While it's true Hamilton's best-known restaurant for fine dining is Shakespeare's Dining Lounge, how many people would know that it also serves OSTRICH FILET MIGNON, BUFFALO STEAKS OR WILD BOAR?
When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969, it began as a steak house. But over the years, as the public's tastes changed, so did the menu. Now customers can order not only prime U.S. choice corn fed beef steaks, but also wild game such as caribou and venison.
Shakespeare's also provides an extensive selection of fish, including live lobster, fresh salmon, sea bass, trout, pickerel, red snapper and swordfish.
