We had a group of 11 attending Hamilton, and the staff immediately accommodated us and made sure all our requests were met and we were served in a timely manner. Our table had a variety of selections - the filet, ahi tuna, chicken piccata, lamb, escargot, scallops, lobster bisque, goat cheese and wedge salads, etc.. and everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection! We definitely will have dinner there again!

I normally tip 20% or more, but I did not like the forced automatic 18% gratuity… and the service was a bit too casual/informal for an upscale restaurant… plus the food was very good but not outstanding.

We have been going to the Wine Cellar for over forty years. It is without question one of the top five restaurants in Jacksonville. Once again we had a great experience; the fotwas superb as usual, the service impeccable and the ambiance unbeatable.

Our server was rude. Bob. He was rushing us and when we paid our check, he picked up the bill holder turned his back to see what we left. The food was delicious.

Stiff, cardboard environment. Pleasant staff, pleasant clean environment however felt the need to only speak in whisper tones. Not particularly my type of enjoyable atmosphere.
