Winner of Best Steak in Connecticut and top steakhouses in the U.S. by the Food Network, Washington Prime has the privilege of framing SoNo’s newest structure at the corner of Washington Street and Water Street. Adding to this historic and progressive waterside community, this highly anticipated Eating & Drinking Well is driven by a culinary and beverage program that is not about gimmicks - just honesty and creativity. No stranger to high impact restaurants, Washington Prime is brought to you by some of the area’s most dynamic restaurateurs. The land and sea menu is a bit of Americana with cross-cultural influences, the space is multi-dimensional and the attitude is left at the door. Here, we eat, we drink and we join in the fun.

We were celebrating my husband’s birthday, but the reservation note wasn’t acknowledged. We ordered steak, and the mashed potatoes were greasy and bland. For the amount I spent, I would have preferred going to Capital Grille.

It was my 50th bday and vday so wanted a special night out. It took our server 15 minutes to come to our table and greet us. Appetizers took forever, food took forever, dessert took forever and getting the check took forever. We were required to order the prix fix meal in advance but we were still there over 3 hours with my family. Unacceptable and extremely disappointing for the amount of money we had to shell out.

Terrific Experience. 5-6 years ago I went to Washington Prime. I had ordered a steak “Black and Blue” and it wasn’t cooked to my liking. It left me questioning its rating as “Best Steakhouse”. This time was entirely different. My wife and I went for Valentines’s Day. It was amazing. Steak Tartare, Duck Breast, NY Strip, Salmon toast. Amazing. The cocktails, amazing. 10/10. Would go again!
