This was a beautiful restaurant!! They will definitely be seeing me again. Eduardo was an excellent waiter, I would love to see him again! He told us a lil about his family as well, so personable. I ordered the shrimp and grits and they did not disappoint with the shrimp, sausage, nor cheese!
This weekend I dined at Hamilton's Kitchen for the first time. A friend of mine rented a private room for an event. When you arrive, valet will park your vehicle for you (valet tickets are validated by the restaurant so make sure to do this before you leave). Walking in, the restaurant is past a lobby/bar area on your right. The place has a gentle vibe. It's beautifully decorated and was a perfect place to host brunch with the girls. Our waitress was Gabrielle. She gave great advice about the menu, helped us order drinks we'd like, and was very attentive. I ordered the crab and asparagus omelet with hollandaise sauce, a side of bacon, and a side of cheesy stone ground grits. The average meal is around $20. The grits were my favorite--they were absolutely delicious. To drink, I had a PERFECT mimosa, an espresso martini (because I have to order one everywhere I go), and a lemon drop martini. The drinks were all delicious. Can't wait to return to give this place another go. Thank you, Gabrielle!
-Magical Dining 2025- Hamilton's Kitchen was my kickoff to MD 2025 and was a lovely start! We were excited about the well varied menu and came ready to sample the variety. I personally went with Caesar Salad for the starter which is my lowest scoring plate from the evening. Honestly lacking flavor and the one anchovy atop the dish felt misplaced. I prefer its presence in the dressing. But the lentil soup and grilled peach burrata plates were much better. If I were to get a do over, I'd go burrata. Better flavor throughout. As far as main plates, I was very satisfied with the airline chicken. The entire dish felt well executed and the sides paired nicely. The salmon was also exceptional and came with one of the tastiest sauces I've ever had! Dessert was my favorite and I stand firm in my choice to go with the bread pudding which was served perfectly warm with some berries for freshness. The portion was so generous as were all of the plates served! This is definitely one of the better valued options as far as magical dining is concerned. I really enjoyed Hamilton's Kitchen and look forward to returning. The service was friendly and I did enjoy the atmosphere inside although look forward to dining on the expansive outdoor patio during the cooler months!
Lovely Winter Park hotel dining room with an ambitious menu. Acoustically a bit noisy, servers competent but not as attentive as they could be. Fresh fish usually a good option.
1 year later we are back, but probably never again. This place really went downhill in 1 years time. The Cesar salad and pasta dish were too salty, the chicken entree had no flavor, was luke warm, and dry. The salmon was good, I was told and while the shrimp and scallops tasted good going down, I was sick 3 times later that night. The sticky toffee pudding was neither sticky nor toffee, it was 3 small slices of raisin like bread with raisins and a smear of cream. Totally underwhelming for $10! Service and ambiance were good, but not worth the price and disappointing food!
After reading the reviews I was glad I'm not alone on this. The food and the service really wasn't on par with what the price is. I walked in on Mother's Day and sat at the bar. The bartender was very cold. Nice, but not a smile or a friendly remark when I tried to talk to her . My date wanted a table but since it was res only , we ended up at the bar. I ordered three proccezcos for our lunch with was probably my favorite thing. It was nice ! But that's kinda where everything stopped . We ordered the fried green tomatoes and we got it and there was no goat cheese so we alerted the bartender and she said they made the wrong one. She apologized and it was fine- we received our new dish and it barely had goat cheese on it at all. The menu boasted whipped goat cheese like it would be in abundance. The dish was good, just wasn't what we were expecting. For our main, I ordered a crab cake Benedict that just wasn't good. It was really salty and the crab cake had no flavor. My date got the braised short rib that was just ok. For the price, I was expecting more flavor. Around us it seemed as if people were having their own issues. One guy at the bar was fuming about waiting for his check. There were multiple people who asked for dinner menus that had to wait for more to be printed. And a couple asking where their food was with the excuse being "they're turning the kitchen over for dinner so it might be a while but I'll go check" One reviewer had said it seemed like the wait staff didn't care whether their guests were happy and I will say I 100% agree with that. When I'm at the bar , I dont want to be treated cooly. Bring in someone who is nice and jovial who makes me want to stay.
