Made it to Washington Prime, and truly loved my dining experience. The ambiance is laid back, which I love, It has a feel of a NYC Steakhouse without being too stuffy. Great place for a semi casual date, business meeting, or solo flyer diner like myself The service was amazing through and through. I had the New York Strip, truffled mashed and horseradish sauce on the side, OMG steak cooked to perfection, rested the right amount and melted like butter. Libations, a glass of Il Bastardo, and for dessert, a slice of key lime pie with a smoked peanut butter ol fashioned. Everything just went down smooth, adequately priced (it's a stake house not applebees,) I will be back for sure. read more

Washington Prime has fantastic food and really good service. The night we visited, it wasn't busy, but we decided to sit at the bar. The service was friendly and good. The ambiance of the restaurant is relaxed and nice. We ordered an appetizer and a main dish. - The appetizer was SIZZLING, THICK-SLAB BACON with a relish of pickled dill heirloom tomatoes and Vidalia onion, topped with umami bomb steak sauce. The flavor was amazing. - The main dish was AHI TUNA STEAK seared rare, with ginger rice, napa cabbage, miso hot, mustard, and a sesame-soy reduction. This was also very good. I highly recommend Washington Prime. read more

Great steaks at a busy restaurant with casual ambience. I had been looking forward to steak for some time and this was just what I needed. I got the filet mignon and triple baked potato. Both were absolutely delicious. We also got a filet mignon Oscar style, which includes crab meat on top. Also delicious. There were many large parties and some in sectioned off areas so this place has plenty of space. Overall, the service was good and food was delicious definitely would recommend. read more

Service was excellent and we were lucky to snag outdoor seating on a recent warm evening. Our salad was good but the filet mignon was wayyyyy overcooked, which I wasn't expecting given the price. I'd highly recommend the pepper sauce. read more

Chose this for my 59th birthday dinner.. simply, great choice! Atmosphere is great combination of laid back with elegance and style. Great semi-circle booths, great service and cool music (be prepared for some all time greats from the 70's). Loved the California roll (teen son-"how do they make it taste so good?"), quality ingredients and preparation. Awesome calamari... not spicy, don't be scurred! Fresh clams on half shell, loved 'em. Then the main attraction: filet mignon w side Maine lobster tail. Not eqsy to hit medium rare perfectly and not overcook the lobster, but, they did it! Nice desert too w bananas foster cake..go, enjoy, repeat! read more

During a weekend in Norwalk, my boyfriend and I stumbled across this place by chance. We had planned to celebrate our anniversary at Match, but by lunch time, were hungry for lunch and needed something that opened before 5 PM. This was the perfect spot for us. It's not too fancy where you feel bad for wearing jeans, but nice enough that it scratched the romantic itch. We visited during the holidays around lunch time; the decor was off the charts Christmas in the most wonderful way. There was a musician playing guitar and singing, but it was genuinely pleasant. I don't love live music in a restaurant, but noise was controlled enough that I could still have a conversation. Once I saw the specials menu, I knew I had picked the right place. "12 Days Of Truffle" -- yes, truffle means prices of everything skyrocket, but it's worth it to me. We ordered the King Salmon Tartar appetizer off the truffle menu, which was delicious. The salmon was super fresh and a good portion, too. We also ordered the Bone Marrow appetizer, which simply melts in your mouth. And the little pile of chicken liver that came with it was astounding. I would 100% order that again despite the price. For our meals, my boyfriend ordered a waguy steak off the truffle menu. I ordered the brunch burger (sans egg). We both loved our meals! (I will say, the burger was cooked to a medium, not a medium rare like I requested. But I'm not a stickler about that.) Of course I got a side of truffle parm french fries because, if you couldn't tell, I love truffle. Those were great, too! I don't have a single complaint about any of the food or service I received. The staff (waiters, bartenders, and front-of-house) was incredibly nice. The vibes inside were perfect. I will absolutely be going back! read more

Service was good.. I had the eggs Benedict. It should be a fairly easy one to prepare. Yet the first eggs were totally overcooked. Totally solidified! Once I mentioned it I was served a new set of eggs - these ones were totally undercooked. The egg whites did not properly form and solidify around the yolk - and the yolk was totally runny and the pouch was full of water. I mentioned it to the server - but I doubt that the feedback made it to the kitchen. The bill arrived and no "apology" or even a visit from "the chef"... needless to mention that me and my wife and another table of 3 were the only ones here.. Coming back ??? NO THANK YOU!!!! read more

I went there last Saturday night, the service was good, but we sat out in this little plastic tent, life thing on the sidewalk and I understand that it was it had been snowing last week and it's on a high traffic road, but the windows the dirt was kicked on. It was disgusting, which led you to start looking around the restaurant. The carpeting was filthy. The windows were filthy. The place is dirty.. I expected more we got the tomahawk steak for two ordered medium. It came rare. I just ate an end piece and let my guest take the rest home. You know I guess I expect too much for you know maybe it's me. I expect a little better than this for 300 bucks and you'd have to be blind not to see how dirty the place was very disappointing. read more

