Two years ago it was 5 stars ...it is now 1 star. Reason...beef prices are up and they have not raised prices to compensate as a result:
1. Very pushy with wine and bar menu. $9 FOR A BOTTLE OF PELLEGRINO YES $9 WTF??? The highest in town. Be warned they dont ask if you want another bottle, they just keep it coming!
2. Appetizers are tiny
3. $8 for french fries $12 for mashed potatoes....a tiny cup of mashed potatoes.
4. Desserts are a joke. The praline malt sundae use to be mostly icecream. Last time it was mostly whipped cream $11
5. They are very staff heavy and everyone has their hands out for a tip.

The Esquared Hospitality Rewards program is a sad sign of the times. Makes them on par with Ruth's Chris.

It is no longer a place I consider taking someone out for a special evening. The charm is over and it is just another overpriced bla DC steakhouse.

Bourbon Steakhouse at the Four Seasons still does a great job!
