“ Went to the Purple Pear for a family birthday celebration and were happy we decided to go to this cozy, old school, cozy restaurant. We had been here before and we're always happy with the experience and we're not disappointed on this occasion. As always the staff was inviting and attentive and a special thank you to our server who was kind and patient with my elderly mother who was having difficulty choosing a dinner. The owner, Victor was friendly and helpful as always as he made his way around to each and every table making all of his patrons feel welcomed. The food was outstanding, steaks cooked to perfection and served with interesting and delicious sides. It was a perfectly timed dinner with no one hurrying things along as we find happens in many other restaurants. This made our experience even more enjoyable as we able to enjoy good food and conversation without feeling rushed. All together a great dinner at a great price ... thank you Victor and Debby of the Purple Pear for having us over for dinner !! ”
“ A date night to remember 3 As we stepped foot into this Hamilton gem, we were immediately transported back to a classy evening out in 1994. From the velvet curtains, and mirrored walls to the stained-glass signage, every detail has been appreciated and cared for over the years, as are its patrons. Service was thoughtful and well-paced. Food was hot and delicious! Not to mention, the prices fair! Regardless of the place hosting a few larger parties, the energy still felt intimate and cozy. I really hope this place sticks around for years to come. Its places like these that age like fine wine ”
