When everyone who just dined at this restaurant, asks each other, "how does this place stay in…read morebusiness?" when offering such a good deal for all you can eat crab legs and all you can drink. You know it was a solid meal and the experience was excellent! We had a special occasion, and we all came out for all you can eat crab legs. All you can eat cornbread and all you can drink. The alcoholic beverages were limited to Jim beam old-fashioned, red or white sangria, and a limited draft beer select selection. For all you can drink, you would usually expect a water down lower quality beverage, however, that was not the case. The old-fashioned were very well made. The red sangria was decadent and not overly sweet. And the draft beer was a good old draft beer. Caroline was our server. She was absolutely excellent. She was attentive, polite patient with us. Always making sure we were all taken care of. She helped make our meal even better. The decor of this restaurant is very high class. Visually it's very well, appointed with table, linens, cloth, napkins, and cohesive color scheme. With the decor, high-quality drinks and the high-quality food we were more than happy to pay the $70 for all you can eat and drink. I highly recommend this place. I have to make sure to come back sooner than later.

I spent Sunday brunch at Hen Quarter Prime celebrating a friend's birthday with a group of six, and…read moreoverall we had a great time. I actually arrived about an hour after everyone else, and I really appreciated that the staff still accommodated me and allowed me to enjoy the full two-hour brunch experience instead of rushing me. That flexibility meant a lot and let me celebrate with my friends without feeling like I had missed out. The buffet itself had plenty to choose from, including fried catfish, made-to-order waffles, macaroni and cheese, fresh fruit, and desserts. I decided to upgrade with the seafood option, which was absolutely worth it. I enjoyed oysters, crab legs, shrimp cocktail, and prime rib, making brunch feel like a true special occasion. My only disappointment was the prime rib. I love mine rare, but each serving I received was more well done than I prefer. It tasted like it had spent a little too much time under the heat lamps before being served. Service was friendly, but it definitely felt like the restaurant was stretched thin. Our server was attentive and kind, but drinks and premium brunch items occasionally went to the wrong table, and there were moments when it seemed difficult to keep track of who had ordered what. To me, this felt less like a service issue and more like a staffing issue. It's a large, beautifully designed restaurant, and it seemed like there simply weren't enough servers for the number of guests. I understand that restaurants are trying to balance staffing and costs, especially with the challenges many businesses in DC are facing right now, but it does affect the guest experience. One of my favorite moments was when the team brought out a birthday cake with a candle and sang to our birthday guest. It was a thoughtful gesture that made the celebration feel even more special. Despite a few hiccups, we left full, happy, and grateful to spend time together. Now that I know what to expect, I'd absolutely come back for another brunch.

I know it's a chain but we had a great experience. The drinks were so good. My husband loved the fried plantains. The sirloin was excellent. I loved the salad bar and cheese bread. The bacon wrapped chicken was my favorite. All the staff was very welcoming and attentive. We hope the one in Kansas is just as tasty.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE…read more I had tickets for The National and did an online search of nearby spots to have happy hour before the show. On Fogo de Chão's website, I was pleased to find a promotion stating that its happy hour was "all day, every day" and "in the dining room and bar." I was even more pleased to see a big "RESERVE NOW" button as part of the promotion. I made my reservation for 6 p.m., provided all my contact information, and included a note in the "Special Request" section specifically requesting two seats at the bar. The reservation was submitted and confirmation received at 3 p.m. Unfortunately, I was far from pleased when I arrived and the hostess said, "I see you have a reservation and your note, but the bar is first come, first served." I expressed my disappointment but stated that I would be fine seated in the dining room. She then hits me with, "Happy hour is only available in the dining room if you are having dinner." I then expain that the information on the website made no mention of either of those restrictions and that at no point in the reservation process was there any information that would indicate that reservations are for non-happy hour guests. A manager then stepped in and shared that I must have read the happy hour information incorrectlg and that the online service clearly states that reservations are for the dining room only. He then proceeded to explain that he would make an exception and allow me and my guest to have happy hour while seated in the dining room (which, by the way, was nearly empty). I was pretty annoyed about being made to feel like I was in the wrong and at no point getting an apology, but at least I finally had a seat and could order food and drinks. BUT that brief feeling of satisfaction didn't last because when the bill came, they charged us full price for our cocktails. To make matters worse, I wasn't able to have the bill corrected because I didn't have the time to spare before the show. I have included photos of the website's happy hour promotion and the reservation booking form.

If they are serving scallops, order it! Whatever main dish you order, you have to order one of their house made chutneys. We really enjoyed the mango chutney. Also, don't forget the naan! We like plain or garlic. They are about a 5-7 min walk from the Capital One Arena. So, it is best to make reservations just in case you are trying to dine here when there is an event at Capital One. It gets crowded! Notable is the service. Our server was super friendly and. attentive. He made some very good recommendations, to include a glass of champagne that enhanced the meal.

