We really wanted to like this place, since it is close to our home. However, we were disappointed. The Filet medallions were extremely small pieces and apparently taken from the tenderloin chain rather than the tenderloin itself. We would rank it behind Morton's, Capital Grille, and Ruth's Chris in terms of overall experience and value. read more

Underwhelmed overall.... It's a shame when the cesar salad and the augratin potatoes are what stood out! Both were excellent. I would have liked some whole anchovies in top... As to our steaks.... our filets were okay... it's sad when I think outback steak is at the same quality level... plus mine was a bone in version.. Our server was friendly and service started okay then as the place filled things got slower and slower... it seemed like a extended wait till a dessert menu was provided. Hubby was at first thrilled they had port but then saddened by the fact they were all tawney as he prefers a ruby As to clothing we spotted folks wearing shorts to dressy... so anything goes it appears... I think that detracts from things overall read more

Always great tasting food. Never had a bad experience here. They are one of my favor steak houses to feast. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The big boss is always checking on folks to ensure the experience is on par. The ambiance is amazing and the music is typically soothing. read more

DC Prime Steaks - Entrance - Steakhouses Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

Our neighbors invited us for a double date to try out D.C. Prime. The building and layout is very nice. You def get vibes of an elevated and premier restaurant when you walk in. Their bar is a whiskey based bar with inspired drinks on their menu. I was impressed with the ipad for their wine list. It was very easy to navigate between and I very much enjoyed the photo's that they include of the bottles. Our table ordered the trio appetizer with shrimp, lamb pops and Rockefellers. It was an amazing presentation and def photo worthy. The shrimp was my favorite on this tower, the lamb pops were a bit raw and the charbroiled oysters we mostly just panko. They were out of the Cain 5 so we settled for a Raymond. These are brands we typically purchase from wine styles so the mark up was eye popping. My husband and I ordered the porterhouse. Presentation was great, but taste wise it was just ok. Our group really enjoyed the ambiance of the place. It's very open and designed to allow you to see inside the kitchen, or see their vertical stacked bar, they have outdoor fire pits and a lovely statue/artpiece in the main dinning hall. The dim lights and manners of the waiters, give off the class and tone you would assume from a up class steak house. We enjoyed our server, the experience with the interactive wine book via a tablet, our company and our wonderful desert! We made memories here, which are priceless. I would recommend this place if you are looking to try something out of your norm, where you want to dress up for an occation, put on your fanciest clothes that have been sitting in the closet all of covid. Between the music, abiance, edicate of the servers, enticing meat selections, you are bound to make great memories at this resturant. read more

The food is outstanding; from the warm yeast rolls all the way through to dessert. I had the lamb chops, charbroiled oysters, and spinach and shared the chocolate cake for dessert. The service was great. The ambience was inviting and comfortable. Seating is spacious, you don't feel as though you are too close to other tables and the noise level is just right. You can have a conversation at your table and not feel as though you are shouting. Definitely a great pick for special occasions. I will be back. read more

After going to some of the best steak houses in DC, we were cautiously optimistic. Went for my birthday (cinco de Mayo) and booked outside for 2. Sitting outside is nice if you smoke otherwise you hear the soothing sound of route 7 traffic. Last year we did take out from Joe's seafood prime steak and stone crab. That was phenom as I had a BONE IN FILET MIGNON. So here we were able to get a bone in rib-eye. Appetizer of potato wedges was decent as were just doing drinks. Yes I know we went 4pm on a Wednesday. But what was quite irritating in a place that charges $50++++ for a steak is maintenance people wandering about fixing stuff. Again, they don't OPEN until 4pm. Why have ANY maintenance people there when paying customers are there??? Ok deep breath. Zero bread or appetizer for us to even though it's a $100 per person place. Service is not even mediocre. It's like what ever Management issues clearly apparent I had bone in rib-eye which was ok but not amazing and quite salty. My wife had filet mignon which was moderate but not even a 4/5. I will not return. On my birthday which they knew, no song or cake. Just a bill. In Ashburn. Come on. Advice for management: no maintenance during open hours, pamper guests, make them feel like your life depends on them. Because it does. Pro tip: Go to DC. Your mouth will thank you. read more

