    S'mores dessert.
    Michael O.

    Service: We were right on time for our 8:15pm appointment, but a table wasn't ready for us. It was a Friday night, and they were packed. After standing just a minute or two, Katerina kindly escorted us to the outdoor patio to wait and graciously offered a free round of drinks. This is great service and why I don't mind paying for an expensive meal. Service in my mind matters just as much as the meal. Once we were seated, we had Pai (like Pie). He was funny, but still able to be personable. The level of service was great although I feel that the person filling water was a little pressed to keep up. Ambience: The outdoor patio was really nice. It was comfortably adorned with cushy chairs. Very upscale. Inside was more of the same. I Renner coming here a LONG time ago and it has been since updated. Very posh. Food: We had steaks and mine was delectable. I had the Delmonico, which is the prime rib basically. My wife and daughter had filets. We also opted for the brussels sprouts and a wedge salad. Both these sides were really good. For dessert, I had the s'mores dish and my wife had the cheesecake. The s'mores were phenomenal . Although, this is coming from a person that has been on keto for a month. Cheesecake, which I tasted was ok. All in all, it was a great dinner. For 3 with drinks, it ran like $500 and left a $100 tip.

    Created a drink just for me

    Then celebrated midnight at Bourbon Steak, where the staff went above and beyond. They created a custom cocktail just for me (and even wrote down the recipe so I'd never forget it ). Huge shoutout to Tony and Quinton behind the bar -- the absolute dream team who made my birthday feel so special. From the city lights to the cocktails to the energy of Halloween weekend, it was the most unforgettable way to welcome a new decade.

    We had dinner here while in DC- it's a lovely place! The setting is warm and welcoming- in the Four Seasons hotel. The service was impeccable! Andy was the main server and did a great job- he was friendly, helpful and gave us great suggestions. The food was great- the steaks were tender and flavorful, the crab cake was one of the best! The banana dessert was delicious! I'd definitely go again- it is pricey so be aware!

    Heritage Turkey Burger, Caesar Salad,

    me and my friend went to Bourbon bar to have cocktails and a snack but ended up getting the house made turkey burgers and a salad because the drinks were so good. We kept ordering more and needed something to soak it up. The atmosphere is always nice there you never know who you're going to run into. We had the privilege of sitting next to some film industry producers who were bury humble and fun. The bartender was hands-down one of the best bartenders I have encountered in a long time. Because of his service we have been back and will always go back when we are in the four seasons neighborhood of Georgetown.

    A standard, part of the Four Seasons. Whether for a drink while you leak secrets to reporters or a 3rd date or grabbing a cigar on a Tuesday afternoon after having to deal with certain elected officials you can't go wrong. The staff will always take care of you Also make sure to get one of the house bourbon cocktails. They're all excellent.

    Japanese A5 Wagyu striploin

    I had the most amazing dining experience at @bourbonsteakdc inside the @fswashington , and let me tell you, it's an absolute must-try! I went for the A5 Wagyu Striploin, and WOW - pure perfection. Other highlights? The classic Caesar Salad was on point, Michael's Tuna Tartare had that perfect balance of fresh and flavorful, and don't even get me started on the Duck Fat Fries... literally to die for. If you're looking for next-level food, this place is *the* spot. #foodie #food #chilebougie #chilebougieeats #foodreview #chilebougietravels #foodiegram #drinks #cocktails #chiamakalkalu #blackfoodie #foodcritic #japanesefood #dmv #dcfood #dcfoodie #tastemademedoit #EaterDC #dceats #dcfoodreview #dmvfoodreview #mdfoodie #marylandfoodie #blackgirltravel #FoodGoals #LuxuryDining #BourbonSteak #WagyuMagic

    Hamachi Crudo

    If you are looking for a high end steak dinner, look no more. We dined here tonight and ordered the following family style: Appetizers: Hamachi Crudo, Black Truffle Agnolotti, Maryland Crab Cake, and a bonus Tuna Sashimi from the Chef. Main: 100 day dry-aged Bone-in Cowboy Steak, New York Strip, and Hanger Steak. Sides: Truffle Mac & Cheese, Brussel Sprouts, and Bacon Creamed Corn. It was too much food for 5 people and everything was amazing. Extra bonus, we saw Mr. Wonderful walking in for dinner just as we were leaving. That was pretty cool!

