    Hamilton DC is a fantastic place with a warm and inviting atmosphere. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the excellent service. My server was incredibly friendly, offering great recommendations and checking in often to ensure everything was perfect. He had a great smile and a genuinely pleasant demeanor, which made the experience even better. The food was delicious. I had the crab cake and some sushi, both of which were fresh and full of flavor. For dessert, I tried the peanut butter and jelly cake. While it was good, it was not my favorite, but I still appreciated the unique twist. Overall, the combination of great service, tasty food, and a welcoming environment makes Hamilton DC a place I would gladly visit again. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience in the city.
