   Service was great. The restaurant staff is very kind. The menu is a little repetitive. Bacon was great but the deviled eggs were lukewarm. Overall the food is just not that special. Also the seating is uncomfortable…. I’m not a large human and the chairs are tiny, definitely doesn’t encourage wanting to hang out.

   I booked this reservation to celebrate my birthday with friends. Service and food were great. I didn’t know how casual/rugged the decor would be, but we made it work.

   After a food delivery accident at our table that led to staggered serving of our dinner items and required reheating of a $190 steak, management offered no compensation. A small gesture such as complimentary glasses of wine or side dishes would have been enough. Given the price point, this is not too much to ask. We all left the place feeling dissed.

   Love the atmosphere; certainly a lot of energy. Initially it was hard to hear and, once again, VERY cold inside the dining area. Service was excellent.

   My son chose St Anselm looking for a great brunch and it did not disappoint. There was a great rustic vibe inside. The menu had the perfect selection for brunch. I opted for the French toast which was delicious. The oat crumble and warm fresh blueberries were perfect. My son had the New York strip. It was prepared medium rare. He finished 3/4 and left a portion to bring with us for a snack on our flight home. We had the biscuits to start They were light, flaky and buttery. You must get. I wish i had gotten two orders to bring home. My friends son joined us and he got the chicken sandwich. Needless to say he polished that off. Definitely check this one out. It’s also right near Union Market. Next time I’ll have to come back so I can meander the neighborhood.

    A reliable brunch spot that always has delicious eggs, potatoes, biscuits, and other breakfast favorites. It's definitely on the pricey side though and there are charges tacked on for small things that add up.

    I went for brunch and wasn't to fond of the small menu. My favorite was the salad and deviled eggs. I will need to return another time to get the full dinner experience.

    Ruth Chris prices, 1/4 the quality. Service started off good, then server got overwhelmed with too many tables - from an attentive beginning to slow service. We had the biscuits, Salmon Collar and steaks. Biscuits were good, Pimento spread was amazing. Salmon Collar was good. Steaks were all sub par - we had Ribeye, strip, and the Butcher's Steak - they were all just okay at best - one bottle of wine ($64) and 2 drinks later - $400 was more than the experience that we received.

    Visited St. Anslem tonight and everything from the host stand to the food was amazing. This restaurant is truly a gem, and you should definitely consider going if you are reading this review. We had a reservation for 5:00pm, and were sat immediately. We were greeted by our server within 3 minutes. Our server was amazing, she explained the menu so that we did not have a lot of follow up questions. Drinks were nicely made and balanced. The food the food the food was top notch and cooked to perfection. The food also didn't take long to come to our table. The ambiance is nice and relaxed. The restaurant allows you to be relaxed and not dress up, while still enjoying 5 star food. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a nice steak and even more. I typically do not give 5 star reviews but St. Anslem deserves nothing less.

    We loved this place for brunch! The service was really fantastic and the food was too. Get the monkey bread and biscuits with pimento cheese. The avocado toast is a bit small for a meal, but the breakfast sandwich is good sized and delicious. They don’t give you the dessert menu with the brunch menu but just know they do have ice cream cake and it’s GOOD!

    Food was pretty mid aside from the biscuits which were delicious. Pit Beef sandwich was seasoned well but very dry. The house old fashioned tasted good but using small ice cubes in an old fashioned felt cheap for a $17 cocktail IMO. Maybe dinner is better but I’d only go if you’re craving their baked goods.

    I love St Anselm and have dined there often . On the plus side—the service is excellent, but serving cocktails in a thimble size glass is not classy. Our server was nice enough to upgrade second round of Cosmopolitans to a slightly larger glass. But seriously, a cosmo should be served in a real martini glass. Period. And for the prices charged, the steaks should be flavorful and tender. Mine was neither. There are many other DC restaurants that serve a superior steak. I’ll be back for the ice cream cake but not rushing next visit.

    Great drinks and food came out fast, but we were seated in an overflow room with folding chairs that weren’t comfortable. It was very intimate with wedding party. It should be reserved for private parties. No atmosphere of the restaurant.

    The food and the service were both top tier. My two criticisms are: 1) the outdoor chairs are very uncomfortable; and 2) I ordered an expensive glass of cabernet and received and the it was a stingy pour (well below the wide midsection of the glass). That left a negative impression.

    Service was off and slow, steak was undercooked. After being there 5+ you grow to expect a certain consistency and they didn’t meet it that time. Every other time I’ve been there it’s been 5 stars.

    I made an appointment through opentable, nice service; however, the seating available online was limited to just outside seating, but upon arrival there were several tables open and clearing. They sat us as the chef’s table where it wasn’t conducive for a large person party… The seating there blocked the staff from getting in and out of the kitchen and made for an uncomfortable experience.
