Excellent food - Hamilton burger, fried chicken sandwich, toro roll, and whole branzino fish with crab fried rice. Everything was tasty (except for the side Caesar salad - soggy with too much dressing). Would come here again. read more

This is just your average American restaurant. I've been to their sister restaurants like Clyde's and Old Ebbiets. I prefer those over the Hamilton personally because the service is better. The restaurant itself is very pretty, bright, spacious, white table clothes and on the chiller side. Some folks kept their winter coats on. We started with the calamari which was a huge portion and perfectly cooked. The wedge salad was perfect for two to split but it needed more blue cheese dressing. The burger and fries was juicy and perfectly cooked. Fries were served hot. Steak was perfectly cooked. Mac and cheese was more of pasta and Alfredo than true cheesy mac and cheese. I'd skip it. Overall it's a solid B+ American restaurant. We will be back to the other sister restaurants for happy hour. read more

The Hamilton did the job. Came here during late night happy hour after a long travel day, we were pleased. We had a few cocktails, sushi rolls which were on the happy hour menu, and a crab cake sandwich. The restaurant gives that old school charm with a nice feel. Will definitely keep this in the rotation. read more

My wife and I went to the Hamilton on a Saturday afternoon and were able to get a table without any reservations. From the moment we got seated at our table, to the time we left, the service was exceptional. Our waiter was super attentive and constantly checked in on us. One of the managers even checked in on us a few times just to make sure everything was going well and that we didn't need anything. A+ goes to them for customer service for sure! We ordered off of the brunch menu as the restaurant was still doing brunch until about 4pm I believe. We started off with the District Wings which were excellent! The mumbo sauce that came with it wasn't bad either, much better than most mumbo sauces I have tried, outside of carryouts of course. My wife then ordered the Crispy Shrimp Salad and I ordered the Bone-In Cowboy Ribeye with a side of Truffle Fries. My wife absolutely loved her salad and the shrimp she had were huge. There were a lot of pieces of shrimp that came with the salad. The shrimp were nice and crispy as well. My steak was cooked to perfection, however it wasn't very seasoned at all. I didn't taste any salt, pepper, or any type of seasoning whatsoever on the steak. Even when I poured salt on the steak myself, I still couldn't really taste it, so maybe it was the type of salt. Im not really sure, but if it was seasoned well, the steak would've been great. My truffle fries were also a little disappointing as they really didn't taste like truffle fries at all. There was barely any cheese on the fries and I really didn't taste the truffle oil on there either. I would definitely come back here again. The service was a 10 out of 10. I would just order something different next time. My food wasn't bad necessarily, it just wasn't what I was anticipating. Overall this was still a good experience. read more

After a long day of work, I stopped by The Hamilton to grab a bite to eat and relax while having a casual FaceTime conversation with my sisters. I was halfway through my meal when the manager approached me and told me that my conversation was too loud and that company policy prohibited being on the phone. However, I was not speaking loudly, and the dining area itself was already quite loud. The interaction ultimately made me feel as though I needed to leave, so I did. I'm not going to automatically say I was profiled, but the way the situation was handled left me questioning what was really going on. If there is a policy regarding phone use, I believe it should be communicated respectfully and applied consistently to everyone. I came in to enjoy a meal, not to feel uncomfortable or unwelcome. The experience left a bad taste in my mouth, and unfortunately, I won't be returning. Customer service matters, and so does how you make people feel when they walk through your doors. read more

The ambiance, service, and food were all great. The place was jumping at 5pm on a Wednesday. Looks like a happy hour haunt for local workers. From the warm welcome upon arriving, to the short 2-3 minute wait for our 5PM reservation, to the quick seating by our server, we had a great time. Our server Santi(ago) was attentive, helpful, available and friendly. My group was there for a quick dinner before a show at The Warner Theater. The entire Hamilton's team was committed to getting us served and out on time. We had the steak frittes, salmon, crab soup, calamari and delightful dessert. All were served hot and tasty. The salmon was a little bland, but they brought out a sauce that added a bang to it. Anyway, all in all Hamilton is tops! Go! read more

Wow! Top 5 places for the most delicious food! With such a large the selection, we were not sure what we should try. However, we asked our very knowledgeable server, Danieli and she pointed us in the right direction. We started off with the appetizer of the tuna poke. Followed by the pork chop and the Ragu Americano and rigatoni. To say it was delicious seems to be an understatement. I was tempted to re-create the When Harry Met Sally scene after our first bites. We have officially put the Hamilton on our DC map and will be back for sure to eat here next time we are in town. read more