The service was incredible. Omar was our server, and he truly made the experience special. He made us feel welcomed, celebrated, and taken care of from start to finish. His customer service was exceptional, and he genuinely went above and beyond. The food was good overall, though a few dishes felt like they needed a bit more flavor. For example, the blue crab could have used a touch more salt or seasoning to really elevate it. That said, the presentation was beautiful, and the portion sizes were great for the price. The ambiance was lovely. The hotel itself has stunning areas and views, making it a perfect place to relax and hang out even after you're done eating.
I had lunch at The Hamilton Kitchen at the Alfond Inn in Winter Park today for a work gathering, and it delivered a solid experience. The space itself is impressive: big table, great energy, and a staff that actually pays attention. Service was smooth and courteous despite the size of our group, which is always a good sign. For my main lineup, I started with the avocado toast, and this was easily one of the standouts. Thick, hearty wheat bread topped with rich avocado, Maldon sea salt, sweet peppers, and corn. Visually sharp, genuinely delicious, and surprisingly balanced. The side Caesar didn't quite match the enthusiasm. Iceberg with bits of romaine, anchovy-forward dressing (a win), but it leaned a bit sad with crumb-style croutons and barely any parmesan. Edible, not memorable. The steak frites brought me back. Fries were terrific--crispy, truffled just right. The steak sat on a bed of arugula with chimichurri that had good character but could've used a little more salt to really wake it up. Still, it was cooked to temp and enjoyable. Dessert was the bread pudding, and that one hit the mark. Warm, comforting, dressed with a cream sauce and a berry compote, with fresh fruit on top. Easily my favorite part of the meal. All in, I'd give The Alfond Inn a 7/10. I'd return, especially for that avocado toast and bread pudding. The only real downside is the parking and traffic near Rollins--it gets congested fast around rush hour, which takes a bit of shine off the experience. But I'll be back.
Magical Dining didn't disappoint. And the $30 bottle of Decoy Cabernet was a nice bonus. The food was prepared perfectly and hot. Service was friendly and the atmosphere can't be beat.
Eater Brunch was at Hamilton's Kitchen this year. It's located in downtown Winter Park on the campus of Rollins College, which is a gorgeous area. We made a reservation well in advance but to our surprise, it wasn't overly busy. For an appetizer, we had the breakfast breads to share. Another individual ordered a separate appetizer, and it arrived well before the breads. Our server forgot and we had to remind him. Once they finally arrived, they were delicious. For entrees, 3 of us had the salmon and enjoyed it. The Halmet was also popular, as well as the Cobb salad with grilled chicken. The food was all plated beautifully. For the price and experience, the service could have been much better overall. But the food was delicious.
Yum. We had a great meal here recently. We started with a Burrata and Fig Salad, Brussel Sprouts and Beet Salad, and Buttery Cornbread. Next came an exceptional Sauteed Faroe Islands Salmon with a great Succotash (with a bit of Okra). The fish was crispy and cooked just right - still moist inside. My friend had what they called an America Peking Duck. They also called it a Duck Breast Confit. I don't understand the choices of names, but my friend thought it was delicious. Then we split a huge bowl of the McCallan 12 Yr Butterscotch Pot De Creme with large chunks of Toffee. So good. Brian was very good at service. We'll be back.
This restaurant is always beautiful on the inside. It has such a warm, inviting atmosphere. The Magical Dining menu is unbeatable in both value and variety. I started with the Caesar salad, which was fresh and well-balanced. For the main course, I had the salmon with corn succotash. It was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Dessert was the butterscotch pudding, rich and satisfying without being too heavy. Service was attentive throughout the meal, making the whole experience even better. I always recommend this place! It is consistently excellent.

