We had an amazing dinner at The Hamilton in DC! We arrived a little early, but the hostesses were wonderful and seated us right away. We started with a lemon drop and a Stella, then shared the firecracker sushi roll--it was fresh, delicious, and spot-on with flavor. For our entrées, the double-cut lamb chops were tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. The lamb ragù was just as impressive, with fresh, al dente pasta and an amazing sauce. Between the cozy booths and the attentive service from our server, January, it was such a comfortable place to spend an evening. We'll definitely be back--thank me later! read more

My friend and I were ready to wind down for the night, so we stopped by The Hamilton for cocktails and 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! read more

For starters! I needed to move my reservation and called- spoke to Nicole. She was SO sweet. I could 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. read more

A staple, an oldie but goodie, a solid option for drinks with co-workers or friends, meetup spot before heading over to the Warner or the National. Tonight I stopped in for a drink and was able to snag a seat at the bar. Service was quick. I was enjoying my drink within 10 mins of taking my seat. The ambience was to be expected for a Friday night and immediately after work hours. read more

We had tickets for a show at the Warner, so made dinner reservations here for dinner. The menu is quite extensive, something for everyone. The mood is busy, but upbeat, in a beautiful spot right on the street. Its also huge! Highlights were the potstickers, short rib appetizer. The apple dessert was meh, and the carrot dish was too blackened, and had a butane flavor. However, all of us would definitely go back !!! read more

It's been YEARS since I've been to The Hamilton. A recent trip to DC and a free gift card is what brought me here. I went for brunch, but was in more of a lunch mood. I sat outside on the patio. To start, I got the calamari appetizer. Yall! Their calamari is so freakin good! The remoulade sauce that comes with it just takes it to the next level. I got the crab cake entree and it was just what I needed. I recommend replacing the tartar sauce with their remoulade sauce. The Tea Time mocktail was very refreshing. The service was good. The only downside is that there was an issue with the gift card that I won from their social media page. After some back and forth, they eventually honored it and all was well. But this experience was definitely better than my past experience, so I'm adding a star. read more

We stopped in to this beautiful place for lunch one afternoon. It was in a great spot with lots of seating! I would definitely recommend for any size party. The service was wonderful and very friendly, and definitely great with our busy kids. The food was excellent and tasty overall! The service was also very quick! read more

As part of the Clyde's restaurant group, we were excited to try this since we love Old Ebbitt. However, we were a bit let down from the food. My girlfriend got the steak and eggs which she thought was good but on the saltier side. I got the crab cake benedict but my eggs were way overcooked and not runny whatsoever. My server was nice and apologetic about it. The sushi was surprisingly good and fresh. I was skeptical at first about sushi at an American restaurant but was happily surprised. Overall, a bit disappointed about the restaurant but may have been an off day. Would love to comeback and try their signature burger.

Went for dinner while in town with family. Service was good, server was prompt & patience with us. Kids menus were $9.99 (I always judge a place on this, bc sometimes the prices are through the roof). Sushi roll I got wicked something was incredible - big & flavorful! Pork belly app was yummy as well. Mashed potatoes were smooth and so good. Brussels were also really good, caramelized and crunchy. My husband got the trout - that unfortunately was not good. Greasy and just not well prepared. He ate it but it was not yummy. Also -he got 2 gin & clubs both times the club was flat. Strange for a bar. All in all, good experience. read more

So happy I was finally able to check out the Hamilton! Came here on a solo date and had a great experience. When I walked in, I was greeted by the wonderful staff. The time I came in was when they were getting ready for dinner so I promptly sat at the bar. The menu for the Hamilton is extensive and I was presently surprised at all the options I had. I loved that the sushi was half off and vowed to come back to try it. For this visit, I had the pork chop and the crab fried rice. For an appetizer, I had the crab soup. Everything was delicious and came out promptly. The flavoring of the food was amazing and I had leftovers to take home. I will definitely be back! read more

