    Every aspect of the celebratory birthday dinner at Ocean Prime for my dear friend was perfect. The greeting and professionalism of the valet gentlemen started the evening on the right foot. I arrived 15 minutes prior to my 6pm reservation, and the hostesses immediately greeted me with smiles and accommodations. They said we already have your table ready and directed me to a large comfortable booth to wait for my birthday guest. Upon his arrival, my amazing waiter, Raphael, arranged for us to have our own truffle popcorn and their delicious specialty drinks (bubbles and berries). Raphael is an extraordinary maître d!!! His meal and dessert suggestions were on point and delicious. The two sushi dishes (Ocean Rolls and Dynamite Rolls), the Chilean Sea Bass, the King Salmon, dinner drinks (Smoked Old Fashioned and Hot & Dirty), and birthday celebratory desserts (Chocolate Peanut Butter and Warm Butter Cake) we’re SCRUMDELICIOUS!!! My friend and I were treated extremely well and thoroughly pleased with the experience. Many thanks to all involved.

    The overall experience of the Hamilton was amazing. Several of our party have food allergies and they accommodated all of us. The food was amazing. Alexandra our server was the best server we encountered all week in DC and the Hamilton is our favorite restaurant. The standouts were the “boots with the fur” cocktail, sweet potato hummus, all out entrees, and the bread pudding and apple galette. Highly recommend!

    Food portions are generous and flavor full, pizza is outstanding. We've had the skillet bread in the past which was very filling with a rich marinara sauce. The Cream of Crab soup is ok, but not great with more broth than crab. I don't like Sherry, and usually it's put on top of the soup, but here it's cooked into the base which I wish I'd known before ordering. The blueberry cheesecake was rich and creamy with a generous dollop of whipped cream, definitely more than enough to share.