4 Stars for a lovely art-filled ambiance that makes you feel like you're on vacation! Oh yeah, and some tasty drinks! This review is just for the experience at the Lounge/bar area of Hamilton's Kitchen. A couple of friends and I decided to grab drinks in the afternoon (hey- it was after noon!) and thought it'd be the perfect spot. First- I have to mention the art. Patrons and hotel guests are treated to some fantastic pieces by world-renowned artists from the Cornell collection. The ambiance of the space is open, bright, and has small vignettes everywhere for a more personal seating experience with friends (each small seating area has unique furniture making it feel truly special). We went straight for the drinks menu and I was excited by what I saw. It looked like really finely-crafted cocktails are their specialty. I went with the Cucumber Mint Gimlet and one of my girlfriends went with the Bloody Mary. The Cucumber Mint Gimlet had muddled mint leaves and cucumber slices at the bottom and a lime garnish. It was a bit sweet for my taste as I think the cucumber, mint, and gin would have gone well with club soda versus the tonic they used (no sugar needed!). It was a tad steep for the size drink ($10), but I felt like I was paying for the ambiance and I was A-OK with that! I got to try my friend's Bloody Mary made with Zing Zang mix which was good and had a great kick. The only note I'd have is to work on the garnish a bit more. It consisted of one olive, a slice of lime, and cucumber. I think it'd be great to have a stick of celery and some other extra garnish - Particularly since it's a drink that uses a mix, attention to the presentation and a special garnish would have taken it over the edge and made it stand out as a unique bloody mary. But I'll add that we were all taking turns taking sips of this savory, spicy drink so the garnish is the only note! Overall, drinks were pleasant and we had a great time. I'd definitely return and recommend it to my fancy friends - teehee! P.S. Paul McCartney brunches here when he's in town. So there's that. ~~FANGIRLING HARD~~ read more
It's a beautiful restaurant inside of a beautiful hotel inside of beautiful Winter Park. The service was great and the food was good. It was a solid, good, experience. We both ordered the soup of the day, which was an Indian inspired soup. I think there were lentils and chicken in it, but I couldn't really tell you. It was delicious though. The best item of the night, actually. The bread service consisted of breadsticks and pimento cheese which were both tasty. I liked the cheese. We also had an appetizer of the smoked fish dip and it was great. The presentation on this was killer! When they opened the lid, smoke came billowing out. Cool concept and even better tasting! My eentré was the rack of lamb with roasted carrots and potatoes over butternut squash. The spice rub on the lamb was delicious, but it was slightly undercooked for my liking. They said the chef cooks it to a medium, but it was more rare than anything. It was good, just not the best lamb I've ever had. The carrots were undercooked but the other vegetables were fine. My dinner partners entrée was the double cut pork chop, and it was just okay, as there wasn't much to the flavoring. The cheese grits were average and the collard greens were okay, but nothing over the top amazing. I'm glad I had a TravelZoo deal to use because it was definitely not worth the full amount it would've been. The location is beautiful, the service was great, the presentation was gorgeous, but the food was just slightly better than average. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to go, I was able to check this place off my list, but I'm not in any hurry to go back. If someone wanted to go, I'd go, but it's not at the top of my list. read more

