Phyllo Sole
Rene S.

We had dinner here while in DC- it's a lovely place! The setting is warm and welcoming- in the Four Seasons hotel. The service was impeccable! Andy was the main server and did a great job- he was friendly, helpful and gave us great suggestions. The food was great- the steaks were tender and flavorful, the crab cake was one of the best! The banana dessert was delicious! I'd definitely go again- it is pricey so be aware!

Created a drink just for me
Iris P.

Then celebrated midnight at Bourbon Steak, where the staff went above and beyond. They created a custom cocktail just for me (and even wrote down the recipe so I'd never forget it ). Huge shoutout to Tony and Quinton behind the bar -- the absolute dream team who made my birthday feel so special. From the city lights to the cocktails to the energy of Halloween weekend, it was the most unforgettable way to welcome a new decade.

Beignet and smoked smores

Hands down the best steakhouse my husband and I have ever had. Great service, ambiance, and experience. We will absolutely return!

A standard, part of the Four Seasons. Whether for a drink while you leak secrets to reporters or a 3rd date or grabbing a cigar on a Tuesday afternoon after having to deal with certain elected officials you can't go wrong. The staff will always take care of you Also make sure to get one of the house bourbon cocktails. They're all excellent.

Heritage Turkey Burger, Caesar Salad,
JoNate L.

me and my friend went to Bourbon bar to have cocktails and a snack but ended up getting the house made turkey burgers and a salad because the drinks were so good. We kept ordering more and needed something to soak it up. The atmosphere is always nice there you never know who you're going to run into. We had the privilege of sitting next to some film industry producers who were bury humble and fun. The bartender was hands-down one of the best bartenders I have encountered in a long time. Because of his service we have been back and will always go back when we are in the four seasons neighborhood of Georgetown.

Japanese A5 Wagyu striploin
Lydia K.

I had the most amazing dining experience at @bourbonsteakdc inside the @fswashington , and let me tell you, it's an absolute must-try! I went for the A5 Wagyu Striploin, and WOW - pure perfection. Other highlights? The classic Caesar Salad was on point, Michael's Tuna Tartare had that perfect balance of fresh and flavorful, and don't even get me started on the Duck Fat Fries... literally to die for. If you're looking for next-level food, this place is *the* spot. #foodie #food #chilebougie #chilebougieeats #foodreview #chilebougietravels #foodiegram #drinks #cocktails #chiamakalkalu #blackfoodie #foodcritic #japanesefood #dmv #dcfood #dcfoodie #tastemademedoit #EaterDC #dceats #dcfoodreview #dmvfoodreview #mdfoodie #marylandfoodie #blackgirltravel #FoodGoals #LuxuryDining #BourbonSteak #WagyuMagic

Sorry for the blurry photo.   This is the hangar steak.the cut is almost tubular and is like butter
Chris g.

This is the best steakhouse experience I've ever had, hands down. I'm ok with the trashier-jacket clad waiter and the traditional "sides" but this place hits different First off is the ambiance. It's beautifully lit and the tables are very comfortable. We came for my wife's birthday. I love the fries and dipping sauces they bring to the table along with the buns - 3 types of fries, duck fat, old bay and sea salt and herb. The duck fat were the best. The tuna tartar was like butter and my wife and I shared it. I got the 6 oz hangar that was like a filet, with perfect amount of sea salt sprinkled around the plate. Leanna was our server and she was great and every recommendation she made was spot on. Their take on a Negroni was one of the best cocktails I ever had They add chocolate and some espresso-like concoction that isn't overpowering but really lifts the drink I had 2! My wife had the 8 oz fillet and she loved it I didn't ask to try because my steak was that good. The truffle Mac and cheese was on a whole other level We had the beignets for desert. The wines were spectacular and we don't treat ourselves to places like this often, but the next time we do, I won't think of going anyplace else but Bourbon Steak.

Hamachi Crudo
Eka B.

If you are looking for a high end steak dinner, look no more. We dined here tonight and ordered the following family style: Appetizers: Hamachi Crudo, Black Truffle Agnolotti, Maryland Crab Cake, and a bonus Tuna Sashimi from the Chef. Main: 100 day dry-aged Bone-in Cowboy Steak, New York Strip, and Hanger Steak. Sides: Truffle Mac & Cheese, Brussel Sprouts, and Bacon Creamed Corn. It was too much food for 5 people and everything was amazing. Extra bonus, we saw Mr. Wonderful walking in for dinner just as we were leaving. That was pretty cool!

Side of grilled shrimp
Marianne C.

Service: Excellent Cocktails: Excellent Atmosphere: Excellent The Four Seasons restaurant is lovely. We had several dishes. My truffle pasta was excellent. My crabcake was quite good, not as good as the Prime Rib. The side order of grilled shrimp were excellent. They were quite large and had wonderful flavor. I usually cook my shrimp more, but they were done well. My friend's $86 steak had too much gristle for the price. That was quite disappointing. The desert of beignets was generous. Definitely a dessert to share. There are six beignets. The beignets were not light and fluffy as they should be. The trio of sauces was delicious--milk chocolate pudding, crème brûlée, and a caramel sauce with scotch. I do not like scotch, but the scotch was hardly noticeable at all. The cocktails are always unique and special. I had been here before several times, but it had been a while so we thought we'd check it out again. It's a special place to visit. I probably would not go back to the dining room. I would go to the bar and savor the drinks and appetizers/small plates.

Shrimp Cocktail, Ahi Tuna Tartare*, Agnolotti
William D.

First off amazing bar service. We began with cocktails and then moved to the private room. The sommelier Winn was fantastic. The food was also incredible... everything was top notch. It's not on the menu, but get an espresso martini. The steak was super tender and the sauces enhanced it. The fries and bread rolls were a great start. My favorite side was perhaps the mushrooms, but the carrots, mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, Brussels, etc were all done well.

