What a great steak place. We have been to J Gilbert's, Mike's American, etc. but none can hold a candle to Guerra. Not stuffy, not overpriced, super friendly, and simply amazing steak. We got hanger, filet, ribeye, and filet/oscar. All perfectly cooked without being over-seasoned. Their side sauces complimented the meat without overpowering it. We will definitely be regulars to get our steak fix and leave the others behind. read more

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Guerra Steakhouse, and it was a wonderful experience. The food was phenomenal, and the service was warm and friendly from start to finish. 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. read more

This may be my favorite steakhouse of all time..... and I've been to quite a few in the area and in general. The quality of our steaks, the sides, and the drinks - phenomenal! Made to order, delicious, fresh, flavorful. I could go on and on. I want to bite into that filet mignon for the first time again and again! The service was great- sometimes my father can be a little particular, and our server handled it so well and with grace and just wonderful service! Super attentive too. The ambiance was great. I would recommend making a reservation here as the indoor space is a little smaller. Parking can also be a little rough, but due to the quality of everything else, it really doesn't affect my review at all. We cannot WAIT to return! read more

I have lived in the neighborhood for four years and never really had a reason to stop in for an expensive steak until recently. Thank God I finally did! PHEW this food was awesome. My sister and I both had the hanger steak (medium and medium rare respectively). We also ate mashed potatoes, broccoli and asparagus sides. The steaks were 10/10. The vegetables and potatoes were 10/10. No question. But we were both very torn over our choices of six sauces and the waiter brought us two each instead of one. And the sauce is where the BIG PROBLEM started! WHY ON EARTH would you serve absolutely delicious fantastic 10/10 house made sauces (like horseradish, port wine, mushroom, chimichurri) when you're serving up absolutely delicious 10/10 food??? I couldn't bring myself to use the sauce and hide the flavor of all the food we ordered. Potatoes too creamy and tasty to douse in even the best sauces (which these were). Even the broccoli and asparagus were too good to be hidden under sauce. Obviously the steak was perfect on its own. So if you want to have a major problem on your hands of choosing which delicious food to douse with which delicious sauce then go to Guerra read more

An excellent experience at Guerras! The food was solid across the board (try the port wine sauce!) and the service really stood out. Matt had a quick wit that helped make it a memorable experience for my family and I. We'll be back! read more

Came here for my wife's birthday the other day, and it was fantastic. The steaks (hangar), el fuego shrimp, roasted mushrooms, creamed spinach, and mashed potatoes were all delicious. And they made a special salad for my daughter who couldn't find exactly what she wanted on the menu. They brought out a special dark chocolate mousse and candle for my wife's birthday, and the family shared our own dark chocolate mousse and mango sorbet. Both were also great! (Only mistake was we ordered milk instead of dark chocolate, but we were willing to overlook it) Service was also great. Will definitely return. read more

Came for my fiance's birthday and were underwhelmed. Service wise: we waited FOREVER. I think it was about 45 minutes before anything came to our table. The first thing to arrive was our side of fries. 30ish minutes later the rest of our food came. To the restaurant's credit, they brought us another side of fries, because, why would they bring out the fries 30 minutes before the rest of the food? I ordered my steak rare, and it came out medium. My fiance ordered medium and got medium. The steaks were good enough (because, hey, it's steak) but undersalted. We liked the chimichurri. The mashed potatoes and fries we got were good (albeit nothing stand out). Drinks were also standard issue. We skipped dessert because we didn't trust that we'd make our reservations for a cocktail bar, given that it took over an hour to get our steaks. read more

This was my first time here and I'm impressed by the food and service we received. The waitress (i think her name was Camilla) was very sweet, patient, and accommodating to the meat temperature me and my family requested. Some of us like our steak well done (I know some of you claim it's a culinary sin but I don't want me steak mooing). Me and my mom ordered well done ribeyes and it was still juicy. I've only trusted one restaurant too give me good well done steak. I'm happy to add another one to the list. My brother ordered the Tomahawk for 2 FOR HIMSELF, LOL. And ordered lobster Mac and Cheese, fries, and mashed potatoes to go with it. And an extra order of shrimp to go with it. He really enjoyed it as this was his first time trying Tomahawk. My Dad ordered the Cowboy Steak and was impressed with the taste and tenderness. Each steak came with a side of mashed potatoes and even the side was delicious and well seasoned. The waitress made our dining experience great. She always checked in on us, helped us with recommendations on steaks based on our requested temperatures, and gave us a complimentary dessert for our birthday celebration. Though the price is expensive, the experience, staff, and food made the trip worth it. read more