I sooo wanted to love this place! The charm and elegance of the Alfond Inn which houses Hamilton's and reviews by some fellow Yelpers had my hopes up for a pleasurable dining experience, but alas it was a major disappointment. The meal started out great with the Chef himself presenting us with a pesto risotto amuse bouche that was creamy and rich and cooked perfectly! Then came our salads, appetizer and one of the side dishes which should have arrived with our entrees- we sent it back but had to request it's return midway through main course-ugh-good thing they comped it! My husband had the duck breast special and it was just OK as was my friend's half roast chicken but the Chef or one of his line cooks was heavy handed with the salt shaker because all of our meats were on the briny side. Our fourth diner had the best dish of the evening which was a salmon over beans and greens-still a bit saltier than he'd prefer. On to the worst dish which was the one I selected as it was highly recommended by our server- the braised short ribs with carrots and mashed potatoes. The presentation was great, then as I put my knife into the short rib I knew I was in trouble-it was tough and hard to cut. Each piece was loaded with gristle which I kept gnawing, jawing and spitting out until I finally surrendered. My friend gave some of her salty roast chicken and I ate that along with my taters and carrots. The server apologized and my meal was comped which was all fine and dandy but I left feeling cheated out of what could have been a delightful experience! The food at Hamilton's is farm to table and they did not do the local farms' meat and produce justice. I have read good and bad reviews of this establishment so maybe it was just an off night for the kitchen crew-sad. read more
This is a wonderful and fantastic dining experience where everything they serve is amazing. Located inside the Alfond Inn, this place appears to be pretty casual, but the food is spectacular. The bread with bacon butter was really tasty. I had the Shrimp and Grits ($15) appetizer which consisted of several Gulf shrimp and Bradley's North Florida grits and it was fantastic. My only suggestion would be to add a little more grits to the plate as they were so yummy. The Pan Seared Salmon ($26) was lemon-pepper crusted and perfectly prepared. I was totally blown away by the key lime cheescake as it was really fantastic. Overall, if you are in Winter Park, you must try this place. read more
After checking out the magical dining menus for the various restaurants around Orlando, I made reservations. Between the beets appetizer and the bread pudding dessert, I was sold. I was looking forward to this dinner all week and it did not disappoint. As we walked in the Alfond Inn, we admired some of the artwork and enjoyed the live music (guy playing the saxophone). We were seated right away. The first table was a little uncomfortable due to the sun shining in my husband's face so the hostess instead seated us at a table in the corner which we much more enjoyable. We started off with drinks. I ordered the granderita (basically a margarita made with mezcal). Tasted great and was brought out right away. My husband ordered a glass of red wine. The bread service is not your typical bread and butter. Instead it was crackers and pimento cheese. I preferred this since bread and sometimes be too filling. For appetizers, I ordered the beet compilation which had regular beets and golden beets. The chèvre cheese and walnuts complemented the beets very well. My husband ordered the Rueben fritters. It tasted just like the sandwich but in a nice bite sized form. For the main course, I pressed the salmon which came with black forbidden rice and bok choy. Wow!! The salmon had the prefect little crisp on the top edges and the flavor was on point. It was juicy and cooked perfectly. I ate every bite of my salmon. My husband ordered the pork shank, which came with grits and fried green tomatoes. The pork was huge!! My husband took leftovers home and he's a clean the plate type of guy. It was juicy and delicious. As I mentioned, the bread pudding on the magical dining menu was a reason I came here. When we got the menus, it was not listed. We asked our server and she said she would check. Luckily they did have it so we got that and the scotch pudding. The bread pudding was light, seemed like they used sponge cake or angel cake for the base. The scotch pudding was also soooo yummy. My husband and I did finished both desserts. The service was great. Our server was attentive and we never waited long. The chef came around and spent a few minutes talking to us about our meals. He was so nice and listened to my husband's story about some pork knuckle entree he ate in Germany. Overall we had an awesome experience. I felt like it was also a good deal considering how amazing the food was and the size of the entrees. I've heard amazing things about their brunch and would love to try it out. read more

