Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Hamilton

My wife and I have been going to Abe & Louie’s on or near Valentine’s Day for many years. It is one of the last old school steak restaurants in Boston. Great service as always and our waiter, Chris was outstanding. We shared a beet and goat cheese salad - perfect. I had the 16 oz NY strip steak. OMG - it was fabulous. Home fries on the side are always a must. My wife had chicken with some crisp, chunks of potatoes. I admit to stealing a few pieces from her plate. Delicious key lime pie for desert. If you want a really good steak and nice service - go to Abe & Louie’s!

If you value quality over price, this is the spot. Look, a good meal isn't cheap. You pay for good quality, superb preparation, and excellent service, and Pellana has it all. Our server, Teddy, was on point. Phenomenal service, he was knowledgeable, witty, and best of all, returned to the table right when we needed him without hovering. That's a skill most don't have. We started with the bacon wrapped scallops, and hubby had to grab a bosshog x, I was a bit more moderate with a widow jane. Now, the food. THE FOOD!!!! The best steak I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Perfectly seared outside. A perfect Med cook all the way through from end to end.. I had it topped oscar style. Great bernaise sauce, and we shared the garlic mashed potand creamed corn, which has a lovely hint of roasted red pepper, not spicy, but just the little something needed to cut the sweetness of the corn. hubby had the veal chop. Again, the preparation was flawless, I've never seen a veal chop so perfectly cooked all the way through. The drinks were also well poured and unique, I tried the seaside toast, glenfiddich with a smoked cherry wood presentation. He had the smokehouse, with mezcal. Finished off the meal with a creme brule and pistachio martini. Loved every bite and sip. Can't wait to go back.

Amazing food well worth the wait. Definitely going back again

Grill 23 on Valentine's Day was as spectacular as usual. We started out with the Seafood Tower, had a French Onion Soup, followed it with a Wedge Salad, and then the Rib Eye. Food was awesome as ever and the bread basket was filled with great goodies such as corn bread, raisin pumpernickel, and more. The extensive wine list provided a lot of choices and we started with a Paul Hobbs and ended with a Screaming Eagle.

First visit to Pammy's to celebrate a b-day. Service was wonderful, thoughtful tips, frequent check ins, great energy. There were a few menu items that we needed to clarify before ordering as we were unfamiliar with items...but all part of the fun. The food was outstanding, I tried the lobster with squid ink gnocchi ...exceptional! The restaurant is kind of cozy...small floor plan with a communal center table. It all works, but if you have a larger group..book ahead to get one of the separate side tables.
