Why Travelers Love The Hamilton

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.5 / 5.0(9,644 reviews)

We had the best server George here at The Hamilton. George knew everything about the entire menu and we did need a lot of help pairing entrees and various wines as this menu is packed with all sorts of great combinations. I suggest the newer ‘wicked tuna sushi roll’ and the ‘cherry blossom roll’ then salmon sashimi. Pair this with a beautiful SavBlanc fromNew Zealand and you are set. Thank you George for your upbeat energy and making our time at The Hamilton a great one! We will absolutely be back! Food delicious and cooked perfectly. Service was impeccable and with attention to detail. Excellent environment and decor. We were fortunate enough to get a private booth with closed doors. I recommend you add the crab soup to your dinner. Decided to check this spot out on a hangry whim after a concert. Coming from a town where anything sit down decent is closed at 9-10 this was a very welcome change of pace. Caleb was our main bartender, and quite the vibe. Really made my wife and I feel welcome, without needing to order 4 drinks to take us serious. Sharp mixologist. Also: fantastic Negroni. First impression of a real Maryland style crab cake was delicious and tender! The autumn salad had a VERY leafy and bitter taste which is unusual and welcomed; loved. The she crab soup was Bussdown amazing, and the tenders were nothing to scoff at. Fries just a lil on the warm side, but wasn’t here for that. Thank all of you for the extended hospitality after hours, what a great display of showmanship teamwork and hospitality. Cheers Hamilton. Much love from ATL.♥️

Took my European family here for lunch after walking the mall for a few hours. The lobster roll was stuffed filled with lobsters in a delicious brioche bun. Accompanied by crunchy fries, and homemade coleslaw. This was a perfect pick me up. My dad had the lobster pasta. The crustaceans were juicy, and they didn’t skimp on the meat. I didn’t get a photo of the octopus ink colored linguine with fruit di mare but my nephew confirmed that it was absolutely delicious. Our server was pretty busy during the lunchtime rush. We thoroughly enjoyed it though. Definitely a great spot to take out of towners.

We came here for lunch and were seated after waiting for a few minutes without a reservation. The staff was friendly, and our server David was very professional. I had a tasty cheeseburger with a Caesar salad, while my husband enjoyed the sushi. The only downside was that the Caesar salad had a bit too much dressing—next time we’d ask for it on the side. The Hamilton has a lively atmosphere, great service, and a menu with something for everyone. Definitely worth a visit.