Thank you sharing your thoughts on your recent visit. We are pleased…
Came to the bar for appetizers and drinks. The BEST mojito I've ever had, hands down. Spencer the bartender was not only very attentive, but excellent at his craft. The appetizers were also delicious. Live music on a Friday night to to top it off. Great venue read more

Anniversary night with the bae we decided to check out this place located within the Historic Alfond Inn. There is street parking but poor direction to where the actual entrance of the restaurant is- answer? From the courtyard (which looks like a lovely place to hold a ceremony of sorts). The hostess greeted us and sat us immediately. The inside was large with a number of tables and decorative bottle-chandelier lighting. While it did not make for a more intimate ambience it wasn't crowded at all so we were not bothered by this. The few other diners whom were present represent a much older crowd (just think of your normal Park Ave demographic). Just as we were opening our menus our server arrived - we shall call him "Jacob" since that was the name printed on our bill ticket and since he never bothered to even introduce himself. His first words were "Hey how ya doin? I have nothing to tell you because there is no chefs special tonight because we just finished magical dining month and the chef is tired ..." And proceeded to ask if we knew what we wanted (though we hadn't hardly peaked at the menu). He also did not bother to offer any other recommendations or more intel regarding the rest of the menu. Fail Jacob, Fail. He was not even remotely attentive to our table; he never checked on us to see how he food was nor did he refill our table water- not once! Ok ok ok venting aside let me get to the food: we started out with the Beef carpaccio appetizer. It was sliced delicately and plated beautifully, but sadly I found it to be boring in flavor; while this dish doesn't require a lot of seasoning the meat didn't carry a strong enough impact on its own, requiring more than the small simple sauce dollops allotted. I would prefer the carpaccio from Santiago's Bodega (at the Winter Park location). At least I can say besides this, everything else (food-wise) was enjoyable. For beverage I had the MBA, which was bourbon forward with a fruity finish. For entrée I selected the crab topped scallops upon potato medallions - while there are only 3 scallops the pack a melody of flavor; it would have been perfect if they had actually scooped 3 equal portions of crab topping; I had "small, medium, and large" scoops (you can see there is a significant variation in the picture). My wife's entrée selection was the Grouper on house made pappardelle - I only had a few bites of this but the fish was lightly fried to crispy excellence with a light & savory sauce. While Jacob was our major downfall of this night, I must add a few extra positive notes - Lauren (whom appeared to be a manager of sorts) stopped by our table & delivered our entrees; She was genuinely nice and very personable; I would have preferred her as our server for the night to make a more memorable evening and probably should have mentioned something to her but for some reason I had hoped Jacob would surprise us and turn things around (he did not). The Chef also made an appearance towards the end of the night that was brief but also appreciated, and more meaningful that any of Jacobs nonexistent check ins. I generally always snag a dessert, but was really over the lack of service so we tapped out of the evening and headed elsewhere for a sweet treat. Also, while I don't expect freebies, we had a reservation in which they ask if there is a special occasion; the hostess confirmed this at check in, but besides that it wasn't ever acknowledged. I could see their brunch doing better but definitely would not recommend the service for a special occasion of any kind otherwise based on this experience. Bottom line? The food was good but didn't wow and Jacob most certainly killed the mood; Lauren and the Chefs visit are really what kept this rating a float. read more
It was all just oooook. Which was of course disappointing. Especially given the cost. All in all the food was just bland. The apple chutney on the Brie was not appetizing. It basically tasted like an unsweetened apple sauce. The risotto had barely any flavor at all. And the chicken was slightly under cooked. The best item of the whole dinner was the mashed potatoes. I'd give them another try for brunch but won't be going back for dinner. The best thing I can say about the dinner was about the presentation of the bland dishes, which was beautiful. read more

While looking at Magical Dining menus, I stumble upon this restaurant. At first, I was a bit nervous to try it since I know it's in the Alfond Inn. Also, I was nervous since some of my friends had complained about other restaurants either running out of Magical Dining dishes or getting hesitant looks for only coming to Magical Dining. I feel like some restaurants treat you a bit differently for it. I'm glad I picked this place. It's a lovely gem. The waitress was very attentive to us more than other Magical Dining experiences I had. She helped us choose the dishes and drinks for Magical Dining. She was very enthusiastic which made my experience great. I ordered the Reuben Fritters, Braised Kurobuta Pork Shanks, and Macallan Scotch Pudding. The Pork shanks were by far the best I had in a long while. The grits was very tasty. The scotch pudding was very yummy. My sister ordered Compilation of Beets which was awesome considering we are not beets fan. She ordered the Lemon Sage chicken gnocchi which were phenomenal as well. I'm glad to see that some of the Magical Dining dishes are in their regular menu. I can confirm that the quality of the food for Magical Dining is great and I already know that we will make a second trip to eat here for Magical Dining. I don't think I have made a second trip like that before. I even suggest my friend to possibly have her birthday dinner here. I'm glad to see a restaurant like this exceed my expectations. The ambiance is very good and gives you the kitchen feel. read more
We came here for my sister bday , this place is amazing and beautiful, and the service was great and quickly. The only problem was that my sister order egg Benedict and the didn't cooked correctly. The mimosa was delicious but they didn't offer bottomless mimosas for brunch, Pretty expensive . Overall great place but won't repeat. read more