The perfect brunch spot! Great service along with nice quality food and solid drinks. What more can you ask for ? We had a very nice, cozy booth which made our experience nice and inviting. It's nice to know the restaurant carefully reads the comments section and did us a solid with the great table. The shrimp cocktail was a 10. Super fresh shrimp and they're a very nice size, served up on ice with delicious horseradish sauce... so good. I had the Chicken & Waffles and they were very good. My friend had the Breakfast Poutine, which she loved and took home a ton of leftovers! My husband enjoyed the Farmer's Toast and everyone was happy! The host that greeted us when we walked in couldn't have been more friendly and kind. Great place! I will definitely be back. And easy metered parking is available at the municipal lot across the street. read more

Sorry folks, for $160, a porterhouse should be great, not good. It was an interesting experience, but I wouldn't go back for the steak, as some of the other options seem more appealing. Toss a bread basket on a table as your prices are steep and simple things go far. read more

Washington Prime - Ribeye with lobster - New American Near Me - South Norwalk, Connecticut

Delicious! The place felt very cool and was very crowded. I highly recommend a reservation. We went on a Saturday night and it was full. They did have some TVs with the game going but I didn't feel like a sports bar at all. Our waitress wasn't the most attentive but the busting staff was right there if you did need something. For example the wrong dessert was delivered to us and after a couple minutes a bust boy brought the correct one without us having to ask someone for help. We got the spinach + artichoke dip which came with toasted bread. This was great and the toasted bread for some reason made it different than other places. The artichoke dip had big pieces of artichoke but not big floppy pieces of spinach. We both got steaks (filet mignon and ny strip). Both came out perfectly cooked and I thought the chard outside layer added to the flavor. I highly recommend getting a sauce with a steak. I loved the peppercorn one and my partner liked the steak sauce but did not like the clarified smoked butter. We got mashed potatoes as a side which we enjoyed. They tasted like gold potatoes and made a perfect bite with a piece of steak, sauce, and potatoes! We got the apple situation and ny style cheesecake for dessert which were both lovely. Overall I think it was a little too pricey for what you got. The fact that we have a gift card will make us go back again. read more

Washington Prime had the most hype and reviews to back up it being the best steakhouse in all of Connecticut but unfortunately between the miscommunication with a person in are party not getting their drink, the food being only "good" enough for the best steak house and the bathroom having questionable sense of decor it was really less then a stellar steak house. The service was a switch between one guy and another guy so it was never clear on who our waiter was so that could have been a problem in a way. Ultimately for the best steak house we were sadly expecting a lot more for the price we paid, because at that price the quality should have been way better than what we were given. Don't mistake the food was good but calling it the best steak house in Connecticut and saying it has stellar food is sadly a reputation it doesn't deserve at the quality we were expecting to get. read more

My team and I got together to get dinner while away for a team meeting. When I arrived I had to circle to find parking. When I walked in, the place was buzzing. Scott was our server and he was to the point and made no errors for our large group. We started with appetizers of calamari and deviled eggs to name a few and everything was good. For my drink I went with the lemon drop martini and it was very good. I had to send the second one back because it was sour but the 1st one was on point. For my meal I got the Thai Cioppino and it was so tasty. I enjoyed the options of seafood. For dessert I got the keylime pie and it was amazing. My team really enjoyed their food. We had a good time. read more

Had a business dinner here one night and all we could rave about was the food!! I've heard great things about this restaurant before but I did not have the chance to come here but I am so glad to have the opportunity. My colleague was having bone marrow for the first time and I joked that she was getting her bone marrow transplant (Medical joke). Since it was her first time, I was afraid she wouldn't like it. Honestly, it was my best bone marrow ever and my colleague LOVED it. It was presented beautifully and the meat was sweet and savory. Still thinking about it to this day. The service was also quick and attentive to our table. I'm coming back to try more dishes!! read more

Every single time, this place gets it right, Food is perfectly prepared and the Waiter never hawked over our table but there as needed.

