even worse: there is barely any topping choices to begin with. Meat is also luke-warm and dry as bone. Everything else is ice cold. One piece of cheese I ate was near frozen! They should get an award for the worst tacos in B.C 👎
I was craving churros.
The tiny churros were priced at $5.25+tax, which I found a bit expensive.
The flavour was okay, but I don't recommend purchasing them as they aren't worthwhile.

I planned my best friend's wedding in persian palace recently. my best Regards to managment group (Tahmineh and Behrang) for their professional and kind cooperation! I have to add a very special thanks to Reza, the florist of Persian palace, for his convenient price and awesome work as you can see his work in the pictures.
Thanks a lot to all the staff of persian palace, you are amazing guys🖐
DJ Payam knowledge of different type of traditional music, from different cultures is great. He did his best to keep the party warm and pleasant.
Hope to see you in more happy events in future 🌹

Amazing food and service. Appetizers, salads, entree all perfect. Server made us feel like we were part of the family. Excellent dining experience!
We’re still here! Even when they were short staffed tonight, the service with literally 2 people was amazing. They had a big group party, a smaller group and another couple besides us and they did amazing! I’m a well controlled Type 2 diabetic and they customized my cocktails so I can enjoy them without the sugar spike later. The steak frites and spicy beef nachos that my fiancé and I shared were delicious! Cooked and spiced perfectly! No pics of the steak frites because we INHALED those before I could take a picture lmaooo.
Tried Boar for the first time here it was fantastic, they also have Elk to try too. Their specials of the day are fantastic. Had a great server too. The only downside to the food was they put spicy sauce on almost everything so if you have low tolerance to spice make sure to ask that they don't put it on. The place was cozy and had comfortable chairs. However, there was no AC. It was incredibly hot in the restaurant, very uncomfortable. Also note the cheesecake is not actually NY style it's more along the lines of Japanese cheesecake.
I’m happy to have dined at an Italian restaurant which has certificate of authenticity by government of Italy 🇮🇹! I ordered Gnocchi Al Tartufo but Gnocchi ran out so I got it substituted with Capellini. Then had a tiramisu. Finally tried a cappuccino with amaretto and topped it all off with a pistachio gelato. Cappuccino, gelato, wines were awesome, service was wonderful, ambience was spectacular (I sat outside, Al-fresco)!!! However the pasta dish and tiramisu were just okay, because the taste was bland! They mention the use of truffle oil but I could not smell it or taste it in the dish…moreover the tiramisu was dry and had a very subtle hint of espresso; so these dishes should have been flavourful for the appreciation!
This banquet is very professional and experienced in delivering luxurious and high end events. The staff was professional and well trained. Food was delicious and well served. Reasonable price. They have 2 large salons. I didn't see any weakness in their work. I would definitely take my next event there.
Truly amazing! Visiting from Toronto and stopped by, it was well worth it. The happiest owners, and delicious smelling shop. I got the sweet potato cake, which was very unique, and sampled the red velvet. The most perfect amount of sweetness and texture, and the best cream cheese frosting I’ve ever had (I don’t usually like frosting but this was so good.) If I wasn’t just visiting I’d buy a whole cake to take home to share with my family for sure. They also do cute little gift boxes. Thank you!
A warm, inviting cafe with friendly owners and tasty treats!
I've been to this cafe on three separate occasions, and was always welcomed warmly. The bibimbap is delicious and the portions are generous. The cakes and dessert are wonderful, never too heavy or too sweet. I'd recommend the mango and or the blueberry cheesecake, the carrot cake, the Belgian chocolate cake and or the tiramisu (basically everything I've had so far has been great). You also often get a little cake sample, which is lovely (who doesn't love free cake?!)
The cafe is clean, and the general atmosphere is peaceful and warm. There is also complimentary WiFi in the cafe, so great if you need to get a bit of work done.
I highly recommend 😊

