It was recommended to me for the people watching. That was pretty good but i saw mainly tourists. I will say the food I had was good, salmon salad and truffle rosemary fries. I really liked the salmon because it was cooked with the skin on, super crispy like salmon skin roll! yum! The fries were really crispy and delicious!

Always great service!! Kenzie is the best!!! We have never had a bad meal at the Hamilton. Sushi is our favorite. It’s a little loud in there and hard to have conversations but the food is worth it!

Food was delicious. Wonderful atmosphere. The meal took awhile due to a large party and we were notified of the delay by the waiter and manager. We were even given a discount although we were ok with the delay. Service was wonderful!

Good food but awful service. For the prices demanded, we should demand better service. Overall, the menu is fantastic, and our table ordered a wide variety with everything coming out well. Kudos to the chef. Unfortunately, our waitress had zero interest in serving.
