    Excellent experience as always. Our server Samya was just ahamazing.. She was on top of everything. Dishes were yum. Was not too fond of the fish we tried. Rest everything was delish. We said we will be sharing the main course and she actually got our food divided into half so we could each have our own plate. I mean you just can’t go wrong with this place. Ty for such delish food and hiring such amazing servers.

    Our Valentine’s dinner at DC Prime was fantastic. The ribeye had a perfect crust and was cooked perfectly. The Brussels sprouts and scalloped potatoes were delicious. Service was top-notch—our waiter was friendly, attentive, and made the night feel special. A great spot for a memorable dinner!
