Holidays at The Alfond Inn
2026 Holiday Dining Events
In the heart of walkable Winter Park, Florida, Hamilton's Kitchen is a Modern Southern fine dining destination where every meal serves a philanthropic mission: funding Rollins College scholarships. Surrounded by the museum-quality contemporary art collection of The Alfond Inn, our restaurant honors the legacy of our namesake, Hamilton Holt, president of Rollins College from 1925 to 1949. Known for his hospitality, Holt welcomed any guest into his home, stating, "If you can find a chair, you're welcome in my kitchen." We proudly carry forward that gracious invitation today, inviting you to pull up a chair, savor locally sourced seasonal fare, and join Hamilton Holt's legacy of generosity and community.



Hamilton's Kitchen is proud to be a recipient of the 2026 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence.
Inspired by the warm hospitality that defines our restaurant and The Alfond Inn, our wine collection was meticulously curated to pair harmoniously with each chef-crafted menu selection, transforming dining in Winter Park into a global culinary journey.
