Hamiltons' At First Main

We were visiting from Alexandria and so glad we chose to eat here. The fried oysters were delicious! I don?t care for celery but the fact that they were pickled made them very tasty. I had the beef tenderloin which was perfectly cooked and tender. My friend had the special which was grilled rib eye and was delicious! Definitely a fine dining experience and would highly recommend.

Excellent dinner and drinks on the mall in Charlottesville! Drink wise, the Dark Horse and the Gin based Old Fashioned were spot on. I questioned the waiter on the Gin old-fashioned, and he described it spot on. Highly recommend. Food-wise, starters were scallops, haloumi and ham Biscuits. All were sooo tasty. Split 2 mains betwixt us. Fish of the day was Swordfish and it was perfection. The grilled Tenderloin called to us through the blue cheese potato

We had a delightful dinner here while visiting. We sat outside which, in my opinion, had a better vibe than inside. Inside was fine but the outside really shines with its location on the pedestrian walkway! We had a great server. The food was definitely the highlight though. The halloumi was perfect, as was the soup of the day. My husband had the beef tenderloin which he proclaimed was the best steak he 's had out, and he doesn 't say that lightly. I had ghe shrimp and grits

We had a great dinner at Hamilton?s and would do it again anytime! Wine was a fabulous Bordeaux, the scallops and the steak were cooked to perfection and Geraldine our waitress did a magnificent job.

Just went in for drinks. Awesome staff. Great service.
