We had an unexpectedly enjoyable lunch at Hamilton's. The food and service were good, tho there were few other diners, so there was little ambience.

I like Hamiltons and have visited there many times over the years. I went earlier this week. Surprisingly quiet for festival time. Service was great from a lovely lady who was very helpful. The food was average. I had the steak sandwich which was OK. But the food took ages to be served. Really slow. Disappointing.

Pretty poor experience. After being shown to our table and ordering our first drink, we had to go looking for staff to order wine. We ordered a burger and some salads. The brioche bun was stale, the burger dry. The chicken salad was lovely. The black pudding and walnut salad; the black pudding was dry and tasteless. This place has really gone downhill.

The staff are friendly and very helpful in the restaurant. Our we bought the soup and mussels for our starters. Unfortunately the Mussels didn't taste fresh so didn't eat them. The staff said sorry but still charged. However the main course (fish/sea bass) tasted great, fresh and good value for money. It's a nice place, music in the background and lively. I would try again.
