Hamilton's seemed like a perfect date spot. My partner and I came here for lunch about a month after it opened. We were seated at a comfortable booth against the wall. The place was empty except for the handful of people spread across the dining room. The interior remains true to its throwback, vintage vibe with lots of earthen colors. I imagined that when the place was packed, it would look similar to something out of the Great Gatsby. Our waitress briefed us on the history of HM and the future plans for the restaurant. The bar seems to be popular.
We ordered sandwiches and the portions were huge. The bread tasted fresh and gave you just the right feeling of crunchy and soft when you bit into it. However, our meat was not evenly cooked and my portion consisted mostly of fat. If trimmed, the actual sandwich size would probably be cut by half. We have not returned to Hamilton's again, not due to its service (which was attentive and friendly) or interior, but its not-so-vintage prices and lackluster menu items.
