Charlie Palmer Steak Washington, DC, located in the United Brotherhood of Carpenters building, is dedicated to another fine master craft: bold American food. Under the direction of Executive Chef Zach Long, the menu not only stars the best American artisan beef cuts like an aged Angus Rib-eye "Cowboy" Steak but updated locally sourced seafood dishes, like Chesapeake Bay Oysters and Soft Shell Crab Fritto Misto.

Much more than a steakhouse, the timelessly stylish restaurant moves the political power meetings out of the back room and into private dining spaces, sleek enclaves of dark wood. Located off the wide, open expanse of the National Mall, Charlie Palmer’s Steak’s rooftop terrace can accommodate 400 guests for private events, offering the city’s most impressive view of the Capitol.

The restaurant accepted my reservation on a day they were actually closed. I arrived and the doors were shut. Everything on my reservation was accurate, they just didn’t update their time in the app. Totally unacceptable.

We had to go looking for a hostess. Eventually she came. Then she made us wait to get seated. The restaurant was almost empty. Once seated it took 15 minutes for someone to take our drink order. Our food was bland was at best mediocre which I get for a prix fixe but everything was cold. Like it had been sitting out all day. It was an expensive meal and throughly disappointing. You should be embarrassed,

What had once been a great DC restaurant has become mediocre and I understand why they are permanently closing. Have been to their new location in NYC at the Knickerbocker Hotel and it is a sorry excuse to its former location across the street on 42nd. Charlie Palmer is now serving poor hotel quality food versus his former gourmet standard.

Sorry to see Charlie Palmer DC go. We have enjoyed many special meals there and always had a wonderful dining experience. It’s a bit noisy if you are close to the open bar, but the food is top notch.
