    We were greeted with a big smile at the front stand and promptly seated. This vibrant spot featured fresh, well-prepared sushi and an array of American and Italian selections. Every dish we selected was excellent. Though the place was packed and the noise level was predictably high, I had requested a quiet table when reserving and we were seated in a private booth complete with a door and coat hooks - the closest thing to our own dining room. The star of the evening was was our server Brian S. He was cheerful, informative, professional, welcoming, and everything one wants to insure a good experience when dining out. Kudos to The Hamilton - everyone got everything right!

    My boyfriend and I went for our anniversary and we had the best time ever!! The head chef Alexis was funny, made delicious sushi, and put on a show — I even got to get in on the action with torching the wagyu!!! It was so much fun, the vibe, atmosphere, music, people — everything was spectacular! 100/10 would go again for sure.
