DC Prime Steakhouse

Food and service was excellent!

Hostess was lackluster at best, and had no real excitement to be working, and showed little appreciation for our arrival. We had an early dinner reservation, and while many seats were open, they sat my party right near the kitchen opening - really? When I asked about one of the wines from their robust wine collection, for some reason the waiter tried to steer me to the "less expensive" standard $18 wines - - Was my suit not expensive enough for you? Did I not look old enough to afford an $75-90 bottle of wine? I asked to speak to the sommelier instead (as I was slightly offended by the waiter), and when I asked him about the wine in question, I don't think he had a clue. For the first 15 minutes, I was not impressed at all. So, now to the good... Food was OUTSTANDING; two of the best steaks my wife and I have ever had. Sides were plentiful and the mash potatoes and the mushroom sides were inventive and quite remarkable. As the patrons filed in over the next hour, the place became as loud as a teenage dance club, and we were glad to have eaten like royalty, and were glad to be departing. 10 stars to the cooks in the back, and from now on, if I ever wanted to go full tilt for a steak - I'd order carry out...or go with Omaha Steaks and do it myself.

Great meal and a great waiter!! Lots of fun with friends!! Still talking about the Australian lamb and senators pie!!!

We had a family celebration and the whole staff made us feel like celebrities. This is by far the best restaurant in the DMV.
I’ll never go anywhere else for a special occasion. This restaurant is absolute perfection on their delivery!

Excellent food. I had the bone in ribeye and macaroni and cheese. If I had to change anything I would only suggest a more expansive pinot noir list. Only three to choose from. Definitely five star establishment.

Wonderful server! Can’t remember his name but I know he was born in Haiti and also from Florida. Thank you!

I have to admit that for the price I expected a bit more from this restaurant. I took my husband here for his birthday and the first thing I noticed was how the hostess was dressed. It was actually a bit jarring - and normally I don't care what people wear but it just clashed with the decor and feel of the restaurant. She was in a very short summer romper and fishnet stockings at the end of November. Whatever, to each their own. We get sat at a booth and the service is just OK. Our appetizers took a while to come out (shrimp cocktail and oysters) and when it came time for our main courses we had to ask for steak knives. The time spaced out between courses was OK - a bit longer than I would normally like, but it was OK. When it came time for dessert the coffee was brought out about seven minutes before the actual dessert. Then we had to ask for spoons. If this was any run of the mill or chain restaurant I don't think I would have minded, but when you pay this much for food you do kind of expect a great level of service. The food itself was nothing to write home about. I've had better steak from Wegmans and the Bernaise sauce was just really off to me. The portions were very generous though - we had plenty of leftovers. My husband had the ribeye, but he felt the same way - it was OK, but he expected a bit more. I guess I had just built it up in my head a bit more so the whole experience was bit lackluster.

Thanks for a wonderful evening for my mother's 80th complete with a personalized birthday card from the manager. Service was informative and efficient. Everyone loved their meals. Thank you so much for helping us make her day special.

Loved the atmosphere of this place. Food was very well prepared though a bit pricey. They pay good attention to detail as I was there to celebrate my birthday and my party was able to order a custom cake from the restaurant baker. Not sure how they are on a weekend but on a Tuesday evening they were quiet and very accommodating.

The restaurant was not busy yet we were seated next to the swinging doors into the kitchen. Three times a wait staff person hit/kicked my chair going into the kitchen.
The onion soup was only room temperature. The calamari was great.
The steak was lukewarm but cooked as requested.
We ordered a bottle of white wine. The waitress poured the first two glasses and set the bottle on the table, about 10 minuets later she put the bottle in the wine cooler which was between our table and the next one the whole time. Later she refreshed the glasses and put the bottle (still 1/3 full) onto the table and took away the wine cooler.
The time between our appetizers and dinner was only a minute, in fact the whole meal was done in 65 minutes-a little fast for an expensive dinner out.

We went there for my 50th. Best filet I have ever had...beats out Ruth’s Chris any day! Server was very good! A+A+A+!!

We brought some out of town guest and D.C. Prime did Not disappoint us. The entire evening was amazing. The food was incredible and of course Orlando was on top of his game as usual, in fact everyone was simply awesome.

The best customer service ever and great food,

Better than most other high end steak houses. More relaxing and more enjoyable. The only issue is the high price.

Very nice place to dine, food and service was excellent.

Great dinner, service, wine menu, and bar scene after dinner, what more could you ask? Make sure you try their Manhattan, wow! Excellent all around!

Service was very good. However, the food was OK but certainly not spectacular for the price. It is a good place for a special occasion simply because of the atmosphere, but there are better steak houses around unfortunately.

This is the second time we went there, and we didn't get the wow'ness as the first time. Multiple meats were unavailable due to a big party which was the biggest impact to our meal. Service was knowledgeable but we had to wait a while during the meal to get his attention - he was doing the best he could. Deserts we're amazing!

Great way to spend your anniversary. Sat near bar so a little noisy.

