My daughter graduated from Colgate in 2009, but when we are in the area, we try to stop in Hamilton for a stroll on the gorgeous campus and a meal at the Colgate Inn. It never disappoints. We hadn't been back since the renovation, but the Inn is now better than ever. We were on a tight schedule and the... More

Had a wonderful Easter Brunch! Food was very delicious and plentiful. Service was impeccable. Could not have been better! Will definitely eat there for meals now when I am at Colgate.

The title says it all in a nutshell. Hamilton is a bend in the road with a big college. If it weren't for Colgate University the village would be a lot smaller. BUT, since the university owns and operates the Colgate Inn and puts most of it's guests there the "tavern" had better be good. It was. Fine selections, well... More

We had lunch at the Colgate Inn after visiting Colgate University. The staff was friendly and the service was good. My lobster roll sandwich was delicious and I know everyone else at the table enjoyed their meals. I would definitely go again if we are in the area. The building is lovely and the town is so pretty.

We visited for a paired beer dinner and wow, what a meal. The four course dinner was spectacular and the chefs did an outstanding job of pairing the foods with the beers. I would definitely go back again and again for their specialty dinners.

We stayed at the Colgate Inn while visiting the university. We were truly amazed at the quality of the dinner and breakfast at the Inn. The ingredients were spectacularly fresh, the dishes well-prepared. I had the chicken pot pie cooked in a cast-iron skillet. It was the kind of simple, perfectly prepared comfort food to die for. My husband had... More

I've eaten (and enjoyed) the Colgate Inn several times. I attended a beer pairing dinner and the food was incredible! We loved the seared rack of lamb and the pureed leeks that accompanied it were amazing!

I negatively reviewed this restaurant a few months ago and I immediately was contacted by the manager. He offered to have me back and wanted a second chance. He explained to me that there was a bunch of changes made and it was a new look and feel than I had previously experienced. I went back on a busy Sunday... More

Can''t imagine that there is anyplace better to eat in town or nearby. Lovely setting with generous portions of delicious comfort food. We particularly liked the menu which is perfect for a college town. The offerings had everything from buffalo wings to lobster which were all priced right. Had an enjoyable evening.

The restored Inn is a nice centerpiece to the revitalized center of Hamilton NY. It has been many years since we visited, and the entire area looks quite a bit better than we remembered. Moving the Colgate bookstore "downtown" was a big help. The Hamilton Farmers Market was very busy in the village green on the last weekend in October... More
