- MMarkVIPTampa / Central Florida West •17 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoThe 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!More infoThe HamiltonPrice: Moderate• American• Downtown•4.7
