Eat here for lunch on a days visit to the area. Sat at an outside table overlooking the boats that were in for Antigua Sailing week. The starter of tempura prawns were juicy and succulent - some of the best we had eaten anywhere. For mains we had the lobster - which was really half a lobster (though not described... More

While staying at Nonsuch Bay, we needed a break from the drawn out dinners at the hotel restaurant, and needed a change of scenery and food. We fond Hamilton's while exploring Nelson's Dockyard and made a reservation to come back the next night for dinner. While Antigua can be a hard to navigate, especially at night, the trip was completely... More

We had a lovely dinner on the terrace overlooking the boats. The only flaw was the live music. Usually I love live music but this was very near our table, quite loud, and not very good! We still had a great evening and enjoyed our meala nd the efficient service

We had dinner here, We ordered calamari as a starter which came with an interesting sauce, then fresh fish including yellow fin tuna. Perfectly cooked & there was a generous vegetable accompaniment including okra & gratin dauphinois. We were served by a very pleasant young lady who had the perfect manner throughout. The other lady serving had a sour face... More

On the Eastern side of Falmouth Harbour. In Nelson's Dockyard. You can sit eating lobster and chips, washed down with Cloudy Bay, and watch the yachts, the people and relax. Great food. Not cheap. But makes for a lovely summer evening. Will be very busy in Antigua's Sailing Week.

We came to Nelson's for dinner, and after a few cocktails at the Admiral's Inn, we wandered over to Hamilton's where we had a drink in the bar waiting for our table. The inside portion (Bar, sitting area, restrooms) are very quaint and artsy. Dining is outdoors overlooking the harbor. Our dinner was excellent, the service was friendly and attentive.... More

My wife and I dropped in for lunch whilst visiting Nelsons dockyard as I had read some good reviews on here. We were not dissapointed. I don't know which restaurant some of the negative reviewers visited,but it bears no resemblance with the one we went to. We had made no reservation, but were shown to a lovely table outside overlooking... More

I went to this restaurant with the highest expectations. Because of this, it probably made my experience that much more unbearable than if I went without out any expectations at all. I live for writing and speaking a highly of restaurants that deserve it but this place did not make the cut. First of all we asked for a seat... More

I am absolutely speechless by this review & can only ask why you never mentioned any of the points you made to either myself or a member of my team on the evening in question. I see that you have written scathing reviews of other very good restaurants in the area so I presume that you are just looking for... More

Hamilton's in Nelson Dockyard in the English Harbour in Antigua is located in one of the old houses of this old English heritage. The food was fantastic and the service outstanding. The Angus beef was tasty and exactly what a good beef should taste like. Many compliments for the side dishes, especially the Pommes Dauphinois and the fresh cooked spinach... More
