    This is a amazing steak house. They have a very nice selection of drinks you can try. Variation of steak and seafood you can order. I really like all my stuff I ordered here. The price is in the upper side. The service is very good. The staff here are very helpful and informative. The atmosphere is very classy. I really enjoyed it here.

    Food, drinks, and service were all okay — overall decent. I’d come back, but not for the value. When a place markets itself as exclusive fine dining, you expect more than standard service. Notable issues: • No cutlery or napkin with the appetizer; had to eat it with my fingers. • Dessert menu was handed out, but no one came back to take the order. Bottom line: Good, but not quite fine dining as advertised — especially for the price point.

    My experience at Hamilton Walker’s was truly A+ from start to finish. I recently hosted my mother’s 80th birthday celebration in their private dining room, and I could not have asked for a more perfect evening. From the very first inquiry (made all the way from Dallas, TX, five months prior), Nathan and the Hamilton Walker’s team went above and beyond. Every question was answered promptly and thoroughly, the private dining menu options were outstanding, and Nathan worked closely with me to bring my vision for this milestone celebration to life. The food was exceptional, and the staff—from the servers to the chef—were professional, attentive, and genuinely kind. The service, technology, and overall coordination were seamless, making the evening stress-free and memorable for all. Hamilton Walker’s has set the standard for excellence in dining and hospitality. I am now a lifelong customer and can confidently say it is the premier restaurant in downtown Champaign. Thank you to Nathan and the entire Hamilton Walker’s team for making my mom’s birthday so incredibly special!