Amazing steakhouse in Rosslyn. Although a little inconspicuous on the outside, the inside is quite nice. The staff is extremely nice and attentive. They gave great recommendations (the shrimp appetizer is great). We ordered a rare steam and a lobster mac and cheese. Both were delicious. The steam came out a little medium rare on the ends and the waiter doubled check with us after seeing it himself to see if we were ok with it. We didn't mind and I was impressed with the proactiveness of the waiters. They're extremely nice and want to take care of you. They're grill on charcoal so it is very impressive that they perfectly cook everything with such precision. Definitely a hidden gem in Rosslyn, which has so many mid tier corporate food. read more

We were there from the office for a going away party on a Wednesday. We got seated pretty quickly since we had a reservation for six. Very relaxed dining experience with great ambiance in a busy part of Arlington. Parking was still not a problem. They serve smoked drinks in a fancy lantern looking container. Look for it! Others had steaks that they seem to love (I am a vegetarian so I cannot comment on that!). I ordered a few side dishes as my meal - Mac and Cheese, Fried Mushrooms and French Fries. All the food was very tasty, the waiters very attentive yet let you dine at leisure! Loved it and will be back some day with other Steak aficionados!! read more

Ordered the Malbec. Caesar no croutons, ribeye medium rare with blue cheese crumbles, and side of Mac and cheese. We sat outside and the ambiance was really nice- mostly due to the restaurant next door! They had lots of colorful lights and it was dark outside. Wine was good. Loved my Caesar salad. Mac and cheese was good- not too dry or too wet; good flavor. Steak was ok. My medium rare was a few minutes over and my friend's medium rare steak was a few minutes under cooked. read more

Tried Guerra for dinner and had a good experience. Service was great and ambience was nice. The restaurant is very small so thankfully it wasn't packed but you can easily take part in conversations nearby being seated that close. The steak was good but the chimmichurri wasn't as flavourful as I'm used to and the mashed potatoes needed Something more... butter? Salt? read more

Loved the Food, Service, and Ambiance! The Mrs's and I enjoyed the whole dinner out experience. Also in a great part of town.

I went to Guerra for Mother's Day and it was great. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. Everything we had was delicious! I started with the passion fruit martini which I will come back for again and again lol. For food we ordered: 1. the caesar salad-good, pretty standard 2. french onion soup-not your regular french onion soup, they made it better- by adding little pieces of steak 3. flank and ribeye steaks-both flavorful and cooked perfectly 4. mashed potatoes-good, pretty standard 5. cream spinach-really really good! Overall a great experience and I loved that it was more intimate than your typical steak house experience. read more

We went to Guerra for a celebration. I easily booked the reservation about a month in advance. The ambiance is intimate and warm and was the perfect spot for a crisp fall evening. All the sides come family style, so you can get one or two to share with the table! The food was really good - I ordered the blackened salmon and had sides of the Mac n cheese, whipped potatoes, Mac n cheese, and Brussels sprouts. All of it was excellent! We also ordered two bottles of Cabernet. It was really delicious wine. My only complaint was they only had bottles that were around $60 - no house wine. For celebrations when you want to order several for the table that can be a little annoying. Overall, great experience. read more

Service was a bit slow, but when they did come to our table, they were nice and attentive. A lovely meal with good company. It was pretty loud in there- they were very busy with happy people enjoying their meal. My friend's birthday was spent here, and they added a cute HAPPY BIRTHDAY on her menu. The bread for the table was nice. My steak was cooked nicely, and the horseradish sauce was not overly hot, but had good flavor. My friend liked the hollandaise, another liked her steak salad, the Mac and cheese was good and also liked the iceberg wedge. Friendly staff. I'd come back here! read more

Came here for a 35th wedding anniversary and was not disappointed at all! They ordered the tableside Tomahawk steak and my date and I ordered the cowboy and and entrecôte steaks. They were all very well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The Tomahawk is cooked tableside and was a nice treat! For drinks, we had a bottle of Moscato, a smokey old fashion (best OF I've ever had), and a fancy margarita. Service was spectacular and fast! Ambiance was adorable. We sat outside and the decor is so picture perfect! Great place to have a nice dinner! Parking is limited inside of the lot but there is street parking a well as garages near by. It is a small location in a busy shopping center. I would definitely return and so glad that they made their anniversary memorable! read more

Came here for a nice dinner date and was not disappointed. We made a reservation and were seated right away when arrived. Staffs were nice and friendly. Crab bisque was delicious and well-seasoned. The crabmeat croquette was alright, had only a little taste of crabmeat, so I would try something else next time. Steak was cooked perfectly as ordered and paired well with the garlic butter, if you like some more of the sweeter profile then the brandy mushroom sauce was a good pair as well. We were full by the time we finished out meal so we did not have room to try their dessert this time, though it looked good (from a peek of another table that ordered the chocolate mousse and chocolate lava cake, yum) This restaurant is very small and tables are set very close to each other, so it felt a little crammed during the dinner rush. We did not have a problem finding a parking spot when arrived, since this restaurant located in a small plaza, it might be a challenge to park during rush hours. Overall, it was a good meal. read more