We've been here 3 times for brunch and each experience was very enjoyable. The food was delicious and very well priced. You get quality food at a filling portion and you don't even have to hurt your wallet for it! Our favorite is the chicken and waffles. They are the best in town! The brunch burger and avocado toast are also very delicious. The setting is classy and spacious. This place is our new favorite brunch location. We will need to come back to try their dinner menu. read more

Venue is beautiful, the staff was really on top of cleaning and sanitizing. Our tomato soup was amazing, the chef delivered it himself and he even provided us an extra one to take home after we asked for some bread to go with it. He totally didn't have to do that but it was much appreciated. Our service was amazing. Multiple managers came by to check on us. Food was exquisite and even though we didn't have any, the drink selection seemed great. We had a lovely brunch experience. Definitely gotta come back for dinner. read more

This hidden gem is nestled in Winter Park on the campus of Rollins College at the Alfond Inn, but don't let that deter you from visiting because it's not your typical college student hangout. The decor is a mixture of rustic and traditional. We parked on the street about a block away from the hotel just to get a few steps in before we indulge. We arrived 15 prior to our reservation time, which didn't seem to be a problem because we were seated promptly. The hostess seated us with the regular menu and provided the magicial dining menu after we requested it. All of our food came out quickly. We order from both menus just to taste the regular menu favorites and the magical dining selections. We were pleased with of the food with an exception to the bread pudding. We selected this place for the dessert, but was disappointed with it. It was served at room temperature, hard, and dry. I told my husband that it was at least two days old. The server offered to change it out with other dessert options and we gladly accepted. The raspberry torte and creme brûlée were amazing! If you visit the calamari, short ribs, mushroom ravioli are a must! We will definitely return to try their brunch! Enjoy read more

Who says you can't have fancy brunches in the middle of the week! I came here on a Thursday morning with a friend of mine to see what this place was all about. The restaurant is in the back of a beautiful hotel in Winter Park and is a great mix of traditional and some modern touches. Our server took some time to warm up to us, but once she did it was great. I will say one down side is that there are not enough egg dishes. It's breakfast/ brunch friends! Just toss an egg on it and people come alive. I'm typically a savory girl but I played it adventurous and went with the French toast. My friend got a the Savannah Salmon and got two poached eggs on top which was a good call. The eggs weren't quite poached to his liking but he enjoyed it, especially with the salmon which was cooked well. The French toast... honestly I didn't go crazy for it. It was a little on the dry side and underwhelming. The berries on top were just a garnish and the maple syrup came in a little personalized jar. Didn't hate it, didn't love it. I do enjoy the atmosphere and will definitely come back for a second try! Next time around I will make it a dinner event. read more
So I saw this place on Groupon, and looking at the deal, it was incredible. I couldn't pass it up. We got two glasses of wine, an appetizer, two entrees, and a dessert all for like $65. It was an awesome deal. We get here and the place looks amazing. There are several different types of chairs and candles and they're all spread throughout the place. It looks very eclectic and I liked it. The appetizer we chose was the P.E.I. Mussels (Spicy Sausage, Tomato, Garlic, Parmesan-Truffle Broth). This was the bomb. The mussels were perfectly cooked, and the cooking liquid that it was served in was fantastic. The parmesan-truffle broth was beyond delicious, and the spicy sausage pieces throughout were yummy, too. All the flavor from it jumped into the mussels, and wow. It was served with bread so we could dip, and, in fact, if I had a spoon, I might have eaten the whole dang bowl as if it were soup. Not sure that's how you're supposed to do it, though.. Anywho, the entrees we chose were both the Porcini Dusted Filet Mignon (Smoked Mushroom Duxelle, Oven Roasted Roma Tomatoes, Horseradish Aioli, Blistered Asparagus). We didn't want to share a dish that sounded like that, so we both got one. The filet itself was cooked perfectly at a medium rare all the way through, and the sear on it was nice, too. Salt and pepper on point. The chef knew what he was doing with this. I had no idea what mushroom duxelle was when I ordered this, but image a mushroom puree and go check out my picture of it. It was yum. It was like a sauce-ish, but that was pure mushroom. Omg good. There was one tomato on my plate, and it wasn't roasted to the level I would have liked. The aioli was great, too. I avoid horseradish like the plague. It's too harsh, but this aioli was flavored with it, but not too much. It was super buttery and it was slathered on the steak, so it was unavoidable, but I didn't want to avoid it. Yum. And the "blistered" asparagus was not blistered. It was barely roasted. In addition to the menu items, there was a red, super sweet sauce on the plate, too, that was a great addition. Everything mixed together was awesome. Definitely not the best steak I've ever had in my life, but this was hands down the best steak dish I've ever had in my life. The only things that let me down just a little were the side veggies, but that's ok. I still fell in love that night. For dessert, we had the Macallan 12 Yr Butterscotch Pudding (chantilly cream, sea salt chocolate toffee). The toffee piece on top was delish. I love sea salted sweets. The pudding itself was very butterscotch-y. Like a super Worther's Original, but in pudding form. There was also legit vanilla bean inside the pudding that added a great amount of texture. The dessert was good. It was served in a tiny little cute mason jar, too. Good way to end the meal. Overall, this meal was awesome. Well worth the price of the Groupon, so be on the lookout for another one. I would say that it was worth the price outright, but I'm not in that tax bracket as of now. Either way, yes, come here. Delish. read more