What happend to DC Prime? I have been going here for years and every time it's a worse experience. Made reservations over the phone and asked for a spot against the wall away from walkways and kitchen. - of course we get put into the walkthru area. Waiter took 20 min to get our drinks. Refills on water ? wait another 20. white table cloth? forget about it. Bread for the table? sure, wait another 30 minutes. Spent $119 on a bone in ribeye... to only get 3/4 of it full of fat. Steak frits were so salty, it was not eatable. $15 wine was proudly listed at $95 this is how you loose loyal customers. read more

Steaks were excellent as was the service. The ambiance was fairly typical of a good steakhouse. Much enjoyed evening and will return.

Grateful for the continued support of Veterans. Each year, DC Prime offers free steaks to Veterans on Veteran's Day. This year it was a bone in 14 ounce New York strip cooked to order. Mine was a perfect blue. Paired with the steak frites, it was a lovely dinner. Also, I tend to eat alone. I am never uncomfortable, always made to feel welcome by staff. That is unique and appreciated. The GM or assistant GM always personally greet guests which adds to the welcoming atmosphere. DC Prime is worth it. read more

Went here a couple of years ago and was satisfied, but so much this time. I made reservations for my parents and I via open table - if its more than 4 people, you would have to call in, but they rarely pick up their phone. I was able to put in a note while making the online reservation, so luckily they read that and adjusted the reservation. Upon arrival, the host sat us down immediately and was very welcoming. Andrei, our waiter, came by immediately and asked if we wanted any drinks. After he came back with water, we were still deciding on the drinks, so Andrei asked if we wanted extra time to decide, I said please. But after I answered Andrei, my dad decided on his drink immediately and called Andrei over to his side to show him what he wanted. Mind you, my dad's english is not the best, so he pointed to what he wanted. As Andrei was walking to my dad, he gave my dad this irritated look as if he was annoyed.. bombastic side eye much? Minutes later, he came back with the glass and we ordered our food. The food took a while - about 15-20 mins. We ordered filet mingon, lamb chops, ribeye, scallops with some sides. The lamb still had a strong odor to it and was extremely salty. The ribeye was basically burnt on the outside, even though we had asked for medium well, the charcoal was overpowering that the steak was not appetizing at all. Luckily the sides were bland, so it was easing the saltiness of the food. The scallops were fine, a nice soft texture to it, and the mushroom and pasta that came with it wasn't too bad as well. During our dinner, Andrei rarely came to us to check if we were doing fine. He came twice, the first time was when the food came out and he checked to see if the food was fine. Then the second time, he noticed that our water was low, so then he came over to refill the water. After he refilled our water, I noticed that he kept making his way back to a different couple who was Caucasian. He was attentive and all smiley with them, but with our table, he was very serious. It almost felt like he did not want to even engage at all. Not sure if I would return or recommend the waiter to anyone. read more

Came here for my husbands birthday dinner and it was definitely one of the finer places we've been to for steaks. The atmosphere is dark and moody, filled with red and black seating and decor. Our service was hands down 5/5. Our waitress gave us a full rundown of the menu knowing that it was our first time there and was honest with which ways we may like our steak cooked based off of the chef's cooking techniques. We ordered the following: Point Judith Calamari: The ginger dipping sauce it came with was amazing! The perfect mix of sweet and spicy. Lump Crabmeat: Iced over lettuce with a lemon wedge. Lobster Bisque: Rich and creamy with hefty chunks of lobster. Seasonal Half Salad: We loved the artichokes and lemon champagne vinaigrette Filet Mignon: Husband added the house steak sauce and roasted mushrooms/onions on the side. Braised Boneless Short Rib: WOW, I'm not usually a big meat eater but this was beyond tender and melted in my mouth. The cheesy mashed potatoes it came with were amazing and I loved the sauce drizzled on top. Truffle Mac & Cheese: Usually I find the truffle too overpowering but this was made just right. It was such an indulgent side dish that could've been a meal on it's own! Turtle Ice Cream Cake: It was HUGE! We loved the vanilla ice cream with the caramel drizzle, along with the oreo crust but weren't big fans of the chocolate ice cream. We never knew that they sold cigars so we got a few to go for my husband to smoke with my dad afterwards. It's a cool concept that they have an outside area with a firepit for those that want to smoke them there while enjoying a few drinks from the bar! read more

