Recently, Eater DC published a list of what they considered the best steakhouses in the DMV…read more Randy's made the list. We were looking for a place to have our anniversary dinner. After seeing the list, we chose Randy's. Randy's is a Great American Restaurant, and I must say it's so good to go to a GAR with a menu different from the others. In the past, I've written about how one can go to Coastal Flats and get pretty much the same menu as, for example, Jackson's. We made a reservation for 5 p.m. on a Saturday. We arrived about a half hour early, so we asked if they could seat us right then and there. The people at the host stand said "yes". We were seated at a 4-top booth. Thus, there was plenty of room. The booths, which have mohair seat coverings, were a shade of green and quite attractive. The environment clearly says "upscale steakhouse." Our server was prompt in getting to us and asked if we wanted some water. We chose tap water. He gave us time to look over the menu. We decided to not have any appetizers as we didn't want to get too full. To drink, my husband got a glass of Catena Malbec while I got an Espresso Martini. Our server asked if we wanted some bread. We said "yes". The bread basket had 2 flaky, buttery croissants, plus a slice of white bread and a slice with raisins. For our main course, we both got the 7 oz. filet mignon cooked medium rare. We chose to try two sides. One side was "roasted asparagus" which consists of: "poached egg, parmesan (we asked for no cheese and our request was honored), truffled Bernaise aioli". The second side was "Honey roasted organic rainbow carrots," which were "dusted with candied walnuts". As for the food --- We both thought our steaks were properly cooked, However, my husband said his was on the dry side while mine was just right. We both really enjoyed the side dishes. The asparagus was unconventional, to be sure. Never did I have a poached egg with asparagus. I ate the egg, and it was properly cooked. Looking back, I should have thought to put some salt on it as there was none. The truffled sauce was creamy and added nice flavor. The carrots, to me anyway, were a pleasant surprise. The honey added a nice flavor along with the candied walnuts. They, too, were cooked perfectly. As for being "rainbow" carrots, most were orange, with some white and yellow ones. We had some room for dessert, so we decided to share "Tressa's crispy meringue filled with lemon curd and finished with passionfruit coulis". Since it was our anniversary dinner, a dollop of whipped cream was added to the plate. In that dollop was a lit candle, which was a nice touch. I found the coulis to be on the tart side. The lemon curd was mildly flavored. Service was excellent, though dessert took a while ,to arrive. All in all, a nice splurge and we're glad we came here. (Well...we didn't care for the traffic on Leesburg Pike, but the dinner made it worth the trip).

This was my first time dining at Randy's, and overall I had a pleasant experience. Located right…read morenext to Patsy's, another Great American restaurant, Randy's is known for its upscale steakhouse experience. The atmosphere: The restaurant is beautifully decorated, with a warm and inviting ambiance. There is plenty of spacious booth seating, which made for a comfortable dining experience. The food: My table started with the Crispy Fried Point Judith Calamari to share. I have a peanut and tree nut allergy and didn't initially realize that the dish included pesto. The staff promptly remade the appetizer without the pesto, which I appreciated. However, the interaction left me feeling a bit like an inconvenience based on the tone of the response. For my entrée, I ordered the Patsy's 5 Star Reserve Rib Eye. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare and was absolutely delicious. I also added a side of the House Steak Sauce, and it paired wonderfully with the steak. I highly recommend trying it if you're someone who enjoys dipping sauces with your steak! The service: Overall, the service was pleasant. The staff was kind, attentive, and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the meal. While there were a few minor hiccups, I enjoyed my visit and would return to try more of the menu.

Loved my lamb dish! Surprisingly reasonable pricing when you at opening/lunch too!…read more Nice cozy but elegant vibes. Great to take out your family or significant other. Interesting art on the wall and nice bathroom. Park on the parking garage below or on the side street/lot nearby. Make sure if you don't finish your lamb and ask to put it in a takeaway box go specify that you want your lamb scraps. Learn from me because my waiter tossed all my lamb and just boxed up the rice likely thinking I was done with them. Big bummer since I was looking forward to my leftovers but oh well.

I thought my salmon wrap and the chickpea side was ok. Interesting flavors for sure. As for the service, there was always someone filling up our waters and our waiter was very nice checking in every now and then. The only downside of the experience is at the end when the waiter was boxing up all the food for us. Very sweet that they do this but when boxing up my partners food, they only boxed up the rice and they got rid of the lamb that he was looking forward to eating more of later. So that was kind of a disappointment for us. I think if we go again, we would request to box our food ourselves since I'm not sure why they decided to get rid of all of his lamb.

We had an AMAZING experience here the other night! A special meal for our anniversary…read more The service was excellent - lots of suggestions, asked about dietary restrictions and needs and lots of attention to detail. We had a lovely table for six, enjoyed that it was round and we could all have a nice conversation while dining. Our food was outstanding as well. A few recommendations of appetizers including the fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese that we all loved. They are known for their homemade pastas and offered a half size portion so you could try both- couldn't pick a favorite, each different and delicious! One of guests had fish which they loved and another had the ribeye and enjoyed it as well. Don't leave without sharing a dessert- the salted honey ice cream that topped the carrot cake was beyond perfect! Can't wait to celebrate another event there!

We came to Evelyn Rose for a friend's birthday and were blown away. The service was top-tier from…read morethe start--they even printed "Happy Birthday" on the menu, which made the night feel so special. The highlight of the meal was definitely the Kangaroo Tartare. If you're hesitant about it being gamey, don't be! It had a perfect balance of sweetness from the caramelized onions and a distinct, smoky flavor from being torched. For the main, I had the Pan Seared Wild Petrale Sole, which was beautifully cooked and fresh. My friend loved the chicken, and we ended the night sharing a delicious dessert. Bonus: Parking was a breeze--we found a spot on the street right in front of the restaurant. We will definitely be back!

