Christmas lunch with my girls, food and service was wonderful!
I’ve been several times before pandemic.
Today is wedding anniversary dinner with my friends.
But I felt mistakes to choose this place, Smoke Cigar smelling bothered me.
I don’t understand why they allow to smoke inside.
Amazing. Best service. Fabulous food.
One of the managers walked around without a mask talking the entire 2.5 hrs we were there. Covid is rampant. She works in the cigar bar and came back and forth in the restaurant. For that reason we may not come back until after the pandemic because if we do and see it again we will alert the authorities. It was just no reason for that when all the staff and guests followed the law.
Food was amazing and service incredible
Our server was amazing, but the food was terrible. Everything was just over cooked. I also didn’t expect such a nice restaurant to serve their spinach and artichoke dip with tortilla chips. Loved the steak and cheese rolls (appetizer) and drinks. They have a great wine selection and their blackberry lemonade cocktail is delicious. Just not worth the money.
Sat outside with 3 co-workers. Temp was in the 40s & wind was whipping! A bit brisk, but servers & the manager set us up with heaters & we had an excellent lunch. Hot toddy with bourbon excellent. Shared some apps & had French Onion soup. We will be back, hopefully on a less windy day.
This was my 2nd time dining there. The food, the ambiance and especially the service by Eduardo (sp) was excellent! Will definitely be going back there. Thanks!
Best prime rib I’ve ever had. The scallops were amazing as well.
Great food and service, keeps me coming back. I highly recommend.
Good location, easy access. Street parking a short walk away and fairly well illuminated. Good outside dining/drinking and DID have heat (propane towers) but building management has pulled that winter necessity away. Indoor table separation a bit close in the bar area, and not much better in the main restaurant. Go early and that is not a problem.
The wait staff is tremendous. Keeps good distance but need not be "searched for." Great drinks, fantastic food both appetizers and entrees. There are a number of desserts listed but in fact there is only ONE---The Bread Pudding., serves two VERY comfortably.
Great for first dates, office parties, assignations, or routine dining with adult family members.
Great to find a lit heated patio, socially distanced, good Covid protocol with good food and great service.
We had reservations at 7:15 and weren't seated until 8 pm. The service was slow after that. Our New York strip was thick and raw inside. Food was far overpriced for what we were served.
Nothing bad happened during our visit. But, nothing stood out as great, either. Some highlights:
They offered a QR code for the menu.
Our server had NO wine knowledge and could not make a pairing suggestion.
The bar manager (?) stepped in for the server and helped us make a wine selection.
The cheeses and meats offered on the QR menu differed from the tablet menu and the server didn't know which was correct. (Also, there were no hard cheese offerings. That's a shame.)
Our entrees were fine.
It took a very long time to process our payment.
In all, it was an ok visit, but there are so many options in the area.
Excellent food!! Definitely we are coming back to American Prime!
The food was awesome and the service spectacular. The wine list was quite extensive Nd had a number of excellent choices.
Food and service both were excellent. Recommendations on food and wine were also well done.
Scallops and Prime rib - Brussels sprouts and Cauliflower au gratin - all fabulous - service spectacular. What a great place!
The steaks were great. My husband is a vegan and said he enjoyed the cauliflower steak.
The staff recommendations were very helpful.
Fantastic experience! The outside patio is wonderful!! Ambiance is great. Food is delicious and service is top notch. Heaters keep it warm!!
Great food, loved dining on the patio. The deconstructed bakes potatoe is a must try!
Great location and food. Great attempt to keep us warm outside. Service was a little slow at the end, but servers very attentive.
The food was delicious and the outdoor dining experience was fantastic. We will definitely return.
Great food. Prime rib was tender and juicy. Loved the deconstructed potato and the black berry lemonade.
Delicious food with impeccable service. The wait staff is amazing and so friendly! Such a pleasant experience. The location is great as well- it’s secluded and quiet. This location is also well-equipped for outdoor seating. Will be back!
Socially distanced weeknight dinner for 4 on the patio. Loved their patio. As the evening got cooler, staff moved a heat lamp near our table and we were very comfortable until we departed. The 4 of us either had a martini or a bourbon smash & both were excellent. Charcuterie was nice, salads were okay (nothing special). We shared meat 3 ways - smoked prime rib, short ribs & a tomahawk ribeye & all 3 were fantastic! Along with asparagus, brussels sprouts & cowboy corn, we had a tremendous feast. Loved every bite & waddled out the door at the end of the evening. :-) Servers were professional & attentive. We will be back!
Unknown gem. Staff is attentive and knowledgeable. Food is fabulous. Had a wonderful time in the outdoor seating.
This is our go to spot in Tysons for happy hour! Pre, during and hopefully post corona!
American prime has great service, friendly staff and good food.
Due to cocos restrictions we sat outside, and had the huge firepit on. I was cosy and fun!
Great experience at American Prime! Food was delicious, cocktails were great and the service was amazing! They have a wonderful outdoor patio as well! Will be back for sure!
Have to say we had a great experience, especially with Covid. Sat outside on your beautifully lite patio, fire pits, and everything. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
The only thing we would say is that we had know idea the restaurant was there, 5 minutes from our house, been open for two years and had no clue. Our recommendation is to do a little marketing, send out a flyer, offering a free appetizer, or something. Let people in Mclean, Tysons, Great Falls know you are there. Even with covid, with your patio set up, I'm sure you would have more people dining at your restaurant. Marketing is key...like I said the four of us live 5 min away...and not one of us knew the restaurant existed.
Amazing meal and service. Great atmosphere and staff definitely following COVID best practices. High recommend.
We enjoyed our first evening out since March 2020. We chose American Prime because they offered outside dining in the Tysons' area. We were very pleased with our dinner, the service and the ambiance.
Went with a some friends for an early evening dinner. First of all, I thought the service was fantastic. Great atmosphere and everyone in my dinner party including myself enjoyed our meals
The French Onion soup was delicious as was the cowboy corn. The crab cake was a little spicy and the salmon was just OK. The blackberry lemonade cocktail was delicious.
We sat outdoors and everyone was very good about wearing masks.
Food was great! Service was excellent!! Will definitely go back.
Had a Great Time and we sat outside. Food and service was good also...
AJ is amazing. The best host.
Delicious food, outstanding service. Warm and friendly atmosphere.
Food was below average for the price. Could have gone to Capital Grille for similar price and better quality.
Awesome outdoor seating. Service was supreme and food was fabulous. A great escape and felt safe the entire time. Great job AP!
