- EEllenBaltimore / Maryland •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoAlways happy to be at Hamilton's. Love the food, drinks and service. Recent visit included a reunion with some dear friends I hadn't seen in over a year- we go back more than 50 years. So of course we stayed a long time- 2 hours. Our reservation was for 7 pm. Despite not leaving til 9 pm, the staff never gave any indication we were overstaying. Gracious hosts til the end. I so appreciated it. Who knows when we will see each other again.More infoHamiltons' At First & MainPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Charlottesville•4.7
- SSanjayVIPToronto / Ontario •35 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe go to this place once every year at Christmas time to celebrate a birthday. I believe this is the 3rd or 4th year of us going back. It is a great spot — really good food and ambience. The service was incredible — we were assisted by Jack and his service, attention to detail, demeanour, positive vibes, etc etc was unbelievably good. It was such a pleasure all evening. When he realized we were celebrating a birthday he offered a Molton chocolate cake dessert on the house even though we had paid the bill, we asked for a cocktail recipe and he hand wrote it for us. It was little gestures like this that make it memorable. It made a really good dinner to be great and for that we are very appreciative.More infoTenPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Charlottesville•4.9

- AAmyVirginia •1 review5.0Dined on 19 Dec 2024Server was great- very attentive, polite and friendly. The wait for food was a little long, and the noise level was a little too loud. But the food was great- pizza and salads were delicious!More infomatchbox CharlottesvillePrice: Moderate• American• Charlottesville•4.4
- CClodaghWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined on 19 May 2024It was simply amazing. We celebrated our son’s graduation and everything could not have been better — delicious mimosas, scrumptious chips and guacamole, and main dishes that were probably the most delicious Mexican cuisine we have eaten anywhere. Our grad got a complementary tequila shot that was icing on the cake. Thank you! 🫶🏼More infoThe BebederoPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Charlottesville•4.5
