we were exceptionally well cared for, from Grant the owner (who bussed our table no less!) to our very knowledgeable server, whom i certainly trust to suggest wine with meal... so glad i succumbed and ordered the tenderloin after all... the dish of mushrooms was the perfect side :)
We went for our anniversary dinner and everything was amazing! Great atmosphere, amazing service and to die for food! Shrimp tacos, buttered shrimp, 16oz aged steak, 8oz tenderloin, puff potatoes, sautéed mushrooms, key lime pie, cheese cake and toffee dessert! Now I'm hungry again!
So lucky to have this in Brantford. Small and off the beaten path but a must visit for any one in 100 miles that enjoys great food, good atmosphere , lovely staff and a well stocked bar. would highly suggest anything that is on menu at the time you go and if the puffy potatoes are there... just think like potatoes and clouds had a little fried baby. absolutely exceptional
This is a hidden gem and Brantford is lucky to have this great eating spot. I live in Santa Fe, NM, a foodie hotspot, and 'On The Lam' is definitely on par. Great cocktails, well prepared, and presented, entrees, and creative desserts. Come on Brantford, keep 'On The Lam' thriving!
Amazing food. On the lam is great, the staff was cool and the drinks and food were amazing. I had the mussels, Brussels sprouts, potato puffs and the lamb everything was cooked perfectly
Excellent all around experience. Went for dinner last night, excellent experience from start to finish. Bubbly wait staff, interesting, tasty dishes, good quantities and reasonable prices. Had the pickles & olives app, chicken breast, beef tenderloin, toffee and smores for dessert. Will be back! One complaint, the music was too loud...
Tiny but mighty! I will keep recommending On The Lam to anyone looking for a very special little place with excellent food. Perfect spot for a romantic dinner or just cocktails. Yes it leans toward the higher end cost wise but it sooooo worth it! Feels like a secret little find. Food and drink and service are all superb!
Best steak I’ve ever had the Japanese wagyu was amazing, also the boneless buffalo wings are fantastic. Grant makes the best cocktails!
Overall 10/10 restaurant.
I visited On The Lam once, and have day-dreamed about the spot ever since. The quality of the service, the finessing of flavour, the intimate vibe... My fiancé and I ordered 5 menu items and 4 drinks total, and paid around $100. The cost was astounding considering how heart-stoppingly yummy the plates were. We will be back once this dang pandemic allows!
Great food, great service, great ambiance. We enjoyed everything: oysters, wine, steak, side dishes and dessert. Judging by the number of plates of puffed potatoes that were being served at other tables, we have to come back and give them a try also. Otherwise, I'd order the exact same meal again and again, it was perfect.
Tried On the Lam last night after multiple people told me it was the best restaurant in Brantford. It was SO GOOD! Every bite we looked at each other and nodded our heads in awe of the yumminess. Will be going back 100percent and cannot wait to eat inside. Looked so cute and hip inside.
Wonderful dining experience. If you are in Brantford you need to come by and try the food.
Food and service was amazing! Serving staff was able to guide to an awesome bottle of wine that paired perfectly with dinner.
Only tweak we wished we could see was a basket of warm bread, maybe some olive oil and vinegar.... or option to purchase some.
AMAZING food and staff! I called last minute to see if there was availability for my anniversary and Grant worked things around so we were able to come in! Did not disappoint as food was so fresh, and drinks were deliciously hand crafted before our eyes 😍 thank you!!
