If ya want burgers/ribs and/or bar atmosphere, sit in the "bistro" area. Steaks/seafood are available in whole restaurant, but dining experience is more elegant in the "restaurant " area. Reservation
Washingtonian MagazineJanuary 9, 2012Steaks are of very good quality, from the $19.99 hanger to the $35.99 rib eye called a cowboy cut. They no longer come with free sides, but in steakhouse land, $5 for mashed potatoes is a steal.
The Crab Royale and Burgers are excellent! Have a Sidecar with it!
- Unfortunately, the restaurant closed permanently on February 27. It was a great restaurant with great people.
You can't go wrong with the NY strip. Try it with bleu cheese. And macaroni. And creamed spinach.
Heather SouleMarch 11, 2010Best Chocolae Mousse in the world. And the service is amazing - even the General Manager made several stops at our table to make sure we were enjoying our evening.
DevonJune 21, 2012Sides ARE free with steaks! Service is perfect - considerate without being overbearing.

Kris ConcepcionAugust 23, 2015Ordered the ribeye and everything was fine until we saw a mouse running through the dining room. May want to skip this place for a bit until they sort out the pest problem.
Uncle QuillisNovember 19, 2010The steaks are on par with the established restaurants in the area. Be sure to try the spinach!
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014Robert Wiedmaier, chef of Brasserie Beck, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Devilishly Good eggs. Read more
Brent JacksonAugust 9, 2010wants to visit Ray's the Classics. This place was listed in the February 2010 issue of Washingtonian Magazine has an article called "Best of Silver Spring".
JamieJune 29, 2010The bartenders here know how to make all the classic cocktails the right way. Be sure to treat yourself!
Greg StooksberryApril 16, 2010Steak good. Dessert was excellent. Highly recommend. Need to go take a nap.
You can order Hell Burgers on the bistro side. Don't forget the Piranha sauce! :) Read more
Erik MoeSeptember 13, 2009Grab a martini at the bar before seeing a real classic across the street at AFI Silver Theater
Tash ConcepcionAugust 23, 2015Do NOT eat here. We saw a mouse running around like it owned the place...in the main dining area.
