    If you want an amazing fillet mignon, look no further. I recommend medium rare.

    Terrific lunch at the bar with prompt & friendly service by Alex. Lobster salad & Tenderloin sandwich were both excellent. Great vibe.

    First time at this steakhouse. Pricey, but worth every penny. Dry-aged New York Strip was very tender and flavorful. Server was outstanding and even comped our fries when I was the only one eating them. If you go, make sure you hace reservations (we did) as others who didn’t waited a LONG time for a table. Even on a Wednesday night, it was BUSY.

    We had a fantastic business lunch. Our server had a really good sense of when to stop by and ask us if we want to order drinks... when we want to order our dishes, etc. It is quite a gift. You don't want to feel like you're interrupting an important conversation. But you also don't want your guests sitting there asking - when is this guy going to take our order?!?! It was a perfect lunch at the best restaurant in Washington. Thanks to all who made it very special!

    Traveling with ranchers from AZ, all rank their steaks as one of the best they've had. Service was fantastic, Adam is a joy!
