  • Hello to all my fellow foodies! So we've all seen the food shows like Dives and drive ins?... Not sure of its name since I stopped watching after going to the recommended places....and finding out that that host guy definitely was not eating the same food us average Joes were.. So.... I tried watching CHECK PLEASE... Thinking 3 impartial every day people were reviewing it... Hmmmmm. Perfect example .... DC STEAKHOUSE! Everything on tv looked so yummy and everyone enjoyed everything.. They must have know they were coming and made sure everything tasted good because what those 4 people on that show experienced was NOT what we experienced! We made a reservation for our Anniversary and since it was a very early reservation had the pick of tables... The Hostess was super sweet and wished us a Happy Anniversary which was lovely of her. We had a nice table by the window... Perfect to watch the incoming storms and of course the passer Byers Our server was very nice ( I chose not to mention names) and he was happy to answer our questions as this was our first time there. On the plus side.... The meals come with an EXCELLENT salad... You must get the blue cheese dressing... Chunky and lots of flavor.....and a choice of a loaded baked potatoe (up fee) but if you like baked potatoes you must get it loaded... They bring you a dish with the sour cream, cheese, bacon, onion so you can create your own or sweet potatoe fries ( also good). My husband ordered the sirloin steak med rare and I ordered the ribeye also med rare. The food arrived and they had his steak on my plate and reversed... Easy fix but... Come on... Such a basic mistake in the kitchen? My husband tasted his steak and stopped to add salt and pepper!!!! He found his steak a little chewy... So I cut a few pieces from the edge and sampled a bite of mine.. No way!!! A steakhouse does not know how to season a steak? Completely bland... Now, I realize one never wants to over season a good piece of beef.. One should only season to enhance its natural favors. I explained to our server and he graciously took it back and I instead ordered the same steak as my husband... Requesting a little more seasoning.. Not wanting to take a chance on another cut A woman came out of the kitchen (manager??, never identified herself) holding the plate that was returned trying to explain the chef only seasons the middle and not the edges and did I want to try a piece from the middle? SERIOUSLY??? REALLY? That plate has been sitting in the kitchen for 5 minutes with who knows who looking and or touching it. I suggested she take a bite of the steak and tell me what she thought... She didn't... But expected me to? I declined. By the time I got the second steak I had filled up on the sweet potatoe fries... so when the steak came I took a bite just to see if it was seasoned... And it was... Not much but not tasteless. My cut was far tougher than my husbands also I wonder if this is a new chef or a new beef supplier? A couple cons... Other than the obvious tasteless beef... Although must give credit where credit is due.... Steak was cooked perfectly. I would have liked to see the server come to the table a couple more times to check on refreshments or just to say Hi... Just checking :) The bread is as boring as the steak... A soft tasteless French bread. Now to the pros... The dinner salad was seriously good!!! ( well.. The dressing made it what it was) And you must try some Tiramisu... Really creamy and flavorful And of course the lovely hostess who was very friendly and funny and again was thoughtful to acknowledge our special occasion at their restaurant! I questioned getting an Italian desert in a steakhouse but as it turns out the they do a better Italian desert than they do steak! If I would have read the YELP reviews prior I would have seen other people experiencing the same tasteless meat... I trusted CHECK PLEASE! Next time I ignore the people being paid to eat and review their food and go straight to my fellow Yelpers. That was the highlights of our Anniversary dinner at DCSTEAKHOUSE. We each brought home our deserts and I brought home my steak I think this place lures the locals who want to dine in the neighborhood... It is in a nice location perfect for an after dinner stroll That's it folks... Try it if you want... Just don't expect what you saw on TV Bon Appetite'