If you are looking for a quaint, intimate spot, check out Guerra Steakhouse. Start with the crab bisque, a great way to warm your palate up for the meal. The bisque is very creamy and flavorful. There is a good balance of crabmeat between each bite. Our steaks were delicious, juicy, and flavorful. The cream of spinach and mashed potatoes went really well with the steak. I definitely will be back for another steak dinner. read more

I got the 26 oz Cowboy Steak which was great. My wife the 8 oz filet mignon which was average. The mashed potatoes, fries, salad, asparagus and bread were all very good. The reason for taking off 2 stars is the service was not good. Our waiter didn't explain things that we found out later after ordering. They weren't overly crowded but our waiter didn't check on us until 45 minutes into our meal. I had to flag the hostess down several times just to get more water. And our order was messed up twice. The staff was very nice but they could be more attentive to the patrons. read more

Guerra Steakhouse - Great cowboy steak! - Steakhouses Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

TIP: MAKE RESERVATIONS!! Amazing food! A must try, if you're in the area! I was in the area and was craving some steak. I came across Guerra Steakhouse and man was I happy I did. It was close to dinner time and I realized they're only open for dinner. I thought about making reservations, however, I figured if I get there at a decent time, I should be good to get a table. Plus, it was only two in my party so I figured we had a good chance. We got lucky and the hostess said she has a table available for an about and a half (reservations expected to come by then). We accepted the table; knowing we were there to eat and not socialize because we had somewhere to be at a specific time. So it worked out. Now to the food! ORDER * Cowboy - 26oz * This handsome piece of steak was thick, juicy and tender. Cooked medium rare (why waste a steak eating it tough and well done). It's not pictured, however if you glance at the other pictures in the gallery, you'll see what I mean. * Ribeye - 16oz * Another handsome piece of steak that was amazing. It was also thick, juicy and tender. There were many pieces that melted in your mouth throwing delicious shock waves throughout your tastebuds. It came with bits of roasted garlic on top. The steaks entrees came with house mashed potatoes. We got an additional side going with the spinach. The mashed potatoes were so creamy and fluffy. Full of flavor. The spinach was good and also creamy. * Scallops * These tasty scallops were glazed in butter garlic sauce. The portions were generous as an appetizer. You get complimentary fresh bread and butter. The butter is seasoned and jazzes up the bread. I decided to have an adult beverage to chase down my steak. I went with the HIBISCUS SUNSET. Even the drink was good. It wasn't too sweet either. I can't recall what was in it but I highly recommend it. Overall, the restaurant was top notch. The service was good and the food is amazing. The restaurant isn't that big however there's outdoor seating. The restaurant felt like fine dining. Everyone at the restaurant seemed to be dressed up and there for a special occasion (a few couples clearly on a nice date, and birthday celebration). We were not dressed up, however a lot of the people were. We enjoyed our delicious food in our causal fits (jeans and sneakers). The waist staff seemed to be extra kind to the folks on dates which was nice. Allowing them to take photos of their tomahawk steaks fired up at the table. I totally missed the mini show of the fire however that didn't matter because we got compliments on our steaks when a gentleman walked in, in awe asking what steaks we ordered because they liked amazing. read more

By far the best steakhouse. Took my husband here for his birthday and he thoroughly enjoyed the food. It's a very intimate establishment which I love. The service was top notch. The food came out timely and the staff were super friendly! We had the crab croquettes, 6 oz fillet, 16 oz ribeye and fries! The passionfruit martini was tasty as well! Give them a try! You won't be disappointed. read more

This restaurant may well be an average of 4.5 stars, but this was a 3 star meal if I'm being generous. The ambiance is nice. Small. Quaint. Clean. Would be cool if there was some sort of bar seating but space in Rosslyn is a premium. Let's talk sides. The good and bad. Creamed spinach - very good. Brussels and mashed potatoes were ok. "Seasonal Mushrooms..." look...it's June. You know exactly the one mushroom I'm looking for in May and June. It's not the baby portabellas and shitaake from the local grocer sautéed in EVOO. Seasonal mushrooms in May and June are a standard fare. And then the ribeye. Ordered medium-rare. Cook at the mid-point of the steak was medium-well to well. Thickest part of the cut was medium for about 3-4 bites. Season and sere were fine, but you cannot overcook this cut as a quality steakhouse. If your service staff see an overcook, they need to intervene. It's not how it should exit your expo. I've included photos. It was clearly a well-marbled cut cooked poorly. I'll keep looking for the best ribeye in NOVA. read more

Guerra Steakhouse - "Mid-rare" ribeye two grades overcooked at the mid-cut - Steakhouses Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Great food. Steaks are always great, the ribeye done to perfection! Mashed potatoes are like dessert

The food was excellent, had a mix up with the order but was made right. The steaks were high quality as were the sides.

