The food is great but let’s talk about the music venue. This place is what those of us who are 45+ and used to go to the 930 club need. It has food, it has service, it has tables and CHAIRS. Don’t get me wrong we still stand to dance and carry on but to have the option to sit, sip our drinks *that get brought to us* and eat chicken wings in the process is just next level civilized. The vibe is speak-easy and super chill. The service can be a bit slow, but honey, I got a chair, so just bring me two at a time.

Made brunch reservations and were promptly seated on our time in a very comfortable booth seating. It was pleasant sunny day in DC, and Marcus, our server was quick to welcome us and take down our order. Booth setup was fantastic, noise levels on the lower end, and sunny! Our order included Cream of Crab Soup ($10.99), Zucchini & Basil Frittata ($19.99), Shrimp & Gritts ($24.99), Kids Pizza, and a side of Truffle-Rosemary Fries ($9.99). Food was in-line with expectations and the Frittata was excellent and based on Marcus' recommendation. The Truffle Fries were fresh and tasty too! Food arrives within 15-mins of placing the order and we felt the menu was priced well. Overall, we had an excellent experience and were glad we chose this place for brunch on our final day in DC! Will visit again and will recommend to friends and family for its excellent food and service, and a great location!

First time at The Hamilton and what a pleasant experience it was!! This spot was recommended for a work dinner, and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is huge and aesthetically pleasing—it definitely gives upscale dining vibes. Britney was our server, and she was exceptional!! She was attentive, thorough, kind, and really knew the menu. Honestly, she made the experience—thank you, queen! We had an 8 PM reservation, and although it was busy, the quality of the food didn’t reflect that, which I really appreciated. Everything came out hot and fresh. To start, I ordered a single crab cake, fried jalapeños, and a few charcuterie boards (I didn’t personally try the boards). The crab cake and fried jalapeños were 10/10!! For my entrée, I had the New York strip with rainbow carrots and whipped mashed potatoes. The steak was cooked to perfection—super tender, like butter. The carrots, with the glaze and ricotta, complemented each other really well, and the whipped potatoes were clearly made with care. Overall, 10/10. I’d highly, highly recommend this restaurant if you’re in the area. They have a wide variety on the menu, and it’s definitely worth the experience!

Really liked the food here. The sea bream nigiri was excellent. Our waiter said it had just come in and he just watched it being cut. Indeed it was incredibly fresh. The other thing that exceeded any expectations I could have had was the crab fried rice. There was a good amount of crab meat and I really liked how the flavor of the rice was nice but not overpowering, letting the crab be the star of the show. The mussels, Brussels sprouts and rockfish were all very good, would recommend any of those as well. Downside was how long it took the food to come out. The appetizers came out in a reasonable amount of time but there was an extremely large gap in time for the entrees. Don't know how long exactly but we showed up around 5:05 for a 5 pm reservation, were seated within about 10 minutes and barely made our wizards game at 7, about a 15 min walk away. We had known roughly what we wanted to order beforehand so we did not delay in that, and we did not order drinks. As we waited for the entree, we joked at this rate we're going to miss the start of the game. When we first said that we really did not think that was possible but it actually did almost happen. Other than that, the service was very good.

Really impressive spot right near the white house and treasury, not too far from the Hamilton statue. Food was decent and present with class. Prices were reasonable especially considering the location. Hamilton was on the name and the additions and menu, but not too much other Hamilton in theming... Lots of birds that were famous paintings. Fancy ish place, but since in tourist area some dressed like congressmen and some dressed in shorts and tshirts. Everyone left fed and happy. Reservation recommended.
