Hexagon Restaurant

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a thoughtfully crafted 13-course tasting menu at Hexagon, a one Michelin-starred restaurant in downtown Oakville. The meal was a journey of flavours, displaying a blend of ingredients and culinary techniques from around the world. However, while the meal was overall enjoyable, and beautifully prepared, not every course resonated with my personal palate. One particular course, where we were required to build our own taco, also felt out of place for a fine dining setting. For the price point and level of service, I expected the food to be fully prepared and presented to me, rather than requiring any assembly. That said, I would be open to revisiting Hexagon to explore their regular menu, which I’m hopeful would offer something that is more well suited for my tastes. The ambiance of the restaurant is both cozy, modern, and sleek making it a great spot for both casual meals and special occasions. The evening dress code seemed to lean toward business casual, making it an accessible yet refined environment. The staff were all exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Upon arrival, they offered to check in our coats before escorting us to our table, further demonstrating their attention to detail.

Elegant family dinner at Hexagon. Service was warm and friendly, our server made sure we were comfortable at all times. I especially loved our main course waiter who came over and explained each dish and spoke to my kids as well. The food was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. Our steak was cooked the way we liked it and was probably the best we have had. Thank you to the bartender for making me a totally different drink not on the menu as I wanted to stick with the same liquor, but a different drink. Thanks to our waitress for making the suggestion. The only thing I would mention is that we were seated near of the front entrance. So every time the door opened, it became uncomfortable and cold. I would like to suggest another seating arrangement for the winter. I can imagine for the summer the door opening would be welcoming. I would definitely come back to Hexagon.

The initial experience wasn't the best when it came to being seated. We were expecting someone at the front checking people in as they came in for their reservations but it was a bit chaotic where someone would come in randomly asking if you've been checked in and then leave and then another person asking again. Because of that another couple was checked in and seated before us and even though we were there before them. Once we were seated though, the experience was more positive and the tasting menu that we had made up for the negative experience, hence 4 stars for service. The 7-course tasting menu was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was great and the front of house service was very pleasant and attentive. You also got to watch the head chef and the kitchen staff do their magic through a completely open concept front kitchen. There wasn't much noise coming from the kitchen activities to disrupt the dining experience either. Think 'Hell's Kitchen' minus the yelling and screaming. It was a lot more orderly and extremely organized. The wait staff was able to communicate with the kitchen staff extremely discretely with any issues that might arise and seamlessly take care of the issue at hand.

Thad high hopes for Haxegon given its Michelin 1-star rating, and while the food was undeniably amazing, there were a few things that really impacted my experience. First, the food presentation could be improved-though the flavors were great, the way it was presented didn't quite match the level I was expecting. The service, unfortunately, was the biggest letdown. We weren't offered a coat check upon arrival, so my friend and I had to leave our coats on our chairs, which felt a little odd. There was no introduction to the menu, and no one mentioned the tasting menu, which I was specifically interested in. We were just handed the à la carte menu, and then the server returned to take our order with no personal touch. The service felt cold and distant—our server didn't seem very friendly, which was surprising for a Michelin-starred restaurant. On a positive note, there was an EV charger available near the restaurant, which was a great convenience as my EV car wasn't charged enough to make it home without a top-up. This was definitely a plus for me. Overall, I had higher expectations and, unfortunately, I won't be returning based on this experience.

The service was exceptional, the atmosphere inviting, and the quality of the food was nothing short of superb. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a remarkable dining experience. I would rate it a perfect 10 out of 10. Each dish was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, making for a delightful experience. This place truly excels in every aspect.

Very delicious meal. We had the tasting and it did not disappoint! They really try to cater to your needs and help you celebrate your special occasion. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. They validate your parking when the park inside the parking garage. This makes things so easy because the square can get really busy. Vibes were also 👌, even coming for a drink would be a nice treat.

Absolutely phenomenal! Hexagon is an absolute must-visit. From the moment we walked in, everything was nothing short of perfection. The service was impeccable, the food was a culinary masterpiece, the drinks were flawlessly crafted, and the attention to detail elevated the entire evening into something truly extraordinary. Our server, John, went above and beyond to ensure we had a remarkable experience—he was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely fantastic. Hats off to the entire team at Hexagon for delivering a dining experience that truly lives up to its Michelin-star status. Bravo!

Hexagon is a Michelin star located right in the heart of downtown Oakville, providing access to not only fine dining, but critically acclaimed dining to people outside of Toronto. First and foremost, the service at that restaurant was absolutely terrific, especially our primary waiter (Sasha/Shelly? Something begining with an "S"; writing this review ~2 weeks after, so forgetting the name). It was her attention to the little details that really stood out to me, such as not only asking for my name, but my partner's name as well. Made for a truly more inclusive environment, which is something I wouldn't necessarily expect at a restaurant. She was also very attentive to our needs, and it felt like you almost never had to ask for anything as she almost anticipated our needs and would always ensure our glasses were full. The other wait staff were amazing as well; they would provide us with our dish, and provide us with a breakdown of the meal. Of note, in respect to the service, was the bill paying ceremony. Not that it's different from any other restaurant, but they provide the bill in this very cute little dish of sorts - again it's the attention to detail and presentation that stands out. Speaking of presentation, the restaurant itself has a wonderful interior, with two stories of dining/tables. We were fortunate enough to have a corner table by a window, in front of this beautifully crafted floating fireplace. Made for an incredible view. The tables and set up were also great, specifically this little rectangle serving dish of sorts, where you could easily rest your utensils (as opposed to leaving them on your plate). The only negative detail about the atmosphere/service was the knife they provided with the meal? For some reason both of ours were dull, and it appeared to be the same with the table beside us. That being said, our waiter was more than accommodating in providing us with a more appropriate alternative when requested. In respect to the food, it was incredibly good! My review currently stands at 4/5 for the food only because it was not overly hot, and this was with both of our dishes. I understand that food needs to rest at times, but unsure if it rested for too long? More than willing to change my review to 5/5 in future, assuming the temperature of the food differs. The dessert option was great, and unique as well which was a delight to try! Certainly a must have if you're looking for a dessert after your meal
