Reviews of Thyme Square Restaurant
S.
I came here by accident and asked if there is a table for me and Yes! I got a table chilling outside and have ordered the beef Wellington.
In my opinion, the service is friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is lovely and romantic. I love the food so much. I can not wait to get back there and try all the main dishes!
Highly recommended for everyone!
See you again very soon❤️
C.
Table for two this evening. We went there with high expectations and they were all met - probably exceeded.
This is an awesome place and I suggest you get along there right now!
We elected to have the “Chefs Choice” where they surprise us with the courses (we live dangerously). Can honestly say they are a cut above the rest.
They catered well for the gluten free and vegan guest too.
Well done Thyme Square. You’ll see us again.
D.
We booked a table for three for dinner before lockdown and it was fantastic. The place is super cosy, very inviting, warm and beautiful, and the service was friendly. The food came out in a timely manner and was well presented. Everything tasted exactly like how it looked and was very fresh. Pricing is a little on the pricier side but well worth the money for how much effort goes in to the food. Looking forward to dining here again!
S.
Very nice meals we got chefs choice and he picked well excellent customer service clean and tidy rated 5stars entree main and yummy pudding
k.
superb quality food generous portions, combined with friendly attentive staff
I throughly recommend this restaurant if your looking for high quality fine dining in Hamilton
A.
Amazing food and top service. Highly recommend an evening dinner with the chefs choice menu option
J.
Hamilton is lucky to have this ! The food is exceptional and evolving constantly. The restaurant feels personal and staff are knowledgeable.
Cannot recommend Logan and his team enough.
M.
One of the best brunch meals I've had in a long time. Everything was just spot on. Loved the fact that the Benedict came with hot smoked salmon rather than cold. The buttermilk fried chicken was crunchy and juicy and great Asian flavours with the coriander - highly recommended. Black garlic polenta chips were just that - black! Looked great and tasted just as good. Blueberry hotcakes were another hit. A bit of a crunch to the hotcake, served with plums, mascarpone and Whittaker's choc sauce. Great way to finish with something sweet. Also amazing service. Lovely, helpful and very friendly. Charming atmosphere in the restaurant itself, although we couldn't resist sitting outside on such a beautiful day. Would definitely go back next time I'm visiting Hamilton.
Update: it was so good we went back for breakfast the next day. The stroganoff gnocchi in creamy mushroom sauce with steak was THE BEST, Thai red curry with buttermilk fried chicken was also packed full of yummy flavours and I would definitely get it again.
B.
All our courses where delicious. Beautifully presented plates, and lovely service. Will definitely be back to try the 'Trust the Chef' menu option.
T.
Best out of lockdown brunch ever!!! Fantastic service, great coffee and lovely setting.
J.
A wonderful reincarnation for old of Hamilton East's grand old villas. 259 Grey Street is now Thyme Square and an exceptional addition to Hamilton's dining scene. It is currently BYO beer, wine & spirits with a corkage charge. We met a group of friends for a Sunday lunch and our meals were the beef stroganoff and venison spanikopita which were both outstanding. It has an easy-going and comforting vibe, with great service & flavoursome, nourishing food. It's a place you will want to go again and again. Well done to the Thyme Square family for creating an excellent destination restaurant in the heart of Hamilton East.
M.
Fantastic service, excellent food, just all round great experience. I can definitely recommend the “Trust the Chef” option. Logan is such a talent delivering beautiful looking plates with equally beautiful flavour combinations. This will be our new regular for sure!!
M.
Delicious Beef Wellington and Brownoffee Pie for dessert. A bit pricey and a surprise to be charged for BYO. Service was okay.
S.
Divine! Great BYO with delicious food, generous portions and friendly service. Caters to all dietary requirements without it ever seeming to be an issue. A fave spot to eat in Hamilton!
R.
Really good grub. Very nice try the beef wellington its great. very filling meals, an im assuming typical English meals. Take your own drinks as they only have a corking license.
A.
Reach of taste beautifully served food!
A.
100% the only restaurant I come in to Hamilton to go to! This was our first time there for dinner after being constantly impressed by the brunches and lunches. Everything was absolutely 5 star!! It really is fine dining.
