Hamiltons' at First & Main

We had a wonderful retirement luncheon here this past Friday and I cannot speak highly enough of Hamilton's!

We had planned this before the holiday's- communication was clear and responsive. Arriving Friday, Logan greeted me and had menus printed out with a personal message for our retiree on each of them, discussed champagne options- he was very knowledgeable and kind!

The room was spacious for our 18 attendees with a private entrance and restroom. We had two lovely waitstaff who were professional and attentive- especially to food allergies/restrictions! The food was delicious- a 3 course meal with plenty of options to suit everyone. I would recommend Hamilton's for any private event you may have coming up!

We love Hamilton's! We come from upstate ny to visit our grandparents and Hamilton's has become our #1 choice for many years! Garrison was our server and was perfect! Delicious cocktails, great vibe! Thank you!

Hamilton's is always a great choice. The service is top notch, the menu is varied, and the food is exceptional. My recent visit was a business lunch, and this was the perfect spot.

The service was very good but for a fine dining restaurant I thought the food was very lazy. Nothing stood out as remarkable. Then again, the pricing is a bit more reasonable than your typical fine dining experience. I've had equally uninspiring food at country clubs like The Boar's head. They really aren't fine dining. They are “upscale lazy.” From the produce selection to textures and flavors and under/over cooking.

Very classic place with excellent service and live music. Shrimps and grits were mediocre.

Everything was perfect, especially the Sancerre rouge paired with the Tenderloin. Staff A+++.

One approaches Hamiltons at First and Main with a hopeful expectation, and departs with that expectation not merely met, but handsomely rewarded.

Our repast commenced with a beet burrata of uncommon balance, earthy sweetness tempered by cream, each element in thoughtful harmony, as though composed rather than assembled. It served as a persuasive opening argument in favor of what was to follow.

The salmon, prepared with evident care and restraint, achieved that most elusive virtue of cookery: excellence without ostentation. Perfectly executed, it required no embellishment beyond its own integrity. My companion’s mushroom ravioli was equally commendable, deep, savory, and composed with a richness that never lapsed into excess.

The drinks deserve particular note. They were not merely accompaniments, but contributors to the evening’s success—well-judged, confident, and memorable in their own right.

In sum, this establishment demonstrates what may be achieved when attention, skill, and respect for ingredients are joined in common purpose. Should one seek an evening of thoughtful food and exceptional drink, Hamiltons at First and Main stands as a most worthy choice.

Excellent service andalways tasty cuisine! Love the crab and corn chowder and entree selection.

Our food and service were excellent. The server and the rest of the team were very nice, and the atmosphere and music made the meal even better. We will definitely return.

Hamilton's is consistently good. I don't think it's outstanding, but it's definitely good...you can count on it. Everywhere is pricey right now, so it's no worse than anywhere else. They always seem to try to seat us near the kitchen, which I don't love, but it was fine.
