Grill bar in Hamilton

“Traditional and authentic Japanese restaurant! Everything was delicious! The atmosphere and the service is very nice!”

“Lookout Bar has a great vibe – awesome views, friendly staff, and solid food. The smoked pizza was seriously good – crispy base, great flavour, and that smoky touch really makes it stand out. Seafood was super fresh, especially the prawns and calamari – cooked just right. Only downside was the sauce on a couple of dishes – felt a bit heavy and overpowered the natural flavours. Would’ve been perfect with just a lighter touch. Still, a great place to relax with a drink and enjoy the view. Worth a visit, especially if you’re into bold flavours and casual coastal dining.”

“I was here last night, with a few friends to see Greg Johnson's Vine Street Tour (24.04.2025). What a great venue, nice staff too. Didn't eat there but food looked deelish., so could be a return trip to sample in the not to distant future.”

“The service was wonderful. Alex was our server and she was super friendly and genuine. The food was lovely. Very happy. Thanks guys. Made our wedding anniversary special”

“Went in for dinner last night with a big group of 30+ people. Coming from a hospitality background myself, I knew it would be a challenge for the staff, but they handled it really well. The fire alarm went off twice during our visit, so we had to evacuate each time — obviously annoying for everyone, but totally out of the staff’s control. They followed protocol and managed the situation calmly and professionally, especially considering many of the team looked quite young. Big credit to them. Surprisingly, they even gave us a 10% discount, which they didn’t have to do since the issue wasn’t their fault. It was a nice gesture and appreciated by the whole group. The food has definitely improved since I was last here a couple of years ago, which was great to see. Service was spot on too — friendly, attentive, and efficient. All in all, a good experience given the circumstances. I don’t normally leave reviews, but this one was well deserved. Will definitely be back.”

“Don’t usually leave reviews but just wanted to share how great this venue was at sorting an incident that happened- a man undid my top at the bar and tried to take it off me. After my friends told me to tell the bar what happened, the bartenders didn’t even question it they immediately informed the management to ask the man to leave and one even gave me a jacket to wear after noticing how uncomfortable i looked. A great example of how these things should be dealt with and making the night a better and safer place for everyone :) thank you so much”

“Mothers day dinner was good, but the real winner was our lovely wait staff! She was attentive and lovely. So the service won this night. Being the first time going it was a win!”
