Charlie Palmer’s is an excellent choice for delicious steaks and ambience. A bit costly and sides are not included with the entree.

We dined on a Thursday evening for my niece’s 21st birthday. The service was outstanding and food delicious. I would definitely love to come here again.

Charlie Palmer never disappoints. On a very hot July day, the food was wonderful, distance between tables comfortably appropriate, and service excellent. This was a business luncheon, and we felt comfortable discussing matters as there was no one proximate to us. The service was particularly attentive and kind -- two of the participants are on "wedding diets" as they each anticipate a wedding, and at the end of the meal the server brought 3 glasses of champagne and said, "congratulations on your upcoming weddings!" which was well beyond their service requirements. All in all, a lovely luncheon capped off by a very generous and thoughtful gesture.

First time dining at one of his facilities and will not be the last it was excellent

Consistently perfect!

Absolutely phenomenal service. Drinks were perfect. Do not skip dessert.

Amazing service and wine collection. Steak and lobster cooked to perfection. Great place to celebrate a special occasion!

The Pre Fixe selections are the way to go unless you want to spend a significant amount at Charlie Palmer’s Steakhouse. Excellent selections at a great price!

Everything was amazing: the food, the service, EVERYTHING. Our wait staff went out of their way to make our anniversary dinner special, and we truly appreciated every moment.

Great food and service is wonderful!!

The filet with bleu cheese and halibut were delicious! Excellent seafood platter in an age when raw bar items are hard to come by. Great martinis!

Awesome place to dine!

Outstanding across the board. Definitely will go back

Excellent experience!

Service by the staff is incredible, they are friendly and will go their lenghts to make sure you have a good time. Ask if you can go to the rooftop, its a great view, specially at night.

Overall the food was good and the service excellent. My husband's onion soup was delicious and our steak frites were very tasty, but the meat was more medium than the medium rare we had asked for. The accompanying asparagus was a bit underdone. Our table was wobbly and required the addition of a piece of cork (found next to the bottom of a table leg) to stabilize it. The table would also have benefitted from some white paint to cover the splotchy areas on all spots four sides of the table top. We could also have used candles to help us see the food and each other as night fell. I got the impression the restaurant was not 100% prepared for outside dining. But I very much appreciated being comped for a glass of wine and wonderful cheesecake in honor of my husband's birthday.

Amazing service and delicious food!

Live the food and fantastic service!

Food was great. Service severely lacking. Might still be getting there act together since recently reopening. Busboys and support staff more attentive than actual servers.

My Server was Awesome ..The Food was outstanding, I will be going back.

Great location, staff & ambiance. Food was disappointing as I was expecting a flavorful ribeye on par with Flemings and it wasn’t. 😞

Overall Good experience.

Best service I have had in a very long time! Food and drinks were fabulous!

Outstanding experience. Would certainly go back to this restaurant.

Our lunch was delicious, and our steak perfectly served. We ate outside and we will be back.

The ambience of the restaurant is superb. The service was good. I was disappointed in my steak. I thought the NY Strip was thin but it was cooked to my request. For the $58 price, I expected a better steak.

Staff was excellent and service was A+

Top Notch Service from Start to Finish. Our waiters were super patient with our 6 and 9 year olds. They knew when to refill glasses and to appropriate levels that were manageable for them. They provided a split dish for them to share and yet keep them feeling like that had their own order.

The Lavender Collins is a must to try! Great recommendation from the Manager, Derrick.

Derrick, was very accommodating and ensured a Fine Dining experience even for a family of 4. Courses were well paced and when kids began to get restless, they were able to speed dessert up to meet our needs and children’s attention span.

I would definitely recommend the experience and will be back. Maybe just with Mom next time.

always love this place for a business mtg, solid food and service. And you gotta love Lamar!

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday. We did the dinner for 2 and it was INCREDIBLE. A great amount of quality, delicious food with fantastic service. Will be returning.

The Prix Fixe menu was an excellent value. Service was outstanding, and my server replaced my cocktail to another one that I preferred, no questions asked. Outdoor dining was very pleasant and was able to hear the bell tower chime across the street and see many joggers go by.

We had a good time in spite of the server being overwhelmed. The dinner should’ve taken about an hour but ended up taking about 2 1/2. We were seated outside and by the time we were done we were eating and pitch black because the sun had gone down. We had a twice baked potato that was not that great and the rest of the food was average. I’d go back in a pinch but wouldn’t go out of my way.

Perfect great food and service as always!

Great place. Good food. Good service nice atmosphere. I recommend it highly

We had a wonder experience! They waiters are professional, very kind and ready to serve you to overall have a wonderful experience.

Great food and service. The Porter house steak was wonderful

This is a DC heavy-hitter steakhouse - it's been outstanding in the past - this experience was not outstanding. The staff seemed to be only half-interested in serving us with more people standing around than being attentive. The place was only half-full. The waiter took our drink orders and then we waited for 15 minutes before he realized we never got them. We ordered wine and food and all was fine - they brought my steak - which was entirely the wrong cut (I ordered the NY strip and ended up with some sort of ribeye) - luckily the matre-de noticed and quickly corrected it. But the steak was obviously hurried and just not up to what it should be at this place. We were hoping for an epic night out with great steaks, great wine and great service... the wine was great - the rest was lacking this time.

It seems like the kitchen is still getting back into the groove of high end dining. My fish was over-cooked and the sides lacked a some seasoning.

However, the waitstaff and bar staff were very attentive and did a wonderful job making us feel welcome.

I think being closed for such a long time was hard, but am confident the restaurant will recover to the top notch steak house we know and have loved for the last 10 years.

Outside seating was great. But felt neglected in terms of service. Our order was wrong. No refills for drinks until we asked and it was very late. Probably felt our order wasn’t high ticket enough so didn’t warrant the attention.

We went for our 25th Anniversary, as noted on the reservation, but they didn't even acknowledge that, which was fine. I ordered the DC Bibb Salad to start and unfortunately
it had zero flavor. I ordered the filet mignon medium rare, and it was good, but it came out very overdone. My husband had the Spring Risotto and he said it had good flavor but wished there were other vegetables to offset the starchiness of the ingredients. We also ordered a side of broccoli and Mac and Cheese. We both really liked the Mac and Cheese, but the broccoli was barely blanched and crunchy. I prefer mine soft, but even if I forget to request that most places cook it more than that. Overall, it was underwhelming and perhaps we went on a bad day, because the reviews were phenomenal, but I think we both agree we wouldn't go back.

Welcome back and it was like going home again. So glad Charlie Palmer's in DC has reopened. It was great to see familiar faces of the staff and as always the outstanding food and service.
