- IFItalianFoodLovervipWashington, D.C. Area •134 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoExcellent venue for special occasion. We were celebrating a birthday. Food was delicious. Love the ambiance of fancy steakhouse.More infoEddie Merlot's Prime Aged Beef & Seafood - AshburnPrice: Very Expensive• Steak• Ashburn•4.3
- SCSteakConnoisseurChicago / Illinois •6 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe started off with a round of drinks. The DC Prime old fashioned was pretty good, made with a Maker’s DC Prime Barrel Select bourbon. Oysters Rockefeller for an appetizer hit the spot and followed up with a Ribeye Filet. I never heard of a ribeye filet so I decided to give it a try. It had the flavor of a ribeye with the texture of a filet mignon. I would definitely get it again but open to try some of the other cuts. We had the loaded baked potato and Brussels sprouts on the side. Probably would go for a different side next time. We were too full for desert but the deserts we saw floating around looked amazing. Price was a little high compared to other prime steakhouses in the area but not by much. At the end of our meal our server said the owner was going to stop by our table. He walked by our table a couple times after that but didn’t stop by.More infoDC Prime SteakhousePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Ashburn•4.6

- Hhlang1Philadelphia / New Jersey Suburbs •4 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 11, 2023Music was a little loud for my liking. The servers barely knew anything about the menu when we had questions —but they kindly went to go check on things for the stuff they didn’t know. It was a nice experience. We sat outside so I could have a hookah and the heaters kept us warm despite it being very cold. The food was great. The quantity of food was huge (chicken shawarma experience)—we’ll be eating for days. Overall good experience, but wish the music content and volume would have been different.More infoIVY by the LakePrice: Moderate• Middle Eastern• Sterling•4.2