French fry flight
Sehar M.

This place had absolutely wonderful food! We came here for dinner and they started us out with a French fry flight after we ordered some food. They even gave some specific fries for our vegetarian friends. They also gave us some break that tasted great! The rest of our friends had all kinds of wonderful food! I had the steak and shared the mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. I didn't like the mashed potatoes only cause my stomach got upset from them later. I loved the mac and cheese though. Lastly, I got the smoked s'mores, which was great (obviously, expect a smoky flavor). The ambiance is low key and wonderful! You do have to dress up a bit but I enjoyed that a lot! I can't wait to come back here again. The only thing is our server was a little slow so we didn't get food quickly. Other than that, next time, I would definitely do the lounge for their lunch special.

R K.

Terrific service, steaks and martinis. However, the raw oysters on half-shells were devoid of liquor and a bit dry, so they were not freshly shucked. A shame, considering the price for them.

Dragon fruit cocktail
Meridena K.

I always enjoy the bar at Bourbon Steak in Gtown. It's a very friendly atmosphere, fun cocktail menu, and a good bar menu. Nice setting along a wall of windows. Not cheap but a great place to grab a drink. Valet parking with validation is $30 until midnight.

We shared the sides with them. My daughter ate the macaroni and cheese and the veggies.

Yes

Is there outdoor space/seating?

Yes! It is very nice too. You can get a table or sit in the lounge area. Cigar smoking is welcomed, too.

All hours are happy at the bar.

Do they have a happy hour?

Yes!

Can you order a burger when you go to dinner on the restaurant side? Or are the burgers only available in the lounge?

I confirmed with the hostess that you can only order a burger on the bar side. The drinks are amazing and the burgers look fantastic, so not all bad.

The service was genuinely five-star. Attentive without being intrusive, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. The drinks were inventive and beautifully balanced, creative without trying too hard, and the wine selection was outstanding. The sommelier's guidance made the experience even better; every recommendation paired perfectly with our meal. And the food? Superb. Outstanding. We ended up trying almost everything because we simply couldn't decide -- and not a single dish disappointed. Each plate felt intentional, refined, and deeply flavorful.

We got a bunch of things to share. I ate the butter like it was frosting. It may be cultured, but I'm not!! Had the carrots, escargot, the deviled eggs, and the pasta. Also had the octopus pepper gilda thing. Our server, think his name was Hunter, said that was the most popular main. It was very delicious, rich but not overly so. The martini was nice and came with a side car. Great presentation. When my friend saw the martini she said this makes me feel like i know how to live. They have a good wine list, you can get good stuff without breaking the bank. Their espresso is nice. I don't think they have decaf though.

The ossobucco with the risotto rice was extremely undercooked, where we could see the white middles of each grain of rice. The ossobucco itself was delicious though! I reached out on their website to share that we were a bit disappointed as we were there with friends who claim this is one of their favorite Italian restaurants in the DMV, and having multiple bones in a dish is not acceptable. Not coming back and saying something is also unacceptable. No one reaching back out after I emailed them, is equally very unacceptable.

Warm, attentive, knowledgeable, the kind of server who makes a special occasion actually feel special. The moment you walk in, the space wraps around you. Warm wood, soft lighting, an atmosphere that feels intimate without being cramped, the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and stay a while. The team went above and beyond when they learned I don't drink: they gifted us a non-alcoholic wine, a complimentary appetizer, and dessert. That kind of hospitality isn't scripted... it's felt. Now, the food. The housemade sourdough with eucalyptus honey butter is dangerous, I could have stopped there and been happy. The roasted carrot salad with hazelnut dukkah and garlic toum was one of those dishes that makes you rethink a vegetable entirely. The garlic knots had no business being that good... crispy, layered, almost croissant-like, deeply garlicky in the best way. For pasta we had the pappardelle with spicy roasted pork ragù and fennel breadcrumbs, and the canastra cheese ravioli with wild garlic pesto and brazil nut pangrattato, that stunning deep green dish topped with chive blossoms looked like art and tasted even better. Both pastas were perfect. Then the Brazilian budino with coconut caramel and toasted coconut came out with a little candle tucked in. I nearly cried. This is a restaurant that treats every table like it matters. We will absolutely be back.

First, a friend made a reservation at least a week in advance for a table of three. We all got there on time, if not a few minutes early. The hostess then told us there was not a table ready for us, and worse, was unable to give us a time estimate on when a table would open up because "we do not time our tables." So what is the point of making a reservation? Hilariously he said we can wait for a table outside instead, but they Won't be turning on the heaters. Happy to know they want us cold and hungry. We ended up waiting by the bar area, which was uncomfortably packed, for a drink while a table opened up. The bartender there was nice and respectful! Eventually, after waiting for some time we got a table inside. It was quite loud in the main room. There were three separate birthday parties. We were glad to start ordering. We ordered the oyster mushrooms, patatas bravas, chicken thighs, seafood paella, and the pork belly. The pork belly had to be comped because they forgot about it until I reminded them over an hour into the dinner. To note, all of the food was lukewarm/cold with the exception of the pork belly because they forgot about it and it was prepared late. Even the paella, which is served on a cast iron, so it has the optics of being piping hot, was actually just warm. The rice felt a little hard. The mushrooms had too much breading in each bite. I enjoyed the green sauce in the chicken. A runner asked if we wanted complimentary bread with our green sauce, which we responded positively towards. But soon after another runner picked up the plate with the sauce and swooped it away. Then the first runner came back with the bread right after, noticeably confused by the lack of sauce. It felt comedic. I enjoyed the wine and the pork belly most. Truly unforgettable service.