The Hamilton in Washington DC is one of my new favorite spots when I'm in town. The vibe is great, the service is outstanding, and the food is excellent. I re injured my hip and had to use a scooter to get around and they accommodated my situation like rockstars. My bartender Alondra was fantastic--super friendly and attentive. Set me up with a manager to get me downstairs via elevator. If you like an Old Fashioned, try The Pair of Aces--you'll love it! The staff downstairs during the game was fantastic, handling the lively crowd with ease. The pizza was great with a perfect crispy crust, and the sushi was fantastic--fresh and full of flavor. Highly recommend The Hamilton. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

The sheer size of this restaurant is overwhelming. Despite the size, the restaurant carries it off with both excellent service and food. The decor is upscale and very DC - you feel like you are part of the political inteligencia. My salmon was perfectly seasoned on a bed of summer asparagus. The food came out reasonably quickly in this busy restaurant. You are just a few blocks from the White House so it is good for tourists who want an upscale meal. read more

The Hamilton is a staple in DC. I mostly come here for the sushi happy hour that runs daily from 2-5pm (and also from 10pm Sun-Thursday and from 11pm on Friday and Saturday). All rolls are $5 off which brings them down to very decent price. My favorite rolls: Fire Dragon, Cherry Blossom Roll, and if you liked cooked rolls- Fire Cracker. I recently tried a new roll and it is definitely one of my new favorites, the Baked Lobster Roll is absolutely delicious! It can get quite busy but there's usually space at one of the two bars. Outside of the sushi, other items I have enjoyed- district wings (w/ mumbo sauce) and the cream of crab soup. Also for an entree suggestion, the Six Spiced Branzino is quite delicious and comes with a roasted pepper chimichurri which is amazing. You can also never go wrong with the brussel sprouts from here. read more

After attending an event on 14th Street, we chose The Hamilton simply because it was the nearest spot open late and we were pleasantly surprised. Even after midnight, the place was still lively. We were seated immediately and guided through several beautifully designed rooms before settling into a two-top in the back of the restaurant. I love the paintings, and overall décor. Our server came by to let us know it was last call and offered some recommendations. We ordered the mambo wings, mac & cheese, and sushi roll. Everything was good and perfect for late-night dining. To drink, I had a Hugo spritz and my girlfriend ordered Prosecco. Overall, it was an enjoyable dining experience with good vibes, good food, and company. Definitely a solid choice when you're out late in DC. ( excuse the eaten wing, almost forgot to take a photo) read more

When you have to stop at a restaurant twice in one night, you know it's good. On a recent trip to DC my friend suggested the Hamilton for a quick bite to eat before heading to a holiday party. The business was just coming back up from losing power so we were able to walk straight in an take a seat at the bar with no wait. The Hamilton reminds you of an old school restaurant with a historic vibe. Adding a little pizzaz to your dining experience. And the place is huge. There was so much on the menu we wanted to try but we settled on splitting a burger and truffle fries and an order of calamari. Our waitress was amazing, paying attention to how we ordered our food and made sure to have our burger cut in half and served on separate plates with an order of fries for us both. This was all without us even asking. The burger and truffle fries were DELICIOUS. Part of the reason why we went back to the Hamilton later that night. And the calamari was some of the best I've had. Tender and not rubbery, fried along with these sweet and briny peppers. This is the type of calamari you dream of. Feeling hungry after attending our holiday party we went back to the Hamilton for round two. At this time the Hamilton was much more crowded but we still managed to grab two stools at the bar. I settled on just a side order of the crab fried rice. And although pretty plain looking when served, this rice with chunks of crab meat throughout, was so flavorful and not heavy or greasy like most fried rice. I thoroughly enjoyed my visits to the Hamilton and we're actually planning on going back soon to try their brunch. It was well worth the two trips in one night. read more

I am so shocked I've never written a review about this restaurant! When i lived in the dc area, i LOVEEDDDD coming here. They have happy hour, as well as a late night menu. It is a great size as there is about 3-4 different sections of the restaurant. This restaurant has so many different menu options, there is something for everyone. I always enjoy the wings with mambo sauce, Brussels, and firecracker rolls. The portions are well and i have never had a bad experience with my waiter/waitress. The ambiance of the restaurant is very dim, with good size tables. If you end up with a booth, there are hooks to hang up your jacket and/or purse. There are also some booths where you can close the door on for privacy. Whenever I'm in or near dc please know i am always going to the Hamilton or their sister restaurant, old ebbit grill. read more

The Hamilton was a good place to have a quick late lunch, and we were able to get in without a reservation (other places nearby were packed with an hour wait time). The service was very nice, and the ambiance was classic. They do have cool booths with lots of privacy. The food was a bit of a disappointing. Everything was very average, and not worth a price tag. Tons of other places nearby but, of course, you would need to plan ahead and make a reservation if you have something particular in mind. read more

