The atmosphere was very loud and cafeteria like, which for almost 70$/person is not great. There was minimal space between tables, their goal is definitely 'seat as many people as possible without regard to customer experience.' The service was inconsistent. Three or four people came by, one was a manager because they thought we hadn't been helped yet as we were crammed in a weird spot. The person who brought my wine spilled the pre-measured portion on the table and down the side of the glass. The salad bar was not kept stocked and a lot of food was mixed together. The meat was poorly cooked - clearly cooked quickly to support mass feeding. It was way over seasoned/salted, well done on the outside and really bloody on the inside - finding 'medium' was impossible. If the meat went to another table before ours, our plates would be full of blood. If it came to our table first and we got the outside of the meat it was so oversalted / seasoned that it seemed to overcompensate for poor quality meat and was almost inedible. The water re-fillers couldn't keep up with the need for water due to the extreme saltiness. I was seated with my chair perpendicular to another guest around a corner, if she had moved her chair back she'd have hit me. The wine they offer at '8$ happy hour all the time' prices you can buy for 12$/bottle at Costco. For 2 of us we spent 160$ - next time will go to a high end steakhouse (capital grille was one the same block!) to get better food/atmosphere/service. Overall a very disappointing birthday dinner, terrible value for the money. Based on food quality/atmosphere/etc, if it had been 30$/person we wouldn't have minded as much. If you want an exceptional experience like this with quality everything for a lower price, go to Chima in Tysons.
