Reviews for Hamilton's on Main in Newark, DE

We came here for lunch during the busy. No need for a reservation during this time, not crowded at all. We sat outside since the... weather was nice. The service was good. The food was well plated and tasted good as well. Definitely, a more upscale lunch but agood place to avoid student traffic on Main Street. Read more

I came here for brunch and I love the location. Cute little spot. We sat outside and enjoyed the nice day on the patio. The... drinks were good, not really a kick to it but that’s fine for brunch.\nThe meal I had was different but good. not quite mystyle for French toast but I did enjoy it and could see what the appeal of this place is. The breakfast potatoes were delish. The owners are super friendly and I enjoyed myself. Read more

Excellent!!!!!! We had such a tremendous time with great food and service!\n\nThe staff are super friendly and helpful. The... atmosphere for brunch was absolutely lovely and I would highly recommend.\n\nThe drink were well made and taste like truecocktails prepared by a mixologist.\n\nThe food was exquisite as well. We told our waitress to give our compliments to the chefand he come out to great us, giving us his thought process on preparing his take on these wonderful dishes.\n\nMy wife and Ihave been all around the world to many different restaurants. I\'m from New Orleans and this food we on par with the places backhome. I really feel like you will have a good overall experience if you go. We look forward to returning very soon! Read more

I came for tacos and was in a rush even though this is a more formal spot for dining. The sweet lady at the bar was a tremendous... help and also great to talk to. I nearly came back for dinner but couldn\'t make it. Delicious tacos and a wonderful ambienceinside. Read more

The food was outstanding and the interior decorating was amazing. I visited the location when it was Catherine Rooney’s and... Finn McCool’s and I was amazed by the transformation.\n\nWe went on a Saturday night We were seated immediately but theservice was slow. Our servicer was very attentive but it took a while to get our drinks from the bar and our food from thekitchen. It would have been nice it we had been given some bread or rolls.\n\nI was also surprised they charged for water. Itseemed really petty, and I found it distasteful.\n\nAs I mentioned before, once we got our food, it was outstanding. Thepresentation and flavors were amazing. Our only complaint was my daughter found it hard to cut her Pork Wellington. When I triedit, the pastry was perfect, but I also had difficulty slicing it with the table knife and tore it like my daughter did. Howeverwhen I tasted it, the flavor was amazing and the mouth feel was fine. I think they just need to provide a better knife with thedish. Read more

My experience was very good when we visited.\n\nThe service was fast and courteous, my mushroom bisque and my shrimp and grits... were excellent (the soup needed some seasoning though) and our burger was med rare and juicy. Our cheesecake dessert was verytasty while our cocktails and wine were very good as well. You can surely taste the quality of their ingredients and we reallyappreciated the homemade ketchup that our burger had. You can taste the difference in quality.\n\nOne thing I didn\'t like wasthe ricotta gnocchi dish. I have had them at Vetri\'s Fiorella, at Trattoria Carina and at Zeppoli in NJ. In all these placesthe ricotta gnocchi is a pillowy alternative to the denser potato gnocchis. At Hamilton\'s these were dense, with an unpleasanttexture, not sure why. I also don\'t think that the maitake mushroom in this dish complimented the gnocchi well while the brownbutter sauce was way to acidic. I didn\'t get any of the nuttiness from the brown butter. That dish was a miss.\n\nI wouldsurely go again to explore more, to stay at the front porch and enjoy my food and my wine there. Read more

The service really good, our server was super friendly, it was an overall great experience. Read more