This is my favorite restaurant. The chef and staff never disappoint. The food is excellent!

It was on my husband’s bucket list to try Wagyu beef and DC Prime did not disappoint. I had the sea bass and was very pleased as well. Side dishes and cocktails completed our meal. It was a memorable evening and the staff was attentive.

The passion of the owners and the Executive Chef comes through in the food that they serve at DC Prime. Whether it's the Wagyu beef, top notch seafood, tomahawk steaks or the delectable desserts, everything is prepared with care and presented beautifully. The atmosphere is warm and inviting without being stuffy, the servers are friendly and professional and the bar is hopping on most nights. The restaurant features special events and special dishes all of the time so you won't get tired of visiting this gem in Ashburn. The steaks are always perfect, huge portions of everything can be shared and you can observe the open kitchen to watch your meals being prepared. It's on top of fine dining establishments in Loudoun. Even the libations are carefully selected by the chef and the owner.

Best steaks in the area. A little pricey but the food is worth it.

This was my second visit to DC prime and again was not disappointed. Great food and wonderful atmosphere.

Good, as always

Great service and atmosphere. Steaks are as good as it gets. Sea Bass was fresh, flavorable and cooked perfectly.

Food was excellent. Service was less than expected for a restaurant that is pushing $50 entrees. Our server was nice, but totally inexperienced and had absolutely no flair in table side manners. He is what you would expect from Applebees. Had limited skill in opening and presenting a bottle of wine well over $100. Handled it like Two Buck Chuck. Came by table only once to dump wine in glasses and left.

You need to up your service game. Marginal service with expensive entrees is a going out of business strategy.

Went with husband and sat at bar for dinner. The food, drinks and service were excellent. Not a fan of the location but would definitely go back. Great spot!

We were pampered the entire time we were there. Spent a couple of minutes in the bar waiting for our table. Wonderful service and they gave us recommendations that we're not the top of the price list. Awesome wine! At the dinner table, we felt like we were the only person they were waiting on. The ribeye was tender and tasty. The tomahawk was shockingly tender and full of taste. Wonderful experience. We'll be back!

Unfortunately, DC Prime failed to meet my expectations in every way except for the quality of the beef, which was excellent, and the bread, which was warm and delicious. Service, atmosphere, presentation, and the culinary experience were all below par for the prices charged.

If you’re in the Ashburn area and are looking for the best steaks and seafood, look no further. I have been here a number of times and they consistently deliver great service, remembering your name and preferences on drinks!! It always feels like coming home when I go there, very welcoming!!! Ask for Brittany or Morgan if you want stellar service and awesome recommendations for wine and food parings. Can honestly say my best experience at a restaurant has been there!!
Awesome bourbon and scotch collection and some amazing drink creations by the best bartender in VA, Chelsea!!!! Her personal and amazing service is unparalleled!! Looking forward to going back already!! Can not say enough great things about this place!

The food and service was good but there were drunk people yelling at the bar. It ruined the evening since it was all open and the bar isn’t secluded.

What a great restaurant!! We clebrated a birthday there last evening and it was simply perfect. The steaks are the best I've ever tasted. The sides were scrumptious. Great wines. INCREDIBLE service! A 10-star winner!

Nick was a fantastic waiter and as always, the food was excellent. Steaks were perfectly cooked and the sides were excellent recommendations as pairings.

Atmosphere is high end and the music fits without t being too loud. Access is easy and parking is convenient.

It was a terrific birthday dinner for the whole family.

I have always heard mixed reviews about DC Prime in Ashburn. MY wife and I went a few weeks ago and this place is worth the $ for sure. The seafood is fresh and the steaks are top notch. The staff was on point and the Whiskey list is amazing. Would recommend 10/10

Celebrated my son’s 23 birthday and it was above and beyond expectations. There were 6 of us and the service was impeccable. Food was amazing bone in NY strip had unbelievable flavor. Sides are are easily shared between 2-4 people. Cream corn very flavorful. Price was extremely reasonable for what we had. Definitely will be back

Good food in a nice atmosphere with great service. Would recommend this for special occasions. Intimate atmosphere. A bit pricey. But an overall great dining experience.

What an amazing experience from start to finish. My husband and I are fairly new to the area. We moved from Atlanta, which is known for incredible food, and have had a hard time finding great restaurants in Loudoun County. This place is by far the best we have had found.

We chose D.C. Prime to celebrate our anniversary. To begin the owner Rick greeted us at the door, we were seated promptly and quickly and engaged We by the most incredible waiter, Stew. I could go on and on about the superior customer service and the beautiful atmosphere but the food was even better. This is a fantastic place and we highly recommend it. The owner and staff went above and beyond to make our experience special!

We had a very nice time with 2 small exceptions. They forgot to bring out the side dish until we reminded them, and forgot to give us the doggie bag after we requested it. Neither were major issues rather minor annoyance. Overall a good experience and will go back again. The steak and porkchop were excellent.
