Cool spot with good cocktails and friendly staff. The underground wine cellar feel is fantastic. The food was solid, although a few dishes were a little underwhelming in the flavour department (Mozambique shrimp and the tuna steak for example). However, the desserts were fantastic. Overall, a fun spot to check out in the city.

My fiance and I dined here for the first time for our anniversary dinner. To start, the service was fantastic. The cocktails were creative and very well done. Our food was also fantastic - we had the cauliflower fritters, game sausage board, and the lobster/steak. All of this was complimented by a really cool, moody atmosphere that gave speak easy vibes. We will definitely be back!

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 fiancee 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!

Fancy little Bistro! Very unique atmosphere for Hamilton! The cocktail we tried was amazing. Friends had burgers and steak and were very pleased with the taste and quality of food. Would recommend this place but beware that overall it is a tad pricey! 32 for a burger, but it was delicious.

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!

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.
