    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.

    Always a great experience. Reliable, consistent, good value. Was my birthday and anniversary though and it was not acknowledged by waitress . Host gave his well wishes. Would have expected some pomp.

    The food here was good and our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. The vibe is definitely cool, it feels old and new at the same time. My only complaint was that it took over an hour for us to have lunch and all we ordered was sandwiches. It’s not a place to stop if you are on a tight sight seeing schedule, but overall we definitely enjoyed it.

    Took my girlfriend here for dinner older building but looks beautiful inside. Waiter was excellent mentioned her birthday was kind and helpful. Had drinks that were great I had the Hamilton Mule She had a sangria drink. Tried the wings as a starter they where excellent don’t look at them as just wings not everyone can make a good wing. Had good texture fried to perfection not real greasy and the sauce was great. Entrées I had the scallops over black pepper grits She had sushi the caterpillar roll both were excellent.