A little difficult to find the entrance if you're coming from the street. We had a party of 15 so we made a reservation. The restaurant was pretty empty other than us, so it was weird we had to wait a while for water refills. Other than that it was a nice experience read more

I really enjoyed my experience at Hamilton's Kitchen. I visited during magical dining month for a sit-down catch-up with a friend. From the moment we were seated the staff was very polite and made sure to introduce themselves. Upon hearing that it was our first time there, we were given complimentary champagne. It was a very nice touch that made us feel very special. Our server was very helpful and friendly as we selected our courses and pairings. His service / hover ratio was spot-on. It's been 2 months since we ate there, but I remember clearly that we enjoyed the items we ordered with no complaints. The environment is old-style cozy without the feeling of claustrophobia due to the large windows around the dining area. We dined at around sunset, so there was a period of time when I, facing the windows, was dodging direct sunlight until the sun went down. After dinner my friend and I briefly explored the common areas of the beautifully appointed Alfond Inn. I made a mental note to consider renting this space for corporate or group events in future. read more
I usually dislike hotel restaurants, but this one stands its test. Hamilton's Kitchen has a charming decor and their simple menu is nicely executed. They serve breakfast from 7 - 11. Our waiter Eduardo was very helpful and made our breakfast so pleasant. We ordered the egg dishes, which were served with griddle english mcmuffins and roasted asparagus/tomatoes. Be ready to pay about $15 per person for breakfast. read more

Have been wanting to try this restaurant out and found a living social deal for $69, which included 1 App, 2 wines or beers, 2 entrees and 1 dessert. Value over $115. The food was very good. We split the Colossal shrimp, which were Devine and it had a mashed ahi tuna vibe, but was crushed Lima beans, mushrooms, cucumbers and tomatoes. It was a very unique and a healthy app! We ordered the tomahawk pork, which was 14oz and the scallop risotto, which had 3 scallop and 2 shrimp and a very thick risotto. We ended up getting the Double Chocolate cake to go, which is pictured. Overall really good food. Negative was the service and why the rate is at 4 and why it's probably on Living Social because the service was not well. Our server started off strong, but left us hanging quite a bit. I saw the water guy 20 times, but my server 4. It was a Monday, so they were NOT busy at all. I can't imagine a full night of service. Hopefully they get it together. You are in WP and need to present like the others. read more

Weekend only for brunc. Lunch and breakfast daily.plan on at least $10 for a mimosa. Hamilton’s Kitchen is not worth the money. Try Luma, Proto, or 310 Park.
