Julia made this an incredible experience! I am so grateful for Julia and The Mule, as a celiac and anaphylactic to Peanuts and Tree Nuts, my time finding restaurants that I feel truly safe is rare. This was the first place in Canada where I felt that safety to just explore the menu, relax, and enjoy. Everyone that came to our table was kind, informed, and awesome! Also the food IS AMAZING! Best tacos I’ve had in Ontario. Thank you again to Julia and the team for making a memorable meal and amazing experience. Will be coming back to Hamilton just for The Mule!
They just put out a summer menu and it was excellent. Best to go with a group and share. They were able to accommodate for my celiac. Try the whipped feta. It was out of this world. The waitress was lovely and we didn’t need for anything.
since having a family member that’s celiac we have stopped, recently discovering they offer gluten free wraps we tried it again. DO NOT,
(1)they use the same cooktops and utensils without cleaning.
This establishment needs to learn about contamination and true gluten friendly environments if they’re offering gluten free options.
Hambrgr had great selection for burgers and were even able to easily accommodate my gluten dietary restriction with a delicious bun substitute. I ordered the Hawaiian Punch burger and it truly was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. The pulled pork's BBQ sauce and sweet pineapples balanced out the saltiness of the fried onion topping and savoury beef burger.
Side caesar salad was a little pricey at $6.00 for a small salad but was tasty and wasn't overwhelmed with too much dressing. I would order it again.
Overall, Hambrgr is a great value for a gourmet burger and worth spending a couple extra dollars for a premium meal. I have gone twice and will be back.
We hosted our wedding at The Diplomat and everything was incredible! Our event coordinator, Kyla, was super helpful throughout the whole planning process and answered all of our questions promptly. The restaurant is beautiful and required such minimal decor. The staff working the event made everything run so smoothly, from set up, to cocktail hour, to dinner service. The servers were amazing. The bartenders are so talented and our guests loved the cocktails. All of the food was DELICIOUS! Our favourite canapés were the fried halloumi and the chili chicken. The braised beef was to die for. There were vegan and gluten free options for our guests with dietary restrictions. Our guests raved about the food! I would highly recommend The Diplomat for hosting events!
Had a lovely time enjoying various offerings, all of which were perfectly executed and which happened to be gluten free!
The service was excellent with a very knowledgeable and attentive server.
I highly recommend this place for an intimate gathering or date night.
First, the food was incredible. Secondly, they have great gluten free capacity.
If you go, go for the food, and if you are celiac, enjoy your evening, because the food is incredible!
Service: Got to the restaurant in time for reservation, the hostess was seating us. There was an area of 3 empty tables, two of them by the window. I asked could we have a table by the window. The hostess said yes, and seated us. Well..... then it all fell apart. Another person, no idea who came over and said no we can't have that table because it was already set up for a different reservation. Directed us to a different table (another empty table) So we had to get up and move to a different table. Maybe they should talk to each other. The place filled up within 20 minutes of us getting there. We got kicked out exactly at the expiry time of our table. I read on the website that it could happen and it did. We did not dawdle.
When I made the reservation on Open Table I wrote that there were two birthdays - Like that didn't matter at all. Nothing happened about birthdays. Lucky we brought our own cake and candles, Whew!
Incredible food, nothing much to say about service.
Atmosphere: The noise from the kitchen comes all the way through the restaurant, and there are no sound absorbers anywhere in the place, so so so much noise. We had to yell at each other to have a conversation. Like I said, go for the food.
