“I was hesitating between three and four stars, but the outdoor seating sweetened the deal for me!”
“We also went with the French Onion Dumplings, which I am not even sure there were dumplings in there, but this thing was fantastic!”
“Tip – one of the best deals this place offers are their $1 oysters and half-off DELICIOUS cocktails on Wednesday nights.”

I've made a few trips to The Hamilton Inn and I always leave happy. The service, the food, and the drinks had me coming back for more.
I'm not one to order salads when I go out to eat but The Hamilton Inn's Roasted sweet potato salad is SO GOOD! Priced at $18 (w/ hanger steak) this salad has to be one of my favorites.
Sandwich: I had the French Dip ($18) sliced filet mignon, creamy horseradish,
ciabatta, au jus, and fries. Believe it or not, I would choose the salad over this order. It got real messy and the bread fell apart within seconds.
Drinks ($11-$12): Ruby red mule, Berry Pimms Cup. Both delicious.
The servers are always nice and attentive. Next thing to try is their brunch menu!
Adorable little gem in Jersey City!!! Absolutely must check out, food and drink are great and it's perfect for happy hour! I had the ruby red mule and the wings while I was there and they were absolutely perfect and the staff was great and extremely helpful as well. I'll definitely be going back.
Their food and drinks are usually solid conteners. But their STAND OUT are their Wednesday $1 oysters and happy hour drinks. I could drink Rose and eat oysters here every Wednesday.
Their outdoor seating area is pleasant for nice days and the interior is tastefully done as if you are eating in you fancy uncle's home.
Loves it. Will be back!!!
I did come back! But only on Wednesday's for the $1 oysters from 4pm-11pm! How great is that!! Most places have $1 oysters until 7 or 8 but this place is until 11. I thoroughly enjoy coming here on Wednesdays for half off cocktails and $1 oyster while catching up with friends.
Came here for Hudson Restaurant Week and it wasn't bad. It was $38 for 3 courses (same as NYC Restaurant Week used to be…it's now $42 for dinner).
To start, I had the spicy tuna tartare (avocado, jalapeno, ginger, sesame soy, wonton crisps). Maybe it was my fault for ordering raw fish here but I hated it. They over-marinated it with soy sauce which either means that the fish isn't fresh, or they don't know what they're doing. The crispy wonton wrapper was a nice touch though. It was almost like an Asian flat bread but the tuna was executed very, very wrong.
For my entree, I had the lobster risotto which I really enjoyed (so that's the reason behind the three stars – I hate one course but loved the other). It has corn in it, which was fresh and not canned because a lot of the kernels were still stuck together.
For dessert, I had the flourless chocolate cake. I wasn't a huge fan but the only other choice was a banana cream pie and I'm not too fond on bananas.
One thing that I didn't like was that the whole table has to do RW. It was only two of us but I wasn't really that hungry that night. But I knew my boyfriend really wanted to try it so I ended up eating more than I would wanted have (the things one does for love!) I don't think I would do aonther HRW here but it won't stop me from coming for happy hour or their dollar oysters (doesn't hurt that it's right across from my BF's apartment).
The cocktails were awesome! I ordered a peach Bellini, for just $5, and it was a smooth way to start brunch.
Although the the truffle egg pizza is an appetizer I ordered it as my entree. Breaking open the sunny side egg over the cheesy pizza was fun! I only wish it had more prosciutto, because this was honestly the most flavorful aspect. Otherwise it needed salt and pepper.
The home fries were great, I say get those on the side for sure.
Definitely a fun hip atmosphere. The place is pretty small so be sure to make a reservation!
Every time I've spent the weekend in Jersey City with bae, we'd have dinner from Hamilton Inn delivered to his father's house. Their roasted sweet potato salad is always a winner, as are the potato and goat cheese pierogies! The most recent time I came around, he suggested we come in for Sunday brunch. We got seated right away at one of their outdoor tables after arriving around 1pm. You definitely catch a hipster vibe from the atmosphere and staff, but in a classy and tasteful way.
GET THE BACON BLOODY MARY. Don't ask questions, just order one. You will thank me! They offer a fine red sangria, as well, if you're a wimp and spicy cocktails aren't your thing. We split the huevos rancheros (which was easily some of the best I've had) and chilaquiles – which comes with this perfectly seasoned chorizo alongside two fried eggs, torilla, pico de gallo, and queso fresco. It's no surprise why everyone in his family is a regular here, I'm looking forward to becoming one too.
Went here for brunch and will definitely be returning. I ordered the chilaquiles and am so glad I did. So much flavor and the chorizo was delicious. My cousins ordered the avocado toast and brioche French toast and were just as pleased with their dishes. The portions are the perfect size too. Loved the outdoor seating and the service was great!
