soaring beauty of this gracious and
light-filled space offers views of

JIM
HAMILTON
Jim Hamilton
belies the small town upbringing
where his father was the town doctor
and most everyone was clueless about
good food. A graduate
of Yale and the Rhode Island School
of Design, Jim unwittingly began
his career in show business working
in local playhouses designing stage
sets and lighting. This catapulted
him to Broadway becoming an award
winning Broadway set producer for
such memorable plays as ‘Hair’, ‘Godspell’, ‘Dancin’ ‘and
Equis’. Jim’s
marriage to his French first wife
initiated his education in gourmet
dining. It was a revelatory
experience that ignited a passion
for foods. With his insatiable
appetite for knowledge, Jim enrolled
in Paris’ famed La Varenne
to study cooking. He then traveled
and tasted his way all through the
sun-splashed Mediterranean countryside
developing his palate and ideas which
are reflected in Jim
Hamilton’s Grill Room menus
today.
Jim has since cooked with some of the great
Chefs of the world; Alain Saillac, Jasper
White, Jacques Pepin and Jeremiah Tower,
perfecting his skills to bring home to
Lambertville. Through a cooking school series he started
here, word quickly spread of his talents. Feature
articles by food writers from The New York
Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer quickly
followed. When
he opened Hamilton’s
Grill Room in
1988, the ultra-fresh menu and focus on
seasonal, local and simply prepared foods,
won critical acclaim. Today Jim Hamilton’s reputation
and resume reads like the true Renaissance
man that he is; set
designer, lighting designer, architect,
decorator, philanthropist, chef, and restaurateur. |

Mark
Miller
Take one bite of any
dish on Hamilton’s
Grill Room’s constantly
changing menu and you will realize that
you are in sure hands. Mark
Miller has that rare gift for grilling
which has earned the restaurant four-star
reviews.For Mark, as for owner Jim Hamilton,
dining out is not as much about eating
elaborately as it is about eating well. “It’s important to me that
people leave the restaurant with a sense
of well being,” Miller says, “having
eaten both memorably and having gotten
a happy lift from the experience.” Food is theatre at the Grill Room as
Mark deftly turns out vibrant flavor combinations
with perfectly grilled steaks, chops and
seafood where you can have a front row
seat at the open kitchen.
Tracing
his original training back to his work
with Gerard Billebault, a chef at Philadelphia’s
famed Le Bec Fin, his fascination with
world cuisines and his love affair with
food continues to develop. Mark joined Hamilton’s
Grill Room as
Chef de Cuisine in 1993 and subsequently
took position of Executive Chef in 1999.
Given the freedom and responsibility
to develop his own cooking style and
signature, he quickly gained a reputation
for an unwavering focus on the innovative
pairings and simple preparation of incredibly
fresh foods. Ask
Mark Miller what keeps him excited, and
he’ll tell you that it is his time
spent developing relationships with his
purveyors, coaching a skilled and loyal
staff and his commitment to providing the
Grill Room’s clientele with a market-fresh,
fulfilling dining experience.
