Hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to! They accommodated our large group with no notice and our server Erica was awesome! She’s great with recommending the best things (the wild game pie was phenomenal). Thank you so much Erica, the chef, and all of the staff that made our evening possible!

After we left one of the staff even ran 2 blocks to find us because my colleague forgot her sunglasses, it was so sweet of her. I will most definitely return!

My fiancée and I came here to celebrate our first month of being engaged, and it was the perfect spot for a special night out! The ambiance is beautiful—quiet, calm, and it honestly felt like we were transported to Europe. Our server (I wish I had caught her name!) was incredibly kind and attentive, making sure everything went smoothly and we had a wonderful experience.

We ordered the surf & turf, and the steak was cooked to perfection—exactly how we like it. As a sweet surprise, they even brought out a complimentary dessert to help us celebrate!

Highly recommend this place for a romantic evening or any special occasion. We’ll definitely be back!

This was my second visit to Brother Grimm, and I was not disappointed! Maria was a lovely and attentive server; she made our experience a 12/10! The food was delicious, but my only minor critique would be that the portions are a little small. BUTT grab a a couple apps and share some mains and you’ll be satisfied! Will for sure be returning. <3

Went for a birthday dinner here and everything was amazing. It was our first visit but I’ve heard about how good this place was from friends. It did not disappoint, service was great (Thank you Faith!), the food was amazing and everything tasted so fresh and they have a very well put together and cohesive menu. The overall experience was wonderful, they even placed a little decoration on the table since they knew it was a birthday celebration and offer a free dessert for special occasions.

We heard they might be stopping dinner services which is such a shame as everything was so delicious.

Amazing job to everyone involved in making this place run!

My daughter's birthday dinner at Brothers Grim was an absolute triumph! The restaurant's unique atmosphere created a truly magical setting for our celebration.
The staff, particularly our server Erica, were incredibly attentive and made us feel so welcome. The owner's warm hospitality added a personal touch that truly elevated the experience.
From the delicious food to the impeccable service, everything about our evening at Brothers Grim was top-notch. I highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion or simply a delightful night out. Thank you to the entire Brothers Grim team for making my daughter's birthday so memorable!

First time at this place on Saturday night for dinner with my family.
The service was average trending to be slow.
The food was good with some "wild game" options.
The noise level at the place is too high.
I found the tables too small making them too tight for the glasses, water bottle, plates, menus, etc.
The atmosphere in general is nice.
I found the prices a bit in the high side.

I ordered the steak with a side of fries (Costco fries lol) in the first picture as medium rare, but what I received was completely rare—cold in the center and barely seared. I sent it back, hoping for a properly cooked steak, only to receive the exact same thing. No difference. Still rare, stinky, and gross.

If that wasn’t bad enough, the flavour was awful—not a single grain of salt or seasoning. The smell? Weird and off-putting. The cut itself was terrible, and at the price they’re charging, it’s honestly shocking. I wouldn’t even take the leftovers home to feed to my dogs—that’s how bad it was.

To make things worse, when I complained, I noticed the chef staring at me from the kitchen, making a very unpleasant face. 0/10 experience from the peanut gallery.

The only good thing about my experience was the service. Our waiter was incredibly kind, attentive, and very apologetic about the whole situation.

But when it comes to the food, especially the steak? Absolutely unacceptable. If you’re looking for a quality steak in Hamilton or just generally good food, do yourself a favor and go anywhere else!!!

Ambiance! This place has ambiance! Decided to visit as a group of six, and it did not disappoint. Walk down the stairs to the cellar to be greeted by a wonderful musician who played for the whole time we were there. Beautiful lighting in a darker cellar experience, it was super cozy. The food was tremendous, and super quick. The food is a little pricey, but a lot of it is made on premises. We had the steak frites du fromage and the wild game sausage, both were unbelievable. Other than being asked to leave right at the two hour mark, ( I understand this is what restaurants have to do to keep other reservations on time). Other than that, Everything was fantastic.
