    I’ve been going to Washington prime for the last 4 years, a couple times a year. The service is always fantastic and the food historically has been second to none. However, this is the first time Where the food was not 10/10. The calamari you can tell was fried in very old oil and not cooked properly, it was extremely brown and tough. They also typically cooked their steaks exactly how they’re supposed to, but my cousin ordered his steak medium and he got it medium rare at best but more towards rare. The beef Wellington was average at best. It’s the first time I didn’t get a ribeye from Washington Prime. Bartender was the man, as well as our server. John was great. Even the busboys were on point. Like I said everything was as expected except the food was not consistent to what it’s been the last 4 years I’ve been going. If you’re paying $200 a person for dinner you expect 10/10… i’m sure they’ll get it back next time I’m there.

    Excellent restaurant. The staff was accommodating, friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic. For apps, we tried the long hots and the bone marrow. Both were excellent. The ribeye was prepared perfectly with a great crust and temperature as requested.

    Very welcoming , excellent service . Fun , delicious , strong drinks. The menu has a nice variety , if it's your cup of tea the bone marrow appetizer was excellent, as well as the blue crab nachos. We all had beef , and each cut was cooked to perfection with the sauce to the side . A really nice dinner celebrating a birthday , desserts were solid too , banana foster is memorable.
