Additional Details
RPM Steak is located in the heart of Washington D.C. and aims to provide a refined and memorable dining experience. The restaurant is known for its extensive wine list and craft cocktail program.
The food, atmosphere and service is exceptional. Our server was excellent, adding a little drama to our meal. The wine list was extensive. We had the Prawns, Branzino, Shrimp Scampi, and Eggplant Parmesan. All fresh, well seasoned and flavorful. Topping the dinner off with the Roasted Pistachio Gelato and the 14K Chocolate Cake. What an absolutely wonderful dinner experience 😋.
Superb! Both the food and service were excellent. The grilled octopus was the best I have ever had. Everyone truly enjoyed it. Two on our table ordered from the gluten free menu. They said the best gluten free chicken parm and the best glue free eggplant parm ever. Sul was our waiter and took great care of our table. Will definitely come back every time we come to the AWS conference.

We had a table of seven, and Tim was one of the finest servers we’ve had in a long time. He quickly felt like the family friend everyone secretly likes more than one of their actual uncles.
He handled our rambunctious group with patience and humor, made excellent recommendations, and guided us through a fantastic evening.
We started with oysters, crab bruschetta, prosciutto, and probably a few other things I’m forgetting. The grilled bread may have been my favorite bite of the entire night, and I’m still not even sure which appetizer it came with.
Everyone loved their entrée. The only minor criticism came from the two people who ordered the Lobster Fra Diavolo. The lobster itself was cooked perfectly, but the sauce was closer to mild than “diavolo”—and we prefer our spice very hot. That said, we still happily ate every bite.
The tiramisu, pistachio gelato, and cheesecake were all excellent. The desserts were easily shareable in size, though certainly not in spirit.
Between the wonderful food, lively atmosphere, and Tim’s exceptional service, RPM gave our family a memorable evening. We would absolutely return.

We were there five of us for dinner at a conference. Excellent service and great food! I had wild mushroom risotto and a very fine Italian wine the name i forgot! Very tasty and just the right portions. Had pistachio Gelato for dessert. Tasty but felt very light. Overall very good! Will be back sone time.

One of my favorite restaurants in DC. Still like the vibe, music and decor in the bar and main restaurant area. Been here many times since my last review eight years ago. Their happy hour is really good, so if you are in the area during those times, I would definitely go to the bar area.
For appetizers, I usually get their Wagyu Beef Carpaccio - it is one of the best ones I've had. Other standouts are their Shredded Brussel Sprouts - this dish made me actually like Brussel sprouts-lol. This has avocado, toasted breadcrumbs, and pickled peppers and the Truffled Garlic Bread - so good.
For main dishes, my daughter just raves about their Maine Lobster Ravioli. She loves this dish so much. It's the only dish she orders. Actually, you can't go wrong with any of their pasta dishes - Spicy Dungeness Crab, Short Rib Bolognese and Mama DePandi's Bucatini. Other mains we really enjoy is their Prime Dry-Aged Bistecca Fiorentina - this can feed two people, and it's priced at $175, but I think it's worth it. Steak is really good. Also, I really liked their Mediterranean Branzino.
Cocktails are great, especially their Old Fashioned. Service has always been top notch here. Can't wait until RPM Steak opens in downtown DC later this year!
