Best Steak Restaurants in Hamilton

We happened upon Jags by pure happenstance tonight, the night before Thanksgiving, while traveling to family for the holiday. We were stuck in traffic on 75N and decided we didn’t have it in us to make it all the way to Fort Wayne. 11 hours for a normal 6.5 hour trip is just ridiculous. We booked the Staybridge and I booked a bar reservation at Jags thanks to reviews here, not even realizing it was in the same parking lot! What a fortunate surprise! From walking in the door, to our experience with Dan and his colleague, a lovely gal with rooster earrings, but I can’t recall her name for the life of me, everything was absolutely phenomenal!! The crab bisque, filet and crab cake, the sides, the CARROT CAKE! The espresso martini the Weller CYPB…all of it top notch! Don’t even hesitate or question it. Just go!

As always a fantastic meal at a great place. Food was delicious and although one steak came to the table cooked incorrectly, it was replaced within mere minutes. Hardly noticeable. The sides were equally delicious and the service was spot on from the valet to the wait staff. Enjoyable night for my family of 5!

We visited for our 35th anniversary dinner. Communication leading up to our arrival was very good. We walked in the door at 7PM for our 7PM Monday night reservation and were taken right to our table after a quick coat check. Our waiter was very friendly and got to us immediately. Her timing throughout the evening was spot on. We ordered the Millon $ deviled eggs as an appetizer, two of their 6 oz filet dinners, creme brulee sweet corn (divine!) and a bottle of Stag's Leap Pinot Noir. The eggs were four presented and dressed on a long, narrow platter. They were good but a little bland for our deviled egg tastes. The creme brulee corn was the star of the show. Highly, highly recommend this dish. The whipped potatoes and asparagus accompanying the steaks were excellent and cooekd just right. Our only let down were the steaks themselves. They were good, but Jag's or The Precinct are several points above these. For dessert, we passed but they brought us some strawberry ice cream with a cookie and a card signed by everyone working. We also stopped at the bar on the way out and tried their Horse Soldier old fashioneds. Good, but not $23 each good. Overall the meal with tax, tip and the bar visit was around $400.

I cannot say enough about our experience last night. Erick and Kumar did such an amazing job and never left us wanting. Big shoutout to Chef Tone and the rest of the culinary team as all of our food was on point! Thank you for such an incredible evening. We will definitely be back!

The food quality was excellent, per usual. We were a large family group (myself, my husband, my teenage & young adult children, and my mom who is visiting from out of state) and everyone loved their food. The seafood night on Tuesday is a great value! Our server, Taylor, was attentive & friendly. Some of us shared a giant slice of carrot cake for dessert and it was one of the best desserts I have ever had. I thought my teenage son was going to lick the plate!
