Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Hamilton

We hadn’t visited the Black Olive in several years, mostly because we were avoiding downtown Bmore because of the squeegee issues around the city. We’re happy that this appears to be a thing of the past. We enjoyed a wonderful meal last night. We arrived and were seated in the back room. There are 4 or 5 tables in this room. We ordered raw oysters, stuffed calamari, and octopus salad for appetizers. We had a grilled whole snapper and while black sea bass for entrees. We had a bottle of Assyrtiko wine from Santorini. For dessert, we shared baklava ice cream. Everything was well prepared and delicious. The stuffed calamari was a standout. We look forward to returning again soon.

We took our daughter here for her 21st birthday and she was more than impressed. They went above and beyond in showing that her special night was important. Everyone said Happy Birthday, the singer had a special conversation with her, and then we were “VIP’d” to the speakeasy next door for a night cap. The Monarque is absolutely amazing. The food, service, and atmosphere are top notch! Thank you!

Ruxton's was fantastic. I had the Bone-in-Delmonico steak, cooked to a PERFECT medium, with truffle butter as an accoutrement, I could not be more satisfied with my choice. I have eaten at plenty of steak houses on par with Ruxton's, but my meal at Ruxton's was as good as the very best of them, if not better. I would recommend Ruxton's to anyone as a top notch dining experience!

Quite literally the best crab omelette I've ever eaten. The ambiance and decor are pitch-perfect: not too formal, with just enough elegant simplicity to add to the overall experience. The staff are knowledgeable professionals who know how to set and serve a table. Gertrude's is my go-to when friends and family visit, or when I want a dining experience that is a cut above!

Topside DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The food was 10/10. Our serve (I want to mention her name to give credit but I won’t in order to remain compliant) whose name started with L could NOT have been sweeter or more helpful. They have a fantastic N/A beverage selection and the ambience and view are amazing. The only slight nock would be the standing group of about 15 people who came in around 9pm and remaining standing until we left at around 9:30. They were either waiting for tables or simply standing and meeting. The room became quite loud form that point on. But even still, Topside is now a top 3 restaurant in Baltimore for my liking. I will be returning to dine there without question!
