    We have dined here multiple times over the years and have always had a super experience. Something was seriously off the rails on Saturday night however. The food was the usual amazing but the service was terrible. We ordered cocktails and one starter and received the starter in good order but waited, and waited for our drinks. Our waitress came back and we ordered the rest of our plates and they came out fairly quickly but still no drinks. We finally saw them being made and placed on a tray on the bar(we sat right beside it). After our waitress, plus the bartender walking back and forth past them multiple times I was finally able to get the bartender’s attention and ask for them to be brought over. No apology or explanation. Hoping this was a one-off as this is definitely one of our favourites in Hamilton. A very strange experience indeed.

    We just did not enjoy our meal very much. I had the Gnocchi. It was as if they pan seared it with a half of cup of diced oiled garlic. I didn't like the taste of it.

    Loved this restaurant. We were here yesterday and ordered the tasting menu and both of us enjoyed it a lot. Portions were really good and filling for the two of us. We will be back

    A profound disappointment. We have been visitingBN since ‘18. Not surprised by the Michelins recognition. Walked in and found something was off! New owners!? Michelins needs to remove their recognition. Owners need to be ashamed of using old website. Misleading. Food was just ok. Tout dish was very good. Spark, creativity is all gone. Plants dying, surfaces on furniture dirty, soiled.
