Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in Mount Rainier

We live in Los Angeles, CA and it's our first time in DC. We had Thanksgiving Day dinner at The Hamilton and it was perfect. Our waitress, Ash, was patient and attentive. Food serving portions were generous and tasty. The ambience and decor is modern yet classic, simply wonderful.

Excellent experience. Adrianna was outstanding and very attentive.

It was a vibe ✨ My girl V deserves the world with hosting my fiancé and I. She was able to match us with some of the best recommendations in the house. Although they do not serve food, they have bomb kettle cooked chips and V will recommend the best Chinese restaurant that deliver. For our drinks we had; keep it peachy, give me butterflies, & others. 10/10 must try spot; tell Veronica the two moms never made it to that club 👀, she’ll know exactly what I’m taking about.

We had such a delightful experience at Estuary! We were in DC for business/vacation and wanted to try somewhere special and romantic. We were seated near the corner so had views out both windows of the pretty Christmas lights and the beautiful water feature below. The service was incredible--Lauren took such good care of us! The food was fantastic and it all tasted very fresh. We had the crab cakes and I may be spoiled forever because these were simply outstanding--lots of whole, sweet crab chunks and little if any filler. Loved the green sauce and the tiny veggies it was served with! I had the mushroom risotto and husband had the NY strip steak. Both were delicious. All of the dishes were plated artfully, which enhanced the experience. For dessert we had the chocolate bar which is like a layered mousse and was sweet and decadent while still being light. One thing we noticed--because the kitchen is open, we could see food coming out that wasn't on our menu (burgers and other sandwiches and fries, and I think a large slice of chocolate cake?) Those are for the adjoining lounge menu but I wonder if diners could order those as well? We would absolutely return to Estuary to dine again. Everything about it felt special! Kudos to the chef and all other staff members for such a job well done!

Good food, prompt service and reasonably priced. Nice outdoor seating area.
