From the time you walk in the door you are greeted by friendly staff. Maitre d' Werner adds a lovely formal air to the experience and is always very entertaining and engaging. The wait staff is very professional and accomodating. The food is out of this world! Chefs Tim and Terry will always go the extra mile for special requests.... More

LoPresti's at Maxwells is one of Hamilton's finest Restaurants. As much as it can be a formal affair, very relaxed dress code will also be accepted. The owners and servers go beyond with service but do not overdo. They are very attentive, yet do not hold over your table. Yet when you need them, they appear from nowhere. The meals... More

This year we moved our Christmas Lunch to Maxwell's. With great anticipation, I ordered the Perch lunch special. It was so overcooked and dry, I could not eat it. What a disappointment. Based on other reviews, maybe dinner is better?

We surprised my Wife for her birthday with the whole family showing up, we had a great time for 10 people including 4 children. Food was great, but it took time to arrive, which would not have been an issue if it was all adults. It is still my fav in Hamilton and we will be back again.

Superior service and food presentation. The restaurant is excellent for a a special occasion as it is laid out very nicely with extra touches - however a little expensive for every day.

Maxwells is hands down my favorite restaurant! From the impeccable service to the amazing food and atmosphere I absolutely love coming here! If you want to treat someone or even just feel like a treat yourself, this is the place! I have never been to a restaurant which truly treats their customers like family. I have come here for many...

We like good restaurants. We try to eat at a restaurant on Trip Advisor's top 10 most of the time when we travel. We decided to try it at home and ended up at lo Presti's. It was superb. Mt husband had a Caesar salad and I had grilled calamari. He enjoyed the Caesar salad and my calamari was grilled... More

My mother and I took my niece for dinner the past Monday to lo Presti's and we were very impressed with everything. The antipasto and warm garlic bread, impeccable service, amazing food along with a lovely quiet place to celebrate a graduation made this evening very special. I had mentioned when I made the reservation that we were celebrating a... More