    Beignet and smoked smores

    Hands down the best steakhouse my husband and I have ever had. Great service, ambiance, and experience. We will absolutely return!

    Sorry for the blurry photo.   This is the hangar steak.the cut is almost tubular and is like butter
    Chris g.

    This is the best steakhouse experience I've ever had, hands down. I'm ok with the trashier-jacket clad waiter and the traditional "sides" but this place hits different First off is the ambiance. It's beautifully lit and the tables are very comfortable. We came for my wife's birthday. I love the fries and dipping sauces they bring to the table along with the buns - 3 types of fries, duck fat, old bay and sea salt and herb. The duck fat were the best. The tuna tartar was like butter and my wife and I shared it. I got the 6 oz hangar that was like a filet, with perfect amount of sea salt sprinkled around the plate. Leanna was our server and she was great and every recommendation she made was spot on. Their take on a Negroni was one of the best cocktails I ever had They add chocolate and some espresso-like concoction that isn't overpowering but really lifts the drink I had 2! My wife had the 8 oz fillet and she loved it I didn't ask to try because my steak was that good. The truffle Mac and cheese was on a whole other level We had the beignets for desert. The wines were spectacular and we don't treat ourselves to places like this often, but the next time we do, I won't think of going anyplace else but Bourbon Steak.

    Side of grilled shrimp
    Marianne C.

    Service: Excellent Cocktails: Excellent Atmosphere: Excellent The Four Seasons restaurant is lovely. We had several dishes. My truffle pasta was excellent. My crabcake was quite good, not as good as the Prime Rib. The side order of grilled shrimp were excellent. They were quite large and had wonderful flavor. I usually cook my shrimp more, but they were done well. My friend's $86 steak had too much gristle for the price. That was quite disappointing. The desert of beignets was generous. Definitely a dessert to share. There are six beignets. The beignets were not light and fluffy as they should be. The trio of sauces was delicious--milk chocolate pudding, crème brûlée, and a caramel sauce with scotch. I do not like scotch, but the scotch was hardly noticeable at all. The cocktails are always unique and special. I had been here before several times, but it had been a while so we thought we'd check it out again. It's a special place to visit. I probably would not go back to the dining room. I would go to the bar and savor the drinks and appetizers/small plates.

    Shrimp Cocktail, Ahi Tuna Tartare*, Agnolotti
    William D.

    First off amazing bar service. We began with cocktails and then moved to the private room. The sommelier Winn was fantastic. The food was also incredible... everything was top notch. It's not on the menu, but get an espresso martini. The steak was super tender and the sauces enhanced it. The fries and bread rolls were a great start. My favorite side was perhaps the mushrooms, but the carrots, mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, Brussels, etc were all done well.

    French fry flight
    Sehar M.

    This place had absolutely wonderful food! We came here for dinner and they started us out with a French fry flight after we ordered some food. They even gave some specific fries for our vegetarian friends. They also gave us some break that tasted great! The rest of our friends had all kinds of wonderful food! I had the steak and shared the mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. I didn't like the mashed potatoes only cause my stomach got upset from them later. I loved the mac and cheese though. Lastly, I got the smoked s'mores, which was great (obviously, expect a smoky flavor). The ambiance is low key and wonderful! You do have to dress up a bit but I enjoyed that a lot! I can't wait to come back here again. The only thing is our server was a little slow so we didn't get food quickly. Other than that, next time, I would definitely do the lounge for their lunch special.

    I always enjoy the bar at Bourbon Steak in Gtown. It's a very friendly atmosphere, fun cocktail menu, and a good bar menu. Nice setting along a wall of windows. Not cheap but a great place to grab a drink. Valet parking with validation is $30 until midnight.

    Can you order a burger during dinner service, or only for lunch?

    Yes

    Is there outdoor space/seating?