The place is quite dark with that moody ambiance. It's also loud. Our server bhaskar was very attentive and a total sweetheart. I heard him ask a delivery driver if he wanted water or anything before he got his delivery order. Since we got the mixed grill, he recommended a new dish to us, chicken green masala. We also got the lacha paratha to go with it. The mix grill was nice to taste a bit of everything. The salmon was a bit undercooked in some areas but very tasty. The tandoori chicken was dry. The lamb was absolutely delicious and i could have eaten a whole platter of just that. The green masala has such warm spices and it was perfectly spicy. It went sooo well with the paratha. The paratha was flaky and buttery. The mushroom was so unexpected. I loved it so much. It was tangy and spicy. Perfect also. Overall, I'll be back for the mains, for the grill, i would definitely recommend the lamb but not others. This was our anniversary dinner, so bhaskar surprised us with a small ice cream and gulab jamun. Sooo sweet to recognize this. He is the best.

Every dish we ordered was well prepared and full of flavor. The Stone Crab was the highlight of the meal--fresh, sweet, and perfectly chilled with a delicious mustard dipping sauce. The Steak Béarnaise was cooked exactly as requested, tender and juicy, and the rich béarnaise sauce complemented it perfectly. The Crab Bisque was creamy, comforting, and packed with real crab flavor without being overly heavy. We also loved the Grilled Seafood Platter, which featured a great variety of seafood that was fresh, perfectly grilled, and seasoned just right. If you're looking for high-quality seafood and a memorable dining experience in DC, this is the place to be.

I thought if I ordered fried shrimp that the quality would be better than a non seafood restaurant... Boy was I wrong! The shrimp were not deveined!!!

I just so happened to look under the cornbread muffin; SO GLAD I DID! I spent close to $40 for inedible food. Won't order from here again! The highlight was the salad dressing; that was tasty!

I knew I wanted to try this place as soon as I got into DC. I knew they had a cool buffet, but…read moreunfortunately, I was working fairly late into the night. That was fine, though, because they are open fairly late. So I went ahead and stumbled into this spot. When I arrived, I was the only one in the restaurant that late at night. They had some music playing and the atmosphere was overall very very cool; superbly vibrant, nice colors, comfortable seating, and great lights. Huge fan of that. However, I will note that the staff wasn't the most attentive. I was there for a while before my food arrived even when there was almost no one in the restaurant. They were also out of a lot of dishes, but that is pretty fair at that hour. Now, finally onto the food. The briouat pastry was quite disappointing. These were just like spring rolls with chicken. Almost seemed store bought. Still pretty tasty, filling, and oily, but just nothing special. The kunefe was super good though. This was my first kunefe in DC, and it definitely hit the spot. Thanks to the waitress for the recommendation. So sweet though! The Moroccan tea was very nice, I believe they mostly serve it by the pot, but I was able to get some in a small glass. This had the perfect flavor to go with the kunefe. Highly recommend!

All. Day. Happy. Hour…read more I always labeled this restaurant a BRO date place cause of all the meats (pause). Yes they have a great salad/cold bar but for the price I could never justify visiting again for dinner. So when my friend suggested visiting before a concert at Anthem I was annoyed but quickly changed my feeling when she shared the HH menu. $10 yummy specialty cocktails and a nice line-up of apps to purchase to eat alone or share? I was so excited. I order the lamb chop lollipops, you can cut them with a butter knife! It's my favorite. This location has a great patio, service and strong drinks. The fact you can see the sunset over the water and have a more elevated happy hour is a huge plus. All prices are comparable to the other restaurants in that area. Truly a fan, I even invited my coworkers - which I never do - for happy hour and a few of us ended up staying and closing the place down. Team Building, ya know. Bonding over great food and drinks.

Incredible Experience - Ask for Eliseo and Matias!…read more We had an absolutely phenomenal lunch at the Fogo de Chão at The Wharf, and it was entirely due to the incredible team work of our server Eliseo and Gaucho chef, Matias. Our server, Eliseo, was incredibly attentive and kept the pace of the meal perfect, but the highlight was our Gaucho chef, Matias. From the moment he arrived at our table, it was clear he was a master of his craft. He cuts every selection so elegantly and treats the meat with real respect. We actually found out why he's so skilled: he used to be the meat chef at Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen just down the street, where he prepared all the cuts for their famous Beef Wellingtons. That level of expertise really shines through in his work here. Matias took the time to explain cuts of meat to us, and his knowledge of the different meats is top-tier. What impressed us most was his attention to detail--whenever we mentioned we wanted a specific piece charred a bit more, he didn't just say "okay," he took it and charred it for us immediately. He is by far one of the best Gaucho chefs I've ever encountered. A huge thank you to Matias for paying such close attention to our needs and making this a truly special experience. We will definitely be back!
