Just had the most amazing steak dinner! It was practically melting in my mouth, and the sides were simple but perfect. The place was packed, so clearly it's a local favorite. The staff was super friendly and helpful too. Highly recommend checking it out!

Came here to celebrate my 40th birthday. This was my first time here. We parked on the street you will have to circle the block to find it.
We sat inside our waiter Stephen was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. We ordered a bottle of champagne from New Zealand and it was delicious.
For appetizers we ordered the biscuits with pimento cheese, the liver bread and the cob salad. It was delicious and the bacon just melted in my mouth. The salad does come with a lot of dressing so would suggest half the size. Everything was shareable sizes as well. For our main course we got the wagyu steak medium rare and a sirloin medium rare, potatoes and creamy spinach. The food was delicious.
For desert we ordered the toasted marshmallow ice cream and the ginger snickerdoodle cookies. They ask brought it out with a candle and 3 mini cake pops. The cake pops were chocolate and very rich as well.
Service was a 10/10 highly recommend to come the meat is also from a local farm in Maryland as well.

The ambiance and the food both were absolutely great. They have a large wine collection (over 1k bottles) and a small food menu and this usually keeps the consistency of the quality. The lamb steak is a must-try item if you like lamb.
Interesting facts about the pricing. While the prices of the food are pretty reasonable, the drinks are a bit on the high side. $ 20-28 per a glass of wine, including tax and tip. So you may want to factor that in your planning.
Issues with payment methods: one cannot use an electoric debit payment or Apple pay. My table spent a long time trying to pay for the check. We had to get the manager to help us out, and it was not the best way to end the dining experience.
Parking: There are plenty of parking spaces in the area, including a garage. The garage is free for 3 hours as of today (Oct. 2023), so feel free to bring your car.
Happy dining!

Brunch was surprisingly economical for the high quality and decently large portion sizes we got! For two people, we got two drinks, monkey bread, French toast, avocado toast with an egg, and it all cost under $40!

Just walking in I knew I was in for a dining experience like no other. The lighting and the atmosphere was absolutely breathtaking, the service was A1, the staff were friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu, AND THE FOOD WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Everything we ordered was exploding with flavor! Definitely a place I plan on returning to and trying their other menu items.

Don’t skip desert! The deserts are all made in house. Our table ordered all of them and everyone was happy they did! The waitress mentioned they have some seasonal desserts coming soon and we will be back to try them. We had the lunch menu, which offers a smaller selection of entrees and steaks. Everything we tried was excellent! However, the buttermilk biscuits were a highlight of the whole meal.

As a southern native, I prefer softer biscuits, but everything else was stellar. Overpriced? Probably, but it was delish. I would absolutely return.
I went again for lunch on Friday and the steak was definitely not as good. I asked for garlic butter, but I do not think that was what it was missing. Disappointed by that, but the sandwich was pretty much the same and we got to sit inside where the decor is nice.

Excellent place to get a steak.
The steak is best in class, literally melts in your mouth. The sides are good too even if the options are not the most varied.
You can see by the number of people there that it is an extremely popular place for a good reason.
The staff is kind and helpful.
All in all a superb dining experience.
Definitely recommend.

Brunch! Okay, so I do maybe still enjoy a good brunch and St. Anselm makes it happen. Great (but also astoundingly loud) atmosphere and their staff is wonderful. Good, simple food and a decent beer selection. You're buying 9oz beers, FYI, but that just means you can have more of them! Definitely make a reservation and be prepared to yell at your brunchmates to converse.

Came here twice last weekend while staying in the area—overall had a good experience. Both times were walk-ins but there were available seats at the bar. Nice vibe at the bar!
Food wise—would recommend the New York Strip and Salmon Collar, both well flavored. The Baby Iceberg was okay too—comes with a huge thick bacon strip! The bar looks fully stocked, with lots of good quality bourbons & whiskey. The Irish Coffee is a nice brunch cocktail.
