We always enjoy going to the Hamilton Inn as it is a lovely landmark with an enjoyable atmosphere and great outdoor seating; the bar is also a notable highlight! However more than once we had at least one meal each time (out of a group of 4 guests dining) that was less than average. Either undercooked, ingredients that were not... More

Probably the nicest restaurant close to Colgate University. Lovely, intimate setting in old inn. Food and service were both excellent.

Except, it's exactly what I expected as this marks the fourth straight year we've eaten here and between the attentive but never intrusive service and the exceptional meals we all had - 6 of us, all having a different dish - the Hamilton Inn always exceeds my very high expectations. And that's pretty remarkable when you think about it. I... More

We were invited to the Hamilton Inn for a small surprise Birthday party for a close friend. What a pleasant surprise! We had never been to the Hamilton Inn before we will go back! We had a small private room off the bar area, it was cozily perfect! The gas fireplace was lit and was not too warm ...just right!... More

all the dishes were excellent, as was the service. The faltiron steak with coffee BBQ and char were standouts. They have a varied wine list with lots of price options too. Servicer provided good recommendations and was knowledgeable about the wines.

This is a favorite for business dinners, quiet, great service and good food. Off the beaten path, it is about 3 miles from the closet town, Hamilton. Yet it has been there for years...this tells you the character of the place, an upstate New York diamond.

Food was very good. Seasonal menu. Dining room was pleasant. We were seated by the fireplace on a cool evening which was very nice. Limited dessert offerings the night that we were there.

This is the place to go for a "nice" meal in Hamilton, NY. The service is warm but not overwrought. The dining room is quiet and elegant. A nice smell of fireplace hangs In the air. The food is seasonal and very fresh. The menu is a bit limited, however. Wish they had a few more vegetarian options but my... More

I really liked their student special night. It made it somewhat more affordable. They have the best crab and lobster bisque anywhere (and this from someone who worked in a seafood restaurant in Maryland for many years)