The Food, service, ambiance, restaurant decor and feel - I didn't want to leave! For mains we had the Eye fillet, and truffle risotto with Tuna steak. Incredible! You really get what you pay for... keep in mind quality food is expensive to buy as it is, so the prepared meal I had in front of me by an amazIng chef with BYO wine - it is actually very reasonably priced! The meal had so many different components and flavours, but all worked together beautifully. I'm not kidding when I say this is one of the best restaurant meals I have ever had. My other half was equally impressed. Thanks again Thyme Square team - until next Thyme!!
T.
It’s a nice little house restaurant, love it! Food is good, as well as the service.
S.
Me and my partner are big foodies, and we went on a Thursday evening to celebrate her birthday - and selected the "trust the chef" option. We were both BLOWN AWAY with how amazing the service, intimate vibe and food were. Beautifully plated, well designed, new fresh and exciting arrangements and best of the flavor. Also, good portions for your money, no microplates here :) We will be back regularly for our special occasion meals. Highly recommended. ps - I eat dairy free and the chef tailored everything to my needs no problem. Not many places offer such service.
A.
Had a work brunch. The staff are very friendly and the food was fabulous. A little too much salt on the chicken which I informed them of, otherwise, delicious. Lovely spot. Look forward to taking hubby back.
G.
Beautiful night to sit outside this gorgeous villa and enjoy a tasty and extensive menu. Great food and fabulous service. First time callers and we will definately be back. Thanks Logan and crew.
M.
We went for "trust the chefs" and had an amazing experience! 👏
Five starts for outstanding service, beautiful decoration and most of all for the excellent food.
A.
EDIT - The owner reached out of his own accord, and I believe feels genuinely remorseful about the experience. I've given the review a jump up to a 4-star because I believe it is a much better representation of just how good the food was. I also forgot mention that the cocktails/mocktails were fantastic.
I'll be honest I feel really conflicted writing this review. The food was delicious. Genuinely some of the most amazing food I've eaten in Hamilton... But our waitress was so very condescending.
She made it seem as if we were inconveniencing her by coming to the restaurant, and was quite sour to deal with - right up until (of course) it was time to pay and leave.
It was such a shame, but we all felt the same, that the waitress really didn't leave any positive impact on us at all.
I'll stress again - the food is remarkable. The chef(s) are amazing, and I would very much like to visit again.
Note - we visited a while ago, and I was indecisive on if I should post this review or not, so more recent experiences and reviews may be more reliable!
C.
Had a wonderful meal with our group of old primary school friends .we had the trust the chef 3 course menu and thoroughly enjoyed food and atmosphere. Will reccomend
L.
10/10 would come here again
Originally didn’t even notice the place but I’m glad I found it
Definitely recommend using “trust the chef” to get a random entree and main (+\- a dessert)
Staff were great, ambience is great, everyone is super friendly and I will definitely come back
C.
Amazing Food. Great atmosphere! Lovely service. Had the trust the chef 2 course, so yummy! Will be back
D.
This is a fairly new restaurant in Hamilton East, not far from other eateries at various levels, but this is at the top end. It is situated in an old villa, which had housed Richard's Restaurant in the 1980s. The different rooms are partly opened up so there is a sense of being in an intimate space. Our group of 10 was well accommodated, though. We had a chef's choice of vegetarian dishes. All the food was delicious. I recall the gourmet cheese scones in particular and the beetroot and rocket salad with feta. The deserts were stunning including poached pears and an extraordinary bread and butter pudding. On our night the liquor licences hadn't quite come through, but the BYO license was imminent with the full license to follow. Our group ordered glasses of non-alcoholic wines and beers.
N.
Absolutely love this place! Gorgeous ambience, lovely staff and incredible food and dining experience. One not to be missed in Hamilton!
L.
We chose 'Trust the chef' on the menu and we certainly weren't disappointed. Highly recommend giving it a go as everything was cooked to perfection and the flavours were so unique. Love the quirky location of the restaurant and the service was awesome. Great atmosphere all round.
L.
Wonderful yummy food that comes with amazing presentation.
T.
A really fantastic dining experience. We were a late walk-in booking and lucky to get a table on a busy evening! Staff were brilliant and we decided to chose the "Trust the Chef" option which was a fun way to eat. Will be back to try the beef wellington the the table next to us ordered though!
D.
