This massive restaurant from the Clyde's group features an eclectic menu and live music in its basement-level concert hall.
Tried the place today. Went in at 2PM for a quick bite and a drink. Ordered the Mussels and a beer. Good beer selection, but the the convince shop down my block has about the same selection. I was one of three customers and 8-10 staff in the front bar area. Service was OK, but you'd think that with that few customers the staff could pay more attention. The mussels were at best OK. First time I have have ever had them too salty?? Almost tasted like they used a caned stock. No bread was served,, but then with the stock that salty who would want to eat it all. The fries were just fries, certainly not crispy. Willing to overlook some things as the place is relatively new, but having the stock wrong, that's a bigger problem.
I've been here three times, upstairs for brunch and dinner, and downstairs to see Mavis Staples. Had fine pancakes for brunch, and a gorgeous dinner with charcuterie for an appetizer (something I always eat in Italy but have never found on an American menu... fantastic) and an enticing plate of sweet Nantucket Bay scallops. Best thing though: CINNAMON BUN BREAD PUDDING!!! Downstairs music venue is cozy, and intimate enough that you are never far from the stage. Great show & sound. Some good New Orleans brass bands and I can't wait to go back. Downtown has needed a spot like this forever and The Hamilton already feels like a D.C. institution.
