The Grey — Restaurant in Hamilton

We saw post on Facebook about the opening and decided to check it out. We were a little confused about how things worked, as when we arrived it was somewhat crowded but no employee at the door at that time. We didn’t realize Carmagnola was not yet open. So, we’re just trying to figure out where to go. Soon, we were greeted by the manager who’d been seating other guests. She was helpful, welcoming and we felt valued as guests.

As previously mentioned, we were initially interested in dining at Carmagnola on 3rd, but learned they aren’t quite open yet. The Grey is the sister business, right next door. Although our initial intent wasn’t The Grey, we’re glad things worked out as they did. We had a really nice time and are excited for this addition in Hamilton.

The vibe is great. We loved the atmosphere, the employees and the food. They’ve only been open a few weeks, and while the staff is still admittedly learning, they were fantastic. Our servers were kind and knowledgeable. Even the server who was training and it was her first day, she did great! We believe The Grey fills a much needed niche in Hamilton for small bites and drinks with a “classy” feel. We were seated upstairs, it’s a more quiet space, and was nice.

The food- yum! We like looking at reviews for suggestions and always appreciate visuals, so I included some in the review. We ordered the Charcuterie board with the add on accompaniments of Marinated Goat Cheese & Caponata (2nd photo), Freedom Farms Lamb Spedini - you choose how many screwers you’d like to order (3rd photo) and Local Lamb Sausage Stuffed Banana Peppers (4th photo) and added on some bread. Many of these items we’d never heard of before, but are glad we tried them, they were truly delicious. The presentation was lovely and you can tell that the chef takes pride in the dishes. My husband also had a couple beers.

We will be back soon and are excited to see how this all comes together with the sister business next door. The smallest suggestion- we would have loved to see the addition of some hard cheese and another choice of bread or cracker included with the charcuterie board.

Well done The...