Absolutely fantastic restaurant. Food, service and ambiance perfect. I would have to rate this the best restaurant in Hamilton!
A.
Great flavors, friendy wait staff and a very pleasant evening. Only loose a star because we tried to book again for a group of 10 but the only option was a set menu for 20 at $900. I don't have an extra 10 friends so food only at $90 a head is a bridge too far. Need to work out how to cater for smaller groups.
l.
Really really good food, should be the best in hamilton
K.
Had lunch here today, our waitress was amazing and the food was spot on. I can't recommend Thyme Square Restaurant enough. I think its definitely a hidden gem. You won't be disappointed, 5 stars for food and service.
C.
It’s quite like fusion dishes and you can’t imagine how the chef would think of using those ingredients. Highly recommended if you are boring to those transitional dishes. To be honest, I wouldn’t know it is a restaurant if I haven’t booked it through first table. But it gives you a feeling of home because it is a house renovated as restaurant.
M.
What lovely people. We arrived without a reservation and they made an arrangement to be able to accommodate us. The menu is unique and the presentation cannot be faulted. One piece of advice....go hungry....as portions are big....
H.
Beautiful food, top service, lovely setting, great music, and BYO.
e.
Logan is very generous with his large portioned mains and very tasty. Neill is the ultimate host with seamless and friendly service. Together they make Thyme Square a joy to return to time and again. Just wish I could visit more often.
A.
Fantastic food! Did the chef's choice and was not disappointed by his selection of stunning food. A very special little place with great atmosphere. A very lovely hostess
C.
Amazingly GOOD!!!
We really enjoyed their exceptional food, a real pleasure for your tastebuds 👍
Huge compliment to the chef!
Very kind and helpful staff as well.
What a shame we don't live here, would visit more often.
Kind regards Wil&Cora
K.
Amazing food, great service. Very cosy restaurant
b.
What a meal!!!!! After deciding on a meal each my wife and I saw the trust the chef meals delivered to the neighbouring table and instant food envy hit... However that was short lived because the options we had picked hit the mark perfectly. I ordered the risotto with seared tuna and was blown away. It was by far the best risotto I've ever had... For me the truffles used were a beautiful touch and worked in nicely with the other flavours!! My wife's meal was equally impressive and we will be returning some time real soon!!
B.
Came for brunch and was so impressed. Such lovely ambience with lots of lovely little nooks. Our waitress was excellent and the food delicious. Can't wait to return for dinner!
C.
Incredible food and atmosphere. This is my 7th time here and I am so happy that I discovered this restaurant. Logan Murray you are a taste WIZARD!
G.
Great service and excellent food.
P.
Delicious food and great service. Will definitely be back
L.
trust the chef, you won't be disappointed. fine dining and BYO is a real nice touch too.
D.
It was yummy and we are glad we took the "trust the chef" option even though we didn't initially feel very trusting. It was a lot of fun and the food was delicious and well presented.
R.
Wow. I want to say well done to both the Kitchen Staff and the wait staff at Thyme Square. It was my wife and I's first time at Thyme Square and were were blown away by the quality of the food and presentation. I had the Confit Pork belly entree and the Venison Main and both were just amazing. My Wife had the Smoked lamb Rump entree and the Lamb Shank main and she was equally impressed. Atmosphere was awesome in the converted villa and the wait staff were welcoming but didn't hover. We will be coming back soon, My Wife is looking forward to trying the Venison and i'm looking forward to the eye fillet. Great experience all round.
J.
Dined tonight. Cannot fault the food. 5.30 booking, 2nd table seated, last to be served mains ( tables around us arrived after we did and were served mains before us) then to be told we had no time left for coffee and dessert. Excuse was they didn't anticipate number of diners. Seems odd when you only have ph or online bookings. 5 star food. 3 star management.
W.
COVID-19 lockdown aside, it has been a while since we last visited Thyme Square in their new Grey St premises. For our first meal out, we weren’t disappointed. The service remained exemplary, the food outstanding and the small things were done well - including a birthday card presented at the end of the evening for my mother-in-law who had marked her 70th in lockdown. We knew it was BYO and with the Liquorland just a block away it made for a more affordable two course meal, even with corkage and a per person glass charge.
G.
Our "Trust the Chef" dining experience was AMAZING. Perfect date night out with excellent service, delicious food and great location.
