   Lovely restaurant with well spaced tables. Prices are high for what we ordered. Food was very tasty but not outstanding compared to other high end steak restaurants. Prime rib is a bit overrated, and was cooked medium, instead of medium rare. The potato skins were especially good. We ordered the full cut (at $137). More than enough for two. We asked to have the leftovers wrapped to take home. There was plenty of meat still on the bone. When we got to our room, we noticed the bone was not included. That is not acceptable. If there was uncertainty on the part of the staff, they should have asked. (At some level of fairness, I could have made a specific point about the bone, but in a place like this I would have expected them to just do it) My partner has had her pancreas removed and must be careful about intaking too much fat/oil. She made this known, yet they served her salad with the dressing mixed in, not on the side. We rated service at 3 stars for the reasons above. They were attentive and engaged and polite. Lastly, upon making the reservation we answered questions about food restrictions and if it was a special occasion. What is the point, if the special occasion (birthday in this instance) isn’t even recognized, or the food restrictions aren’t known to the staff? This is a long review. This was our experience. Without some of the faux pas’, the ratings would have been higher for certain.

   Way overpriced for the quality. Better off at other steakhouses in town.

   We arrived very early for our reservation and were treated with the best customer service. Our server went above and beyond for us while we celebrated. He let us take our time to fully enjoy our evening. The food was cooked to perfection. The ambiance was ideal for a romantic evening out!

   Henry (server) and Kim (bartender) were awesome, as usual. All our food was delicious, and I love the iced martinis. I really hope lunch is successful for you'all. Please market your lunch on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X (Twitter), wherever you can! Lunch is so fun at Prime Rib DC!

   Outrageously expensive. Nothing justified cost compared to other, local steakhouses.

   The food was beautifully prepared and delicious . Service was very good, non- obtrusive but attentive . We asked for the half round table next to the piano when we made the reservation and that is where we were seated. It was vey appreciated that we were not rushed and asked if we wanted to relax with our drinks before the menus were brought over. A wonderful evening. We did notice that the prices had increased dramatically since our last visit. We just hope the Resturant is still open the next time we come to DC.
