I am a student at Virginia Tech and haven't seen my parents in person for about four months. From the pictures, The Hamilton looked like the perfect place to treat them. The ambiance was perfect and the food was very delicious! We left feeling very content with the experience. This is definitely a restaurant I recommend! Thank you!

I took my wife here for her birthday. It was the first time either of us have been and it was Phenomenal. The food was amazing and the drinks were great. Our serve was Briana and she was extremely attentive and knowledgeable about both the menu and drinks. She gave great suggestions and made sure we were taken care of. She definitely helped make the experience better with how accommodating she was with everything. My wife loved it and they even gave us a more secluded table so we could have our own little corner to ourselves. We will definitely be going back!
