Customer Reviews
We had a wonderful retirement luncheon here this past Friday and I cannot speak highly enough of Hamilton's! We had planned this before the holiday's- communication was clear and responsive. Arriving Friday, Logan greeted me and had menus printed out with a personal message for our retiree on each of them, discussed champagne options- he was very knowledgeable and kind! The room was spacious for our 18 attendees with a private entrance and restroom. We had two lovely waitstaff who were professional and attentive- especially to food allergies/restrictions! The food was delicious- a 3 course meal with plenty of options to suit everyone. I would recommend Hamilton's for any private event you may have coming up!
Wonderful meal! The crab cakes are divine and hubs’ ravioli was delicious. Great service, as well! Oh and definitely get the sticky toffee apple cake. We took it to go, amazing!
Table for 3 at this nice little place off main. It was July 4th weekend and it was slow. We tried many items and each was very good. Service was perfect. I’d be here once a week if I lived here. The chowder was the best thing I ate all week.
Complelety average. Service was slow, even on a night when there were several empty tables. The food was nothing to remember. The mussels were under seasoned and the broth bitter, not great. The shrimp and grits were cooked and seasoned well, but nothing in the dish warranted the $$.
Hamiltons' offers a warm, inviting atmosphere with preserved dark wood architecture that adds to its charm. We were seated at the bar, where the excellent bartender provided outstanding service. I enjoyed two drinks: The Optimist, a classic Old Fashioned done right, and the Divot Stomp Old Fashioned, a refreshing surprise that felt like a gin and tonic crafted in true "old fashioned" style. We ordered the calamari as an appetizer. It was perfectly tender and not overcooked which can be quite hard to do. My shrimp and grits were delicious and came in a generous portion. Others in the group ordered the Arctic Char (fairly certain this is what it was), mushroom risotto and a juicy thick pork chop. The consensus from the group is that Hamiltons' delivered impeccable food, service, and atmo
