Hamilton's Urban Steakhouse & Bourbon Bar, St. Louis MO

I took my AMAZING WIFE to Hamilton urban steakhouse and bourbon bar for her birthday! A very intimate atmosphere. Exposed brick throughout creates a rather cozy space. We enjoyed scallops and panko rolled cauliflower for our appetizers. For our drinks we enjoyed a Makers Mark flight, a chefs choice mocktail, and a cocktail called “I put a spell on you”, which consists of chambord, cranberry juice, and prosecco. For our entrees we had a 6oz filet, a 22oz dry aged ribeye with twice baked potatoes, Brussel sprouts and macaroni and cheese. Our server was very personal and knowledgeable, offering excellent recommendations. This was our first visit here and we will be back. They even brought and bourbon glaze covered bread pudding for her birthday! A special shout out to our table neighbors for joining me in singing happy birthday.

Fantastic! Excellent food, service and ambiance! Charles was incredible, a request for his table is a must!

Celebrate special occasions with an incredible private dining experience at Hamilton’s Urban Steakhouse & Bourbon Bar near Lafayette Square. Our family’s intimate setting, stellar service (thanks, Marcy!), and family-style servings of appetizers, charcuterie, and desserts made my aunt’s 79th birthday memorable. The roasted dry rub salmon (served with seasonal vegetables and mashed potatoes) and cheesecake were personal favorites. Those who opted for the rib-eye or filet also had a savory dining experience. Our server pointed out that Hamilton’s Urban Steakhouse and Winnie’s Wine Bar are both inspired concepts under Eleven Eleven Mississippi in Lafayette Square. Overall, anmazing experience!

In keeping with the custom, as it is my last night in St. Louis, I went out in search of the best steak in the city and possibly a "Top 10 Steakhouse". Hamilton's Urban Steakhouse lived up to its recommendation. The service was great, the food overall was very good, and as usual, I had a great time with some of my favorite colleagues.

The atmosphere was fun and comfortable. Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The fresh bread was light, delicate, and delicious. We started off with the charcuterie board, which was great and perfect for four people to share. The bacon fat candle was a fun and creative touch.

The waiter suggested I order the Caesar salad rather than the lobster bisque. The salad was good and met (but did not at all exceed) my expectations.

Typically for my first visit to any steakhouse I order the NY Strip. Here they have a 12oz KC strip, which I think typically has a bone, but here it did not. I think they decide to call it a KC strip because all their meat is Midwest sourced (from 9 family owned farms in Iowa). The steak was very good. I liked the crust on the top of the steak, but it seemed to lack any on the bottom. It seems that the steak was not perfectly cooked evenly, but overall it was the correct temperature. For the most part I liked the seasoning, but at one point there was a too strong flavor which I think was caraway. Perhaps this is part of their "KC" steak seasoning style and I had a piece that was overseasoned with this spice mix. Some might think I am overly critical of the steak, but in search of the best steakhouses and the exclusive "Top 10 Steakhouses", I must be critical. However, I want to make clear that overall the steak was very good and I think the price was very fair. I would gladly return here and have this steak again or try another cut, like the ribeye.

The sides however fell short of excellent. I had a loaded baked potato which was only moderately loaded and was a little burnt on the bottom. Still tasted good and was satisfying, but not quite at the level of other top tier steakhouses. Most disappointingly was the macaroni and cheese, which tasted like noodles and velveta under some melted cheddar. It wasn't bad (believe me, I've had bad mac and cheese at many restaurants) but there was nothing special or impressive about it. Unless you're ordering it for a child, you should probably skip it. Lastly, we shared the bread pudding for dessert, which was very good, although I felt that the bourbon flavor in the sauce was a little overpowering.

This is a very good restaurant with a very good steak not far from downtown St. Louis. I would gladly return here and encourage others to try this restaurant as well. But it falls short of being a "Top 10 Steakhouse", reserved only for those places that are perfect or damn close.

This was my first time to Hamilton’s. My wife and I went to celebrate our anniversary. Loved everything about this Restaurant. Great drink/cocktail selection. The Bartender makes a great Old Fashioned. Ordered a Wedge Salad and Ribeye is my favorite steak; and I ordered the Dry Aged Bone-In, Medium Rare with Twice Baked Potato. Everything was delicious. By far my favorite Ribeye I have had in St. Louis to date. You can come dressy or casual, wonderful atmosphere, nice music, excellent wait staff. Will be coming back again!

Spent the even with Co-workers for dinner and enjoying the time catching up and talking a little shop. Because of the size of group we had the private room to be in, giving us the ability to talk without having to raise a voice like a few other places I've been at. Had an easy time ordering with the smaller menu to choose from. Dessert was good for sure. The steak was a tad over cooked but was still okay.

One of the best steak houses in Stl, hands down. First thought it may be sketch due to the area, but it's a diamond in the rough.

The only reason I'm giving this restaurant 2 stars is because of the great service by Charles. 4 of us went for dinner. 1 salmon dish, 1 fillet and 2 NY strips. The salmon was good but all the steaks were undercooked and filled with grissle. This was the worst steakhouse I've ever been too. Many other choices for the money.

Amazing evening last night for dinner! It couldn't have been better in any way, our food and service was unmatched. A very special night with family made perfect. Thank you so much to the staff and of coarse Wendy & Paul:)

Four out of five in our party were disappointed.

When the food eventually did come out, the steaks were overcooked, One was so tough that only half of it was eaten. (That steak they comped.) My sea bass was a bit fishy on the edges but tasted okay in the center. The brown lobster bisque was I don't know what it was. I think they served us the wrong soup.

Our server was very friendly but calling us his friends over and over and over again was awkward.

Overall a a somewhat disappointing experience.

I was there for my birthday and for my girlfriend to meet my parents for the first time. They served my girlfriend a rotten filet. I am so embarrassed that I requested this restaurant.

We had a wonderful experience from the moment we walked in the door. I made reservations on OpenTable and checked that we were celebrating our anniversary. When we walked in, they told us Happy Anniversary. We were immediately sat in the Bourbon Room as requested. We were promptly greeted by our server, Jim, and were both given a celebratory glass of Champagne. Jim was wonderful and he made our first experience hard to beat. My husband who has had many different whiskeys and bourbons asked him to surprise him with glasses and Jim hit home runs for him both times. We had the Charcuterie board which was phenomenal, our fillets were melt in your mouth, and our desserts of Carrot Cake and Cheesecake were massive and delicious. Needless to say, we will be back!

Didn't choose the rib eye like I normally do but they had the best smoked pork chop thick cut it was awesome!

Went here with a group of 8 for a birthday dinner. Highly recommend making a reservation as it seem to fill up quick.

Service was pretty good and our glasses were never empty. I had the kansas city strip steak, medium rare with gorgonzola butter, roasted mushrooms, and twiced baked potatoes. Overall the food was pretty good, but you could get a decent steak cheaper at another steakhouse.

Also fair warning, they take their dress code seriously.
