    Crystal was THE BEST server I've had in a while, which made the experience even better. With my mother-in-law in town, I wanted to take her to a true D.C. dining experience and Hamilton did not disappoint! We will definitely be coming back to try the entire starters menu. Crystal recommended we start with the edamame dumplings, as they were a fav of hers, and I tell ya...Great recommendations, great food, great ambience...highly recommend!

    We found this hidden gem a few months ago and have been impressed each time as to the ambiance, service, and highest level ingredients used for their sushi and appetizers. We had an amazing Al fresco evening last night and tried different sushi and appetizers and nothing disappointed.
