    Great food and great service. The steaks are the best around but this time we went with the Washington Prime Burger and the eggplant parm. Both excellent!

    Experience was completed ruined by a drunk man a couple tables away yelling obscenities and speaking extremely loud and vulgar while I was trying to have dinner with my girlfriend for her birthday. Even as people from other tables were looking over and clearly disturbed, the staff did absolutely nothing to address the issue. No halfway decent restaurant would tolerate this. I also ordered my steak medium well and it came out rare. Extremely disappointed.

    The Ribye steak was superb - packed with flavor and cooked just right. The cocktails were great - you get what you pay for. The bartender was friendly and attentive. Always enjoy visiting Washington Prime.
