    2nd time in as many months, saved room for deserts this time, but lacked. Things that could be better softer doughnuts, softer cookies, softer bread pudding. Was that supposed to be cream cheese frosting on the carrot cake? French toast bland and dry, wish we had waffles, I love this place, these would be things I would tweak.

    We live in Los Angeles, CA and it's our first time in DC. We had Thanksgiving Day dinner at The Hamilton and it was perfect. Our waitress, Ash, was patient and attentive. Food serving portions were generous and tasty. The ambience and decor is modern yet classic, simply wonderful.

    Great friendly service but oftentimes slow due to lack of staffing on a Tuesday night. Good location for family and kids. Our chef was very interactive with the children at our table. The portion size of food was very generous. Everyone at the table had to box up the leftovers. We knew dessert came with our meal but our server just brought our check instead of asking us what we wanted to eat. So I asked her, "doesn't our meal come with a dessert?" She responded that yes but they don't ask the customers. The customers have to ask for the dessert. She said it is because the restaurant serves such a large portion of food that people do not finish their meal and the dessert. They didn't want to waste the dessert. I was really looking forward to the green tea ice cream but they were out of it. I had the vanilla ice cream which was probably some generic version that they got in bulk because it was pretty tasteless. Other notes: * Noise level was pretty loud. * Temperature in the restaurant was extremely warm. * Validated parking was convenient in private lot. * 18% gratuity is automatically added.
