Martini's
Martini's is your local choice for a quick and delicious lunch, after work cocktails, a casual dinner or late night dining...in an atmosphere of cosmopolitan style. Enjoy the action of the display kitchen or the flat screen TVs while partaking in a beverage list that boasts artisan cocktails, an extensive single malt scotch collection, a sommelier-selected wine list, craft draught and more.. Martinis is not all about the cocktails though, the kitchen team has prepared an inspired menu featuring an extensive selection of appetizers for sharing, burger, beef dip, noodle bar, steaks and more. Cheers!

"Keep up the good work with recognizing birthdays. My friend totally enjoyed her Chocolate Mint birthday dinner. It made it a special time for her.
I noticed someone complaining on our way out about his steak and that he was disappointed with his meal. I had prime rib. I would recommend that your steaks and prime rib have more garlic flavour and less pepper/salt. Garlic is often used to make steaks more appealing at comparable restaurants in your caliber."

"I do prefer the way it was. I found that the food portions have gotten a lot smaller and the prices have gotten a lot higher. There is not a bowl of pasta anywhere worth over $17.00. The menu is limited and just way too expensive for what you get. I prefer Milestones to this restaurant by far."

"Took my mom here for Mother's Day Brunch this year... I used to come with my parents as a kid all the time for brunch whenever my grandpa came to town and I had great memories of Saturday morning omelet. In 20 years, some things haven't changed. The omelets were still delicious and made to order, and the buffet selection was fantastic."

"Martini's has a lot going for it. It's always busy, but there is still room. Service is excellent. The staff are pros. The menu is unique, the food flavourful, but just in case that's not enough, you can choose from the Charcoal Steakhouse menu as well.
Good food, great value, good company. How can you miss?"

"Most of our table had hamburgers but felt they were just "ok". Two had the Pad Thai which was good. Always enjoy the atmosphere and the wine. We were a little disappointed in the service, usually the servers are super friendly but felt our server was having an "off" day. No problem though, we'll be back. Sorry to see our favourite bartender go "Dave"."

"My sister in law was visiting from BC and most of my family live in the Burlington area. We decided that we would meet somewhat in the middle and chose Martini's because we could get a reservation that Sunday. What a great time we had. We had a 20 month old with us and although we did not have a great table to put a high chair at, no one made a fuss about any inconvenience we may have caused.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food and atmosphere and we really appreciated the fact that we were not rushed at all.
What a great afternoon. Thank you."

"We enjoyed the food; we both had the Pad Thai. Our waiter was good. Not overly friendly but, he took care of us well. We never had to look for him. What would prevent me from going back there is it was incredibly noisy. I felt like I was having dinner in a bar. If I recommend Martini's it would be with the caveat that it was loud."

"The bacon wrapped tenderloin, house made chips and the nachos were delicious. We ordered some antojitos and were very disappointed; We finished two of them and set the rest aside. We had two waitresses throughout the night, Mary and Michelle. Neither were overly friendly or welcoming and the service was quite slow. There were a few times over the course of the night when we did not know where they were or why our drinks were taking so long (we waited upwards of 10 minutes for one round). The atmosphere was great and we would definitely come back for the great food."

"Was a very good experience. The steak with stilton was amazing, and perfectly cooked to order. THe only thing I didn't like was that it was Thursday but also valentines day, and they advertise $6 2oz martinis on Thursday, but when our bill came they were $9. They should have said that they didn't have the deal on because it was valentines day. That was a minor blip though, overall we were very impressed!"

"Had a nice business lunch. As the waitress recognized we were talking business, she wasn't constantly coming to the table. One of my guests ordered the beef dip, medium. First time it came out pretty rare. Waitress took it back and replaced, but the 2nd one was also pretty rare. I ordered the ribs with the brown sugar sauce, wonderful as always, and my other guest had the smoked salmon croissant, that he seemed to enjoy. I also ordered their dessert special, banana cream pie and it was horrible. Bananas weren't ripe, as they were hard and crunchy. I didn't want the ice cream with it, but I guess that was the cream part. Should have at least added a dollop of whipped cream."

"The food and service at Martini's is always very good. This time out, however, I didn't enjoy where we were seated. If you are seated with your back to the walkway at the tables along the far right side [against the mirror/mural], you feel like you're right in the walkway. And, I'm not a big person so my chair was pushed in and I still felt people breezing by me. I didn't enjoy that.We almost ended up at the table directly across from the pasta bar, right at the stairs, which is even worse.Otherwise, the experience was very good.Thanks."

"Food here is usually amazing. We are regular customers. This evening the Caesar salad was so strong of garlic that all of us felt the same. The food was unfortunately over salted this evening.
We are only bringing this to your attention as we believe this Restaurant is the best in the region."
