About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Charming
Rapscallion & Co. is a mischievous and vibrant part
of Hamilton’s restaurant scene, dedicated to offering the city’s culinary
connoisseurs a full nose-to-tail experience. We offer a regularly changing,
meaty and creative menu in a laid-back setting. Our skilled and
passionate chefs do it all, whether it’s curing, salting, boning, stuffing,
wrapping, charring, braising, or just leaving the meat raw.
Above all, we love to prepare food that pushes boundaries and pulls you outside of your comfort zone — just a little bit. We get tremendous joy out of food and offer items that you are unlikely to find another local restaurants. While we love meat more than some people love their firstborn, we are always happy to accommodate those who don’t. Vegetarians and vegans are always welcome, options available by request.

    It was a very busy place when we arrived and took a few minutes to get seated (we had a reservation thankfully!) our service was outstanding… despite issues with their order entry system the server took his time and made jokes and checked in often. We had a very yummy breakfast (get the hashbrowns!!!) and enjoyed our time there. Looking forward to our next visit!

    🙃Just stopped at this place for a dinner...and asked by my smart phone this morning to place a review here.. The available space and layout allows for a limited ambience experience, so no hard feelings...You get the best feel of this place if you get seating around the bar, but that area offers mostly table for 2...I was not able to explore fully this dining place, but there might be another area at the back of this restaurant, possibly a party room. 🍴🍷 Food was a 'hit and miss' kind of thing. First, the portions are relatively small, more like appetizer size plates. The biggest disappointment was the red beet salad, followed by not exactly well seasoned and prepared lamb shank. The lasagna was OK, but for those used to the more original Italian flavors, even this plate will leave them with desiring more. The pork dish they call a ‘trio of pork’ was again just fine, but the quality of the pork cuts were not premium and the bean base was more of a “canned beans” nature than a chef’s prepared seasoned bean base. ?! If people around the table compliment most a simple, yet colorful plate covered with spreaded olive oil mixed with chives, parsley, honey, crashed red chilli pepper seeds and a whipped feta cheese served with grilled pieces of baguette…that might paint the picture of our experience on it’s own?! 🙂Our table was served well….with very good attention to details….thank you for that…so we were served well, but the presented food need some work IMHO. The noise level was low enough to have a good conversation at the table at the time of our dinner. I would like to thank the person who served our table. He was the reason we left satisfied even though the served food was a ‘hit- and- miss’ for us.🤔

    Hi Jerry, Thank you for joining us and taking the time to leave a review. Of course we wish that we set a great first impression, but we do need to hear when we miss the mark. We are currently in the planning phases for our next menu. Hopefully we can see you again in the future and hit the mark for you then.

    The appetizers were excellent! So flavourful with unique sauces. Broccoli dish was yummy as well. We were quite happy until the entrees. Mains were underwhelming and extremely small portions. I had the trout which was dry and only saved by dipping it in the sauce of the seafood dish. It was a seafood ravioli and while it was quite tasty the raviolis were starchy. A one time experience for me