The Hamilton - Live Being a fan of both the Grateful Dead and Steely Dan, I paid $40 for general seated admission to see Steeley Dead, performing at The Hamilton - Live. The music venue is located below the Hamilton, a storied dining experience in the 600 block of 14th Street in D.C. Doors would open at 6:30 p.m. for a performance that would begin, right on time, at 8 p.m. I travel alone, and prefer not to join tables, opting instead to sit where single seats are available. The Hamilton - Live offers both: most of the seating is in groups of 4- or 6-seat benches where groups gather, and there are rows of single seats on a slight rise above the forward seating, offering a great view of the stage and the screens above the stage. I arrived around 7 p.m. Within minutes Marie greeted me with a menu and instructions to post a card on a holder at my place, signaling her to stop by to take my order. The menu was eclectic, with sushi, pizza, tacos, salads, wings, cheeseburger sliders, and nachos. There are robust vegetarian and gluten-free selections, and a fully licensed bar. I placed the card in the holder at my seat and Marie returned to take my order: sushi - shrimp tempura ($14), with a can of Nutrl Pineapple ($8) and a double G&T ($23.18). The crowd was gathering, and the attending wait staff were moving with speed, filling orders. My meal arrived in great shape about 15 minutes after I placed the order. Nicely executed sushi! Sound quality in the venue is great, and the restroom was clean and well lit. And as the catalogues of both the Dead and Steely Dan inspire dancing, the dance floor was filled right from the start. The band's vibe was low key and spontaneous, with lots of smiling on the dance floor. Total with a 22% tip was $79 (which included a white Russian nightcap). Reasonable fare for the DMV. Taxi, Uber, and Lyft are readily available from the venue. read more

I'm visiting from out of town and my local bestie suggested we come here for the last night sushi. It's hard finding good sushi where I am from. For midnight, it wasn't too crowded. We found seats at the back bar. Brian (our bartender) was very attentive and took care of us. I ordered the shrimp tempera roll and my homegirl had the spicy crab roll. The sushi was fresh and fantastic. I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely come back for a late night treat next time I'm in the area read more

Great place for lunch and dinner! I only had a drink there and it was very well done. Caleb held the fort very smoothly while 4000000 people inside. Pleasant, smiling, efficient! The restaurant is massive and has 2 bars and 2 dining areas. The bathrooms are very spacious as well. The restaurant has big windows which allow's plenty of natural light and they are open until 2AM everyday. The lady next to me ordered a turkey club sandwich and it looked AMAZING! read more

Just came in because the place had a nice and needed to get out of the heat. The place was packed but they still got us a table within 5 mins. Took a walk inside and this place is hugeee. Huge shout out to Stephanie, she was awesome. So glad we got sat in her section. She was fast and attentive. Got small bites. Truffle rosemary fries, firecracker roll and spicy crab roll. Everything was delicious and came out fast. I will say the fries are very greasy but that's to be expected when they drench it in truffle oil. Overall, nice place and good food. read more

We had a good time here, but it was just too crowded. We had early reservations to make an evening tour and were hit with the happy hour crowd. Both bars were jam packed which made the restaurant very loud. The food was okay and the service mediocre. We would not come back and felt it was a little overrated. read more

I tried the Hamilton for the first time on a Saturday night around midnight, on the weekend of the US's 250th birthday celebration. Despite this and the crowded bar area, my party of 3 was still seated immediately at a booth in one of the many dining rooms. The atmosphere was both lively at the bar area and calm in the dining areas. Despite how fancy and old-timey the building is, it seems like the vibe is casual. Our attentive waiter informed us that the kitchen closed at 12:30am, so we ordered quickly. I got the: Hamilton burger 4/5 sunny-side up egg, bacon, b&b pickles, tilamook cheddar, dijionaise, house-made brioche bun This tall burger had a thick, juicy patty that paired so well with the egg, bacon, and cheese. I opted to remove the pickles. Considering it was served with fries, this was a reasonably priced meal for a popular destination in the city. BIRD IS THE WORD 4/5 planteray '3 star' rum, smith + cross jamaican rum, daytrip strawberry amaro, demerara, pineapple, lime Sweet, fruity, refreshing cocktail! Nothing to write home about but was indeed a delicious experience. read more

My experience at the Hamilton is always pleasant! The food is great. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service is always good!

