Wings were good. Crabcakes not what I’d expect for the price or for the DMV area. Brought out 2 Miller lites for the table that were clearly two different beers (different colors and taste). Still it was a nice sports bar / place to watch the game, and food / experience was good- but not great.

The overall experience of the Hamilton was amazing. Several of our party have food allergies and they accommodated all of us. The food was amazing. Alexandra our server was the best server we encountered all week in DC and the Hamilton is our favorite restaurant. The standouts were the “boots with the fur” cocktail, sweet potato hummus, all out entrees, and the bread pudding and apple galette. Highly recommend!

Another excellent meal at Augie's with friends. The onion soup was great, and, as always, the mussels are excellent.

Our server Luis made a casual Saturday meal into a special occasion. With his knowledge of the kitchen operation, he was able to pace the courses perfectly without our even asking him. Key feature of his great service (and of all high level servers): he listened to us and delivered accordingly. Oh, and the pizza is very tasty too!

Haven’t been to Evening Star in a few years but was happy to experience the same charming service and tasty food. I had the cavitelli pasta which was amazing. My friends all had the meatloaf which they raved about. Great dinner and will not wait so long to return for another dinner.
