Sangria was a little one note and more on the dry side (don't mind that part) and the fresh fruit as a garnish was 10/10. Pinchos came with a yellow sauce which says is a jus on the menu but more of a solid, custardy consistency rather. Paella was great and flavorful and could do with the soccarat you're coming for. Veggies were amazingly flame grilled. I'd come back. read more

Car adage incoming! Bully was a lot like finding a sleek car that needs a little tuning to run smoothly. We arrived and waited outside the bar for the final guest in our party, which gave a chance to check out the action. Indeed the bar was busy and the patrons appeared to be quite happily imbibing. We were led to the upstairs dining room which is dark and classy. We quickly ordered drinks and appetizers, I had the Golden Hour based on a recommendation from our server, which left me asking "where's the bourbon". Complementary table bread arrived which was very good. We ordered Calamari, Patatas Bravas and Beef Tare Tare for the table. Everything arrived beautifully presented but only warm and a bit soggy. This unfortunately, turned out to be the narrative of our evening. Our servers tended to disappear for extended periods, often leaving wondering where everyone had gone. For entrees, we ordered Pollo Marinado, Pescado del Dia and the Hanger Steak. Pleas see above, beautifully presented but only warm, not hot. Overall, A-OK but it could use some tuning to run smoothly. Cheers! read more

I was lucky enough to have a meal of a lifetime prepared by Chef Pepe and his amazing team. As part of a special dinner hosted by Bully and the Ike Jime Foundation, we were treated to an incredible meal (menu and photos attached). While this menu was a special curated one, the quality of the food and service were outstanding. I will definitely be back. read more

The sangria pitcher was such a hit! And the tapas were delish. My favorite were the corn and patatas bravas. The shrimp and pasta were good too! read more

overall, 3.5 or so based on RW experience. Food was overall good, but unmemorable. Service was fine enough but there was one server working the dining room so things like refills were slow. Ambiance was ok, it's in a hotel lobby, the upstairs seating has sorta low ceilings for tall people. Enjoyed my meal here but not rushing to go back for their normal menu just yet read more

My Husband wanted to go to a steakhouse for his birthday but I wanted to treat him to something unique. Both were accomplished here. The food and atmosphere were great, but the service was the highlight! Our waiter, Chris, was amazing-- fun, kind, attentive, knowledgeable, awesome recommendations (the red sangria is a 10/10) and most importantly he paid attention to my allergies and avoided a major disaster that I had missed myself. Sunday night was quiet but it was a lovely meal, would definitely go again. read more

We dined for our anniversary! We enjoyed our meals, really loved the giant sangria but what really shined was fantastic service! At a time when service doesn't shine most places, it really did at Bully, especially for our evening out. read more

Made a reservation for Valentine's Day and unfortunately we were not as impressed as we would've hoped. To give the TLDR; the food was very good and worthy of wanting again but the service left little to be desired. We were sat down and it took while for a server to come and ask what type of water we wanted. He eventfully came and we also placed drinks and an appetizer. We sadly sat there for about 30min before heading or seeing anything. Eventually we got our water and appetizers! The appetizer was a seafood special and it was truly incredible! I could've just had 3 more of those for dinner and called it a night! However, we had still not gotten out drink and seen multiple other people get there's even though they ordered after us. We brought it to the waiters attention and he if we were sure we didn't already get it, however if you look at the photo you would know if we had gotten it or not. He did apologize and told the bartender, who did come over and give us a complimentary glass of champagne. We eventually got out drink after about an hour, however it was the wrong one. We let the waiter know and he said he would switch it out but we didn't want to risk waiting another hour. We got fish and steak for the entree, they were very flavorful as well and worthy of ordering again but we were well over 2 hrs of waiting from the time we put everything in. Overall the food was delicious and we talked to other couples there and they all enjoyed their food as well! Maybe it was just because it was a holiday but it was unfortunate the service didn't live up to the otherwise fantastic experience and beautiful restaurant! But I am looking forward to going back on an off weekend and hoping for a better experience next time read more

I was thinking steak last week and a website I subscribe to had a list of new for February of 2026 restaurants to try. Bully was on the list. Ok, seemed to get better than average reviews so I booked a reservation. I got out of work and headed to the Dupont circle metro stop. It's pretty simple to find, down Connecticut and a right on M St. The metro site has you walking another 10 blocks. It was a chilly breezy night so I decided to take the shorter route. I arrived right on time at 6:30PM. For a Thursday I expected more people...I was seated to the right of the bar at a small table. The place is dark inside, like I had to use my phone to light up the menu. I don't remember which beer I ordered but it came out quick. It was tasty. The menu in the restaurant is a bit different from what is on the website. I was deciding between the flank steak and the hangar steak. The hangar steak won out. For a side I ordered the patatas bravas luxe (small fried potatoes with two sides for dipping). I'm enjoying being inside out of the cold and the wind. The beer is going down nice. A few more people come into the restaurant. One dude sits at the bar. The beer is half gone and my steak and potatoes arrive. The aroma is heavenly. The potatoes are hot...just a heads up if you decide to order them. The place is dark so I'm looking at my food with the light from my phone. The meat is very tender, cooked perfectly. It's seasoned with something that's very good. The spuds are cool enough to eat so I'm enjoying them as well. The cut is very filling and every bite is tasty. Bully definitely delivers when it comes to quality steak. The beer is gone, potatoes gone and the steak definitely gone and enjoyed. read more

