We’re not just for celebrating, and we’re not just a steakhouse: we’re the sophisticated dining experience that every steakhouse wants to be when it grows up.

    We had a perfect Mother's Day dinner on the outside porch. The food was outstanding and the service was impeccable. When the tap went dead on my husband's preferred beer, they apologized profusely, promptly got him his second choice beer, and did not charge us for the beer. We really appreciated the effort and for going above and beyond.

    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.

    Steak and frites for $19! Nough said. Food was great, service was excellent, and the atmosphere was on point. Only complaint (minor) was the green “highchair” they put me in with my back to the door—lost all feeling in my legs, a$$, and feet. I would absolutely frequent this place—one of the best restaurants in C’Ville!!