If you come for dinner, prepare to use your phone's flashlight because you won't be able to read the menu otherwise - it's really dark in here! Haha ambiance We had a wonderful waiter and the service is really nice here. Food is mostly really good too! We went hard for the steaks, trying almost everything. Beef Wellington: everyone loved the filet mignon, but the puff pastry part, not so much. It didn't stay crispy and firm enough to really enjoy with the steak. When I cut it, everything had already started to become wet. Still, very happy to finally try beef Wellington for the first time! Between the porterhouse for two and the ribeye, definitely the porterhouse tasted better. The sauces were mostly a miss for me, didn't really need it. The oysters are soo fresh and delicious though! Especially the salty and cheesy roasted oysters - flavorful and reminded of the way New Orleans does it. Definitely recommend trying the raw and cooked ones. read more

We tried to make online reservations for 7p.m Saturday evening to coincide with our other plans. No luck. We called the restaurant and it was explained that there were only 2 dinner seatings, and 7p.m was not an option. With some shuffling of plans, we booked a table for 6 p.m. dinner seating, being told we only had the table for 2 hours. The place was neither full or packed with occupied tables both when we arrived and when we left. We were warmly greeted and seated upon arrival. Water was brought (choice of tap, still, sparkling) and our waiter soon came over to ask about drinks and recite daily specials. While the wine selection seems plentiful, as a beer drinker I would have liked to see more draft or bottled choices. I got the WP lager and although it was o.k., I would not look to get again. I liked the menu variety which includes dishes one does not readily find elsewhere. For appetizers we ordered the Oysters Rockefeller and the the thick slab bacon. The oysters (4) were beautifully presented and tasted fresh and delicious. The bacon (1 slab cut) was full of flavor and the accompanying sauce and tomato and onion was a hit. For entrees: The Beef Wellington was cooked perfectly, cut like butter and had a crispy exterior. Hints of rosemary were detected which was a different take. Very satisfying. The braised short ribs were fork tender but perhaps needed a touch more moisture or simple gravy. The truffled parsnip puree was a lovely and unexpected standout in this dish and well complemented the short ribs. The broccoli rabe for me was not the best pairing at all. I would have preferred to see carrots, acorn squash, cabbage, green beans. Service was attentive and good until we were given dessert menus and reminded that our 2 hour time limit was almost up. We wanted to enjoy an apertif and settle our stomachs before a possible dessert. We felt unnecessarily rushed as the table next to us sat empty as did many. This tells me volume and not the dining experience is what is important to this establishment. What a shame. Restrooms were adequately clean but hallway and walls outside seemed to need cleaning and care. Parking in lot across street was full upon our arrival and departure so we parked elsewhere and walked. While the website states parking will be validated, no one asked or offered this perk on our visit. I would not be hesitant to give the menu choices and what we ordered 5 stars, however, too many of the little details are lacking to give the overall experience 5 stars, especially considering the high prices. read more

Went here for an early Mother's Day brunch on a Sunday. FYI, street parking was free on Sunday directly outside the restaurant! We sat in the heated terrace and it was very warm. We had made a reservation but there were plenty of empty tables when we went around 2pm. I had the carne ranchero and it was delicious - came with beautiful (maybe homemade?!) flour tortillas, beans w/ white cheese, guac, steak, and 2 perfectly poached eggs. It was kinda pricey but I'd say worth it, as the steak was delicious and I was able to take home about 1/3 leftover. My mom had the prime dip which was good not great; the flavor was delicious but it wasn't shaved meat more like largely ground. Also truffle fries... honey, truffle?! Where?!? None to be found/tasted! We both had a blood orange mimosa which was delicious and a solid pour. Finished the meal with the deep dish key lime pie, which was sweet and tart. Service was great as well. This place was very nice - good slightly nicer spot to go for an occasion or maybe with out of towners. Would recommend and come again! read more

We went here for the first time- they've been here 10 years which is a lot in restaurant years. We chose it to celebrate my 3,000 first time to a restaurant! The manager, Webster, was very nice. We were seated in a booth with the Beatles by us and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. My Caymus Conundrum was wonderful and they have quite a few good wines by the glass. We ordered the lobster toast from their 10 year anniversary menu and the brioche and sauce were excellent but I did not care for the lobster ( tasted frozen). Our ribeye though was excellent- cooked to the right temperature, with a huge baked potato, grilled asparagus and a very good chimichurri. One steak was enough for 2 of us AND we had leftover. The chocolate bomb dessert was very good and so creamy. Will come back- service and food was all good ! read more

Came for the pre fixed Valentine's Day menu. Options were good and there many ways to upgrade the entrees. Our server was attentive and answered our questions while giving recommendations. I started with a generous portion on Ahi Tuna tar tar. My wife had the the Caesar salad. We both had steaks for our entree. My wife had the pre fixed sliced 8 oz NY strip and I upgraded to the 22 oz rib eye. Both steaks were cooked perfectly and came with mashed and asparagus. There was also a veal Demi glaze that was excellent. We finished our meals with a NY cheesecake and a flourless chocolate cake. All in all the food was very good and the atmosphere was good. We would like to go back when the full menu is available. A very nice Valentine's Day celebration. read more

