- EEllenBaltimore / Maryland •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoAlways happy to be at Hamilton's. Love the food, drinks and service. Recent visit included a reunion with some dear friends I hadn't seen in over a year- we go back more than 50 years. So of course we stayed a long time- 2 hours. Our reservation was for 7 pm. Despite not leaving til 9 pm, the staff never gave any indication we were overstaying. Gracious hosts til the end. I so appreciated it. Who knows when we will see each other again.More infoHamiltons' At First & MainPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Charlottesville•4.7

- GGwynneVirginia •38 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWow, just wow - the food is outstanding. We had 4 in our party and everyone got steak - rib-eye, NY, and filet (2). They were all cooked perfectly and the portions are large. We had sides of smashed potatoes and mushrooms - both were outstanding. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. John, our server, was great. He was perfectly attentive and time everything very well. The salad that comes with the dinner is underwhelming - I like my salad lightly dressed however it tasted like there was no dressing at all. That could definitely be better. If I would change one thing, it would be the seating. The tables along the back are high tables with chairs and a bench. Unless you are very tall, the table is high so you feel your face is too close to the table and the seating just isn't very comfortable. I hope to sit in a booth sometime which looks much more comfortable. Overall we will definitely be back to enjoy the amazing food and highly recommend Black Cow!More infoBlack Cow ChophousePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Charlottesville•4.9
