text: So let's start by putting DC Steak House into perspective relative to their price: Due to the pricing of their plates DC Steak House is competing with Flemming's, Ruth's Chris, Morton's, City Hall and even The Keg. \n\nUpon entering the establishment we were warmly greeted, quickly seated and the waiter was on top of taking our drink order. However it was a bit unusual that the waiter never went over the menu, never asked if we had any questions or made any type of presentation. He simply just kept checking with us until we were prepared to tell him what we wanted. \n\nWe decided to order calamari (as the appetizer) two Filet Mignon's, a loaded baked potato, steak fries and asparagus for an extra side. The calamari was slow to come out of the kitchen but was pretty good - I've had better, I've had a lot worse. Next up were the Filets (which took even longer to serve) that had a perfect grill mark presentation. Our sides appeared to be thrown on the plate and the \"loaded\" baked potato is a plain potato, still wrapped in foil, that you must finish preparing yourself. \n\nThe steak was decent tasting and they use a very high quality cut. After I made my own loaded baked potato, and removed the foil, I realized the skin wasn't even salted, grilled or.... made that appealing. Our asparagus was over salted and... well ... I just wasn't very impressed with anything thus far.\n\nAs a matter of fact - If I had tasted these steaks VS. ....dare I say .... Outback that Outback would come out ahead in the flavor category (even though they don't use a high quality cut) and it's 1/3 the cost. When you start comparing the other restaurants mentioned DC Steak House can not compete in any category (Food, Service, Decor, Drinks, Bar...) \n\nSummary: If you want the best or need to impress then go to any other steak house mentioned in my first paragraph. If you want to eat here to say you've experienced it - then go for it. It's not bad.
