Blue Caracas cocktail
Stan H.

Good service, respectable Korean chicken that could have used more peppers for flavoring. I am not sure if the maple syrup was 100% but I hope so considering the price. The blue cocktail had good tropical flavor and the alcohol wasn't too much which I like personally.

We made it here our last night at the hotel. They closed early, in my opinion, for a restaurant/ bar attached to a massive hotel. The surrounding areas do not have many bars and restaurants so I would think the ones that are in the area would stay open longer, since it seems like there is a demand. We arrived about an hour and a half prior to closing. We had a disappointing dinner but were still not hungry. We browsed the menu and ordered some drinks. The place was not packed but it was definitely busy. There were at least 20 of us sitting there. The place is huge. There were plenty of places to sit but we decided to sit at the bar for quick service. Besides, since it was near closing, there might not have been table service. Our bartender was okay but not super attentive or sociable. My first drink was delivered picture perfect but my second drink did not have all the fancy garnishes. I guess it made sense since they were closing soon. The food always smelled good so maybe next time I will try the food.

Mushroom pizza sooo goood!
Mary L.

Nice atmosphere for unwinding after a busy day in DC. The lively bartenders are amazing and the mushroom pizza they recommended was, chef's kiss, perfecto! The menu is pretty limited and unfortunately included a lot of spicy food but maybe that's your jam.

Mushroom Flatbread

Did you know they import their pizza dough from Italy? Welp, now you do. Get the pizza, burger and flat breads. You will love them! This restaurant is located inside the Embassy Suites we were staying at. In the end it was cheaper to just eat here, not go in the cold and/or order DoorDash. Our host was so kind. He sat us down and engaged with my 10 year old son about the kids menu offering. I really appreciate it when my children have interactions with others. The food was pretty good. Yes, pricing subs a tad high. But, the quality was worth it, you are in DC and a hotel. Need something cheaper? I'm sure there is another option. But, my family needed the connivence this evening. The flatbreads and pizza were fantastic! The side house salad was pretty plentiful. My kiddos chicken tenders were massive. The old bay fries were tasty as well. I did get the burger and it just needed mayo. But, otherwise it was pretty good. Overall, we are impressed! Keep up the great work!

What a wonderful experience!! Our waiter, Stanly was so attentive!! We walked out of an overpriced restaurant that was "out" of Iced Tea!! So glad we walked past this great restaurant!!

Pomegranate cosmo
Alesia S.

Stopped by the bar as I was attending an event in the private room. As many people were grabbing a drink before the event, there www standing room only. For there to be multiple people working at the bar, I had to wait a long time to be acknowledged. I was finally had a chance to order as they were admitting folks into the event. It seemed like everyone at bar moved very slow. I ordered the pomegranate cosmo, which was good and looked very festive for the Halloween season.

This place is sooo good! Perfect ambiance, the vibe is kind of a modern pub without being dark and…read moredreary, big comfortable booths, plenty of space to not feel like you're part of someone else's conversation. Honestly we were so pleasantly surprised by how good the burgers are! I had the Capital Burger which had such incredible flavor and the burger itself is thick and juicy. Despite having just had a big dinner somewhere else, as I write this, my mouth is watering. My daughter had the wild mushrooms burger and she loved it -- the aioli had the perfect tang to go with the mushroom and Swiss, both burgers were cooked perfectly medium as requested. The old fashioned was just your typical old fashioned with a slice of candied bacon attached to the outside of the glass. We were hoping for something smokier and a little different but it was still a very good Old Fashioned. We shared the chocolate mousse and it was perfection. Yum! If I lived here this would be my new regular spot.

I had the blue cheese and black truffle cheeseburger, with bacon, and it was good. . Very good. I could not identify or really pinpoint where the black truffles came in, but the beef was well seasoned. The additions were a dollar too expensive across the board so I skipped those. The fries were sort of stereotypical, nothing really fancy about those. I debated about having the truffle fries, but didn't really wanna pay the extra three dollars. Bless my server, he didn't know what black truffles were, either. The Reesie's peanut butter cup Skrewball milkshake was quite good. Good use of Skrewball. Could've done with a little more alcohol, but what a great combination. Good taste. Vanilla ice cream and peanut butter all the way through. My only .. concern.. were the pickles. There's this NoVA chain restaurant that serves POPCORN before the meal, which I think has to be the most depressing, unappetizing, lazy and cheap way to start a meal. Capital Burger servers sliced sweet pickles in a jar. That.. is a step up from popcorn, but not by much... If I was in the mood for a burger and boozy milkshake, this would be on the list, but not my first choice.

My friend and I were ready to wind down for the night, so we stopped by The Hamilton for cocktails…read moreand dessert. And let me tell you, I LOVED the ambiance! The rich woodwork and high ceilings give the place such a beautiful, classic feel. We ordered the chocolate mousse, which was light and came with plenty of whipped cream. My friend got the pumpkin cake, which was apparently so good he barely left me a bite! I also tried the Honeymoon Phase cocktail, and it was quite a nice pour. Our bartender was awesome. Verdict: A lovely spot to end the evening with dessert, cocktails, and a beautiful atmosphere. I especially enjoyed the interior! I'd definitely come back to try more food!

For starters! I needed to move my reservation and called- spoke to Nicole. She was SO sweet. I…read morecould literally hear her smiling through the phone while assisting me. She changed the reservation, added a birthday note, and wished my boyfriend a Happy Birthday. I later had the pleasure of meeting Raven Jones! The "hostest with the mostest". Raven was funny, kind, helpful, and friendly! Gave us a great seat and wished us a good evening and him a happy birthday. Our server was Aaron. Aaron did his job- nothing beyond that and nothing memorable- just his job and that's fine. My only issue with the evening is Aaron did nothing to acknowledge the reason we came to The Hamilton. I thought- well we changed the time of our reservation so he didn't know? I shared the information with another server privately to inform Aaron and watched the server tell Aaron the news and surprisingly- Aaron still did nothing.. not even say "Happy Birthday". I was a bit disappointed by this. We closed up and carried on with our evening. The food was exceptional and the service was FAST! We enjoyed the evening overall and I'm happy I chose this location.

At my recommendation, my son and his girlfriend went here after a day of touring in D.C…read more. Apparently, they ordered the blue crab, mac & cheese, and chicken wings. Both reported, it was an outstanding choice. They enjoy the time before they took the Metro back home. There are no complaints about the service, and they didn't really mention what the place looks like. But it could not have been too bad. They did say, it was clean and nice in the 22-year-olds that's a compliment. They also said it was convenient to get to the metro from there.

I won't be back unfortunately and you should probably keep walking and find something else. Didn't…read morerealize what kind of restaurant this was until I was told to order off an app and then my food would be ran out to me...and that's all you get for customer service. Runners just do that. Run around the restaurant throwing food down on tables and run back to the kitchen. Never checking on anyone to see if they need anything and how the food is. I ordered the SW Salad ($16.50) with a steak add on ($9.00) at medium temp. I also ordered a cup of Clam Chowder ($5.95) as an appetizer. Chowder came out pretty much right on top of my salad, but no big deal. Chowder was decent taste, but only found one clam. Ok whatever. Salad came out looking like a side salad on a large plate with five slices of rare, tough steak. It was so rare, that it was extremely hard to cut through, but again, who was I going to talk to about it. No wait staff would even look my way. I couldn't even get a refill on my water and there is no place in the app to order a glass of water...so that's that. Unfortunately it was just an extremely bad experience for $40. I'll be looking for dinner somewhere else tomorrow night.
