Hajer BushararOctober 17, 2016Tonight, I have asked for filet mother mignon and to be served according the chef recommendations .... I got the best medium rare ever. All other dinners were impressed too.
John DicksonMarch 22, 2017This is a very good restaurant with excellent steaks and sides to choose from. It's so good I've eaten there twice in four days while on business in DC
Steve TigheOctober 10, 2014It's got a great bar, Murphy's on tap, the chicken stuffed with Goats cheese is fantastic. Bar staff are fabulous
Paul BerumenApril 13, 2013We loved the casual atmosphere and noise level. Not to mention the ribeye was perfectly cooked. We'll be going back again.- Michelle SNovember 23, 2019Seafood tower was amazing! Only negative was lobster shells had a lot of water when opened which made it messy.
Kristina BerryMarch 8, 2014This place is amazing! Seafood, steaks, sides, drinks... you name it. It's a top of the line place.- dancingqueen fAMedevoLv3xionJuly 20, 2017way overpriced for mediocre food, they twice poured water in my cocktail. I paid 1/2 my bill in cash & server overcharged $46 extra on my bank card, that mgt refused to refund-THIEVES owe me+wine bot.
Michael WeisenburgDecember 5, 2013High tops at the bar with a good view. Great place to meet a friend for a drink after work.
Sit at the bar in the back, service is smooth and the drinks are strong. Laura will take care of you ;)
Matthew PhillipsAugust 13, 2013Ive been to BVG twice while attending corporate events. The food was delicious each time.
The Filet Mignon Toast! Probably the greatest thing I've ever had here.
Food Baby Mon MonJune 27, 2012Make sure to come see Will at the bar; great bartender, superb service!
- dancingqueen fAMedevoLv3xionJuly 29, 2017Thai calamari was swimming in sauce=not crispy&soggy,too chewy. Tiny Shrimp ceviche only a dollop of guacamole, not worth $20/app. They evaded my dispute, refused to refund overcharge on my bank card.
NakLewApril 6, 2011They're known for their steak, but the pork is amazing! And the service is impeccable
Stick to the burgers and salads. Do NOT order the fried chicken!
Blake GoberJune 9, 2010Great beer. Bartender named Laura is great. Good conversation, great service.
The grilled calamari salad is incredible. Don't mis it.
DebJune 15, 2012Waiter had terrible attitude and was rude. Service was slow. Orders were wrong. Worst place I've been all trip. Sure don't recommend.
Maya RiosNovember 18, 2012Servers were rude and unaccommodating. Got the fish and chips, it was bland and overpriced.
