    Phenomenal food and value for the money. Very kind service people who took great care of us. Only complaint is that the climate control is off. It was in the 40s outside and we had cold air blowing on us. We had to wear our coats through dinner.

    The staff at Hamilton Walker’s is phenomenal. The bartender(s)is exceptional. The food is consistently good. It is noisy, so it’s perfect for celebratory meals and gatherings, while less so for business or intimate dinners.

    Not that busy of a Saturday night but our dinner took 90 min to come out. Seems like server forgot our table. Steak was bland and overcooked. Just amateur hour.
