The service and atmosphere definitely exceeded my expectations. Servers were very attentive but not over-the-top. Food was very delicious too! The happy hour prices made everything very affordable. I really loved the broccoli appetizer.
We recently had our wedding at the Diplomat and are so happy with our experience. The staff are phenomenal, the food is delicious and the space is beautiful! We couldn’t believe how amazing the service was, and how efficient and accommodating the staff were during dinner, and at the bar (we received countless compliments about the cocktails and food!). We would like to give a special shout out to Aaron who we felt went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly! Thank you to the whole team who helped to make our day so special!
Great place. Had my birthday celebrated here in summer, they provided me with free dessert. Cocktails and food were amazing. Thanks to staff for helping to make the evening special.
First time visiting the Diplomat and was so impressed with the restaurant, service and the food. A perfect environment to entertain clients or enjoy a leisurely drink and chat in one of the comfy sofas. A gem on King William 🤴 ✨️ 😍 💙
We went to Diplomat for a date night. Overall everything was fine, but nothing too special. The food and service were good. Our server was very nice, but we felt rushed to leave the restaurant although it was 9:30 and restaurant closes at 10 pm. We were given the bill right after our last bite. The atmosphere was romantic. Overall everything was fine and enjoyable but nothing too special. For this pricepoint, I feel like there are better places in Hamilton.
Had such an amazing experience here the other night. Our server Sergio was so sweet and had such a great energy it really made our evening special. The food was incredible, small portions but packed with a lot of flavour. Would definitely recommend stopping by for dinner if you’re in town.
Attended a 40th birthday dinner event for my sister in law recently. The atmosphere was great. It was a lovely place to dine in. The staff that were part of our group were exceptionally lovely and kind. The cocktails 100/10 for our mostly non-alcoholic group. The bar was lovely to admire with the lush ferns hanging from the ceiling and gold glided detailing around the glass and bar station. There was some unique art pieces which I absolutely adored especially the dignified giraffe piece by the fire place mantle.
The food was good. I didn't get a shot of my main course which was the braised beef in a cream sauce and potatoes because it took so long to come that I rushed to eat it. It was good but I would have loved for the potatoes to be softer and crispy and not tough and crunchy. My appetizers was a pork stew which I absolutely loved 10/10. Everything worked in the stew. The spices, meats, veggies all blended exceptionally well.
Definitely will recommend for a unique Downtown Hamilton experience coming from a Toronto lady who loves fine dining.

Had a gorgeous meal on their patio this evening. We started with their pork belly and the garlic knots. The pork belly was incredible and the knots were great. Then we enjoyed the Diplo Burger and the salmon. The burger was huge and delicious and the salmon was the best I’ve had in a long time. The service was quick and friendly as well. We will definitely be returning!
