    Waited 10 mins once sat for server who informed us he was up until 3am the night before and apologized for the delay. Ordered some bread with the soup (we both ordered soup). Was not informed there would be a charge. Bread didn't show up at the table until after the soup was cleared and our main courses had arrived. We ultimately weren't charged when I said to take the bread away and we would not be paying for it. Waited a minimum of 10 minutes for refills on drinks (diet coke and iced tea). At this point we involved 2 managers. Was offered free dessert. My guest ordered. I did not. Finally got our refills and was told by 1 of the managers that he would "keep an eye on us". Why wasn't this done in the 1st place? Lots of apologies. Lots of "we're backed up". Not good. Food was ok. I have been going to this restaurant since the day it opened, literally. This experience unfortunately tells me what direction it is headed in the future.

    My steak was burnt and not a premium filet cut. Sushi was better than the steak but not great. Calamari was good. Bumped in the head by staff changing table. They apologized but ridiculous. Drinks were horrible. The name eventually will run out on this place. Expected better

    Such a beautiful restaurant with all of the beautiful woodwork and art. Very comforting to eat there. The service and food is great. My waitress actually helped me find my phone after i left it and someone turned it in. The Bronzino was delicious.

    We are regular diners at The Hamilton and always have a wonderful dining experience so this may have been an “off day.” Food was above average but service was very, very slow. We waited about 45 minutes to order and another 45 minutes until our food arrived with very few “check ins” by our server while we waited. (A drink I ordered in fact, never arrived during that time.) We were there mid afternoon and the restaurant was not busy. We had a show to get to so when we finally got dinner it was rushed as a result. (We told our server we had a time constraint and had allowed two hours for dinner. Instead, we had less than thirty minutes to enjoy our meal when it finally arrived.) The only thing that was rushed was settling the bill! Our server checked back twice- while we were eating, to collect it. This was a special occasion that we had been planning for months. It turned out to be a big disappointment, overall. We will give The Hamilton one more try but if we have another dining experience like this one, it will be our last.