Solid steak spot. Would recommend if that's what you're craving/looking for and okay with the price. The place is pretty small and there isn't a lot of parking spots in the area. If you go during peak time, may need to parallel park. We tried the steak tartare appetizer and it was delicious. People at the table either had the 12 oz NY Strip or the 16 oz Ribeye and all enjoyed it. My only thing is the sides. They were pretty basic which isn't a bad thing, just FYA. I also wished the mushrooms weren't overcooked. They looked burnt. For dessert, got the Chateau Les Justices Sauternes. Was good, but not the flavor profile I like, so wouldn't get that again. Lastly the staff was friendly, appreciated him explaining everything and answer our questions. Side note: They did say they are gluten friendly when we called, doesn't hurt to check again though and for specific dishes you want. read more

High quality steak cooked perfectly. The sides were really good too. We especially enjoyed the roasted mushrooms. The waiters are very friendly and service was great. I highly recommend Guerra! read more

Check it out if you have a craving for steak. Tiny, half a building. Ambiance felt like they were trying to go for an old school NY vibe. A lot of steak options but not much else besides that. Brussel sprouts had a nice crunch. Mashed potatoes were too creamy. Filet mignon was full of flavor and juicy. NY strip was a little tough. The lava cake was delicious. Not too rich and had a few chocolate flavors. read more

Guerra Steakhouse has been on my list for years! I went for my birthday last weekend. They were able to accommodate my slightly larger party. I was so appreciative! The ambiance was lovely! It was an intimate space with seating outdoors as well. There are heaters if you decide to sit outside. I had the Giant Shrimp Scampi which was delicious! I could've just filled up on that and been fine. They were able to accommodate my allergies to dairy and my pescatarian diet. I also got the salmon well done with asparagus. It was perfect! Everyone else had the rib-eye and lobster Mac and cheese not realizing that the steak comes with mashed potatoes. They said the mashed potatoes tasted homemade and melt in Your mouth! The steak was very tender as well! The bread was delish! If you go, you definitely have to try the sangria! We all had a great time! They took a group pic for us and we were the last ones to leave! I will be back! Absolutely loved them. read more

Small intimate steakhouse where the original Ray's The Steaks used to be. Parking is limited, usually packed at dinner time; be prepared to find street parking. Service was pretty good. It was a slow mid-week, as there was only one other party eating when we were there. Tips: 1. Order salad dressing on the side, a little too much when I got my wedge. 2. My party ordered Peppercorn Bone-in Ribeyes, all got cooked above what we ordered. One was too well-done that it was returned. 3. Sides were OK, not to the level of a high-end steakhouse. 4. Presentation of the Smoked Old Fashioned was pretty cool, but it had too much simple syrup and was on the sweet side. read more

This was one of the first places that I bookmarked for my trip. All the reviews looked fantastic. All the 5 star reviews are on point. I'm so glad I visited this place at lunch time. I was told it fills up in the evenings. I was about to order a glass of wine, but decided to get the Guatemalan Sunrise after seeing the cocktail menu. They really need to put their cocktail menu online. I would have never known they had such unique and refreshing cocktails. The ingredients are homemade watermelon, Guatemalan guava puree, prosecco, and moscato. Doesn't that sound amazing? It truly was wonderful! I'd get it again. The orchid made it look so tropical. A very good first impression indeed. It really was a toss up between this cocktail and El Tamarindo. They both looked great on paper. Then I got the steak frites, but without the frites. I substituted it for the steamed broccoli with garlic butter. Everything was delicious, and cooked to perfection. The steak was so tender and had great flavor. It almost tasted like a cut of picanha steak with some fattier bites along the edge, even though the menu states that it's sirloin. It was just a great cut of steak. Oh, and that bernaise sauce left me wanting even more of it. It was good with the broccoli and the steak. I could really taste that lemon. Loved it! I would not hesitate to go back if I'm ever in Rosslyn again. The atmosphere is elegant. The service is great. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I kind of wish I had tried the flan, but I wanted to try other dessert spots nearby. Rosslyn is full of these gems. This particular steakhouse is a hidden gem. You don't really see it from the road. It's tucked away inside the Colonial Village Shopping Center near Eclairons on Wilson Blvd. I just happened to search for restaurants near the hotel and saw the rave reviews. I'm glad to have found it. read more
