A very Washington restaurant: leathery, meaty and expensive.

If I had paid $20-$30 per person for this meal, I would be satisfied with how good it was. As I paid close to $60 per person (with no alcohol), I was underwhelmed and will not be back. Of all the four star restaurants I have been to, this had the most inattentive service and worst food quality for the dollar. I never got a water refill the entire meal,and when I finally got a drink refill, it was warm and without ice. The potatoes au gratin were severely undercooked, the filet mignon, while tender, was lacking flavor and the cinnamon and spice bread pudding was virtually chemically free of any spice. Moreover, we were seated in a small room and the ambient noise was annoying. Also, the prix fixe menu included no side dishes at all.
I'm surprised to keep reading that the steaks are wonderful. The first and second courses were incredible. I dined with a group of 6 and we couldn't wait for our filet mignon and shrimp entree. Every person was disappointed. The inside was cooked correctly, but the outside was tough, as though it sat under a heat lamp in the kitchen for an extended period of time. I may give it another shot, but I'd never call it the best.