This place never misses when it comes to food and service! They are a well-oiled machine. The cocktails taste great, and they also have a Caesar salad that's to die for, the best in the city, in my opinion. They also have a sushi happy hour during the weekdays as well. Only sushi, no happy hour on the drinks. read more

4 1/2 Stars. We ended up here at the bar on a Friday night. I recommend making reservations for a table since this is a sister restaurant of the Old Ebbitt's Grill restaurant chain. The restaurant is massive and is popular for locals and tourist. There is no table service for the high-top tables at the bar, so you need to place your orders at the bar and they'll bring your beverages and entrees to your table. We started off with shrimp tempura and caterpillar rolls, Angus cheeseburger sliders, grilled octopus, ragu Americana and rigatoni. For dessert we indulged in coconut mousse and cherry blossom dessert. All the food was solid, and I was impressed with the rolls and tender octopus, which I could cut with a fork. Our server was on point & friendly, and the interior decor and atmosphere is really upbeat. I recommend the Hamilton, but book your reservations in advance. read more

Ate here on our first day in DC and it really set up an excellent trip for us. Definitely recommend making a reservation, not really a walk-up and walk into the location. The place is huge though! Multiple bars, many crafted cocktails and a nice beer selection. Menu has a little bit of everything for all kinds of tastes, from steaks to sushi and in between. I had the bread and butter, calamari, and then the filet mignon. Everything was fantastic and our server was very friendly ! read more

Literally incredible. The Hamilton is iconic in DC and I can definitely see why. It's a huge and elegant dining space right outside of The White House. We sat the wood paneled bar for some cocktails and bites and I have never felt classier! I started with a fig spritz which was perfectly refreshing. Charcuterie was such a good choice. They have a variety of a la carte meats and cheeses. We tried prosciutto and goat and both were so good and came with a variety of cute accompaniments. My sandwich absolutely stole the show. A turkey BLT on the most delicious everything ciabatta roll with pimento cheese spread. Literally all of my favorite things on one sandwich. Perfection! For an incredible brunch in DC this is truly a must. read more

Made brunch reservations and were promptly seated on our time in a very comfortable booth seating. It was pleasant sunny day in DC, and Marcus, our server was quick to welcome us and take down our order. Booth setup was fantastic, noise levels on the lower end, and sunny! Our order included Cream of Crab Soup ($10.99), Zucchini & Basil Frittata ($19.99), Shrimp & Gritts ($24.99), Kids Pizza, and a side of Truffle-Rosemary Fries ($9.99). Food was in-line with expectations and the Frittata was excellent and based on Marcus' recommendation. The Truffle Fries were fresh and tasty too! Food arrives within 15-mins of placing the order and we felt the menu was priced well. Overall, we had an excellent experience and were glad we chose this place for brunch on our final day in DC! Will visit again and will recommend to friends and family for its excellent food and service, and a great location! read more

Been here forever, seems to be always open and has literally everything. A million bars, seats, food choices and even live music downstairs. Reservations still a good idea.

This was always my go to when I lived in DC and where I would send friends visiting. Sadly it isn't as good anymore. They used to bring complimentary bread with a delicious salty butter but they now charge $9 for that. They used to have a great happy hour for drinks and bites but now they only offer $5 off select sushi rolls during HH. The selection is kind of blah now, there wasn't much that stood out for me to order. The kids meals were also mediocre, especially the pizza. read more

It was my first time at the Hamilton. I came with a big group of 9 celebrating a birthday. They took us to a table at the corner of the restaurant that felt super private and cozy. The restaurant is huge and so many different areas and tables and also a huge bar area. Our service was great, we had many waiters attending us and brought our drinks and food out really fast and took plates in between as well. Everyone loved their meals, their menu has a wide selection and variety of food. I got the shrimp tempura bento and left my plate clean because of how good it was. The only thing I wish they had was a bigger selection of cocktails. I tried two drinks, birds the word and a spritz cocktail and they were just too sour for me but if you like sour maybe you would like them! read more

