Chef Andrew and owner knocked it out of the park tonight. Spouses shrimp special with mushrooms and spinach over pasta. Bread licking good . Lamb chops 3 of them were good.

Service by Todd was very good. Worth a drive and highly recommended.

We stopped in after not wanting to wait for BBQ. We are foodies from NYC and were so impressed with…read morethe quality of service, the historic building and the food. The menu is a mix of a chophouse with a large selection of chef selections from paella, pasta and schnitzel. The chef is a CIA graduate which is surprising to find in Central NY. The food was fresh and i noted that the chef makes his own bread, dressing, aioli's and desserts. It's clear the chef puts care into his work. We ordered - house salad - solid salad with house dressing. nice, nothing crazy - onion soup, this was excellent. really well done, from the croutons, cheese and flavor. wow - calamari - the only thing we didnt love - chicken schnitzle - excellent, authentic - scallops - fresh, perfectly cooked. a bit too sauced, but great - creamy garlic and spinach pasta - our kids didnt love, but decent The desserts were great as well. The restaurant was very accommodating to our casual attire and 3 young kids. Amazingly kind. The entire experience is a bit like going back in time, the historic nature of the setting is hard to explain, but you really feel it.

Since the parking lot is also used for the golf course, the lot was jammed and we needed to wait a few minutes for someone to leave. The menu was pretty good, but I didn't see anything that jumped out and grabbed me. Our wait staff suggested the Shrimp Po' Boy or Crab Cake Sandwich. I chose the Crab Cake, which was good, but maybe not great. The spicy fries were good. She did suggest it would be a littler more filling than the Shrimp Po' Boy. Daughter had a cheeseburger and fries, which appeared to be just like any other burger and fries. Great location and view were the best attributes for us that night, but we didn't get to try the dinner menu or drinks.

Seating affords a nice view of the course, so we were able to watch them teeing off, with a view of the University in the background. Good wine and draft beer list. Deputy Yelper raved about the Santa Fe chicken ("would order it again in a heart beat"). The veggie burger (black bean) was nicely dressed with aioli, LTO. Not too dry, which is often a problem with these things. Definitely should be on your list if looking for a good meal in Hamilton.

We were so impressed! It's very clean for a bar and the outside is beautifully finished. We had a blue moon and a burger-- it was one of the best burgers i've ever had from a restaurant. The bartender was extremely friendly and welcoming. Nice vibes all around from this little hole in the wall spot... can't wait to return on a date night :)

This was our first time to The Nest. We were interested in checking out their outdoor concert…read morearea. We arrived just as a local band was getting ready for a three hour set (4-7pm) on a Sunday afternoon. Cover charge was $5.00 each. There were quite a few people there, but there was still room to sit in the spacious outdoor deck/stage area. There's also an outside bar area to grab a drink, instead of having to run inside to the regular bar. Food was available, but we did not try anything. The indoor vathrooms were pretty small, but served the purpose. The music was very good, the sound was loud enough, without blaring out of the speakers. There's a roof over the outside deck, but it's in different sections, so the sun does shine though in areas, making it a little hot when it's hitting you. Our only complaint would be the amount of people that were smoking. There is no way to get away from the cigarette smoke wafting in your face. Other than that, it seems like a great venue to enjoy some live music, a drink and a bite to eat. We definitely plan on going back.

Formerly Quack's Village Inn, The Madison Hop (under new ownership) is a casual breakfast and lunch…read morelocated along US Route 20, just west of the Village of Madison. They serve up standard breakfast fare including eggs, pancakes, French toast, Belgian waffles, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos, omelets, breakfast sides, and US Foods coffee. For lunch, they serve up sandwich platters, burgers, wraps, soup, salads, chicken tenders, hand cut fries, sweet potato fries, fried cheese curds, desserts (pies, ice cream, strawberry shortcake, cookies), and Pepsifountain drinks. They also post daily specials. The place is pretty casual with stained glass overhanging lighting, table seating and stools up at the lunch counter. I stopped by here for a lunch break recently on my way out to Syracuse. The place was fairly busy just before 1pm. I got an ice water and decided on a posted special, which was the Country, Fried Chicken ($15.99 plus tax) served with mashed potatoes and veg of day. My entrée was served in 18 minutes after ordering. The portion of food was just right. The breaded cutlet smothered in a thick cream gravy was thick and actually a medium rare beefsteak inside. I was going a steak knife too. The homemade chunky mashed potatoes were also smothered in a thick cream gravy. The veg of day was cream of spinach. I finished my plate of food and requested the check shortly afterwards. The check was $17.27 with tax and before tip. Overall, I enjoyed good comfort food in a busy local restaurant. The service was hectic as the place was quite busy and the staff was working together to get things done before they closed up for the day at 2pm.

Kids menu too, very reasonable priced which I was surprised. My husband ordered an appetizer platter with his meal. He liked almost everything, but the potato skins tasted chemically- he didn't eat those. I had a buffalo chicken salad. It had very little veggies in it, not enough dressing. And the chicken (which I had asked for crispy came out grilled.) it was a little underwhelming for the $55 price tag for my family. I may go back in the future. The place was very nice, just wasn't super impressed with the food.

The chicken katsu was flavorful, juicy, breaded perfectly and topped with the most delicious sauce I've ever had on a chicken sandwich. My dinner date stated the scallops were cooked to perfection! We ended our evening with dessert & cocktails and as you can imagine from this review they were also very delicious! I would also like to highlight our waitress Mia.
