We met family here for dinner tonight and had a wonderful meal, with great service. Some of the details feel a bit "family restaurant" rather than fine dining, but, you know, that's okay. The food was very well-prepared and flavorful. And I have to give major thanks to our server (whose name I didn't get) for recommending the lamb, which four out of six of us had. Potato-leek soup was tasty without going overboard on the cream base. The non-lambers among us had seafood stew and the tilapia, and both raved about them as well. My guess is that this is an under-visited establishment that delivers some very good food -- provided by a team that was always friendly, often present, and eager to offer suggestions. Well done.
Review Source:I'm glad I live/work near the Hamilton. It's such a great place for lunch. The owner will stop and chat with you and even tell her cake recipes. It's got a great classy vibe and I'm sure it's terrific for dinner if lunch is any indication.
Steak and mushroom sandwich - sliced steak isn't made here but it's good.
Got the orange mandarin salad. Walnuts cranberry vinaigrette cranberries mixed greens feta. Chicken was fresh and well seasoned
Always try the hummingbird cake if it's available.
I liked the Hamilton Restaurant for being locally owned, for being small and intimate enough for a date or just good conversation, and for being easy to get a reservation for on a Saturday night. I also liked it for the food, for the most part. Our table shared a baked brie appetizer, which was probably the least impressive part of the meal (the brie itself was good but the bread was just so-so), but it got better from there. My nut-crusted tilapia was tasty and crispy, and the vegetables that came with the meal were fresh and well-seasoned. For dessert we split a slice of strawberry cake that I thought was heavenly--moist, creamy, frosted. You never see strawberry cake anywhere anymore. Oh, and almost all the wines by the glass were only five bucks, so, bonus! We would go back, I think, especially if we were already in Noblesville.
Review Source:So I am always conflicted on how to address the sorts of things that I personally prefer a restaurant to do, like get local meats or vegetables as much as possible, have not just good but interesting beers available, etc. Â So maybe I would give them a 4.5, but that is because I am picky. Â
The food at The Hamilton Restaurant is fantastic. Â It really is well prepared, particularly the desserts which rocked my socks off. Â I had the Tres Leche cake which was a revelation in banana baking. Â My pal had what was called a Hummingbird cake, a sort of carrot cake but with pineapple, which was super effin good. Â
The potato cake was a buttery and heavenly affair. Â It melted in my mouth with just a kiss of carmelization that formed barely enough crust to hold it together. Â The pumpkin soup was like a puree of pumpkin pie but balanced with spices that reminded me strongly of some sort of curry. Â
The restaurant itself is half a block off the square in Noblesville. Â It is well decorated with purchasable art on the wall, presumably from local artists, though I didn't inquire. Â Soft jazz renditions of The Beatles were on the sound system, and it wasn't too loud. Â
Oh, and the lunch prices were under 8 bucks. Â For things such as crab cake salad, salmon fillet, and several other good sounding options. Â The waiter was quirky and attentive (what else could you want in service?) and one of the owners conversed with us at length about the food preparation and the business (we asked, it wasn't a complaining festival, either). Â
Go there. Â Good deals, great food, and locally owned.
