I discovered this great lounge/bar for lunch recently and now eat there at least twice a week. Great value, other diners are fun and friendly, and the servers and bartenders are extremely friendly. Where else can you get a salad (or gourmet fries or onion rings,) choice of multiple burgers (steak, salmon, lamb, turkey, veggie) and a milk shake an... More

The Lounge at Bourbon Steak was the place to go for our third anniversary. The service was first class and the food memorable. The waitress gave us a romantic table overlooking the C&O Canal. The quality and presentation of the meal were premium class and one really shouldn't mind paying a little more for top quality food. I didn't mind... More

We ate here as a family and had a great time, although I'd describe it as targeted at business diners. The service was first class and very attentive. The food was excellent and a wonderful wine list. An expensive evening but memorable. More

We tried various items from the menu from oysters to shrimp to sashimi. It was all very fresh, wonderfully executed and simply delicious! More

Food is delicious with smaller portion. Waiters are very tactful and helpful in helping to choose your meal. This place is good for business meeting. Noise level is low, space between tables have enough room to insure privacy of your conversation. More

After having an incredible meal and excellent service at the Scottsdale Bourbon Steak in the Fairmont Princess we were eager to see how the DC outlet stacked up. We were terribly disappointed. It took 20 minutes from the time we were seated to get a drink and we had to specifically ask for the truffles dinner rolls we observed other... More

So, the idea of duck fat french fries makes me all tingly and happy, and resulted in a slightly inebriated visit. The place was PACKED but we were lucky and snagged a small bar table. Wifey ordered the lobster corn dogs, I got the fries, and a vodka tonic each. The corn dogs were fishy. The fries of which I... More

The best service experience. The food was amazing but, the in house made cheese was out of this world. The price tag was well worth it. More

Had Christmas Eve dinner here this year. Ambiance was beautiful, service was terrific! The food was TERRIBLE!! For the Four Season's standard, I could not believe how awful our meal was. We had to send one of the dinner's back to the kitchen twice! Can't believe the chef would allow the pork dish to be served, first undercooked and then... More

As I have still not had an opportunity to speak with you, I would like to have a personal conversation with you about this incident so that I can share your feedback with our chef. It is of... More