I loved their Bloody Mary - so flavorful and savory. It had the right mix of flavors and spicy-ness. I also loved my wedge salad. It was crispy and fresh. Amazingly refreshing. I added some grilled chicken. I also highly recommend the lobster mac n cheese. That was one of the highlights at the table. The calamari was lightly breaded and came with a medley of peppers. A great option for an appetizer!

You all know I compare Love to Restaurants!…read more I love The Capital Grille. It's a quiet reminder that consistency and quality can still echo the kind of love we long for. My sweet friend also loves this place. Dinner was easy to decide on this week. I don't typically like being in VA but since I'm his "favorite" plus one, yes let's do it. Service is always great here! Can't remember a bad visit! Ambiance, typical "fine dining" atmosphere. I love that most patrons are dressy. I typically get steak when I'm here but he dines at this location at least once a week (he's loyal) and raved about the salmon. I listened and followed his recommendation. Let's get into it! Salmon - OMG I might have found my new favorite place to eat Salmon! Chef's kiss! Do not get well done, prepare it the chefs way! Sautéed spinach - was perfect! Will note I didn't need a side but I got this and glad I did. Filet Mignon butterflied - Oscar Style is my go to and typical order. Lobster Mac - Always! Perfect for date night, with an ambiance that encourages slow talks and shared smiles. Recommend this over and over!

Our…read moreserver would take long breaks, we hoped to drink our cocktail before our food came, but our food came 5 seconds after the drinks! My best friend and I split a tomahawk steak with their mac n cheese and a baked potato as our sides. The steak itself was pretty fatty, more than the norm for a Tomahawk and had little to no flavor. However, the Mac n cheese was delicious. Highly recommend that side. I'd love to come back and try a leaner cut of steak and their Fleming potatoes. Overall, could've been an off night. Will try again once more

We've eaten at quite a few Brazilian Steakhouse, most of them have fixed prices for everyone. It's…read moregraduation season, we visited our friends in VA and he took us to this restaurant to celebrate their anniversary. The price here is $70 per person which is a little higher than other places that I've been. The restaurant is very nice and clean. The servers are quite attentive and pleasant. I like the salad bar with many fresh produce to choose from, we can make our own dip. There are many types of meats that served, but some are quite chewy and a few are tender which I like. The meat servers come very often, we have to turn the sign off a few times to finish what are on our plates. Once in a while on a special occasion, having Brazillian food is nice, but to me it's still over priced. The young people like our friend's sons enjoy this place tremendously, they can eat very well. Overall, it was a great dinner with friends, nice atmosphere, delicious food.

I brought my son here to celebrate his graduation. We visited during the middle of the day, so the…read morerestaurant was not very busy. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. I had a party of eight, and we often had to flag down our server for assistance. In most restaurants, the staff is attentive and regularly checks on guests, but that was not the case here. Since the food was not being served by the waitstaff, I expected drink refills and basic customer service to be more proactive. Overall, the lack of attentiveness took away from what should have been a special celebration.

O my! I don't know where to start…read more.. Chris L. was our serve on this trip and he had wonderful recommendations, like: 1. Golden hour cocktail - It was just lovely! It tastes like the best rum punch you've had. It was perfectly sweet, but not too sweet. Beautiful in color. So good I had to sip this one very slowly...like it was the last or only one ever made. DELICIOUS! He also recommended the: 2. Smoked Old Fashioned and it was served to perfection as well. Nice and smoky and smooove. Then...we had the lobster tacos. I don't like lobster. Well, I didn't like lobster until I tried these tacos. To be honest, the lobster tasted like crab legs and the taco was dressed in all fresh ingredients (avocado, charred corn, cilantro, and a fresh flour tortilla) Alright...then next up was the Panko Crusted Sole. It is not filleted tableside because it is pan seared in the kitchen. It was very filling. I think I had three nice-sized filets. It came pretty much with a light and fresh tomato salad. You should do it! Then there was the Crab Cake, which was good. It was in the sweeter end. It was a large portion. It does not have jumbo lump crab meat, but don't let that deter you. Christ also informed us that the "Accompaniments" (sides) could be ordered in half sizes and indeed we - I - had a half size of the Au Gratin Potatoes. They were very smooth, flavorful, and creamy. Also, shouts out to Oscar who held down the water service and the other little things in between that also made this evening even better. The ambiance...I can't wait to head here again on Friday! I went in Saturday evening and the 3 Bears (band) was the live musical entertainment. They were AMAZING! To be honest, I just want to drop in and get a salad and drink...but everything else was so wonderful that $300 later, I'm writing this review. It was worth every penny - and don't forget to tip the band yall! That's it.

First, the au gratin potatoes were tasty and even better when I reheated them the next day. The dumplings first came out cold, and when they were replaced, they didn't have much flavor. I ordered the lemon tart to take home, and I really wish I hadn't. It lacked flavor, and the crust was not crisp. I was very disappointed. Service at the bar was a little hit or miss. The bartenders were very busy, and the waiters would walk by, avoiding any eye contact. Also, the host needs tips on greeting guests. Instead of asking how he could help us or if we had a reservation, he just stated that they were booked all weekend. During our time at the bar, only half of the tables filled up.

The ambiance really stood out, we sat outside for a nighttime dinner, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. One of the highlights was having our steak grilled tableside, which was such a cool and memorable touch. We do have a favorite steakhouse that we usually compare others to, and while Guerra didn't quite top that for us, it was still very good and absolutely worth the visit. Overall, it was a great experience, and we would definitely come back. Highly recommend for a special occasion or a nice night out. Our Servers were Daniel and Jose. They added a sweet touch be gifting us a champagne toast as we were celebrating our Anniversary.
