First I want to acknowledge our server Jazz, she was fantastic. Great food. Was only our second time to the James St location. My mistake for forgetting it was the last day of March break with Disney on Ice so there were more kids there for my liking but that’s on me. We forgot to ask, where does the $1 go for the MVP Pizza as we hadn’t seen the MVP employee of the month posted. Would be upsetting if you advertise this and it’s not going to the employees. We will be back!!!

I'm a big fan of Bread Bar on James. Great ambiance. Wonderful servers. Tremendously tasty food. As a vegan, I appreciate that they provide some options on their menu and they are also willing to modify some options for me. Prices are higher than in some places in Hamilton but the value for the money is there. I highly recommend this place for both lunch and dinner.

We made a reservation for four before the lacrosse game. Table was ready without delay. The server was prompt, pleasant and helpful. Our food and drinks were served without delay. We ordered the bread platter to share and were impressed with the dish. We all ordered pizzas and were very happy. Tasty, well cooked and offering 8-10 unique and delicious options We plan on returning next month.

Service felt like we were being rushed even though the restaurant was less than half full. Server removed our appetizers while there was still food on the plate. I had ordered Mac and cheese with side beet salad, something I order frequently at the Locke at location. The pasta was undercooked, had a weird taste And runny consistency, the beet salad had less of the ingredients that come on it like the crumble and was missing the goat cheese. The server never did ask about our meals. The icing on the cake though was that a friend who wasn’t able to make it called the restaurant to purchase desserts for the three of us as we were celebrating a birthday. When I spoke with her afterwards she asked me how we enjoyed the dessert. We were never offered a dessert. The birthday girl Was offered a brownie but nobody told us why and I assumed it was because I had put a birthday celebration in the comments when booking. My friend said that when she called and was speaking with the manager that he said that if we didn’t want dessert he would offer us something else. Disappointing that the restaurant would take her money without offering us what she paid for or even let us know about her gesture. I frequently attend the Locke st location and it has always been spectacular with food and service. I would go there instead.

Vibrant but loud and crowded. The waitstaff’s butt was touching our table. Kind of gross. Waiter forgot the ice I requested for my wine which is fine but then it was brought in a pint glass for which I was charged a beer for on my bill. Oh and the tip option on top of the taxes hast to be addressed. That’s ripping customers off.

The lights are on max. Great if you’re planning on doing some surgery there. Not great if you’d like a pleasant evening out. Ambience matched that of a 1980s food court.

Normally everything is usually awesome. Not so much this time. We ordered 2 appetizers, soup and a salad to share. Requested that the soup and salad be brought out as our main. Ten minutes later, everything was brought out which left us no room to move. Was not fun one bit. By the time we got to some of the food, it was already cold. Please listen to your guests requests.

Food was amazing, it was pretty loud but there was a large table there of around 12 so probably added to the noise level. Our waiter was maybe tired or had worked too long but seemed to not really care and just be going through the motions. It was also difficult to hear him since it was so loud and he spoke very soft and monotone.

We all ordered different things. I had the cheeseburger. There was TOO much sauce on it. This was a no bread cheeseburger. It was difficult to view or taste the patty. It was one of the skinniest patties I think I have had. This is not the first time that we’ve been to Bread Bar, but this was the worst food. There was three of us in the party. The other two had pizzas which were different and they both said that “it didn’t taste good at all”. It definitely wasn’t as good as the Locke St location. I was wondering if there was a new chef.
