First time at BLT in DC. Loved it! Our server, Keith, was awesome and made this experience a better one. Food was GREAT and the dessert was the cherry on top! We'll be going back!!

The restaurant is old but we’ll maintained. The service was perfect and the food was as expected (but not special). That doesn’t mean bad, just no surprises which is good. I sometimes hope for a wow but do like getting exactly what I order. I was surprised that I went with a non Napa Cabernet but they won me over. We had the tuna, Brussels sprouts with bacon, shrimp cocktail, and short ribs. Then a peanut butter mouse for dessert. You’ll have a good meal if you go and love the service, but for the price there is much better atmosphere wise. Atmosphere is important to me so that would be the only reason I wouldn’t go back. If they update the restaurant I would absolutely return.

I walked in on a Saturday night to a very dimly lit, almost empty steakhouse and was a little skeptical of my upcoming dinner. The decor was outdated and unimpressive, reminded me of a spruced up diner with dim lighting, but it was clean and without clutter. The bar had maybe 10 seats of which only 1 was occupied so I bellied up. Tiffany made me the perfect cocktail and was super friendly... maybe a little too intrusive with some personal questions but nonetheless she was great. I had the filet that was juicy, tender and cooked to perfection but I wasn't blown away by the flavor. The baked potato was huge but the skin was so tough. I would have much rather had an Outback baked potato. The asparagus that was presented in a little cast iron crock was perfect and sooo good! Oh and that puffy Gruyere cheese bread was unbelievable!! I definitely will return but probably just for the bread and asparagus and something other than a steak.

This is a great Steakhouse. The food was excellent from the appetizers to the main courses to the desserts. My favorite was the 36oz Porterhouse Steak. I was coped to perfection and it melted in my mouth like butter. The chicken was prepared with a lite crispy skin and juicy inside. We also had the short ribs which were tender and falling off the bone. They have a very unique fluffy, buttery and cheesy bread that is a perfect starter. I highlighted recommend this restaurant for special occasions, but be prepared to pay the price for the great food and service.

Overall we did not have a great experience. We were very hopeful after seeing reviews. We should have known we were in for an evening when the waiter was very short and did not answer any of the questions we had regarding the food. Let’s start with the good. We ordered drinks and oysters to start. The drinks were great as well as the oysters. This is where to good stopped. We ordered our steaks (cowboy ribeye medium rare and a NY strip medium) we also asked how big the sides were and were told that they were a shareable size for two. So we ordered the mashed potatoes and the asparagus. Steaks came out…. Ribeye was cooked medium and the strip was medium rare, both steaks were surprisingly tough to not only cut but also to chew. On top of that neither steak had much flavor to speak of. The mashed potatoes and asparagus were both good but would hardly call them a shareable size. Our waiter also never came back over to our table to check on us or our food until we were two bites away from being finished, despite going to the table next to us at least three times to check on them and their food. Overall I did not think the food was worth the price and would not recommend. Glad to see others have had positive experiences.
