    Hamilton’s is always excellent. Servers are attuned to what the table needs (giving time for diners who want to talk before ordering, for example) and food quality is always consistent. Ambiance is perfect- attractive, warm, intimate and open.

    My husband & I had an incredible experience at Mockingbird. We had a special announcement we wanted to share with family that they completely took the reins on coordinating and making it happen! They helped personalize a “specials” menu as a pregnancy announcement & matched the font/style to their menu, placed it in their menu book etc. for us, to make it special! They were so responsive and reliable & made our vision come to life. Not to mention, the food was absolutely delicious! We will be back for sure, and definitely want to try the patio, it’s a lovely vibe out there!