We stopped in on an early Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was not too busy. The service was quick and good, the restaurant was a bit on the dark side. We ate at the high top tables by the bar area. To start off we had the thick slab of bacon which was really good. For our dinner, my son and I decided to share the Porterhouse for 2 at a medium rare temperature. The steak was cooked perfectly and tasted even better. It was served with some horseradish sauce which unfortunately I did not necessarily care for; good thing it was served on the side and not all over the steak. I ordered some charred asparagus and my son had the fries. Both sides were really good. We both enjoyed our meal and definitely will come back. read more

First time here and it was a very positive experience! From the moment I walked in the door to the time we finished our meal, it was top notch. I love the option to eat outside of course in these weird times. I had the short rib and passed on the truffle parsnip purée because I hate truffle anything. They were kind enough to swap out the parsnips for french fries and they were delicious. But let me tell you about the short rib. It was perfect. It was deliciously moist as a good short rib should and not too salty. It's remarkable to me that some restaurants can mess up a short rib dish but they do. I was expecting this one to be very good as this is a premium steakhouse and I was not disappointed. My dining partners had steak and they liked them too. They were cooked perfectly. Oh I forgot to mention the starters. We had shrimp and a spinach artichoke dip. I could've eaten this as my entree. Lots of cheese and packed with flavor. Our waiter was great. I wish I remembered his name but he was very attentive and made us feel special. I highly recommend based on my experience. read more

Great food! Went in March for a birthday and we thoroughly enjoyed both the ambiance and food. The restaurant has a few sections to satisfy different groups of people, which I appreciate. We were seated in a private room, which was perfect for us. The menu is not extensive, but each item sounds delectable. We got two salads, the cauliflower steak, as well as a regular steak. Salads were basic but delicious. The steak was apparently very delicious and cooked to perfection. I wish my cauliflower steak wasn't just a head of cauliflower chopped in half and roasted. I personally believe if it had been sliced and then roasted I'd have less of a difficult time chewing and slicing through the food. I'm not the chef however so what do I know lol. The chimichurri sauce and vinegar grapes were surprisingly delicious and paired perfectly with the fingerling potatoes and cauliflower, which was otherwise very bland. Hopefully they're able to take suggestions and keep these things in mind while curating and editing future menus. Prices were reasonable for a nice steakhouse, so no complaints. I did order a wine that never showed up, so that was a bummer, however when we told our waiter he was very quick to adjust that from our bill. Overall, I would recommend this for a nice occasion, or even just when you want some good food and don't mind paying steakhouse prices! ps parking can be tough, as it's right in SoNo. There is a parking garage right around the corner however so that could be a good alternative if you don't mind paying and don't want to walk far at night. There is also a small parking lot across the street, but I don't believe it's meant for guests of the steakhouse. Just something to keep in mind. read more

I continue to be amazed at how well some of the restaurants are adapting to all the covid rules and regulations placed on them and still make it work so beautifully. Washington Prime is one of them and a true stand out! We have visited here before covid and enjoyed ourselves. However, it was for a quick bite. I left saying I want to come back to enjoy/try more before writing a review. We had a special Saturday night dinner here (without children) and it was a delight! We were seated on the heated patio area which they have transformed to be the most wonderfully warm and inviting space. Having seen it pre-covid I would dare say it is even better!! The have heat lamps above each table and the enclosed space is colorful, warm, and inviting to sit at. There are many wonderful seating options at this restaurant and this is yet another one. Service was great. Our waiter took care of us well and made sure we had everything we needed. He was friendly and efficient. All other staff was also wonderful too.....This really is a well run restaurant! We started with a cocktail and wine- I had the "figgin delicious" which is a rum based drink. It was just the right amount of strong and slightly sweet. Well presented with a large cube and a lemon twist. We had the New England clam chowder which was creamy, chock full of clams, and hit the spot. Then entrees were the lamb chops done rare (per request) with spinach risotto and carrots. This dish was really good- well seasoned and just great flavors....so delicious. It was a larger sized portion so was only able to finish half (had to save room for dessert). The other dish was the Beef Wellington. This was the only slight miss of the night. It was suppose to be medium rare and came out medium well. My husband is pretty flexible with meat temps so he ate it and said he enjoyed it. That came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. We also got sides of cauliflower and macaroni and cheese. We ended with espresso and cappuccino and the apple cake dessert. It was a perfect dessert to split at the end of a larger meal- light and sweet. Washington Prime is doing a stellar job during this time and really should get high praise for all their efforts. Thank you for the wonderful evening! read more

CROOKED practice. The waiter essentially ripped us off. He pressed my guest into getting the wagyu ribeye. He literally badgered him about which ribeye he wanted until it was super uncomfortable. The regular menu ribeye would have sufficed for sure, but the waiter kept pressing. My guest was embarrassed at this point so he gave in and said "sure". WELL, the entree alone was $165, and the waiter never disclosed the price. That's a real garbage thing to do. Food was good and it's a cool location. Ruined a good night. read more
