Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in Logan Circle

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.

Unfortunately, if you're reading this it's too late to indulge in a delicious Thanksgiving dinner. This is the second time in 65 years I've eaten Thanksgiving dinner in a restaurant and am I glad we ate here. I started with the beet and burrata salad, my husband had the gumbo. Both were fresh, generous portions with well balanced flavors. We both had the traditional dinner, other options were available. Turkey was moist and tender, mashed and sweet potatoes were perfect, as was everything else on the plate. And there was a lot!! I am not a fan of port wine anything and they were able to serve us whole cranberry sauce (minus the port). For dessert my husband had the apple crumble, served warm, with cinnamon ice cream. He was just going to taste it and finish it at home but once he started eating it, he had to eat it all. I had pumpkin pie, literally. A small pumpkin pie, with perfect filling in a buttery, crisp shell and whipped cream worth eating. And let me add, the service was every bit as good as the meal. Annie was professional and pleasant. Eat here, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Excellent experience. Adrianna was outstanding and very attentive.

We had such a delightful experience at Estuary! We were in DC for business/vacation and wanted to try somewhere special and romantic. We were seated near the corner so had views out both windows of the pretty Christmas lights and the beautiful water feature below. The service was incredible--Lauren took such good care of us! The food was fantastic and it all tasted very fresh. We had the crab cakes and I may be spoiled forever because these were simply outstanding--lots of whole, sweet crab chunks and little if any filler. Loved the green sauce and the tiny veggies it was served with! I had the mushroom risotto and husband had the NY strip steak. Both were delicious. All of the dishes were plated artfully, which enhanced the experience. For dessert we had the chocolate bar which is like a layered mousse and was sweet and decadent while still being light. One thing we noticed--because the kitchen is open, we could see food coming out that wasn't on our menu (burgers and other sandwiches and fries, and I think a large slice of chocolate cake?) Those are for the adjoining lounge menu but I wonder if diners could order those as well? We would absolutely return to Estuary to dine again. Everything about it felt special! Kudos to the chef and all other staff members for such a job well done!

Great and amazing experience. I enjoy every dish and the environment was amazing.
