The Hamilton | A Hidden Gem Near the White House

📍 Prime Location Just a 2-minute walk from Old Ebbitt Grill, this is your savior when the presidential dining hall is packed! The standalone building boasts 37,000 sq ft of expansive space across three floors, featuring distinct dining areas and a live music stage. 🍽 Must-Try Dishes 1. Crisfield Stew (Seafood Chowder) ($34.99) Tomato-based broth enhances the sweetness of jumbo shrimp, mussels, and fish The garlic bread is perfect for dipping (psst... even better than the presidential dining hall's bread basket) 2. Lamb Pappardelle ($25.99) 8-hour slow-braised lamb shoulder with mysterious North African spices The pasta is admittedly the weak point - better to swap for their house-made thin noodles ✨ Premium Experience • Attentive servers will proactively split dishes for sharing • Live jazz performances Wednesday through Saturday • Hidden perk: $1 oysters during Happy Hour are fresher than the presidential dining hall's 📸 Photo Spots The grand crystal chandelier by the spiral staircase Second-floor terrace with views of the Treasury Building Antique whiskey collection wall behind the bar #DCFoodGuide #WhiteHouseArea #GreatValueDining
