Hamiltons' at First & Main offers an outstanding dining experience with excellent food, friendly and professional staff, and a vibrant atmosphere. The menu features a variety of delectable dishes, including the acclaimed crabcakes, tenderloin, and seared duck breast, as well as herb & sausage ravioli. Guests can enjoy live music and a well-curated drink menu, with the bartender doing great work, especially with martinis and old fashioneds. The restaurant provides a warm and lively environment, whether dining indoors or outdoors, with nice tables outside on beautiful evenings. The wait staff is attentive and first class, and the service is excellent. The food is consistently well-received, with favorites like the stuffed mushroom appetizer, crab cakes, ravioli, and lamb meatball starter, and others at the table happy with their meals. The presentation was lovely and the food was delicious. Diners can chat with family for hours and never feel rushed. The prices are reasonable, and the overall experience is memorable and enjoyable, making Hamiltons' a popular local gem that offers an all-around fantastic dining experience.
However, recent reviews mention that the restaurant can be very loud, making it difficult to enjoy conversations, especially during live music performances. The guitar player, while good, was considered distracting by some guests. Service has been described as inconsistent; one visitor experienced average service with a hostess who was somewhat forgetful and unprofessional, including dropping a glass nearby. Another guest noted that service during a lunch visit was slow, with long waits for orders and food, which was challenging during a busy lunch rush. Despite these issues, many diners still enjoyed their meals and the lively environment, especially when dining with friends or family.
