"my boyfriend and i live in the area and hamilton inn has been a long time favorite of ours. we've tried basically everything on their menu besides the salads and can say with CONFIDENCE that you will not have a bad meal here, ever. sometimes restaurants will have hits and misses on their menu here at hamilton inn, there are only hits. hamilton inn's menu changes up slightly seasonally, but one thing that has stayed the same (and is my FAVORITE THING) is their $1 happy hour oysters on wednesdays. i'm not a fan of briny oysters (prefer sweeter oysters) and their blue point oysters have a special place in my heart. their happy hour doesn't only last an hour either, it's goes on for pretty much all of wednesday night. such a win!what we've ordered in the past (pictures are only from our most recent visit): spicy tuna tartare jumbo lump crab cake french onion soup dumplings these come in an escargot like dish. SO good truffled egg pizza one of the first appetizers i've ever tried from hamilton inn, got me hooked lamb burger french dip fan favorite, my god, if you're trying to impress your date, i'd recommend this one 10th street cheesesteak they don't skimp on the meat montauk lobster roll not my favorite thing i've had here, but the amount of lobster and other toppings they include is crazy good mexican torta my bf got this one a while back, nothing but good things about it the inn burger classic steak frites everytime we come here, my bf is between this dish and something new. we usually like to try the new stuff but it's stayed a favorite east LA fish tacos there are better fish tacos out there, but these are very very decent. love the spicy aioli they use as well french onion mac cheese we saw this on hamilton inn's instagram and immediately went to try it. my god. so cheesy. so good. 10/10"
