The food is excellent! The prices are super reasonable and they even give you a second round of steak for free. I definitely recommend this place. Be prepared for the fixed price set menu . ????

Bottomless bloody marys , screwdrivers & mimosas for brunch ? Yes, please! To eat get Medium Rare's Famous Benedict: sliced steak , portobello , mushroom , "the perfect poached egg ", topped w/ hollondaise.

The steak is one of the best ( if not the best) steak I've ever had in my life. The service was top notch and friendly . I highly recommend the secret sauce ????

Lindsay Pinsay

The steak,salad & frites or as us Americans like to call it "Fries " are by far the best in the city ! I love this place it is a great spot for a group of friends to meet and have a easy dinner !

Sarah

Everything is so good. One of my go to’s for date night , birthdays, and visiting family. It feels a little fancy since it’s a nice steak dinner but won’t break the bank

Nick Pamperin

Such a great place and affordable .....plus it's in Cleveland Park .....have drink nearby and enjoy a great night

Cesar Paniamogan Jr

Brunch is very popular for a good reason. The food is excellent!!! Make a reservation to ensure a table.

Sadie Noah

Loved the Concept! Dinner and Dessert were excellent. Pepe Le Pew speaking french in the bathroom was hillarious. I will definitely visit again and recommend. You must enjoy a noisy atmosphere.

Tammy Gordon

The French Toast at brunch is made with the same amazing bread they serve at dinner . It's got a great outside crunchiness with doughy soft inside!

Dennis Bailey

Great steak , fries , for$20. And just when you think you're done, they bring the second helping. You have to ask for ketchup though.

Nicolas Durand

We love this place and go there quite often. Their sauce is simply delicious,but leave some room for desserts !

Kenneth Westling

I would recommend a bottle of Malbec , specifically the "Simona Moenaert Estate" from Argentina. If you're not in the mood for wine , I would then suggest the Avery IPA , one of my personal favorites.

Lindsay D.

Bottomless Sunday brunch for $25, need I say more? The steak and eggs is wonderful! Be sure to make a reservation , this is a very popular place!

S S

There was only a prix fixe menu for the entire place. The only choice you get is for drinks and the temperature of your steak . One free refill on the steak and fries .

It's an average stake, ain't that's perfect. However, it tastes good. It's about full corse:start with bread and butter than salad followed by the stake and fries.The stake's sauce is the good thing.

It is really delicious the meat is perfect and the sauce very special

Neil S

Everyone knows it for the steak , but the secret sauce is my favorite part. And the brunch is excellent -- but reservations are recommended.

Stina P.

pre-fix menu is a great deal and includes steak with bearnaise sauce , fries , salad , and dessert for $20

Rob Finfer

One of the best places in Cleveland Park . It's simple steak frites . The service is great and the food us excellent.....Bravo

Rachel Sohn

Brunch is $23: bottomless mimosa/bloody mary/screwdriver with appetizer and entree. Portion of the entree is quite small.

Rachel Webb

Fantastic location for Sunday brunch . If you have more than 2 you should reserve a table because it gets crowded .

Christy Lewis

Delicious. Excellent place to take date. Haven't been here for brunch but heard there are bottomless mimosas . Here's a link to the menu: http://www.mediumrarerestaurant.com/

Lauren Varga

The never ending steak is your dream come true. The steak sauce is fantastic with the fries - ask for it on the side!

Janneke Boekhorst

Delicious steak and fries . Nice to get a "second round" of steak and fries . Nice concept!

Brandon Walton

It was delicious. We got the prix fixe menu and it more than enough. Definitely recommend this place

Ian Barry

Excellent. Pick your drinks and enjoy the food. Only one dish on the menu, and it's great.

Connie Haro

Great, moderately priced brunch . If you're alone, eat at the bar and make friends with the bartenders .

Rachel Stagner

Bottomless mimosas , bloodies, and screwdrivers at their prix fixes brunch . Amazing.

Detroit On Tap

Honestly, for $20, you won't find a better tasting steak , fries , salad and bread in DC

Dustin Haley

Steak and fries ... Pretty simple. Steals are cut thin, so if you order closer to the well side normally I'd go a bit more medium/rare.

Susan Bailey

OMG the food is fabulous- the brunch on weekends excellent too!

Kirk Gray

Get here, come here often! The steak is better than sex, no kidding! Trust me on this one!

mark

A) there's a secret vegetation option B) ask for the "spiked" hot fudge sundae for dessert .... That is all ;)

Julia Lord Nickle

The dressing on the green salad is super garlicky and to die for.

Brett Melillo

There is only one thing on the menu. Steak . Fries . And salad . That's what you get. That's it. It's excellent though.

Matthew Bogart

Great service and incredibly consistent fantastic steak .

Katie Runyan

Came for a Saturday brunch . While its certainly an inexpensive choice, the food wasn't anything to write home about & the drinks (mimosas in our case) were mostly orange juice .

Saud Alwasel

A good stake in DC. Highly recommended

Susan Bailey

Fantastic food- excellent service! 4 star bathroom - what more could you need?

Behrad Eats

Grandma's apple pie with vanilla ice cream is a good way to end a great dinner !

Theodore Kim

Tip for vegetarians : Order the off-menu vegetarian option .

Nick Ferrara

I recommend ordering the steak ...medium rare. Also make sure to order the side salad and bread

Jess U.

The free bread before brunch came out was actually the highlight for us.

Nick Wolfe

Good vegetarian option , makes for a good mixed-eating location.

Jen

Very good. Love the simplicity! So. Much. Steak ...

Elyse G

This is quite possibly one of the best places in DC to go on a date. Great food at a reasonable price! <aclass="entity url"rel="nofollow" href="http://bit.ly/dE24bM"target="_blank" data-sig="8fpWaaTov6SdhXZkZ82fnLNnjHY=" onmousedown="fourSq.ui.OutgoingLink.mousedown($(this), event)" data-source="tip-text">http://bit.ly/dE24bM</a>

Be sure to make a reservation , and still expect to wait at least 30min to get seated ????

Kenneth Westling

For a fixed price of $19.50, their award-winning culotte steak & hand-cut fries with secret sauce is absolutely delicious.

Rabia R.

I love this place. Great steak , yummy fries , delicious gravy . Can't go wrong.

To quote my dining partner, "we've eaten way worse for way more!" Tasty steaks , reasonable prices.
