    This is a tried and true favorite. Took a student who is interning in DC and shel loved it. The place was packed and traffice was terrible so i got there late, bt I asked for them to hold the reservation. The hostesses, down to the wait staff were awesome. High energy - lots of Capital Hill celebs there.

    Oh my gosh, this was such a fabulous restaurant! It was so pretty inside. They still had decorations up for Christmas and it was spectacular. As I walked in the door, I saw a lady who was hand making ravioli. I had to have it! I got the lobster ravioli and it was amazing. Leftovers for lunch today. It was a nice touch having an offer of amaretto or Sambuca at the end of our meal complementary. It was a nice place to celebrate my husband‘s birthday. I highly recommend it.

    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!
