Washington Prime

FORMER GLORY: NOW MEDIOCRE AT BEST Washington prime used to be a great steakhouse. Their wet-aged strip steak was the best, bar none! Their hamburgers, especially on Sunday, were heavenly. I don’t know if they changed chefs, owners or the quality of their ingredients has gone down, but the food is Shake Shack quality at Delmonico‘s price. I went for years and trust me I will never set foot in that restaurant again. The servers were rude. It’s worn down. The silverware was mismatched. Dishes were served that were chipped as were wine glasses. I actually cut my lip on one of the wine glasses. Such a terrible disappointment. Do not pay a fortune to go to this restaurant and receive inadequate food and bad service. Oh, and by the way, I wish I had taken a picture, but my salad had lots of san

Overall, the experience was disappointing aside from a few small highlights. The bacon appetizer was quite good and the martini was well made, but unfortunately the rest of the meal did not live up to expectations. Both ribeyes, priced at $74 each, arrived noticeably undercooked. While that alone would not have been a major issue, the quality of the steaks themselves was also disappointing. They did not resemble the quality expected from prime cuts. The steaks came out cold and were extremely chewy, which made them difficult to enjoy. The cauliflower gratin was another letdown. It was overly oily and the cheeses felt poorly balanced, hardening quickly rather than remaining creamy and cohesive. The mushrooms were simply okay and did not add much to the overall meal. Service was inconsist

I had the grouper, which comes with risotto with coconut, and plantain. If the plantain was the green type, I'd be perfect, but it's the ripe fried plantain which does not go with the fish at all. I was wishing I had some salt to put onto the fish. Everything else was good. The fish basically needed a little salt ,and get rid of the plantain .

The porterhouse for two was excellent—perfectly cooked with great flavor. The cocktails were really well made, and the side dish complemented the meal nicely. Overall, a very good experience and definitely worth trying.

I visited with a large party and everyone enjoyed their food. It's a good-sized menu and everything was very good. The service was very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is cute and comfortable but not too casual. We were fortunate to visit as Emily Victoria had started her set, which was really special. My only complaint is when I'm asking what kind of cheese comes with a sandwich, please help me understand so I can make a decision instead of insisting that cheddar and American are the same thing.
