Had the most basil tom salad , and lamb chops which were awwwwesome sauce. Didn't get to the lobster Mac+cheese, but the tasting bite was oh so good. Like I need the recipe!

Melissa Andrews

Everything is amazing. Cesar salad is a little tangy , not the original creamy kind but it was fantastic! Great selection of wine and cocktails . Prosciutto wrapped mozzarella kinda tastes like bacon .

Shanda McGowen

French onion soup is delicious, ribeye is superb. Cone salad is always a winner. Ask for Neal - has the best personality and offers wonderful pairings as well as night life activities.

Shane Hector

Everything was good. The food, the service was good. The waitress we had was so good. The only thing bad was the damn valet because he asked me for a tip. I'm like wow.

Lets be clear: TCG makes an AWESOME steak . If you want they very best, ask for the Filet Mignon , pepper crusted in au poivre sauce . If you like more marble the Ribeye is also to die for.

We had an amazing lunch here this month. Kylie took great care of us during our dining experience. The lobster and crab burger was delicious! I added a cup of the lobster bisque to top it off.

????Coco

Obviously a great steak house , however don't forget about the details, the Stoli Doli , French onion soup , clam chowder , and creamed spinach are worthy additions!

Montaha Hidefi

Best place in Washington...we went back 3 times within 2 days.. the calamaries with spicy bell peppers are the best calamaries i ever had in my life...

Jeremy Pac

The Filet Mignon , pepper crusted in au poivre sauce was easily one of the top 10 steaks I have ever had. Great atmosphere here too.

Kevin Weise

Booking a table is a must - use open table an gain points at the same time . Great for the steak lovers but sadly not good for the steak eaters veggie partners not even one veggie option .

Daniel Burton

Best place to eat on Pennsylvania Avenue. The bacon was great! Believe me I have eaten at every restaurant in DC.

Chocolate hazelnut cake . After a bone in , steak tartar , Caesar salad and lobster Mac and cheese ... Maybe is too much

Sophia E.

Classic american steakhouse . YUM! The portion of fries is gigantic, btw. One will feed three people.

Melissa DelaCalzada

Just do it. Since you'll want all the sides, get some as appetizers like the Vidalia Onion Rings . Lobster Mac and Cheese to die for. Kona-crusted anything rocks. And can't go wrong with Filet Oscar (u

Jim Lowden

Visited while in D.C. on business. Amazing restaurant , fantastic food, "hob-nob" with the politicians and celebrities who go there to 'see and be seen'. Pricey !

Michael Singletary

One of the best cocktail lists around. Unique and crafted with care. Eat the fries at the bar !

Casey Knox

Pretty good clam chowder (too many potatoes , not enough clam ); Cesar salad is wonderful; bread selection is unique- pumpernickel is delish!

Hamed Negron-Perez

Best restaurant week place to go. Stoli-Doli, clam chowder and dry aged kona sirloin . Just awesome

Burger @ Wine for $25 until Nov. 11 with great choices of Silver Oak Cabernet or Belle Glos 'Las Alturas' Pinot Noir

Everything is great, the calamari with hot cherry peppers and of course the bone in ribeye Del Monico is the very best anywhere.
