I'm not saying this is a bad place but I can't say it's a good place either. I just don't see the value. The food and atmosphere do not match up with the cost of the Meal. They aren't bad and the service wasn't either. Our meal Friday night was at La Cantina and that was amazing. I'm probably being... more
We were a group of 8, all running in Around The Bay, 30k road race. We had our pre race meal here. Delicious! I was really sorry I couldn't have a glass of wine with dinner because that would have made it perfect!
This is one of our must go to places in the Hamilton area. The title says it all. We have been here many times and we will still go there as often as possible.
Excellent service, equisite tasting food, beautiful ambience, fair prices and free parking. By far, this is Hamilton's best fine dining restaurant. Thank you Lo Presti's at Maxwell's staff for making our grandparents 60th anniversary a memorable experience.
Although there was 6 persons in our reservation and they made an accommodation for 3 at last minute, they did not miss a beat! What is considered to be one of the most busiest nights of the year definitely did not influence their standard of food and service. Our meals were spectacular as was the atmosphere. Kalipso is a gem... more
On my recent trip in Hamilton I had the experience the fine dining at o Presti's. With the start of the experience with the fine service ,leading up to the quality of the food presented. We had a large group which the restaurant didn't have a problem with keeping up to all of the request. Prices did range in the... more
Upon entering with our friends and regular patrons, we were treated like family from Terry and Kalipso and the rest of staff. The initimate dining areas provides a elegant and private experience. From the service, food and drinks were amazing. Perfect Cocktails, wonderful Ripasso wine all compliment the food. The Veal with Proscuttio was perfect and the Wild Mushroom Risotto... more
We were looking for a special venue to have our wedding dinner celebration for a small group of family and friends. As soon as we walked in we knew this was the place. Kalipso and Manning were wonderful helping us to plan our wedding ,so much so they gave us the Terrace Room and we decided to have the ceremony... more
Beautiful, elegant décor yet the atmosphere is not stuffy or overly formal. The owner and staff are warm and inviting make the dining experience very special. This restaurant ticks all the boxes from business dinner to family friendly to romantic dining. The prices are very reasonable and LOVE the fact they have an extensive list of wines for $32. The... more
In the city of Hamilton this is our favourite restaurant . To celebrate a special occasion it is always our first choice . The wait staff are efficient but do not hover. The menu is varied and there is always some lovely special . Tim and Terry are excellent chefs and I can say with all honesty we have never... more
Always a great experience. The food is superb and the atmosphere is wonderful. They always make you feel special.
From the time you walk in the door you are greeted by friendly staff. Maitre d' Werner adds a lovely formal air to the experience and is always very entertaining and engaging. The wait staff is very professional and accomodating. The food is out of this world! Chefs Tim and Terry will always go the extra mile for special requests.... more
LoPresti's at Maxwells is one of Hamilton's finest Restaurants. As much as it can be a formal affair, very relaxed dress code will also be accepted. The owners and servers go beyond with service but do not overdo. They are very attentive, yet do not hold over your table. Yet when you need them, they appear from nowhere.
The meals...

This year we moved our Christmas Lunch to Maxwell's. With great anticipation, I ordered the Perch lunch special. It was so overcooked and dry, I could not eat it. What a disappointment. Based on other reviews, maybe dinner is better?
We surprised my Wife for her birthday with the whole family showing up, we had a great time for 10 people including 4 children.
Food was great, but it took time to arrive, which would not have been an issue if it was all adults.
It is still my fav in Hamilton and we will be back again.
Superior service and food presentation. The restaurant is excellent for a a special occasion as it is laid out very nicely with extra touches - however a little expensive for every day.
Maxwells is hands down my favorite restaurant! From the impeccable service to the amazing food and atmosphere I absolutely love coming here! If you want to treat someone or even just feel like a treat yourself, this is the place! I have never been to a restaurant which truly treats their customers like family. I have come here for many... more
We like good restaurants. We try to eat at a restaurant on Trip Advisor's top 10 most of the time when we travel. We decided to try it at home and ended up at lo Presti's. It was superb. Mt husband had a Caesar salad and I had grilled calamari. He enjoyed the Caesar salad and my calamari was grilled... more
Impeccable service.
Wonderful table.
The L. Erie perch was possibly the best I ever had....the lunch special.
My mother and I took my niece for dinner the past Monday to lo Presti's and we were very impressed with everything. The antipasto and warm garlic bread, impeccable service, amazing food along with a lovely quiet place to celebrate a graduation made this evening very special.
I had mentioned when I made the reservation that we were celebrating a...

I've been to lo Presti's at Maxwell's twice and both times were excellent. This restaurant is definately "old school", what some might describe as old fashioned, but whatever you call it, there's one thing that holds true.....the food is fabulous and the service is unbeatable.
Verner, our waiter on both occasions, was the consumate professional. He paid attention to every...

Service is "European" in nature. Food is a bit expensive, but worth the price because of all the "little touches" that make this restarant oneof Hamilton,s finest. A great place for meetings and the larger groups which can be accommodated.. Excellent food.
Nice decor, broken up into small intimate spaces. Excellent service and great food. Pricey.
My friend and I went there to celebrate her birthday, that was long overdue.
From the moment my friend and I walked in to this restaurant, we felt right at home and we were happily greeted and welcomed.
We were given a choice to sit in a gazebo like area or a table just right outside of the gazebo, we...

I took my wife for her birthday.
Not cheap, but worth every penny.
The moment you call to make a reservation you realize that you are getting set for a great experience. Your requests will be accomodated and attempts are made to go beyond what you expected. There is parking lot across the street. The new management has done a great job with the menu and pricing. The service is exceptional and will... more
My first visit was many years ago and it was a superb experience. The second was a year later and Verner, who body and hands create a captivating symphony of motion, not only remembered my name, he also remembered I was from Cornwall. Over the years, I have had the all too seldom occasions to savour a meal there and... more
We stopped here for an anniversary lunch. The food was excellent and the service wonderful. the ambience is great. What a hidden gem that has been there forever.
How this restaurant is not in the top 1 or 2 in Hamilton is beyond me. Finally a restaurant where the waitors know as much about wine pariings and the food as the head chef. Pricing is comparible to La Cantina but the service and food is a million times better. They need to update the decor.
I've been here a few times for buiness dinners. Overall the place is a bit stuffy and old fashion. the food is reasonable but a bit pricey. goo elsewhere to impress your company.
My sister & I, recently went for a celebration dinner with her employer & his wife. I found the staff to be very friendly & sincere. Their recommendations were very much appreciated. The ambiance & food were excellent.
I can't wait to visit again!
expensive, with wonderful ambiance and service
We have been to LoPrestis several times and the food was ok but we kept returning for the great service which was personable and tactful, with class plus! just recently we return to a surprise new management and new menu... well the food is a great improvement but the new serving staff leaves a lot to be desired! They are... more
Great fine dining location - service staff treat you like royalty!
