We came at the end of the night right before the kitchen closed. They seated us quickly and the service was great. It wasn't a lot of people in there so it was rather quiet. The food and drinks were great too!

Well this was our first time here. The restaurant is listed as #2 Steakhouse in DC but I don't agree. Morton's or Jerry's is better. The front desk personnel however were extremely professional and kind. I appreciated their courtesy because I felt welcomed. The problem started with our waiter. He spent a lot of time constantly telling us about the prices like he felt we couldn't afford it or something. I didn't hear him tell any of the other tables what...

Only negative from our meal was the appetizers we got. Very small portion in comparison to other higher end steak houses in DC area. Definitely skip the apps. Everything else was great.
