Charlie Palmer Steak DC

"A meal at Charlie Palmer is really about two things -- power dining and steak." Full review

"Power mongers and their minions plot the course of the nation from the roomy, steel-blue booths, dining on roasted foie gras, frothy seasonal soups, and of course all things steak." Full review

"You might "find your congressman" at this "top-end" Capitol Hill chophouse, where lobbyists get "whiplash" scanning the "sleek, sophisticated" room." Full review

"Easy decisions made easy: the well-known restauranteur does DC right in the UBC building a few minutes from the Hill."

"No surprise, the menu is just as powerful as the restaurant, and the food, even at lunch, focuses on beef---hanger steak, tenderloin, burger, filet mignon salad." Full review

"In addition to the expected filet mignon and dry-aged rib-eye, the kitchen sends out fine seafood and dishes that surpass routine steakhouse items." Full review

"Fine wine and world-famous steak--a splurge for wannabe high rollers."

"Sleek space with dramatic, floating “wine cube,” Capitol views, American wines and Jeffery (CIA) Russell sending out oysters, “cowboy” ribeye, Maine lobster, rich sides." Full review

"Before digging into the main course, sample one of the restaurant’s excellent seafood starters, like cold blue crab cocktail or poached prawns with lemon aioli." Full review
