   Food was great and the service was excellent. It is a real shame that the restaurant is closing for good in two weeks........

   So sad to see this Allentown icon closing at the end of November. The space is as nice as you'll find and the food was wonderful. The barbequed pork chop with tempura-dipped sweet potato fries was awesome on our last visit. Waitress was knowledgeable and chatty. Great experience!

   We were never greeted by any staff. We stood there for a solid 5 minutes and not one person acknowledged us so we left. We were from out of town and picked this place. We will never go back.

   We both started with salads which were incredible. I had the beet salad and my hubby had the shaved Brussels sprout salad. The. We had the curry chicken and scallops. These salads and entrees sounded really good and interesting on the menu, and typically places underwhelm with the final product, well the Hamilton did NOT. Everything was outstanding. We would recommend to friends and family and definitely will be back. Excellent restaurant choice!!!!

   Really nice place - very cool atmosphere. Really difficult to park but in fairness I don't know the area and it was raining and difficult to navigate the one-way streets. The kitchen messed up our burgers - My THK burger was supposed to be medium and was well done. My sister's BYO burger was medium and was supposed to be well done. They were able to correct my sisters. If you're in downtown Allentown or know that area this place is worth checking out.

    Onion rings were great. My salmon was in a pool of oil or butter. The brownie trifle had no flavor and the ice cream was too hard to eat.

    Food and service were excellent but the noise level was prohibitive. We had a hard time hearing the background music as well as each other (married couple of 30+ years) while eating. We only heard the music, which actually was great, when using the restroom. The inside area was not that crowded so we can only imagine what the noise level would be like when most of the tables are filled. Would love to recommend this place to others but not until this noise level problem can be resolved. I am just so glad it wasn’t a first date situation. To leave on a positive note - the outside seating looked delightful. Maybe next time we would choose that option.

    As usual, our experience was outstanding. Even though I was on a special diet, chef, with guidance of our server, Eduardo, cooked up a delicious and nutritious meal on the fly. It was accompanied with a beautiful bowl of fresh fruit. Every piece was sweet and wonderful to the taste. So incredible. My friend had a beautiful burger cooked perfectly to her request and fries that were golden perfect.

    Had dinner here before a show at the PPL Center. Probably one of the best burgers I’ve had locally. Great service, great food, great vibe, however very noisy when the restaurant is full so something to keep in mind if you’re looking to have a conversation. Would definitely recommend it, though!

    We were celebrating our moms 85th birthday with dinner and the Michael Buble’ concert at the PPL Center across from The Hamilton… perfect location we thought but it turned out to be extremely disappointing. First off, on entering the restaurant the noise level was deafening. My mom wears hearing aids so the noise level to her was amped up even more… she ended up taking them out as the noise was unbearable… the rest of our group could barely carry on a conversation. We all ordered drinks except mom. They did arrive pretty promptly and everyone was satisfied except for my THK Old Fashion… the worst I’ve ever had and I’ve been drinking them for years. Next up, salad… which were fine, Caesar was delicious. For the main course 3 ordered the petite filet and 1 salmon. We waited an extremely long period of time between salad and entree. The waitress seemed to avoid our table so as not to be questioned on the delay. After about 45 minutes of waiting the food finally came out… no apology for the wait. The filet was a huge disappointment… The presentation was horrible… everything was put on one side of the plate as if done on an incline, not at all attractive. The steak was disappointing as well; Tough and dry isn’t how a steak should be. The salmon was acceptable but not exceptional. Because of the delay we had no time for dessert as we needed to get to the concert. All and all my moms birthday dinner was very disappointing and returning to The Hamilton Kitchen will be a no go.

    The food was creative and a fun spin on some traditional items. Onion rings were massive with great season, the sour cream & chive smashed tots tasted great, and the bacon Brussels were well…they had bacon so they were wonderful! The filet was cooked perfectly and tender. All in all the food was something definitely worth trying. As for the service, our waitress (and I wish I remembered her name as I’d give her a shout out) was politely, up beat, and very friendly. Everything you’d want in a server and what the hospitality industry needs more of! Well done and I’d highly recommend a visit to Hamilton’s as I know ill stop by again next time I’m in town!

    Very good addition to downtown Allentown. My wife and I will go back! Food was very good with limited menu. Seems like they want fewer choices but do them all very well. Only drawback was the size. The place is cavernous! Waitress was great! Enjoy!

    Menu is not for picky eaters. Server was very friendly and nice but not very knowledgeable or experienced. Menu said 2oz pours, made order was asked single or double we said regular thinking a regular was 2oz as stated on menu, and we got 1oz. He just seemed very unsure and we had to wait awhile for water refill and also had to wait for drinks since he got our drinks and a table of 4's drinks and then told us he got them all at the same time as if that justified why we had to wait. $3.00 for a diet soda is outrageous.

    We were looking for a brunch spot when driving through town, and I impulse picked The Hamilton (a few menu items looked interesting). We sat in their beautiful outdoor space, where a live band played during our meal. The staff was friendly, and the food was delicious! We had a baby with us, and they had no problem accommodating.

    Greeted and seated immediately, very friendly and attentive staff with great teamwork. Server was able to help me customize a cocktail to my liking and it was perfect. Appetizers and entrees were so good we didn’t have room for dessert which was sad because they all sounded amazing. Will definitely be back, hopefully on a night when it’s not 90 degrees and we can enjoying their outdoor dining.

    Excellent food & service. Very upscale restaurant, however where we were seated and able to look in to non dining areas peeling paint was observed in one side room area and in another side room area stacks of plastic rack observed which should have been secured in another area and with walls repainted in the other side room.