DC prime is constantly a fabulous experience, with great food and great staff. I usually will go here as a "treat yo self" meal, and they never disappoint! My partner and I both had a steak and shared the Au gratin potatoes, as well as the cream corn. Both were fantastic and excellent portions (while still having space for leftovers the next day). The steaks are always cooked to perfection and definitely taste the way the servers describe them. read more

DC Prime was the last stop on our two-day team building, booze filled adventure with my wonderful work team. I know how my team rolls, so my expectations were above-average for sure. Tbh it honestly doesn't look like much from the outside, but once you step through the doors, it's a beautiful steak house. We had a room in the back for our fairly large party - 20+. It's white table cloth dining with a door to their patio where things kicked off with a happy hour. I haven't drank alcohol in almost a decade, but the rest of the team enjoyed cocktails and wine and the staff was efficient in keeping up as the drinks flowed. Once we were seated for dinner, this staff really began to shine. We had a lead waiter who had great command over the room and a handful of others keeping drinks topped and getting orders in - all while coming off kind and present in a way that wasn't overwhelming. Many sides and apps were ordered (did not manage to capture pics of these), including truffle mac & cheese, Brussels sprouts, seafood towers, steak frites, scalloped and mashed potatoes... I tried at least a bite of all and was absolutely satisfied. The steak frites were massive and had such an amazing crunch to them - highly recommend. I had a personal side of the pork belly before my main course - it was glazed to perfection with a bit of sweetness and the fatty bites were a melt in your mouth situation. Loved it. Went with the rib eye filet for my main course - ordered medium rare and it definitely came out a hair over what I was expecting, but still consisted of some great bites towards the middle. Ended up finishing with a crème brûlée for desert - hard top and creamy bottom served with a side of berries and a ginger snap on top. It was a massive serving and I could only get through half by then, but it was amazing. read more

Just a Longhorn trying to charge Ruth Chris prices. Steaks. Some orders came out overcooked while others were under. Creamed corn and lobster Mac were watery. Giveaway should have been that it was completely empty on a Saturday night. Though I'm not sure why it took so long to get our food. Also, don't wear anything nice because the sprinklers go off at off 10:45 on Saturday. My friends and I learned that the hard way Would not recommend. read more

From the time we entered the restaurant everyone was pleasant. We were greeted right a way and they have a coat area. The restaurant was warm and comfy. The Christmas decor was beautiful. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. He gave great suggestions. Food: The hot dinner rolls are fabulous. French onion soup was lovely. Lamb chops cooked to perfection-medium rare. Next time in the city will definitely dine here. read more

Been here three times. Excellent martinis, nice but somewhat dated ambiance, excellent steaks and sides and great wine. WhThe servers ruined both experiences. I'd like to give them 5 stars, but the service lacked a little for all three visits. Not horrible, but not as good as you'd expect at a nice steak house. We'll definitely be back though! read more

First let me start with the only reason they didn't get 5 stars is because I went for my birthday and in the reservation it was made clear this was a birthday dinner. Dinner at @dcprimesteak . We started w| the steak fries trio : Rosemary duck fat, BBQ spice, & Parmesan truffle paired w| truffle aioli and house steak sauce. They were all delicious but my favorite was probably BBQ w| the truffle aioli. The sauce was MAGICAL!! Our entree was the Tomahawk w| lobster Mac n cheese and crispy Brussels. The steak was AMAZINGGGGG! Perfect MR and it was so juicy and flavorful. This was truly a quality tomahawk very little fat. The Mac n cheese was so creamy and the lobster was tender. The Brussel sprouts were perfect too. This meal was honestly perfection from beginning to end. The rum punch was also FIRE!!!!! My only complaint is that we went for my birthday and were notified but I didn't receive anything so that was disappointing but overrall dinner was excellent.

