Nice, intimate atmosphere. The lighting is very romantic. The food was decent, and the service was very much welcoming. It was my first time and for my birthday dinner. They brought out a lava cake with a "Happy Birthday". I would return to try their other selections.

For some reason, I waited about four years to finally try this place. My expectations were too high. Service was okay. Everyone seemed really nice. Place looked clean. Nice ambiance. Appetizer was forgotten about though. Service just seemed slow. Cups were empty several times. Pasta was bland. Cheeseburger was, a cheeseburger. Maybe we just ordered the wrong food and should’ve went with steaks at a steakhouse. Calamari was good. Lobster Mac was okay. Drinks were decent. I just don’t see myself coming back to pay a premium on average food. Maybe I’ll come back again and give it another shot. Overall, it was mid.

DC Steakhouse! Located in downtown Chandler, AZ steps from great hotels, live music, bars and most importantly bakeries 😋 This was my second visit and it was just as memorable as the first. We loved the appetizers, drinks, and steaks! I didn’t love the scallops as they seemed a bit too charred but you could tell they were high quality. The fire tables and laid back, classy atmosphere sets this steakhouse apart from the rest. Highly recommend! 🍹 Old fashioned and classic marg (not pictured) 🦑 Calamari 🍤 Shrimp cocktail (shrimp were amazing 🙌🏼) 🥗 Garden side salad 🥦 Grilled scallops with broccoli 🥩 16 oz ribeye

I recently dined at DC Steakhouse, and while the atmosphere and service were top-notch, the meal left something to be desired. I started with the 24 oz chopped beef steak, which was unfortunately underwhelming in flavor. It lacked the depth and seasoning I was hoping for, making it a bit of a letdown, especially for the price. Next, I tried the tomahawk steak, ordered medium rare. Sadly, it came out overcooked and too chewy, which made the experience even more disappointing. It was a shame because the cut had great potential, but the cooking just didn’t do it justice. On a positive note, the side salads were absolutely perfect—fresh, crisp, and well-dressed. They were the highlight of the meal for me. As for the cocktails, they had an overwhelming alcohol flavor. The drinks were a bit too heavy-handed, with the booze overpowering any subtle notes. While I enjoy a good cocktail, these didn't hit the mark. All in all, DC Steakhouse has potential, but the execution on the steaks and cocktails left me wanting more.

Came for happy hour on a Sunday night, and it was nice. Maybe a little more upscale than I was expecting. The house gin was super juniper-based, which isn't my preference, and made for a really strange martini. Was disappointed they charge an outrageous amount for a side of ranch but grateful they warned us in advance. The ribs weren't the style we prefer, but the steak sandwich was sublime. Overall it was a great happy hour stop!

Amazing experience. Very romantic setting. The service was great and each dish was cooked to perfection. Their steaks are flavored perfectly. The Mac and cheese side is delicious and their loaded baked potato was mouth watering.

So first off walking in, the atmosphere was really really nice! Everyone greeted you with a smile, that said a lot! We had two amazing waitresses, one in training and they both did a great job! Definitely recommend the onion rings! It tastes like they cooked each one individually! They were soooooo good! I did not like the garden salad, it’s just not my favorite. But my Steak….. was absolutely amazing! Cooked perfectly! My lady had lamb chops, and I have never tasted lamb chops that tender! Cooked to perfection! My sister is a steakhouse critic, so I told her she definitely has to come here! 10/10 for me ❤️

Beautiful / Classy Steakhouse ❤️ We frequent DC Steakhouse regularly and are never disappointed. Not only do they have EXCELLENT Steaks but their Seafood is AMAZING. We often go for date night and Celebrations and ALWAYS bring our out of town guests. Don’t forget to start at the bar… the bartenders will create you a FABULOUS Cocktail. 🍸🍹🍷Or pour you a wonderful glass of wine. Perfect time of year for outdoor dining on the beautiful patio too. Supporting our Local businesses is a Must 🇺🇸
