My husband and I had a lovely time at dinner the other night. The live music on the patio was really entertaining and set the mood for a beautiful evening with friends. Outside seating is comfortable and they even had little fire pits going around the patio. The service was excellent! Everyone was so friendly and attentive to our needs, from the hostess to our waiter. The food was top-notch-excellent! I had clams for dinner they were so fresh! I am often hesitant to order fish off the menu, but I have never been disappointed at Hamilton Inn with anything on the menu. My specialty cocktail was also amazing! It originally had rum in it, and as soon as I suggested something else instead, the waiter recommended tequila and my girlfriend and I loved it! This is the perfect place to enjoy an evening, whether celebrating good friends or a special event. I would love to come back and spend the night in one of their very pretty overnight rooms, as well. I heard the complementary breakfast is so amazing!

My family and I stayed there and had a wonderful time! The hotel is very cozy and was decorated so festive for Christmas. The food at the Inn was delicious, especially the beet salad! The service was amazing, very responsive and helpful! It’s walkable to everything in town. We will be coming back for sure! Thank you for a wonderful stay. The puzzle table in the lobby is a nice addition, something fun to while waiting in lobby.

I dined at the Hamilton Inn with a group of 11 coworkers last night and it was most enjoyable! Our servers, Heather and Riley, were very attentive to our group and knowledgeable about menu items. They suggested drinks that were spectacular and dinner was delicious as well. We sat in a private side room that was the perfect size for our group. Can not wait to go back to try something new from the menu and enjoy the outdoor space!

Through the year's we've dined here repeatedly. We've always had delicious food, amazing cocktails and the service is phenomenal. The last 2 night's we've ordered carry-out and they did not disappoint. We ordered the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer both night's and they were honestly the most incredible dish we've ever had & we pray they stay on the menu.

First time there for us. Absolutely gorgeous. Warm cozy atmosphere sitting near the real-wood fire. Staff was 100% - no, make that 120% and the food was delicious. I think we found our new "go to" place. Well done Hamilton Inn.
