Very good dining experience. Server Marwa was very personable, attentive and competent. We had a comfortable booth, ample menu selections. Outstanding Manhattan cocktail, a drink that’s getting harder and harder to make correctly. Onion soup delicious; very good bread although the flavored butter could be dropped from the offering. Steak and fully loaded baked potato were first rate. Short ribs with gnocchi needs work. Ribs were good but gnocchi were flavorless. Manager asked my opinion because it is a new dish and I told him simmering the pasta in the meat juice might add some taste. Many babies there on Father’s Day and all seemed to be screaming constantly but we were happy to see families out enjoying the day.👍

It would of helped if when I booked the table the restaurant noted it was a prefix buffet menu. We go to j gilberts for the lavish experience. Eating from a buffet with 50 other people trying to get food at the same time is not what we signed up for. Not to mention my 7 year old wanted none of the food but I was charged $21 anyway. I mean, the Mac n cheese was TERRIBLE! Get it together

Sides were great. Main course way overcooked and much lower quality than I expected based upon previous experiences. They took some of their best things off the menu. Still good but a bit pricy for the quality. Service was really slow and the place was empty.

Always excellent and prepared staff and food. Can't deny this is one of the best steakhouses in the DMV period. The house steak sauce needs to be bottled and sold!
