Conversate Steak and Seafood - Hamilton, Ontario

We had an amazing experience at Conservate Steak and Seafood! The modern ambiance created the perfect atmosphere for our evening, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and even surprised my girlfriend with a complimentary dessert for her birthday, which made the night extra special. We ordered the crab cakes, the beef wellington and the creme brulee. The food was outstanding, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. Highly recommend this place for a memorable dining experience!

Great food and our waitress was very knowledgeable. The peppercorn sauce was amazing, and would highly recommend pairing it with the ribeye. We also had the shrimp and scallops for starters and they were both cooked perfectly. Atmosphere felt a little strange cause it was so bright, however the decor was very nice.

One of the best steaks I've ever had. Alicia was our server and she was a delight. From the appetizers to the desserts- delicious. We will definitely be back here!
Went back again and still the most amazing steak. Nikki was our server this time and she was a gem, so professional. This is a staple from now on! I'm telling everyone!

Last night's dinner was an absolute delight! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was incredibly inviting and comfortable. The wide, cozy chairs made it easy to settle in and relax. Our server was fantastic—knowledgeable about the menu, professional, and genuinely kind. The food was delicious, and the hospitality was top-notch. I can't wait to go back! Thank you Mike for everything!

Drove an hour and a half solely for this reservation and would do it again in a heartbeat. A very unique location, its large windows give great natural lighting in the day, and the space transitions into a vibrant and dynamic spot in the evening.
Our server, Alicia, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu; she provided us with great recommendations and an amazing experience. The severs pay close attention to ensuring that every detail is considered, changing our cutlery and keeping glasses full, helping our meal carry on seamlessly. Every course was a show stopper, plated beautifully and bringing together lots of carefully curated flavours.

The scallops as an appetizer were the highlight of our meal. The scallops were sweet, buttery and expertly paired with pork belly and a rosemary bacon jam that added mild smokey notes to complement the brightness of the lemon sauce. This is a dish we will be thinking about for a long time, and is more than worth returning for.
We enjoyed our appetizer alongside Conversate’s warm, house-made focaccia which was served with a delicious and tangy ranch butter. I can’t imagine a better introduction to the kitchen’s talent and way to open our meal.

We chose the beef short rib and rack of lamb as our entrees and were blown away by both. The beef and lamb were both incredibly tender and flavourful, and the positions were very generous. The accompaniments were also amply portioned, perfect for sharing to get a little taste of everything. The most difficult part of the meal was choosing which accompaniment we each wanted as they all sounded fantastic.
My only critique was that the horseradish crema alongside the topping of so many whole peppercorns, both were served with the short rib, leaned into being slightly overpowering with two such potent flavours competing with the succulency of the braised beef. However, this really comes down to personal taste and didn’t at all take away from how much we enjoyed both dishes.

Conversate clearly aims to sell an experience rather than just a meal, our expectations were beyond exceeded.
Everything was fresh, flavourful, and artistically presented.
The restaurant is currently offering an incredibly generous Birthday Sunday deal. Whether this is a permanent or limited time offer, I would highly recommend that diners take advantage of it while they can, as Conversate gave me my most memorable birthday experience to date.
I am already planning my next visit as there are too many dishes on this menu that I am eager to try for myself.
I offer my highest compliments to the entire staff at Conversate, we had an exceptional experience and can’t wait to dine with you again.

Got here after they filmed a part of the "Jack Reacher" series in the place, this meant the place was quite when I arrived. That being said, The staff were amazing, and the food even more so. I had prawn cocktail and filet steak which were both beautiful. The food was absolutely delicious. Definitely I would recommend.....

We hosted our intimate wedding dinner here, and it was amazing! Jessica, the event coordinator was very accommodating and great communication all throughout the planning process.

The lightning and atmosphere was very romantic. Our guests were complimenting the place so much, and it only got better when the sun went down.

As for the food, you are paying for quality and will leave satisfied.

The servers were all so fantastic and kept the mood just right.

We definitely recommend hosting event meals, or even just a nice sit down meal to treat yourselves.
