Reviews for Wild Orchid Restaurant Downtown Hamilton in Hamilton, ON

Delicious authentic Portuguese food! Wild Orchid is one of my favourite restaurants in the city. I ordered the Arroz de Marisco... (Portuguese seafood rice) and it was phenomenal. Will definitely be back. Read more

My mother and I went for dinner. When we arrived the only two people in the restaurant. Food was served lukewarm, my mother... sent her fish back twice as it was not served hot. Had to call the server over to our table each time as we were not checked on.A family of three came in and another couple. Total of 7 people in the restaurant. Took 20 min for our plates to be removed. Hadto ask for the bill and that took another 10 to 15. Another server appeared tk have started and they look confused/flustered bythe two extra tables to serve. Two meal, a tea and soft drink came to $70.00. No parking had to pay at a street meter Read more

To start, we have been returning customers to Wild Orchid for about 10+ years. Prior to covid, it was such a tasty restaurant.... This time, we found the menu to be a bit boring compared to what we remember. Cons: We had a hair in one of our meals. Thehostess kept chit chatting with a group across from us and ignoring us. My steak was over cooked when I requested medium. Thenuggets from the kids meals looks like it came from the frozen grocery store packages and still cost us $8per meal, which wasn'tworth it. Sangria pitcher we order was tasteless unfortunately. We did not want to complain as the hair though. We will just notbe returning for a long time in hopes that things change again. Pro: After the hair in meal complaint, they did not charge usfor that meal. Read more

Heard such great things about this place and was severely let down. Got food poisoning after I left... ordered the fish entree,... salad and calamari. Not sure if something not cooked well enough or the combination I ate was bad, but will definitely keepgoing back to Charred for "best Portuguese food" on James North. Read more

The most disappointing experience I've had especially when it was highly recommended by a work colleague. The food was... tasteless. Didn't even have salt. The shrimp just tasted like it was doused in tomato sauce. I could barely eat the food on theplate. Had to stop and get dinner after I left here after spending 200 bucks. I'm sorry guys but you need to really work on yourmeals. Will not return or recommend Read more

This place is awesome! The food and service was fantastic, our server Claudia was super friendly and fun to be around. The patio... is such a cool place to hang out. Highly recommend the seafood pasta. (In the picture we had already eaten a bunch of theshellfish, it came with a ton!) Read more
