Brought my parents and brother here when they were visiting and everything was amazing once again! I ordered the scallops which were served with farro, shiitake mushrooms, and spinach in a vanilla butter sauce with lemon relish and the combination of flavors was perfect. My brother got the mushroom fricassee with his steak and that's another must-order menu item!

Sarah really rescued my experience here. When I first arrived, I had a server near the end of his shift, and he seemed kinda over it, and over me before I ever got started. But his shift ended, Sarah took over, and she was attentive, personable, gave great recommendations, and never neglected me a second. Kept my table bussed, kept the cocktails coming, and overall saved the day. The Hamilton has a pretty extensive menu. One entire side of the printed menu is sushi. The Hamilton also serves steak (filet mignon, NY strip, steak frites), pork chops, charcuterie, salads, seafood (crab, lobster, black bass, halibut, shrimp, Branzino). Burgers and sandwiches (lobster roll, crab cake, fried chicken, roast turkey). Apps include edamame, glazed ribs, meatballs, mussels, mozzarella arancini, octopus, hummus. I had the arancini, which was rich, cheesy, and tasty. For my entree, I had the steak frites. The steak was grilled and seared perfectly on the outside, perfect temp inside, and well-seasoned. The frites was great . . . hot, crisp . . . I don't know if they were hand-cut, but if they weren't you could have fooled me. They also have an extensive dessert menu and an in-house pastry chef. They have some creative concoctions, like a peanut butter and jelly dish, cheesecake, tarts, and more. At Sarah's suggestion, I had the bread pudding, which was served with ice cream and whipped cream. It was moist, choclately, sumptuous. I really enjoyed it. I had a few cocktails . . . the bourbon peach sangria, the spritz, and a couple others. They have a pretty diverse cocktail and wine menu. My drinks included ingredients ranging from vodka, Prosecco, bourbon, raspberry, lemon, aperol, lime, egg white, brandy, chardonnay, peach . . . and there are still plenty left for me to try. The mood is very old-school Washington. Lots of dark wood, high booths. Tons of space and the tables aren't too close together (like they so often are in New York). Tasteful and visually-stimulating decor. Would definitely go back again . . . as long as Sarah or someone like Sarah was my server!

Great all around restaurant. Menu choices that satisfies everyone with wonderful spirits to keep the conversation flowing. Our group tried the crab cakes, filet mignon, pork chop, halibut, and salmon. We all raves about our dishes especially the mashed potatoes. They were busy but with reservations made we were quickly seated and had time to admire the decor.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Definitely would be a stop when in DC. Gluten-free friendly menus. Steak and frites terrific. Wife had shrimp, delicious.

After hearing so many great things about The Hamilton, my husband and I made reservations for lunch before heading to the National Theatre to see MJ the Musical. David was our server and knew the menu well. He offered some suggestions and we went for the crab soup as an appetizer. Possibly the best we've ever had! It was rich, creamy, and had chunks of delicious crab meat. Next came the main dish. I had the lump crab cake sandwich with truffle fries. The crab cake was so meaty and tasty and the truffle fries were as delicious as David had described. My husband devoured his NY strip along with the savory mashed potatoes. He did let me try a bite and I found it to be seasoned to perfection! Will we be back? Yes, for sure! Our reservation was for 11:30 in the morning and it was the perfect time to avoid the crowds that come to this DC hot spot!

My friend and I were looking for a place to eat, and after being turned away at the Old Ebbitt Grill because it was too busy, we stumbled upon this place. The inside is pretty spacious, and by luck, even though it was busy, the hostess was able to seat me and my friend at a table. They have a pretty diverse menu comprised of different sushi rolls as well American fare. After asking our waitress what I should order, I got the "District Wings" with mumbo sauce and a "Tsunami Roll." Y'all, I am so ashamed that I grew up so close to D.C. and my first time trying mumbo sauce was at 32 years of age. It was so good. I'm still thinking about those wings with that sweet tangy sauce. I also really enjoyed the Tsunami Roll. Salmon and jumbo lump crab mixed with cream cheese and jalepeño are all my things in a sushi roll, so taking that and frying it in tempura was a winning combination! All in all, I'm glad my friend and I stumbled upon the Hamilton. They have good vibes and good food!

Solid option for crab cakes and steak from The Clyde Group, with essentially the same menu as Old Ebbitt's. Be sure to book a reservation in advance, especially during peak dinner and brunch hours. The service is not as amazing as Old Ebbitt's but the food is just as solid, and the seating spacious and comfortable. Be sure to grab the crab cakes with corn and tomato Chesapeake and the bone-in ribeye with a side of the crab fried rice (which does come with a decent portion of lump crab meat). Worth a visit if you are in DC! Definitely a classic.

**Service:** We visited The Hamilton after church, arriving earlier than our reservation time, but they graciously seated us right away. Our group of five was very hungry, and we were quickly seated and able to place our orders. The service was attentive and efficient, ensuring we had everything we needed. **Taste:** My friends ordered various breakfast items, all of which were well-prepared and delicious. The only downside was that the serving sizes were a bit on the smaller side--we could have used a little more on our plates. I opted for sushi, and they had a great deal with $5 off rolls for a defined time, which was a nice bonus. The sushi tasted good, and I appreciated the quality and flavor. **Ambiance:** The Hamilton offers a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere, perfect for a post-church meal with friends. The restaurant's elegant yet relaxed setting made it a great place to enjoy our meal together. **Recommendation:** Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience with good food and service. The only slight drawback was the smaller portion sizes for the breakfast items. Despite this, I would definitely come back again if I'm in the area. The sushi deal and the overall ambiance make The Hamilton worth revisiting.
