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.

From beginning to end, the service was impeccable. From the greeter to the server, bartender to the manager, all were friendly, knowledgeable, and all clearly have a passion for their work. China Chilcano has a lively, vibrant ambience. The food is among the best and most unique in all of DC. And the pisco drinks are inventive, fun, and delicious.
