Update- Our brunch was delicious. The chicken and waffle were amazing, consisting of a fluffy waffle and tender, juicy chicken. The bacon on top of the waffle was crispy and delicious. The salmon with potato cake was also delicious and full of flavor. Mel, our bartender/server provided excellent service.
– Both servers delivered outstanding service and were attentive.
It started with the valet. I’m not entirely sure if the hotel valet is officially affiliated with the restaurant, but given that it’s all in the same building, I’m assuming they are. I waited about 25 minutes while they were clearly busy. When the valet finally came over to my car, he told me they had reached capacity. The frustrating part is that he had been talking to the car in front of me for over 10 minutes—he could have easily waved us off, yelled that valet was full, or put up a sign. Instead, he ignored the situation and walked away, which set a poor tone from the start.
As for the restaurant itself, the food was okay but nothing memorable.
• The calamari was extremely crispy—more like eating crunchy chips than calamari.
• The salad was decent, but using kale really requires a creamier dressing; it felt under-dressed.
• The fries were fine, nothing special.
• The pasta dish had a sour taste that didn’t seem intentional.
The most disappointing part was the ribeye steak. I fully understand that ribeye has a good amount of fat, but this steak was absolutely not worth $90. It was shockingly small—maybe two bites at best—and for a place that isn’t even a steakhouse, the price is unjustifiable.
To make things worse, as we were leaving the restaurant—since they were already closed—we passed by the bar area to exit and the bartender loudly said, “Sorry gentlemen, the bar is closed.” It was obvious we were coming from the dining area and simply trying to leave, not ordering drinks.
Overall, the staff felt uncoordinated and the experience lacked polish. Between the valet issue, overpriced food, and awkward service moments, this was a very poor first impression.
Aside from that, we were seated quickly and noticed there’s even outdoor seating available.
The music was a mix of 90s and early 2000s R&B, which immediately put us in a good mood. For drinks, my friend and I ordered pineapple mimosas, and they were amazing. I even asked if they were made with fresh pineapple juice because they were that good. The only con was that they weren’t bottomless.
For food, my friend ordered the hashbrowns, and I had the pancakes with a side of bacon. Both were amazing. The bacon was perfectly crispy with a portion size that exceeded expectations, and the pancakes had the perfect balance of crisp and softness paired with syrup. Just so good. My friend really enjoyed her hashbrowns too, she just mentioned they could’ve used some hot sauce.
Our server was attentive the whole time, which I appreciated. Despite the awkward encounter in the beginning, I’d definitely come back for brunch or dinner and would recommend this spot. The decor and aesthetic make it a great place for celebrations, work events, or birthdays.
Thank you for having us!
Had dinner at Hamilton’s Restaurant and honestly, it started off on the right foot. The server was friendly, super chatty, and the vibe was warm and relaxed. I only had a couple of appetizers and some wine, but everything was pleasant—no complaints there. A nice evening overall.
However… breakfast the next morning was a totally different story. We were staying at the hotel, so figured we’d pop in again. Big mistake. The place was clearly short-staffed, and it showed. Long wait just to be seated, and once we finally were, our server was nowhere near as friendly or attentive. The food took forever, came out lukewarm and unimpressive, and no one even checked on us to see if we needed anything or how the food was.
So yeah, the dinner was good, but breakfast was chaos. Overall, 3 stars feels fair. It might just depend on when you go and who’s working, but I personally wouldn’t rush back for round two. That’s your call. Good luck out there.
