   Overall this was a great experience for us on Valentine's day. The maitre' de (however you spell that) was very pleasant and gave my date a rose to give to me. Because it was so crowded we didn't get the tableside experience, but the experience we did have was so nice that we will be returning. Also.....we had the cheese wheel pasta this evening and the next day went somewhere that was supposed to be KNOWN for their cheese wheel pasta (in Arlington, if you know, you know) and hands down, this was better. ;)

   We went for Valentine’s Day. It was our first time. Overall we enjoyed our experience but had to give a lower on the value because we were charged $12 for steak sauce. For price you pay for a steak sauces should be complimentary and if it isn’t the waiter should inform you of the charges. Other higher end restaurants don’t charge so that was a big turn off. Bread should also be complimentary considering the prices here.

   Service was great!! Steak was also great!! I had a side order of Mac and cheese. I love mac and cheese. I have had a number of 'variations' and with very few exceptions I have enjoyed them all. There was something off with this mac and cheese. It tasted like it had been frozen for some time... anyway for the price I paid I expect excellent food. this means everything. I feel that if I am paying $300.00 (without tip) for a dinner for two all food and service should be excellent. Well this mac and cheese ruined that for me. Another note. Readers may feel differently, but let me explain. If I am going to pay top dollar at a steak house I prefer a traditional ambiance. Dark, wood ambiance. Classic examples would be Woodmont grille in Bethesda or Prime Rib (Baltimore location). The ambiance here is a combination of classic wood / steak house and sports bar. While some may like it, or not mind. Once again for the $$ I prefer a more classic environment.

   Second time we've gone there. So impressed from the first time, we chose it for our Valentine's Day dinner. It did not disappoint! Exceptional service, exceptional staff, and exceptional food. They even hired a quartet to come sing amongst the tables. If you're looking for an upscale restaurant that caters to your needs, serves the best food and offers the best list of spirited drinks, this is one you'll want to check out.

   My husband and I tried out Bourbon Boulevard for the first time as an early Valentine’s Day outing. Our server was amazing! She was very attentive, answered a lot of questions, and was very kind. I had started with a Sunrise Mocktail, but ended up not liking the taste, so I requested if I could switch to a Brazilian Lemonade. There was no issue, and the new drink was delicious! The food itself was good: definitely the highlights were the ribeye steaks with the toppings and sauces. The sides were okay. We had gotten the mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, and creamed spinach. I would say they needed more seasoning. We ended with their Bourbon créme brûlée, which my husband enjoyed. Overall, we enjoyed the experience, with some parts better than others! It was definitely worth trying at least one time.

   This was our first time here and we really enjoyed our food and rinks. Mason was our server and he was super friendly, walking us through the menu and chatting with us. We highly recommend checking their brunch out!

   This was an awful experience at every turn. For starters, the hostess sat walk in diners ahead of us even though we waited 10 minutes past our reservation time. Ot then took 90 minutes to receive our meals that were cold and overcooked. We were told they couldn’t bring is bread unless they charged for it and our water was never refilled. I eventually got the person from the kitchen to get us more water while our waiter chatted with other patrons. As for the restaurant itself, it is filthy and poorly decorated. Light cables drop from the ceiling like old spider webs and block views of the TVs which is a shame because I wanted to watch something while I waited 90 minutes for our steaks. The bathrooms look like a fast food restaurant that just serviced a stadium of people and hadn’t been cleaned since it opened. This is simply an overpriced shopping center steak house that gets its business because options are limited. Save your money and take the drive to RTC, Tyson’s Corner, or Washington DC and enjoy a good steak that’s properly prepared by someone who appreciates your business.

   Overpriced. Open Table listed this place as 2 stars for price. It's way over 5 stars for price. The ribeye was 90% fat. Dessert was dry. Supposed to be served with ice cream. Had to wait for the waiter to finally come by (almost 80% finished with dessert) to get the ice cream. If you want great steak, Capital Grille, Morton's, and Ruth's Chris are much better options.

    This restaurant is top shelf! The owner actually waited on our party and his staff supported the meal extremely well. We devoured our food as it was EXCELLENT. Don’t miss this one if you’re in the neighborhood and hungry. Great portion size and well designed menu.
