Are you a boozy, depression era gangster who craves art deco? If so, Hamilton Walker's might be the perfect restaurant for you. For everyone else, it might be worth a wait to see if the place can sort itself out.
Firstly, the decor is amazing. You really do feel like you have taken a step back into the 1930s with the extensive art deco trimmings and impeccably maintained dining room.
However, food quality is quite inconsistent. For example, I ordered a prime rib sandwich with au jus. Although the prime rib came out tender and well seasoned, I did ask for it to be medium. It was closer to medium well, with large parts of the slice grey from overcooking. Fortunately it was prime rib so the result wasn't an inedible mess.
The horseradish sauce it was served with was also underwhelming, tasting more like mayo than the astringent nasally bite of horseradish. Their steak fries however are delicious and a high point of the meal.
Hamilton Walker's is a relatively new restaurant with plenty of promise as well as room to grow.