I recently dined at The Hamilton with my sister, and it was a delightful experience! Located conveniently near the White House, this restaurant boasts a diverse menu that caters to a variety of tastes. While The Hamilton is known for its crab cakes, I opted for the district wings, which were absolutely delicious. They came with an incredible mumbo sauce that had just the right balance of flavor and crispness. My sister did indulge in the crab cakes as well as the Italian Wedding soup, and she was quite pleased with her choices as well. I also tried the crispy shrimp salad, which was fantastic. The flavors were vibrant, and while I couldn't finish the whole thing, I took it back to my hotel room. Even as leftovers, it was a treat I couldn't wait to dive into! The wine selection was excellent, and I enjoyed two glasses that complemented our meals beautifully. The service was attentive and friendly, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend The Hamilton for lunch or dinner. The combination of great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and top-notch service makes it a must-visit spot in DC. I believe it's associated with another restaurant nearby, which adds to its charm. Th only reason I didn't give a five is because the host sat a group before us even though he said we were next. He seemed biased . . . I didn't like that. read more

The Hamilton in Washington, D.C., is a bloody solid spot opened in late 2011 by the Clyde's Restaurant Group in the historic Hamilton Square building, originally built in 1929 as the flagship Garfinckel's department store. They gutted and transformed the grand old space into this massive 37,000-square-foot beast: restaurant upstairs, live music venue downstairs, open nearly 24/7 (except Christmas), just steps from the White House. It's got that classic DC polish with dark wood, leather booths, and Audubon prints everywhere feels like a proper gathering place for movers, shakers, and anyone who fancies a bite after hours. Listen, the burgers here are outstanding juicy, properly seasoned, that Hamilton Burger with the sunny-side egg, bacon, pickles, and garlic aioli on a sesame brioche is a proper knockout, worth every penny. The setting's sharp, service is on point, and the vibe's electric without being pretentious. If you're hunting for a reliable, highly recommended spot in the heart of town great food, live tunes, no nonsense get yourself to The Hamilton. It's a winner, full stop. I'd send anyone there with confidence. read more

Came in on a Monday at 4pm, the bars area were popping. My kids chose this restaurant because its called Hamilton, aka Alexander Hamilton. We were seated right away. The sushi is legit here , Japanese rice, good quality sashimi, even better, 2-5pm is 5$ off sushi rolls. Cheeseburgers was so juicy, cooked to medium rare, as asked. I have to say, this restaurant food is good. Our Waiter was so attentive and the restaurant is very nice, high ends looking. So many seatings , bars or booths, give a very nice vibe.

Good food, good service, cute restaurant! If you looking for what to order I definitely recommend the crab soup. For me that was the star of the show. It was so buttery and delicious with chunks of crab in the soup. YUM!! We also ordered a the tuna crunch roll, mussels, and Caesar salad. While they were also good nothing to write home about. I lacked a bit of flavor with the mussels and the sushi looked a bit sad I would say. I also ordered a Bloody Mary which was a bit underwhelming. Our waiter was really kind and attentive which was appreciated. I would come back and try some other dishes, maybe some with crab. read more

We made a reservation for dinner and was sat right away. I was surprised at how large this restaurant was with multiple halls. Starting off with the classic bread and butter was delicious. We ordered some meatballs and sushi as appetizer, and I got the bone in ribeye which was absolutely divine. The dessert was amazing and the espresso martinis were so good we had to get 3 rounds. The service was really good, not only from our server but other workers that came by. I loved the ambience of the place with an elegant restaurant feel.

The service was good. The atmosphere was cool. The crab roll was amazing. We went on a rainy day after sightseeing, it didn't disappoint.

The Hamilton has become a complete shitshow. Easily one of the worst experiences I've had at a supposedly reputable DC venue. The crowd and atmosphere were so out of control that I nearly ended up in a physical confrontation with another patron. Meanwhile, people were casually rolling joints at the bar like it was completely normal. The bartenders seemed like they could not care less about what was happening around them, and the security was basically useless. What exactly is security there for if they can't maintain order or step in before situations escalate? The entire place felt chaotic, poorly managed, and completely lacking in standards. For a venue that hosts concerts, private events, and large crowds, that is unacceptable. I genuinely would think twice before booking an event here or recommending this place to anyone. There are way too many good restaurants, bars, and venues in DC to waste your money somewhere that operates like this. Management needs to seriously get its act together. Until then, avoid this place. read more

Perfection from beginning to end. So glad I made a reservation as it was crowded for early dinner. This restaurant is absolutely an old classic beauty mixed with modern outdoor decor. I couldn't believe how large the restaurant was as it has two large separate dining areas and a bar area with a bonus basement with live music! Service was excellent, food was incredibly fresh and delicious and my favorite was the corn and crab soup ! I could've eaten this in a super large bowl lol. Extensive wine list and cocktail menu, wonderful dessert and for those traveling with kids, they do have a kids menu that was full of great dishes for the littles. Dress code is casually chic or business casual. My cousin is a new chef in DC and wanted to try and I'm glad we had the chance to enjoy a great meal and conversation. I will definitely be coming back with my family . Chefs kiss ! read more

