Reviews
However, moments later, the staff approached us and informed us that they were done seating for the day, asking us to leave. At first, I didn’t think much of it, although I noticed many people still sitting, enjoying their beverages and food. As we exited, my mother observed another group entering. They spoke with the same staff, ordered drinks, and sat where we had just been told to leave.
I tried to discuss this with Brian, the manager at Hamilton Inn, but he was extremely dismissive, justifying the treatment by saying his staff was “tired.” Frustrated and hurt, I went outside to record a video, which I later posted on Nextdoor. Only then did Brian start to take us seriously. He offered to seat us, but by then, we had already decided to leave. We told him we were heading to Ed & Mary’s instead.
Against our request, Brian followed us to Ed & Mary’s, trying to explain that it was simply a misunderstanding. I repeatedly asked him to give us space and let us enjoy the rest of our Sunday, but he continued to hover, insisting the situation wasn’t “what we thought,” which only reinforced our suspicions.
Later, I spoke to the owners, who told me that “I had work to do” in figuring out how they should proceed with sensitivity training. The meeting felt similar to our encounter with Brian, with the owners expressing how much sleep they had lost and how our experience impacted them, while insisting it wasn’t racially motivated.
I haven’t been back since. Attached is an image of myself and my mother before the incident, a reminder of a visit that should have been joyous but ended in profound disappointment and hurt.
Serving drinks from an Airstream and food from the Hamilton Inn menu, this is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the restaurant experience during lockdown. The staff is friendly and everything is quite good.
My only complaint is that everything on the menu is $2-$4 more expensive than it should be.