Bully is a new Spanish steakhouse in the Eurostars Hotel in DuPont. It's split into two sections in the lobby with a dining area one side and a small bar with a few booths on the other side. They have HH bar bites from 4 pm - close everyday. I tried the steak skewers, calamari, bikini sandwich and prawns. I also had the Roja sangria tower. Overall everything tasted good but definitely room for improvements as a newer establishment. The service was also very slow to get our orders taken but everything comes out pretty quickly after it's taken. read more

New steakhouse. Food is was very tasty. Everything was delicious. I would highly recommend the crispy braised bacon and chorizo stuffed portobello for appetizers, any of the steaks, Roja sangria tower and the bread pudding. The steaks were tender and succulent. Ambiance was very mellow, relaxing and calming. Service was good. John Carlos, the general manager, explained his cultural influence with the menu. We also met the chef Jonathan. If they keep up the consistency, they will have a successful future ahead! read more

After attending a Galentine's Day Mini Market, Carla and I had brunch at Bully Spanish Steakhouse and overall, it was a solid experience with a few highs and a few things that didn't quite land for me. I appreciated that their menu featured two mocktail options. It is always nice to see thoughtful non-alcoholic choices included for brunch guests who aren't drinking. I tried the Granada Fizz (12), which consisted of pomegranate, bergamot, and soda. I didn't expect this cocktail to be so tart. It was bright and refreshing, but I just wanted a little more balance. There wasn't a salad listed on the brunch menu, but I asked if they could make the Brasa Wedge (14) and they kindly accommodated. Grilled baby gem, manchego dressing, smoked jamón bits, cherry tomatoes -- and it was beautifully plated. Smoky, savory, and visually stunning. This ended up being my favorite part of the meal. Service was accommodating and the presentation was strong, but the overall brunch menu felt a bit limited for my personal preferences. That said...it is a Spanish steakhouse, and I have a feeling dinner is where they truly shine. I'd absolutely come back to explore their steak and evening offerings -- I think that's where the full experience might really impress. read more

Their were two tables in the restaurant during lunch and the service was still awful. Our hangar steaks were over cooked, the side of broccoli and cauliflower tasted like it was cooked in a microwave, and the patata bravas were like leftovers from the breakfast buffet...I could tell because their staff hadn't bussed one of the tables next to us from their breakfast seating....thank god this one was on the expense account! read more

Our waitress was so sweet! She gave genuine recommendations and we chatted and laughed with her quite a bit. The food was actually amazing. So delicious. I had the burger and we had the rolls for an appetizer. The butter candle was so cool! The decor was stunning. The place felt very high end but the prices were incredibly reasonable. I would definitely come back for date night! read more

Our waiter Miguel brought the best energy to the table! He noticed my birthday card right away and took the time to bring extra special bubbly to the table. Miguel was kind, generous, and graceful. We particularly enjoyed the dessert variety! What a dream I absolutely recommend this place from the ambience to the service to the food...it's a win win read more

1. Bread and butter was fantastic 2. Wedge and Caesar salads were also a 10/10. The Caesar is more acidic than traditional, but I loved that 3. Lamb was mostly rib so pretty fatty, but flavor was good-- more than one chop would be nice 4. Ribeye soft and good flavor but also pretty fatty, though that's the trade off for a ribeye All and all the ambience and food are definitely worth the try, service was just fine. read more

The food was delicious! And the servers were very nice. I got the hanger steak which was excellent!

Dined here a few days ago and had a pretty bad experience. Service was slow and inattentive and the food wasn't very good. The food was tasteless and the quality seemed pretty poor. Probably won't dine here again. read more

Our drinks took almost an hour to get and only 2 came and we had to remind them what the others were. Someone ordered a blue filet mignon and it arrived medium. Sent it back and brought a hanger steak claiming it was a filet mignon. Also got bone broth crème for the steak after we finished our dinner and all our plates were cleared from the table. Manager said it was new staff and made it right with the bill. Took 2.5 hours for our service. At this time would not recommend. Maybe after some more training and understanding the difference in meats. read more

Went for a birthday dinner on a Saturday night. Hip, romantic vibe. Ribeye was excellent. Drinks too. Service, very attentive. I like that it's not a huge place. Feels like an intimate cove. Definitely going back. Heard happy hour is a very good deal at the bar. read more

First time here for a friend's birthday dinner(on valentine's day). Amazing service by John!! Ask for him if you give this place a try. My steak & wedge salad was enough for two and the appetizers were amazing. Can't wait to come back! read more

I came recently and didn't have the best experience. I understand this restaurant is new and they're still probably trying to figure things out, but certain things are just unacceptable such as non existent and inattentive service, tasteless food, etc. This restaurant definitely needs to tighten up. read more
