INCREDIBLE time here. First of all, the service is OUTSTANDING! We could not believe how accommodating and welcoming the staff made this experience. They were so professional and seamless and made the celebration that we booked here go so smoothly. Big shout out to their manager, Jim. Now, the food: EVERYONE was happy! The best cuts were easily the mushroom ribeye and the New York Strip. Very generous portions and everyone cleaned their plates. The signature prime rib? I was expecting thinly shaved cuts of meat like anywhere else but it ended up being a HUGE thick slab of meat - could barely finish it. The smoked flavor was perfectly balanced and didn't taste artificial/liquid smokey at all. We loved the flatbread as well. Our favorite sides were the cowboy corn, cauliflower gratin, wild mushrooms, and creamed spinach. I can't wait to try the desert next time!!

I was looking for an outdoor space for a friend and I to meet at, and found this place on Yelp. I called ahead and explained that we were hoping for a quiet spot where we could sit away from the crowd, and they were so kind and accommodating. Setting up a reservation was a breeze, and the space itself ended up being so lovely. The service was awesome, and the food was *SO* good, high quality, healthy, delicious. I can't wait to go back!

Pleasantly surprised stopping by the bar for a quick pit stop while waiting for rush hour to die down. I had the smoked wings during the last few minutes of happy hour and my goodness they were perfect. The house made ranch dressing should be sold by the bottle - the best ranch I've ever had. I will definitely be returning for more wings and to receive Josh's amazing service and margaritas at the bar :) I can't wait to try to prime rib and everything else on the menu. They even have my fave, burrata salad! It is tucked away in an office park but it's still easy to find and plenty of parking and outdoor seating. I really loved the sink outside of the bathroom for quick easy cleanup after demolishing the wings...which is why i don't have food pics.

The meal I had at American Prime might have been the best meal I've ever had. We visited during DC restaurant week so we got their three course meal. I started with the potato and truffle soup which was so creamy and salty. Then I got the prime rib which I didn't even need a steak knife for because it was so easy to cut. It was juicy, cooked perfectly, and had enough fat on it, it was incredible. The green beans and mashed potatoes came as the sides and were delicious too, I wish I could have had a little more of them. I ended with the bread pudding, which was a nice palate cleanser after the meat. I also had a whiskey cider cocktail to drink that tasted like a fall day with a splash of cinnamon. The service was very good, we had two waiters that took our food and drink orders. They had a nice looking outdoor area with string lights and a fire pit, but it was snowing when we went so we ate inside. The inside is very upscale looking and felt very classy. I am not sure if they have a dress code, but you'll want to dress up when you go. They are located on the first floor of an office building not facing the main road so it is easy to miss, but you need to go and get that prime rib!

The prime rib here was delicious. The sides were also great. The mashed potatoes were creamy and the cowboy corn was tasty. I would definitely recommend the prime rib and the cowboy corn. They also made a great old fashioned cocktail. Since the location was a bit quieter and tucked away from the busy area of Tyson's, I wasn't expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was.

Based on what I got personally I wasn't too impressed. I think I should've gotten a filet mignon because the New York strip even at Medium was tough for me. The broccoli rabe needed something to cut a lot of the bitterness. I'm giving it a 4 regardless for ambience menu and taste. The flavouring is there and the Crab bisque is to die for! I was also served by Bibek and he gets a 5/5 for professionalism and speed as a well as helping me out with my suggestions! If I return I'd switch it up for sure

Met hubby here for lunch because he works nearby on Friday where my pm was free! We were greeted properly and ushered in as we opted for indoor seating. Dining room was okay with tables and booths covered in white cloths to emote fine dining experience, a bit cramped but intimate. By the foyer, two large clear walls; on one side, was a large clear glass fridge dry aging an array of whole prime ribeyes on shelves; and on the other side contains rows of wines on shelves! Ordered crab gazpacho and wedge salad for appetizers and Americans burger and brisket poutine for our main courses. All came plated very appetizing especially the burger in medium and poutine brisket. The brisket was tender, the fries were very tasty. I only wished they'd put just a little bit more gravy and cheese curd sauce complimented the plate very well. 4.5! We also had the bread pudding which had great texture of crumbs for topping and the key lime pie my hubby told me was nice and his fav! Cab Sav complimented my hubby's burger and I opted for the sav blanc which was crisp and light bodied! Our lunch experience here was superb especially when the Chef took the time to introduce himself (John) and asked us to try them again for they have great offerings at Hhr and dinner. Discovered he and Estuary's Michael Voltaggio are friends and he knew Brian too! Lol! Indeed, when I checked out the bar area it has a nice array of bar stools surrounding the large bar, which has direct access to the outdoor dining with plentiful of tables and chairs and probably lively in the latter day after lunch! Will definitely try again and bring friends along!

This place is a gem that I never knew about. Right in the heart of Tysons corner, is a steakhouse that offers an amazing selection. The general manager, Jim Sole greeted us and was so accommodating to where we sat. We had an indoor reservation, but chose to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. Our server was BIBEK and he was a star. We ordered from the restaurant week menu, and everything was so flavorful and tasty from the crab gazpacho to the halibut to the bread pudding. my friends ordered the prime rib and the rice balls that they loved. Mr. Sole would stop by to check on how things are going, and Bibek was always customer service oriented to meet our request. This place was a 10 out of 10!! We definitely will be back and highly recommend.
