Hamilton's is owned by the same people that own Vin de Set and Eleven Eleven Mississippi. They all use the same greenhouse (in the parking lot of Hamilton's), suppliers, etc.
This was totally a last minute dinner change.
We had reservations for somewhere else but they didn't open until 5:30. That is just not enough time if we want to have a nice leisurely, multi-course dinner before the Fox. So, I quickly looked for places that opened earlier. Hamilton's is open all afternoon/evening.
It is small and the tables for 2 (as happens in many places) are too close together (you can totally hear what the conversation is at the tables next to you...and they can hear yours).
They had a very small wine list and I couldn't actually find it online. So, my research was done in the restaurant. I hate doing that, because it looks like I can't sit and have a decent conversation without being on my phone a whole bunch. Needless to say, I didn't pick a great wine. We had a Cabernet from Chile called Maquis. It was OK. It didn't have much to it. I wouldn't pick it again.
We ordered their charcuterie board. It was OK. It had some good cheeses (soft and hard) some house made pickles (kind of bread and butterish), some dried figs, some rye toast points, a peach compote, a house made chorizo sausage, and a house made salzita sausage. The sausages were SUPER boring. Both of those kinds of sausage should have big tastes, but neither did. The one interesting thing on the board was a candle made out of bacon fat. You can spread it like butter. Mike did. He said it just made his toast taste like bacon. That was interesting and fun.
I had two appetizers for dinner (scallops and crab cakes). The crab cakes were fine. They had an ailoi underneath them. I expected it to have some spice...it didn't. That seems to be the problem with the food here...they are afraid of big bold flavors. The crab cakes weren't especially crabby...no big lumps of crab...a little too much filler. I wouldn't order them again.
My other appetizer was the bay scallops. They came on a bed of butternut squash puree (think squash soup...nutmeg, cinnamon) and they were sprinkled with pepitas (pumpkin seeds) and super thinly sliced jalepeno's. This dish was SUPER!! The scallops were seared prefectly. The warm spices mixed with the crunchy, spicy jalepeno...yum! I would get this again!!
Mike got steak, of course. He got broccoli with Parmesan cheese on the side (one of his favorites). Alas, for the 2nd weekend in a row, the steak was cooked medium and not medium rare. We told the manager. Again, they offered to cook him a new steak, but we again, declined.
We each decided to order a dessert. I ordered the bread pudding. It was good, but the bread part didn't seem to be made of lots of pieces of old bread...it seemed to be more made like a cake. Mike ordered cheesecake. The problem was...the desserts ended up being HUGE. They were $9 a piece. Neither of us could finish. Mike brought his home and ate most of it the next day. We wished they'd only charge $6 and cut the size in half.
Overall...an OK restaurant. I don't know that we need to return any time soon.
So, I tried the Figgy Piggy but I asked for the bacon on the side. I don't love bacon but I do love figs and cheese. It was good. The weird thing is that it is a totally onion/fig/cheese type pizza and the sauce they put on the side is regular, standard tomato sauce. This doesn't go with it at all! Something like a balsamic reduction or a white cheese sauce are what is needed...but they don't have that kind of sauce. So, we just didn't put sauce on it. 
Laurie had the monthly special (March) called The Blarney Zone. It has corned beef, pastrami, swiss, onions, gouda. I am not a huge corned beef fan because sometime I find corned beef to be fatty (and this was in places). Otherwise the flavor was good.
Vicki had the most typical pizza tasting one...she had the Meet Me in St. Louie which has pepperoni, Italian sausage, provel cheese. This one the side of regular marinara sauce was perfect. This was good.
