Best Historic Restaurants in Hamilton

Great ambience, fantastic services, and really fun drinks!

The service was unforgettable—those bartenders really know how to tease with their expertly crafted drinks, leaving you craving more with every sip. And the food? It's downright seductive, each bite leaving you wanting nothing more than to indulge again and again.

I visited Magdalena at The Ivy Hotel with my sister for their Tea Service. We arrived a little early and were given a tour of the lovely hotel from a gentleman at the valet station whose name I unfortunately can’t recall. We were allowed to see Room 2 also known as the Watermelon Room. It was a well appointed space that I would love to return and stay in. We were moved to music/billiard room as we were the only guests. Emma, our server, had an amazing knowledge of teas. We were provided a sniffing board that we could use to smell each tea while she explained each tea. We learned everything from how they were made and how they are best served. We both selected Equitea ( a local company)Teas. The tea was delicious and the pastries were some of the best I’ve had. Emma was also very knowledgeable of the area and explained the neighborhood’s history with musical anecdotes. Magdalena has drinks that celebrate many local musicians. I really enjoyed myself and look forward to returning.

My best friend and I absolutely love this place! The atmosphere was cozy, and everything we tried was fantastic, but the highlight of our visit was definitely the beer bread—it was absolutely amazing! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and it paired wonderfully with our meal. To top it off, our waitress was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. We'll definitely be coming back!

Our favorite place! The food never disappoints and the service is always prompt and friendly. There’s a reason we come back time after time - everything is unmatched!
