Best Steakhouses in Washington DC

It was Valentine’s Day so we knew it would be crowded and loud. So we were cool with that. However the food was not up to its usual standards. The lamb chops were under cooked and the sides were luke warm. We didn’t want to send it back but it was just too much going on and we didn’t want to wait too much longer. We love Maestro’s but will probably NEVER go on Valentine’s Day again.

Hadn’t been to Morton’s in Reston Town Center in years. Went for our Anniversary on Valentine’s Day and had the $179 dinner for 2. It was FABULOUS. Steak was melt in your mouth, lobsters were perfect size, au gratin potatoes and creamed corn delicious and the hot chocolate sundae dessert was phenomenal. Service was top notch. 9 oz pour of wine at $25 was disappointing price-wise. All in all we loved it and will be back soon.

We had a great time at this restaurant, my first experience with this style. We visited on Valentine's Day and had a short wait, but the bar kept us entertained until our table was ready. It’s best to make a reservation in advance for special occasions. The food was enjoyable.

I was very impressed with how well the staff handled the Valentine’s Day crowd. Despite the high volume of guests, they remained calm, organized, and efficient in getting people seated. While it seemed like the restaurant may have been slightly overbooked—possibly due to a syncing issue between the OpenTable app and the website—the team managed the situation well. Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience. The food was excellent, and both the servers and meat handlers provided great service. Even during such a busy time, everything ran smoothly, making for an enjoyable evening. Definitely a place worth visiting again!

Javier was an amazing waiter. Kept an eye on us without being overbearing. Food was amazing and portions were appropriate.
