“ Went to Hamiltons for the first time today. Lovely place to eat. I had tapas with my partner, he ordered squid, I ordered the pork in sauce and we shared the potato dish that had pulled pork and Leicester cheese melted over it. All dishes were cooked perfectly. Can't wait to go back, lovely, friendly staff. ”
“ Great place, booking is recommended for the restaurant and is really good and tasty food, very well presented. Staff were all attentive and friendly. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant but lighting could be slightly more intimate if I was going to have any drawback, hence my 4 star . Would definitely return. ”
“ Lovely food. Lovely staff especially Joe who was our waiter. Not a huge menu but that usually means the food is better. We had the crab starter followed by a whole plaice (Catch of the day) and sea bream. Both delicious. A chilled bottle of French rose was a suitable accompaniment. ”
“ My wife and I popped in for our first visit for lunch today and straight away the service was great. The staff were really welcoming and tendered to our need; kept us updated with where our food and drinks were. The food was amazing, we have the mussels and fries and a beer. Will definitely be going there again. ”
“ Served in the Bar for a second time on Saturday 28th September and served by the two same men. They were amazing and went above and beyond to make the experience for us as enjoyable as possible. They gave us a lovely table despite an event being on and even set up the specials board accordingly. Service was friendly, quick and fantastic. Food was good too, as were the drinks and the ambience overall. Can't recommend highly enough. ”
“ What a fantastic experience from start to finish!!! My father was visiting on holiday to celebrate his 60th, so I called up the week before, booked him a table and bought a voucher over the phone to pay for the meal. The vouchers arrived on my door step the very next day, in a beautifully presented card, envelope and voucher itself. The place was stunning, with equally stunning views. When my father and his partner arrived they were greeted with a glass of prosecco each on a table with wonderful views. Every dish was well represented and every inch as delicious as the last. The whole team was fantastic and really went above and beyond to make this evening special, including delivering a happy birthday dessert treat! Will be recommending far and wide and will most definitely visit again. ”
“ Had an amazing meal at this lovely restaurant. The waiter was very attentive and service was excellent. The standard of food is Michelin star level and at a reasonable price. It was a quiet evening with only a few parties dinning and unfortunately the atmosphere was ok but I would imagine on a busy evening the place would be amazing. Definitely will be returning. ”
“ Wonderful evening!! The food and service was outstanding, and our waiter was amazing. Hamiltons exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend this little gem. We’ll definitely be back! ”