    Yes! It is very nice too. You can get a table or sit in the lounge area. Cigar smoking is welcomed, too.

    What hours are happy at the bar?

    All hours are happy at the bar.

    Do they have a happy hour?

    Yes!

    Can you order a burger when you go to dinner on the restaurant side? Or are the burgers only available in the lounge?

    I confirmed with the hostess that you can only order a burger on the bar side. The drinks are amazing and the burgers look fantastic, so not all bad.

Nice place if you care mostly about atmosphere, but for me, it's not worth a second visit. Seating & Service: I reserved a high-top for two on a Sunday night, and luckily got seated at a private table rather than the communal table. It's unclear to me which reservations are for the communal table. The waitstaff were very polite and attentive. They also didn't rush us out and let us linger, which I appreciate (but this may be because there wasn't a reservation right after us). However, I do wish that they provided more detail about the menu and drinks without having to be prompted. We had to inquire about recommended dishes, suggested wine pairings, and portion sizes ourselves. Food: FYI, the dinner menu generally goes in order of size, with the smaller plates at the top and the larger plates towards the bottom. As expected, prices per dish also increase as you move down the menu. All the menus (including prices) change frequently so don't rely on the menus on the website to guide you. We ordered the Warm Manifest Bread ($9), Miso Caesar Salad ($19), Dry Aged Beef Tartare ($23), and the Escargot ($24) plus one cocktail ($18), a glass of wine ($16), and dessert ($15). For these prices and based on other reviews, I expected every bite to be fantastic, but the portions were very small and the quality and taste were average. The escargot was a little too salty for my taste and was strangely hidden under a puff pastry. I enjoyed the tartare the most, but it only came with three small pieces. I had high expectations, but sadly Maison fell short.

Firstly, I really have to commend the staff.  They were so attentive and thoughtful.  Our server, for example, brought an extra little light to our table when she saw we were struggling to read the menu in the low light. They were great about checking with us, keeping the water glasses filled and anticipating other needs such as a bag when we wanted to take some of our meal home.  Everyone was very kind and this added so much to our meal.  We enjoyed our progressive meal which reflecting the chef's heritage from both Italy and Brazil.  Our starting mocktails of the ploughman's surprise and the fermented peach soda were good.  The peach soda had a great amount of fizz but could have used a little more peach.  Maybe the nectar just sunk to the bottom and by the time we drank that far, the ice had diluted it.  We preferred the ploughman's surprise, which, coming with no ice (yah!) stayed flavorful to the very end.  Our app of grilled peaches and burrata was tasty but we actually preferred it eaten as its separate components rather than together where the burrata seemed to overpower the other flavors.  Special shout out to the sourdough crisp on top.  Super crunchy and delicious!  The bread was also a stand out in the panzanella.  This dish had a great kick from the jalapeno and was fresh and refreshing.  For our third dish - the bread also was really good.  This time it was garlic knots which everyone looked forward to the moment that garlic aroma arrived at our table.  The summer lasagna came with a very light and slightly sweet tomato sauce which only made us wish we had even more bread!  The main entrée was the picanha steak.  It was very well cooked and though not as hot temperature wise as we would have liked, it was really good even just warmed.  The oven roasted potatoes were just right and the chimichurri sauce was very good (anther longing for more bread - can you see a theme?...)  Dessert was a soft and custardy on the inside corn cake with  mascarpone and espresso dulce de leche.  Although I couldn't taste much of the coffee flavor, the dish was another example of Reveler's Hour comfort food wheelhouse.  The food and the service at Reveler's Hour are definitely worth coming back for.  Next time, we might try to sit towards the front where there is more light from the windows.  There is a small outdoor public lot a block away.

