Reviews
A beautiful restaurant with a relaxed warming vibe serving outstanding food.
The tuna crudo was simple and elegant with evenly balance of flavors, and the beet salad made me actually excited about vegetables (a rare feat I sadly admit). The sirloin with mushroom sauce? It was so tender and flavorful, but the mushrooms and sauce stole the show. The inventor of this version of shrimp and grits deserves a standing ovation because, WOW! A delicious pairing of creamy goodness and perfectly seared shrimp.
The cocktails were dangerously drinkable – I may have channeled my inner Shakespeare and had “one drink too many” (but regret nothing).
Something is absolutely NOT rotten in the state of this kitchen. 10/10, and will feast here again.
It’s a popular restaurant, so reservations are recommended. If you’re able to get a seat at the bar, that’s a great option as well. We arrived right when they opened on a Friday night and were seated immediately, but within minutes the restaurant was full. (On a return visit, I learned they will take your name and number for a callback if you’re hoping for bar seating.)
Tim was our bartender and provided exceptional service. He was attentive without being intrusive, checked in at the right times, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal.
The cocktails were very well done, especially the martinis. At the end of the evening, we ordered an espresso martini, and Tim thoughtfully split it into two glasses for us to share!
The menu changes seasonally, which keeps things interesting. We ordered the bread and butter and the salmon. The bread arrived warm with a lightly sweet whipped butter topped with black sea salt. The salmon was perfection with crispy skin and tender, flaky meat.
I can’t speak highly enough about Hamlet & Ghost. From the atmosphere to the drinks, food, and service this restaurant is a 10/10
The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the servers overall was solid. The decor is tasteful and clean, with a nice blund between the bar and dining areas.
The special of the day was the muscles, which were delicious and generously sauced. The duck fat fries were crispy – so good that you might want to ask for extra mayo on the side for tipping. The smoked duck came in a modest portion, so having extra table bread on hand is a smart move.
The ghost burger started off a bit salty on the first bite, but the flavor balanced out nicely as you ate. You could really taste the quality of the fresh, not overly greasy, meat. Overall, the food was spot on and everyone at the table enjoyed their meal.
However, a few downsides: the $26 old-fashioned was overpriced and pretty average at best. And they added a 4% kitchen fee to the bill without any prior notice. While we understand rising costs due to inflation and need to support staff, we believe that should be reflected in the manual pricing or wages – not as a fee. Just a different style of management, I suppose.