I had a steak burrito for lunch from here. I must admit I'm disappointed. The steak which is an extra $1 was dry and to be honest the whole burrito was pretty bland. No real spicy options either. I'd recommend not going to chronic tacos
Got my order wrong making a long wait longer. Expensive ($24 for 3 tacos). Not happy with the value, the fish was small. That's not $24 worth of food, even if I wanted tacos. Had to roll the first taco back into its shell. They tasted good. But I shouldn't have gone to A&W.
This is SO sad.
During the height of Covid19 The North Fork was our “Go To” for fresh and tasty comfort food of high quality.
We don’t know what’s happened.
We watched their rating steadily decline from 4.8 to 4.1 on Uber Eats.
We saw a Fish and Chip special Today. We added a piece of fish. That including delivery tip cost $27.
Look at how this was delivered.
It looks like beige slop.
Coleslaw = TON of onions and very little cabbage, carrots. Over dressed and just plopped down. Not in a separate container and 2 Tablespoons is considered a “side”.
French Fries = Soggy. Sad. No seasoning.
Fish = More Batter than Whitefish. Again no seasoning.
Delivery Driver = Wrong House. No Communication. New. Didn’t Care. Didn’t Apologize.
It’s SO sad. We loved their mussels special and were working our way through their menu. But, we noticed in the early spring their delivery service started messing up orders. Now the food is just as bad.
We will not order again. Nor will we ever eat inside their restaurant either.

I can’t say enough great things about my experience at the North Fork! The food and service was amazing. We had the bruschetta, fish and chips, elk burger with Parmesan fries, and a chicken club with vegetables. Emma was an amazing server. You should definitely check out the North Fork! I love the elk burger and garlic parm fries and I can’t wait to eat it again soon.
It was a slow night for the restaurant, and having never been here before I was optimistic with what to expect.
Our server was fantastic. He engaged us in conversation throughout our meal and made us feel welcome .
I thoroughly enjoyed my Elk burger. Added wild boar bacon to it....just delicious.
My family was full and we were satisfied with everything the restaurant had to offer.
Come down to King Street and support your local restaurants.
We will return .

Not bad for a quick taco fix.
I ordered a fish burrito. A good three-five minute wait for fresh fish I don’t mind. The fish could use more flavor, and my rice is a little hard, not sure if it was under cooked or dried out. There was some bits of the cabbage that was hard to get through. Also the coldness of the guacamole was turn off in contrast of the other hot toppings.
They have a good system to keep the line going, having one person per duty.
I haven’t been back in years, not as flavourful as I remembered, but I’m willing to go back.

Warm atmosphere; had the chance to meet one of the owners on my first visit (I've since been back!) And enjoyed the wine selection (did I mention local wineries) very much. Found the muscles to be alright - much prefered the scallops - looking forward to trying other dishes on the menu! Good vibe, good people, local ingredients.
looks like this place was pretty newly opened - we weren’t sure what it would be like so we made reservations- it was dead - we were the only ones in there.
came here for dinner after a long day hiking in hamilton.
it was freezing cold - i’m glad i had my hoodie with me otherwise it would have been a very unpleasant experience.
drinks were relatively cheap i got a 9oz of white wine for a little over $9.
my sandwich was good - i liked the batter but the fish really had no flavour i was expecting it to be more like a haddock / fish filet type of taste.
the salad had just enough dressing it it.
the one thing i did like about this place is the graffiti inside!

We decided to try the North Fork, as it newly opened. I think Praveen has done a great job and North Fork will be a favorite of the Hamilton food scene. We started with Caesar salad. It was perfect. Too often the salad comes with too much dressing, this one has the perfect amount. It was fresh and delicious. This salad was accompanied by the scallops, which were perfectly done. I was surprised that no cocktail sauce was included but upon reflection it likely would have distracted from the delectable scallops. The seafood paella and hot wings were perfectly spiced. Not so hot to force you to gulp water, but enough to leave a tingle. While we were the only diners, the server Joe was attentive without being smothering. He was a pleasure. Chef Praveen did an outstanding job. Thank you we will be back.
Food was good but nothing out of this world. Pasta at bonfire is better and cheaper and Vera has better pizza... But the atmosphere was nice and patio was perfect for the summer day. Service was great. I am sad that I didn't go for the tiramisu for dessert.... next time I will definitely give it a try. Seafood pasta is a must try at this restaurant.
My very first time there, ordered the cured meat platter. The slices of meat selection were fatty, tasty, and flavorful. The olives, green and black, were what I expected: juicy and mouth watering. The pickled eggplant had a nice texture and was savory. The 🍞 was the only part which was not up to par with the rest of the elements on the plate. It was certainly not bad but not extraordinary either. The salmon portion was HuGe ;) although it somewhat looked not fully cooked. The only bite I had from the salmon made me wonder why I didn't ordered the 🐟 salmon.