All interesting concepts, but most missed the mark. the Polar Express was a little too sweet, I forgot what the name of the riff on an old fashioned or Manhattan I had but that was okay, and the Fleur de Citron tasted like when you ask for a Sprite and they ask, "Is Sierra Mist (now Starry) okay?" and you reply, "yeah that's fine," but then what you get is actually a flat 7-Up. Ambiance - This place runs on vibes like America runs on Dunkin'. Live DJ, neon lights, feels like a place you wanna eat a little, dance a little, drink a little. Fun place. Tanked by the service. Skip to the Assessment/Plan if you don't want to read this novella retelling of our evening. Service - Relatively early for the dinner service, we were the largest and one of only a few tables in the restaurant. I counted 3 other tables seated (small parties of less than 4 each) and a few patrons at the bar. It took about 20 minutes before we first got our menus and the guy who handed them to us didn't say a word just dropped them off. Then it took another 20 minutes before he came back to get our drink orders, and 1) seemed like he was having a bad day, which... fine, but 2) was rolling his eyes when some of us were a little between some options and wanted a recommendation, which... alright my guy let's chill. We weren't talking loud, we weren't drinking before and being obnoxious, we just wanted to ask about what some of the drinks were like on a very cool menu of cocktails we haven't tried anywhere else. Upon returning with our drinks, he accidentally spilled a not insignificant amount on my friend sitting across from me, and while we reacted and started handing him extra napkins, he just glanced at him, finished giving out the drinks, and walked away. No "oops", "my bad", "oh let me get you some paper towels", nothing. So at this point, we're all staring at each other like "Did we do something? Do we smell?" Whatever, friend's birthday, we've been talking about this cabin weekend for several years and it's finally happening, let's just vibe. Now another 20 minutes went by and we were getting antsy because we wanted to order our food but it looked like there wasn't a lot of staff, and we didn't want to upset anyone by hurrying them. Another man came over who we thought was going to take our orders. Nope. He starts picking up our menus so I say, "Oh, hey we haven't ordered yet." To which he replies, "OK, but I need the menus." Alright cool, yeah, that makes sense if he needed them for other tables and can leave us with a few to share. Nope. He just took them and placed them back at the host stand. Awkward stares across the table again. Whatever, we had enough, I guess. Tick tock, tick tock. A third guy came over, and when he smiled and asked, "Hi are you all ready to order?" I was like "Oh finally a human being!" Food took another 20-ish minutes while we nursed our drinks and really had no interest in ordering another round (not that anyone asked us). We ate. We chatted. We had an okay time. We were super ready to get out of there. Oh right, the mozz sticks. Le Mont'zarella sticks. They had one order left of four sticks for $18. We were one of the first diners. You can imagine after all the above, that's just a major facepalm emoji. Assessment/Plan: Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God pray for Le Mont Royal to improve their service, now and at the hour of ASAP, because the place has so much potential, and maybe it was just an off night, or the staff just finished arguing with each other in the back so they took it out on us, but dearly beloved Lord it was like we offended nine generations of their ancestry from the moment we walked in. With "a 22% service charge has been added for your convenience," I thought we were getting Punk'd. The always-changing French-Canadian menu is a cool and unique concept, but it's a lot of bark with very little bite. It didn't make the disappointing service worth it.

    Loved the wine flights, old fashioned, and ravioli. Charcuterie was a bit lacking. Other than that,…read moreservice and decor is phenomenal and very vibey/Parisian.

    I had heard about Amelie for some time now and went with friends this past weekend. I give a 3 star…read morebecause it's a mixed review. I found my food to be pretty good and my friends liked their orders. The wine selection is also very good. My order was pretty large though my friends' portions were smaller and I ended up being the only one eating as they finished and then the server grabbed their plates before I was finished. But what detracted overall from the experience was the ambience and service. Maybe because it was the weekend, but the restaurant is so loud you need to shout at each other. The cacophony of conversation, open kitchen, laughter, screeching and music just ruins it. The service is spotty. The gentleman bringing the food basically tosses it on the table and hopefully it slides to your place. Water is aggressively poured wherever the glass is even if they need to reach acrosss your face while you're speaking. Plus they grab your bread plate after appetizer even if there is bread on it and you want it. Apparently bread service is only for the first part of the meal. So food and drink was good, but overall experience was not. We decided we won't go back. BUT, it seems very popular so you will need to make that call. I suggest trying to get a table at the front of the restaurant.
