Hamiltons - Edinburgh

Visited on a Tuesday night. In eating area only 3 tables were occupied. Bar area busier. Service was quick. Our server was very helpful and knowledgeable on food and drinks. Had battered fish and chips. Portion was a good size. Tasty but slightly greasy. Enjoyed wine and then cocktails. Would certainly go back.

The worst food I have had in Edinburgh, period. For £30 per head there are a plethora of other excellent, easy eats in Stockbridge and I highly recommend that you look elsewhere. The menu is extremely limited, which is fine if you can deliver, but thoroughly uninspiring when your options are fish and chips that was as soggy as the sea that inspired it, or a pasta dish was surely reheated from the microwave having been made a couple of days prior. The burger, which was my choice, was three times the price of a Mcdonalds equivalent and three times as bad: I may as well have been eating the cows’ hide, not it’s meat. We came here over a year ago and weren’t overly impressed, but we’re hoping that it had improved. Incorrect. The spider sense should have started tingling when we came in to an entirely empty establishment, less a few people at the bar. We were with company and therefore didn’t want to make a fuss, so we just paid and left. Don’t go here: take your money elsewhere. Hopefully new management will take over.

Delicious food nicely presented. The waiters were friendly and helpful. The only thing that I would have changed was the harsh lighting the ambience would have been more relaxing if it was a bit dimmer for an evening meal. Hamiltons was great value I would highly recommend and will be back but probably during the day.

Poor service, food cold, portions small, no alcohol free beer, poor value overall. We won’t be back ever.

The food was very disappointing. expensive for what it was. nothing under £10 for lunch and no soup, and only one salad that wasn't vegetarian
