One Duke Restaurant & Lounge - Hamilton, Ontario

We visited for our first time. What a beautiful experience. Our server Ayla was exceptionally friendly, kind and welcoming. Her service is one you want in any of these establishments. Her attentiveness to our table was amazing. She was very educated in the questions that was asked about the foods ... and drinks. Our drinks were very very good. We had the Lipstick Martini , violet empress drink, toasted almond shots, First sip martini. All well made and presented beautifully. Please take a peak into my photos to see. The price points are very comparable to most. The prices are a bit cheaper for the drink and some food items. I definitely would recommend the fried chicken sandwich. Wow it blew me out of the water. It was huge, juicy, crunchy and the bun was so fresh. It did not disappoint. The cheese was melted and the pull on it was a sight to see. The shrimp tacos were okay. The shrimps were a bit cold. The salmon was cooked well. The oyster was good. However not sure if I liked the oyster sauce that was on there. Both of the ones I ate had some sand on them. Refer to photo. That’s probably a one off. They were fresh and tasty good than that. The fried Chiquitos I think it’s called. Was very tasty and delicious. definitely worth trying out this place and see what’s your favourite? Read more

I was very disappointed to find out that there was absolutely nothing on the menu. I understand maybe we had come at a bad time but it was poorly handled. The waitress gave us the full menu then left, never mentioned if there was anything unavailable. We looked at what drinks ... they had and tried to order "oh sorry we have nothing on tap only cans" ...ok so another 5 minutes of choosing what we want. We were looking at food for a good half an hour she comes over and apologizes we don't have that. Again another few minutes of looking she came back and said the same thing. The process was so long and awful especially when you're just waiting like why not just say what IS on the menu at that point or take the time to tape things off. So unfortunately the only things available were burgers and canned beer. Burgers were pretty good. Read more

Came here very late on Saturday night, probably around 11:30, place only had a couple people, the hostess said we had just missed their big night rush! I got the pepperoni pizza, and my buddies got the smash burgers, we also a pitcher of sangria for the table. Honestly food ... was pretty good, fries had some seasoning on them that tasted amazing, plus they were fresh cut. Pizza came out very hot, but tasted good! Service was great, the waitress made sure we had everything we needed and came to check in on us a couple times, also the ambience of the low lighting was very cool, very much an upscale place.

Stopped off after hiking the escarpment rail trail and was met with pleasant staff member and inviting atmosphere although it was 3pm in the midweek. My companion and I both ordered the chicken sandwich. I enjoyed it and it was filing but my companion not so much. We both agreed it ... could have been seasoned a bit more for our taste or had some hot sauce as an accompaniment. The fries were very good. Read more

My partner and I went here to eat in the evening and got myself fish and chips while he got the smash burger with a side of parmesan cheese fries and an espresso martini. Overall, the food was great, and we both loved our food. The fish and chips were ... pretty good, but the batter was too thin, so it was falling apart and not too crunchy as you expect a fish and chip would look like, which is crispy. It was also slightly oily, and my sweet potato fries were a bit soggy and not crispy or maybe that's just how sweet potatoes are when fried. Atmosphere-wise, it was cozy, and customer service was excellent. I understand it's a restaurant & bar. However, the place smelt like cigarettes since people come in and out of the building to smoke. I still recommend this place for others to try! Read more
