The Hamilton

Service was slow

The staff was customer friendly nothing over and above. The food was great.

Service food and ambiance all excellent

We had a fantastic meal at the Hamilton! Great menu and it is hard to decide. The prices are very reasonable for the great food that they serve. We loved dessert. The coffee press decaf coffee was fantastic!

Such a great restaurant! Reasonable pricing with incredible food!!

Easter Sunday Brunch

With a huge caveat... this is not necessarily the place you go for a standout brunch - except for the service, which was excellent- but it’ll do.

We went for Easter Brunch and everything was fantastic! The service was exceptional and the food outstanding!

Excellent as usual!!!
Great drinks...Great Food...service was great...no complaints here

Food is very mediocre.

Food and service were spectacular. I was with a party of 5 and we were seated in a private room. The food was delicious, and the service was prompt and incredibly welcoming.

I was disappointed that my crab cake and fries came out cold and my side was forgotten all together.

Friendly and courteous staff made us feel at home.
Loved the food and our server was magnificent.

The Hamilton was awesome, from the actual restaurant itself to the excellent food and prompt & attentive service. I'd go back in a heartbeat to try some more of their offerings.

Get at least one crab cake. Amazing food and service for very reasonable price considering the level of quality.

When we arrived, I check in with the hostess. She said it would be a few minutes while she checked for our table. We stepped to the side to let others check in. 20 mins passed (I heard people check in that had reservations and some that did not- who were seated before us, but I continued to wait) finally she looked at me and said, what was the name again and how many? It was my daughters 17th birthday and we had show tickets to Fords Theater- so we ended up being a bit rushed at the end. Our server did bring out a goo cake for her. The food was good, the wine was overpriced. I looked up the bottle we ordered and it costs around $24 - the restaurant charged $60... I would think $44-50 would have been more reasonable upcharge.

Food was good. Server was non attentive and never asked how meal was. Seemed pretty occupied with larger groups.

Based on the reviews we’d read, we expected food that was better prepared. The Cesar salad was tasteless, the tempura shrimp was heavy and greasy. The menu was limited and the food was not prepared well. Our waitress, however, was delightful!

I've been here once before and very much enjoyed my pre-theatre entree and cocktail. On this visit I was underwhelmed with the food (3 sushi rolls during 1/2 price 3p-6p special) which was good, but nothing special, and my martini, while pretty good, only filled half the glass. I think it's ridiculous to pay $13.50 for basically a shot, and the waiter didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Additionally, we made a reservation and still waited 10mins to be seated.

Used to view The Hamilton as a backup if I couldn’t get a reservation at The Old Ebbitt. But it’s now become a destination restaurant all its own. Great food, drinks, service. Held a booth for me on a crowded evening; would go back just out of gratitude for that.

Food was amazing and the service was exceptional!

Highly recommended to anyone in DC!

I liked the room very much, the server was great, and the food was very good. They were a bit slow on the drink service. But all and all a very nice place.

Thank John Grace for always making me and my friend feel welcome

The whole process from reservation to dessert was smooth and easy. Our server Max, was a pleasure. I will come to the Hamilton again, and will not hesitate to relate our experience to our friends.

Filet over cooked;2nd time brought out medium rare steak vs. med well. Service was slow and inattentive. Manager did nothing to make up for poor experience.

Had a group of 8 with 4 kids and they put us in a corner room with round table that was perfect.

Excellent food , big selection of diferents cain of fooo

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience! Would definitely recommend this place!

Great restaurant!!! Shrimp and grits were the best dish.

Excellent!! Go and enjoy!!
We went for brunch and it was delicious.

Beautiful decor, great location, and attentive staff. There were a few bright spots on the brunch menu (ricotta donuts and pecan sticky buns) and serviceable standard fare.

As always the Hamilton never disappoints!

We went here after our elopement and had a lovely dinner!

Amazing waiter and good food, but horribly overpriced cocktails.

Food was good but probably the worst service I have had in DC. I think the server would have rather been anywhere than where she was. Ruined our first experience dining here. We will not go back

Our waiter was fantastic! Fun yet respectful. The sushi was amazing as was my salmon. The portions are generous.

The only complaint, it was LOUD!!

The Hamilton never disappoints! I met up with a colleague for dinner and the food was amazing. We had no trouble making a reservation via Open Table and were ushered right to our seats upon arriving. The service was spot on and our server was attentive without being pushy. She allowed us to enjoy our meal and take the time needed to catch up over sushi and a market greens salad. I just wish I knew what went into the salad dressing... it was delicious! I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the downtown DC area.

The restaurant was nice, it was a bit noisy. The food was good, not extraordinary. The drinks were weak. I thought the hummus was very bland. The rest of my group also thought the food was good. It was my 2nd visit, nothing outstanding to make me want to return.

It was fine. Service was a little slow and inattentive, but it was a busy day for the restaurant. Two of the four orders were wrong. The size of the steak for the $27 steak and eggs was smaller than I would have preferred. The blackened catfish sandwhich was good. Pity the lunch menu was not available on a Saturday afternoon, would have preferred that (which I'd seen online) to the brunch menu.

Loved having brunch on Saturday at The Hamilton. We arrived about 15 minutes early for our reservation but were seated right away. The atmosphere was very nice, much fancier than I expected, nice table and chairs, rich wood paneling on the walls, etc. For some reason I was expecting a glorified diner but the Hamilton is much nicer. The drinks and food were amazing. I highly recommend the cheese board as a starter. This was our first time eating at the Hamilton but I know we'll be sure to return.
