Hamilton鈥檚, nestled on the ground floor of the Godfrey Hotel Detroit on Michigan Avenue in Corktown, pays titular homage to Hamilton Carhartt, founder of the Carhartt Clothing brand that originated its brand in the same historic neighborhood. With its city vibe and accessible American fare, the restaurant brings modern sophistication to the vibrant Corktown dining and bar scene, offering an updated take on classic dishes in an inspiring and elevated, urban cool contemporary atmosphere.
Hamilton鈥檚 accommodates a diverse culinarian clientele. Its flavorful menus include curated coffee, artistically crafted cocktails, innovative appetizers and main dishes, and house-made desserts sourced from high-quality ingredients. Dishes are beautifully served by attentive, welcoming staff in the approachable yet elegant, setting.
Think gorgeous sculptural lighting, warm wood tones meeting textured metal, artistically curated for an elevated experience 鈥 with street-level views of vibrant Corktown Detroit. Hotel restaurants can find themselves choosing between accommodating a wide-ranging clientele or sitting often empty as a weekend-only dining room destination. However, Hamilton鈥檚 is geared towards being accommodating without compromising.
Hamilton鈥檚 enters the popular Corktown dining scene with breakfast, lunch and dinner served seven days a week, with a menu that reaches high and succeeds.
The d茅cor provides a warm urban feeling without the cold sterility that often accompanies modernistic design. It is as welcoming for a romantic dinner for two as for a celebratory party, with a dining room that can accommodate 90 guests presently, and 38 more on its outdoor terrace on Michigan Ave once weather allows.
鈥淲e wanted an atmosphere where the local community would feel as welcome as the hotel guests,鈥 says, Aaron Black, General Manager. 鈥淪et in the center of the vibrant and walkable Corktown neighborhood, the restaurant鈥檚 Michigan Ave street entrance is separate from the hotel and designed to be welcoming to the community.鈥
The seasonal, classic-American menu features local ingredients, from its craft cocktails (You can鈥檛 get any more seasonal or local than the spring-inspired 鈥淕arden of Daisies鈥 with Valentine鈥檚 White Blossom vodka as its base), to its rotating desserts. A recent sampling of the latter included a 鈥渃reamsicle鈥 confection, and a swoon-worthy decadent chocolate cake.
Though poultry, fish and beef are prominently offered in the appetizers, soups, salad and main dishes 鈥 from a tuna tartar app and short rib barley soup to Halibut fish and chips and filet mignon with green peppercorn sauce 鈥 vegan and vegetarian options have a respectable and well-thought-out presence from its 鈥淓verything鈥 Biscuits with Umami butter appetizer to a Pesto caseracce with fava beans main dish. Many of the menu items are also gluten-free.
