Raza’s of Hamilton, a new upscale restaurant, held an official grand opening celebration on May 1.
Hamilton Mayor Jeff Martin and Assemblywoman Tennille McCoy joined the Raza family and staff on Thursday, May 1, to cut the ribbon.
Raza’s of Hamilton, located at 557 U.S. Route 130 in Hamilton, is billed as an American restaurant with a European flair. It looks to offer a “welcoming, rustic, and industrial space perfect for a night out or a private event.”
The restaurant is located in the former site of Hamilton Tap and Grill.
Syed Raza is the managing director. His résumé includes leadership roles at venues such as The Estate at Farrington Lake, The Gramercy at Lakeside Manor and Buttonwood Manor. Joining Syed is his son, co-owner and general manager Elias Raza.