We had reservations, and I have to say, parking being that easy in DC was a pleasant surprise. There's a garage right next door, which made the whole experience start off stress-free. Walking in, the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. It really gives you that "old DC" feel with the architecture and decor. Very classic, a little upscale, but still welcoming. It's definitely a place that sets the tone for a nice evening out. Now the menu... when I say it has a little bit of everything, I mean that. It actually made it hard to decide because there were so many good options. I ended up going with the rainbow trout with fried capers and a side of whipped potatoes, and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious. Well-seasoned, flavorful, and just overall satisfying. The only downside for me was the service toward the end. As we were literally in the middle of boxing up our food, they started clearing the table. I'm talking I reached for my bread and the plate was already gone. That felt a little rushed and honestly kind of strange. I've been to more casual (and cheaper) spots that don't do that. Other than that moment, I really enjoyed the experience. The ambiance, the food, and the overall vibe make it a place I would definitely recommend, just maybe keep an eye on your plate if you're not done yet. read more

Biscuits, boozy shakes, and great service--The Hamilton hits the spot. The biscuits are why I keep coming back. They're served with a seasonal jam that's always amazing--bright, flavorful, and just the right touch of sweetness. It's one of those small details that makes the meal feel special. I still miss the birthday cake boozy shake they used to have on the menu. It was absolutely delicious--rich, festive, and fun. I love that they serve their milkshakes with oversized straws, which somehow makes the whole experience feel more indulgent. Service was excellent. Myles was a wonderful server--attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Whether you're stopping in for brunch, drinks, or just those unforgettable biscuits, The Hamilton delivers a cozy, satisfying experience with a touch of flair. read more

Excellent food, phenomenal drinks, and perfect location! If you are staying at the JW Marriott or visiting the nearby museums, The Hamilton is a must-visit. Having lived in DC previously, this was always a favorite spot of mine, and it still holds up perfectly. The food was high quality, the drinks were stellar, and the value is spot on for the experience. Our initial post-travel meal was so good that we returned the very next day for drinks at the bar. It would have been a flawless two days if they still had the St. Louis Gooey Cake on the menu, but it is still a highly recommended staple. read more

What a beautiful restaurant and atmosphere. I'd say the dress code was upscale. Everyone in here looked as if they just came from the opera. Haha! It was very busy and the waitress was still able to give us great service. She was conversational and offered menu and drink suggestions. The food came out in a timely manner and it was delicious! Steaks were cooked as ordered and did not lack flavor. The salad was fresh and crispy. I wasn't expecting the fish to come out whole, so that was shocking. But I'm glad i still gave it a try. It was so buttery and flakey. Next time we're in DC we will definitely come back here. read more

This place is massive! The restaurant sprawls across 3 different rooms plus a bar upstairs and a performance stage downstairs. I came for dinner solo on a Friday night. Service was a pinch slow but my server was really nice, it was just wildly busy! The crab cake was amazing but $28 for one order felt steep! The wings with the mambo sauce were just ok.. The sauce was the best part. The mixed greens salad with steak added was just ok too. The steak was cold and tough. Overall, 3.5/5 for decent service and that yummy crab cake. Unfortunately, the entire meal felt over priced. read more

I really wish the Hamilton were better. It has so many aspects of what I want, it is open late at night, it has sushi and an extensive menu of many things that I enjoy, and it has quite the cocktail list. Overall, the service of Hamilton, he is really quite good, everyone wants to help you, everyone does a pretty good job, but they seem overwhelmed. The entirety of the Hamilton is actually quite overwhelming, if you don't go during happy hour times the prices seem too high. If you go late at night, there's a bunch of people there that just do not make for the best vibe. I will probably continue to come back to the Hamilton because if you need sushi at midnight. This is a great place to do it, especially if you want to Manhattan or other cocktails go with it. However, this is not the place that I want to go on a date or with my team at work. This is a place that will never be seen as excellent because it is nothing more than mediocre, consistently every time. Come after 10 PM, eat yourself some sushi, and have a nice cocktail. You won't feel good about yourself, but you also won't feel bad about yourself. read more

Our server made sure that our diet cokes stayed full and gave us great service for how busy it was. Big fan of that. As for the food, the paprika ketchup on the sliders was a sleeper hit, and the truffle fries actually had a lot flavor and the perfect amount of crunch. As for my salad, I loved it, the flavors all complimented each other very well, but I can't say I wish it hadn't been more substantial. Next time, I'll add some protein or something.
