    We had a birthday party with 7 high school girl friends (all seniors). Everything was delightful. We all commented on how good the service was, as was the food. The chef, Zach, stopped by the table a couple times and was so personable. Cara, the hostess, was wonderful in helping arrange our party. It was so a nice evening.

    We have had several excellent meals at Hamilton Walker’s during our son’s time at the University of Illinois and so chose the restaurant to celebrate his graduation. As usual the food was excellent, the service attentive, the drinks well crafted, the atmosphere was comfortable, and well-appointed. It was easy to talk and enjoy the entire family. Highly recommend!

    My son who was the guest of honor his $70 filet was overcooked. It took the staff 20+ minutes and by that time everyone else was finished. The manager came over to apologize but did not comp anything. It was not the only meal that was not great. Really disappointed!!!
