Best Steak Restaurants in Dupont Circle

Making a booking was key as we were there just before a Capital's home game. Even with the restaurant full of jerseys, our server was wonderful, repeating things and checking in with each end of our long table, and making sure drink orders were filled promptly. Dinner and dessert were tasty, and splitting the checks at the end of the night was a breeze. Great spot to gather in DC.

I recently celebrated my girlfriend’s birthday at Mastro’s, and it was an unforgettable experience thanks to the amazing staff and our incredible waiter, Rice. From the moment we arrived, the team greeted us warmly, with many wishing my girlfriend a happy birthday, which set a festive and welcoming tone. Rice’s service was truly exceptional. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and made thoughtful recommendations that elevated our dining experience. Every detail, from the timing of the courses to ensuring our glasses were never empty, was handled with care and precision. What stood out even more was the personal touch the entire team brought to the birthday celebration. The beautifully presented dessert and the genuine enthusiasm from the staff made my girlfriend feel so special. Rice’s professionalism made the evening perfect. Mastro’s went above and beyond to create a memorable night for us. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend asking for Rice if you want an exceptional dining experience.

Great meal and great service. Really enjoyed the atmosphere. We’d definitely go back.

Our waiter, I think his name was Tazz (?), he was AMAZING.

My experience at Ruth Chris was absolutely amazing. After we got seated, it took almost 45 minutes to put our order in due to how busy it was at the time. We were celebrating our birthdays so we became a bit frustrated but our server Evelyn made it right! She was extremely apologetic though it was something out of her control, super kind and professional. Ended up giving us our first round of drinks on the house along with a glass of Prosecco. She then provided us with shots for our birthday and offered to take our pictures which she excelled at as well. The food was 10/10. I got the stuffed chicken, Mac& cheese and creamed spinach! Soooo good! Will be back!
