    The server was extremely inattentive and lacking compared to previous visits. She forgot my beverage and didn’t ask for the temperature of the steak. We even had items on the bill that we did not order.

    The food is always superb and so is the service. My wife has a garlic allergy, and the chef came out of the kitchen to talk to her about her options. Also, just when you decide you are going to have your same favorite dishes every time, the chef comes up with something new that you absolutely need to try!

    This was our 1st time eating here. My husband and I (along with our son) were celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary. We were seated immediately (we had a reservation). Our waitress was attentive. My son and I had steaks and my husband had the scallops. We had lobster Mac-N-Cheese and au gratin potatoes for sides. All of the food was great but the risotto that came with the scallops was PHENOMENAL. We were seated near the bar and it was lively but not bothersome. Overall we had a great experience and will go back again.

We had friends in tow and the service and food was absolutely amazing. Anytime we have friends in town, we bring them here and they are never disappointed. I love this place! Noting compares!

    The server Dazhia was amazing as well as the server assistant. The issue was security ogling everyone at the table because of their dress code & inappropriately staring at her “twins” because she is more.. “blessed” than the average person. Security even went as far as to give her a blazer. When we spoke with Derrick, the manager he quickly resolved our issue & apologized as there was nothing wrong with her outfit and it was following dress code. I will be returning for Derrick and Dazhia. Hopefully, there is a new security guard that isn’t misogynistic but also a creep.

    Very good restaurant, great food and atmosphere. We had the raw oysters and chilled crab meat for appetizers. They were both excellent! We also had filet mignon. The filet was served with a cabernet reduction. The filet was great and delicious! We finished with warm butter cake and creme brule. Both were fantastic!

    The only thing that I didnt like was they brought sparkling bottled water to table and we didn't open it.--it sat there entire meal--then at the very end she opened it and poured it our glasses and charged us for it. She did it before we realized what happened and i tasted it thinking it was regular water.

    Just ok. We picked Ocean Prime because of a wonderful dinner at another location earlier this year. Unfortunately, the DC location didn’t measure up. Expensive with uninspiring food and just adequate service. Fish was served warm but not hot whereas the salad was obviously premade and refrigerated as it was quite cold. Had a much better dinner the next night at another restaurant in neighborhood.