Reserved a table at DC Prime Steaks for a special birthday dinner. The service was excellent to include a special birthday card, birthday dessert, and a in depth explanation of the Pittsburg style cooked steak. The highlights of the meal were the homemade bread and butter, Scallops and noodle dish, and the shoe string fries. The steak was enjoyable but a touch too charred for our usual liking. The setting was perfect for a special dinner and the time between courses was perfect for conversation and laughs. Try DC Prime for yourself! read more

I came here for a birthday dinner. We had a reservation in place so we were able to get seated right away. The restaurant looks nice and looks like a place for a good date night as well. Service was great, our waitress was very nice and helpful. We ordered some appetizers and steaks. They gave us a bread basket to munch on while we waited for our orders. Bread was yummy. Appetizers were very good. Steak was cooked medium rare as I asked. It comes out looking burnt but it was not. Everything went well, I had a good experience. I just feel like everything was a bit overpriced for the quality of the food. read more

One of the best (Top 3 for sure) and the most expensive dinner I've ever eaten. Rarely does a meal of this price live up to the bill, this one was absolutely worth it. Wait staff was amazing, great service amazing recommendations. Best porkbelly I have ever eaten. So tender and crisp. A must have if your eating here. The steaks were perfect, the Japanese Wagyu was like butter, the porterhouse was delicious topped mine with mushrooms and onions and had the add the truffle butter as well. The lobster was the best I have ever eaten, so sweet, no rubber feeling just plump and juicy, paired perfect with the steak. The cheesecake is also top of the line and made in house. I wish I could eat here every night, absolutely love this place. read more

Ok, steak houses are so common at this point that little differents them. This one, though, does it ALL right! From cocktails to apps to main courses. Helps when you're working with the right bartender, though - and Chelsea is the right bartender! Perfect every time. Had a cucumber martini with Hendricks and St Germain... Awesome! Even the house wines are excellent. Shared an iceberg lettuce salad with my wife, there we shared my ribeye and her tuna. I have to say that it blew out benchmark Palm entrees away. Must say, this is our new go-to steak house! read more

It was the sweetest. read more

This place is extremely overpriced for what it is. The service was slow which wasn't terrible I suppose so we could have conversation around the table but it would be nice to have a fresh drink water or whatever more often. I figured since I'd never be able to afford to eat here again that I'd go big and I ordered the Tomahawk ribeye, order medium rare and cooked nicely. My wife got a strip steak ordered medium and it was still moo'ing and other than throwing it back on the grill and bringing it back when closer to requested temperature they didn't do anything with the bill, or a free dessert, side dish, offer a drink, nada! Plus they took her plate which she had decent portions of sides on the plate that were not included and they didn't come back with the steak they put it back on a new plate. I gotta say for $125 for just the one steak, I'd rather go to Ozzie's or Sweetwater and order their ribeye and save $85. The sides as they were all "a la carte" we're very good but also very expensive, but did feed the table since we got 4 sides. Offer Mocktails for those that like the feel of having a drink but can't, whether they be pregnant or whatever. Singles out some people when there isn't much of an option. Great to say I went but I'd never see the need to go again. read more

DC Prime Steaks - Tomahawk Bone - In Ribeye* - Steakhouses Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

Good, but not worth the price, with waiters trying to upsale for almost every item. Service average at best. Won't go back.

There is a reason every other review highlights how AWFUL the service is. There is no need to pay $200+ per person to be so disrespected and exposed to the hostile environment of this place. My verdict is: Food: 4.7/5 Service: 0.5/5 Food: it was good, steaks very cooked well. Lamb chops were delicious. Service: it was AWFUL and almost ruined our dinner. To say the least, our water was not refilled once throughout the 2 hours of dining. To say the most our waiter Shakira started yelling and disrespecting an elderly member of their crew right in front of us. When you pay the amount of money you do here you expect a top notch service, however this behavior from our waiter really set the tone for the rest of the dinner. It was an awful experience, not sure who hires these people but boy did it make me shed a tear at the table. There is no professionalism whatsoever. Will not be coming back. read more