Sushi happy hour after 10 pm! $5 off rolls. They had a huge sushi/nigir selection, it took one page out of the two page menu. I ordered the spicy crab shrimp tempura roll and the spicy tuna/salmon roll (sorry I don't remember the names). The shrimp tempura one wasn't it, the shrimp tempura was skinny. The spicy tuna/salmon roll was good. I also had a lemon drop martini and it was waaaay too sweet. My fiancée had the fried chicken sandwich and fries, it was wonderful he says. They had a variety of different cocktails, beers, and wines. I was particularly impressed with the Asian beers and Japanese whiskey, you don't find that too often. I really liked the inside, a lot of mahogany wood panels. Old fashion boujie, with a lot of bird art. Service was slow because there was a very large party seated in my section. But to be fair, our waitress tried to be attentive. Once we got our order in though, the food came out pretty quickly. This place is great for romantic dates to huuuge parties of ppl. It's also a music venue, but didn't see that side. They have different musicians/bands playing Friday's and Sunday's. read more

I was wowed by this place on my last night in D.C. People in my group who were also staying at the nearby JW Marriott kept raving about this place, so I opted to check it out for dinner and drinks. The food was phenomenal, fresh, and I had one of the best Cesar salads I have ever tasted. You could tell the dressing was just prepared and the freshness of the greens were on point. The jumbo lump crabcake was worth the price for a splurge and sitting at the bar was a treat watching Dan, one of the expert bar tenders, work his craft. I had a sparkling Rose' and a French Martinis, expertly crafted and shaken to perfection. The volume and vibe of the afterwork D.C. crowd was kind of refreshing after a long day on foot at the Capitol. I will surely return, next time I am in the area, as the menu is extensive and inviting. read more

Beautiful restaurant with classic high ceiling, lovely wood paneling and bird statues decor spread throughout. There's live music downstairs also. Service was fast and friendly. Crab soup was delicious with nice dollop of crab meat. Crab cake was delicious and had meaty chunks of crab. I ordered a single ccake side. Rigatoni with meat balls and short rib was very good but a bit salty for me. I would have preferred tagliatelle or wide long pasta to balance the heavier sauce. Great food and I'm adding it to my fave DC list read more

I ordered the Hamilton Caesar salad with steak and it was one of the best Caesar salads I ever had. The cocktail special made with Hakuto Japanese gin was really good and I anticipated it would land on the sweeter side so I ordered a pot of earl Gray tea to balance it out. I ordered the sashimi Hamilton Platter selection; this being the first time I ordered late night sushi in a setting more reminiscent of a dimly lit steak house so I had to look a bit closer at the sashimi to see the quality but it was really great. I found this great late night dining destination through Yelp. One thing I would change (if I could) would be to have the restaurant ask the squad or patrol car outside that had its blue and red lights flashing the entire time illuminating the entire dining hall for the duration of my entire meal to possibly park thirty feet away. It was clear that in DC every .75 miles at night there's a patrol car posted to just keep watch. There was no reason for the flashing to be the first and foremost thing I remember about this restaurant. The squad car can move 35 feet and not have this room feel like it's in an actor crime scene. read more

Stopped by for lunch last week, and despite the heavy presence of Secret Service agents, we were seated right away. It was my third visit, and it didn't disappoint. I ordered the Grilled Steak Salad, while my colleagues had the Hamilton Caesar with Salmon and the Blackberry & Avocado Salad. They both enjoyed their meals, but I have to say mine was the winner! The steak was cooked perfectly medium--juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. My only complaint was that the salad was a bit too "wet" for my liking. Other than that, the food was delicious, the prices were reasonable, and the overall experience was great. Our server was also attentive throughout the meal. She wasn't overly chatty, but she checked on us regularly and kept our water glasses filled, which I always appreciate. read more

Visited the Hamilton on a Saturday night for dinner and they were great. Our server was very kind and the food was delicious. The bread and butter service is amazing it's something about the focaccia bread that just hits the spot. The halibut was delicious too. I ordered the crab fried rice as my side and I wish there was some more crab in it and don't remember the menu saying it was spicy but I liked the little kick. read more

I came here because it happened to be one of few spots in the area still open. I was really excited to try the late night happy hour sushi but unfortunately did not love either roll we ordered. The King Toro which has fatty tuna shogun have been so tender and high quality but unfortunately the tuna itself was tough to chew through. The way they added sauce and jalapeño on the top of the roll was odd. The Crunchy tuna roll was the better of the two. Had a spicy crunch to the top and shrimp inside. The restaurant itself is a pretty set up, and has two bars to sit at as well as a downstairs area for events like live music or World Cup viewing. read more
