Restaurants near Hamilton Street Playground

Make reservations. Food was outstanding. Must try their cornbread. Everything we ordered was wonderful. My husband had strip steak and he complemented the chef… also love their desserts. We were so full but ordered and took home. This is third time going in DC and will always go back !

5 star classic old school Italian fine dining restaurant. Nothing is short of excellent. The food, service, management and ambience all 5 stars! As a restaurant owner, myself, It is rare that I am wowed. We do not live in the area but my daughter loves it so much that she’ll plan shopping trips in the greater DC area just so she can go there. They are not a small restaurant but they’re definitely not a large, either. I recommend that you make reservations and you make them way ahead of time. We had an early reservation on a Friday night, 9/13/24. Unfortunately, we were stuck in traffic and delayed for over an hour. I called the restaurant. They were very nice and accommodating and held our reservation despite the fact that they were jampacked. From start to finish all 5 Stars! *The AGM is from Richmond VA. Please see that he sees this review and knows wow appreciative we are.

Fantastic spot in the heart of the city. A lot of historical spirit. The service is immaculate and I was given an opportunity to be the kitchen’s operation when service slowed down briefly. Finish off every meal with a Hot Toddy and I can almost guarantee you’ll feel smoothed and satisfied. I prefer Angel’s Envy but choose your bourbon accordingly. God bless 🙏🏾.

Great restaurant- lamb chops, truffle fries and crab rice AMAZING! Feels like a historic place but lively. Definitely good vibe

Zaytinia impressed on all fronts. The chef's talent shines through in every dish - expect inventive flavor combinations that really work. Each plate was a delightful surprise, showcasing quality ingredients and skillful preparation. The staff struck a perfect balance - attentive and knowledgeable, yet warm and unpretentious. Their familiarity with the menu enhanced our dining experience. The ambiance is equally inviting - elegant without being stuffy. It's the kind of place where you can comfortably linger over a excellent meal and good conversation. Zaytinia offers a top-notch dining experience that's worth seeking out. Whether for a special occasion or a treat-yourself evening, it doesn't disappoint. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to explore more of their menu.
