I love to celebrate the end of a tour (and savor fond memories) with a martini and a prime steak grilled Pittsburgh rare.  What's your favorite steak house in the downtown DC area?

Jessie

My favorite;

DC chophouse and brewery is 7th between E and F


Ruth's chris and mortons are also excellent. They are chains but still great.

Bourbon Steak at the Four Seasons is good. Also you can't go wrong with Ruth's Chris at Dupont Circle.

Definitely Bobby Van's. I haven't been there in a while, but the Prime Rib on K street used to be one of the finest in the city.

Charlie Palmer's is amazing, as is BLT.

The Prime Rib.

Morton's

My back deck....I can grill a better porterhouse than any of those places.

This place wins hands down. Having gone to culinary School and Sommelier school. I have come to appreciate when a place goes corporate but still maintains the product, service and management to the highest level possible. It is so typical to see management start to cut corners so they can stay under budget and get a bonus at the end of the year.

It aint cheap but steakhouses (especially corporate ones) tend to be the most overpriced restaurnats along with French and high end Sushi places.

My house of course...with an excellent cabernet!

My mouth is watering already!  Chilled martini glasses, Grey Goose, proper olives and a steak so big it's spilling over the plate.  Heaven.

Ray's is tops....above Morton's in my book

ditto bdaboom, and Wegmans has some prime cuts worth their weight in gold....

J&G Steakhouse: (A Chef Jean-Georges' restaurant located in the W Hotel)
Bourbon Steak:  Four Seasons Hotel, Georgetown (Chef Michael Mina)
Charlie Palmer:  Capitol Hill
Ray's:  Arlington  (Never been there...Heard it is quite good)

Hope you enjoy your stay!

Sincerely,

Syd

Brazilian steak house

Best porterhouse I ever had.

Does Ray's the Steaks still exist?  I went to the location that I went to once as Ray's the Steaks and it is now Ray's Hell Burger (Obama likes to go there).  They do a pretty good burger.  Did Ray's the Steaks relocate?

The old location has now become Ray's Hell Burgers. Ray's The Steaks moved about 5 mins away to the 2300 block of Wilson.  It Rocks.
Best Steaks around. IMH)

I just love Steak Ta-Ta, and it looks like you are serving a very nice size portion.


Thank you
2010 = 28

They use some of the trimmings from Ray's the steak for the hamburgers at Hell Burger. I have never been to Ray's the Steak, but have heard very good things about them. Based on their burgers at Hell Burger it would be worth a go.

Without a doubt...Outback.  And you gotta try the bloomin' onion.  Now that is good eatin'.

You can not go wrong with any of these.
