Randy's Prime Seafood and Steaks — Restaurant in Tysons

The ambiance, service, and cuisine here are nothing short of exceptional; a rare combination that feels both elevated and warmly unpretentious. From the moment I stepped inside, it was clear that this establishment understands not only how to deliver a fine dining experience, but also how to make a guest feel genuinely welcomed.

It was my first visit, and what initially drew me in was their offering of the ribeye cap, a cut so prized and elusive that few restaurants bother with it, given its small yield and high cost. That alone was enough to pique my curiosity and, ultimately, win me over.

We began with the Lobster Bisque ($19), which we decided to share. The staff graciously divided it into two bowls, an understated gesture that spoke volumes about their attentiveness. The portion is generous enough for two, though the bisque's velvety texture and rich, balanced flavor could easily tempt you to keep it all to yourself. I exercised restraint, saving room for what was to come.

Next arrived the Pressed Spicy Tuna Sushi ($24), a layered presentation of Ahi tuna, avocado, sushi rice, spicy tuna, and Unagi sauce. I'll admit, I didn't expect much beyond a pleasant starter, but it turned out to be one of the evening's surprises. The textures were perfectly calibrated, and each bite offered a clean yet lingering finish of spice and sweetness.

Then came the stars of the night: the Award-Winning Snake River Farms® American Wagyu Filet Mignon (6 oz, $69) and the Wagyu Ribeye Cap (5 oz, $66). Both were cooked to a flawless medium rare. I added a touch of Béarnaise ($4), not because it needed it, but because sometimes indulgence calls for ceremony. While I firmly believe a truly great steak should stand on its own, the Béarnaise brought a subtle richness that elevated each bite.

The Ribeye Cap, however, was a revelation. Rarely seen on DMV menus, this cut was so tender it could be cut with a spoon, meltingly soft, intensely flavorful, and perfectly seared. Though I found myself wishing for a slightly larger portion (I've seen 8-10 oz elsewhere), the quality was beyond reproach. The leftover Béarnaise even found new life the next day, drizzled over asparagus and salmon, a small luxury worth noting before letting any of it go to waste.

Dessert was a pass for us this time, though it's worth mentioning that the carrot and chocolate cakes are showstoppers. Portions are generous, I think a quarter of a cake, ample enough for three or four guests and by all appearances, they were met with unanimous approval from neighboring tables.

All in all, the experience was superb from start to finish refined without pretense, indulgent without excess. I'll certainly return the next time I'm in the area, and I recommend booking ahead through OpenTable or Resy.

A restaurant that not only honors its ingredients but also its guests,this is the kind of dining that reminds you why eating out can still feel...

I thought I planned the perfect birthday party for my wife! Let me tell you the story:

Wednesday, reserved table for 10 people online. Thursday, asked them to increase 10 people to 12 possibly 13 with kid. Okay no problem, asked them where will we be sitting. I was told that we would be sitting in their largest table which the floor is elevated and in the corner. Great, excatly what we wanted. Friday, Asked them if I could bring a birthday cake and was told they don’t accept anything from outside. Asked them I need b.day cake, I was told to call Best Buns, because they only work with them. When I called they told me to come in. Went there after work, they said that they cannot, they at least need 48hrs. I told Best Buns cashier? I just talked to you guys 2 hrs ago and was told I have to come in, and I can still place it and the server from Randy’s will be coming here and picking the cake up and bring it to your table. Not to mention, I was asked if I need any writing on the cake. Yes! A happy birthday Merve. Cool, right? Feels very smooth! In reality it wasn’t. Terrible. Saturday(dinner time8:15pm), even though we did have reservation, they made us wait for 15minutes. Then they sat around the table at 8:30pm. The table was not in the corner. The floor was not elevated. We were literally middle of the restaurant with surrounded by 10-15 tables. Server was nice but very slow! She could get lost for a long time and I had to get up just to pretend like I was going to restroom but looking for her. Food came around 9:30pm. Food was ok, definitely not prime! We had to wait 20 minutes for her to come back and collect the plates and renew the silverwares even though everyone was done with their plate. Then, the cake arrives at 10:25pm. Giant plain wedding cake that does not have any letters on the top. I asked server about the missing message on the cake, she said that they never do that. Hmm? Then, why the person who was taking my order asked me to write on the paper what that I want to be written on the cake. She calls manager. Manager sorries and trying to give me gift card. I declined. Then manager left. Then another manager came offered the same. I declined and said that I won’t be coming back here anymore. Then, he says they have 17 other restaurants which I can use gift card. I declined. Total bill was over 1,5k. Asked for the check, waited another 15minutes. Everybody was like we just wanna leave, complaining to my about what kind of a restaurant I chose. Terrible. I couldn’t say anything. I couldn’t say prime, I couldn’t say great one, I couldn’t even say a good one. Bill was still the same. No discount. I hate to be that guy, but I would never go back there again. My wife doesn’t tell me but this was her worst birthday party by far. Anyways, I am tired to even go in more details. Do yourself or a loved one a favor and choose...

A Night to Savor at Randy’s Steakhouse – A True Hidden Gem After hearing whispers about Randy’s Steakhouse through Pull Up DC, I knew it was finally time to see what all the hype was about. Let me tell you, this wasn’t just a dinner; it was an experience that left my taste buds singing and my heart full. From the moment we pulled up, the warm glow of the restaurant invited us in, and the valet parking made arriving a breeze. Stepping inside, I was struck by the balance of rustic charm and elegant refinement. The ambiance was perfect for date night—dim lighting, soft jazz in the background, and an inviting energy that made us feel right at home. We started with the lobster crab cake and shrimp cocktail from the raw bar. The lobster crab cake was decadent—lump crab meat with just enough lobster to elevate the dish. The shrimp cocktail? Let’s just say the shrimp were so plump and fresh, I almost felt guilty dipping them into the tangy cocktail sauce (almost). For the main course, I couldn’t resist the American Wagyu filet, and my partner opted for the Miso Sea Bass. My steak was perfection—a beautiful crust on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, cooked medium rare just as I like it. The Miso Sea Bass, though? It was so buttery and flavorful that I kept stealing bites off my partner’s plate. We paired our entrées with the truffle mac and cheese and duck fat fries. Let me just say: whoever created those duck fries deserves an award. We wrapped up with the famous carrot cake, which truly lives up to the hype. It was moist, rich, and topped with a cream cheese frosting so good it felt like a warm hug. The staff here are masters of their craft. Our server was attentive but never overbearing, offering thoughtful suggestions and ensuring everything arrived at the perfect pace. It’s the kind of service that makes you feel cared for, elevating the experience even further. After our incredible meal, we capped the night with some premium Pull Up DC goodies. Nothing beats winding down with their curated collection after indulging in such a decadent feast. A perfect pairing to an already flawless night! Randy’s Steakhouse exceeded every expectation. From the warm hospitality to the impeccable food and cozy ambiance, it’s a place that’s not just about eating—it’s about savoring every moment. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just treating yourself, Randy’s is where unforgettable evenings are made. I’ll be back soon, and next time, I’m bringing friends to share in the magic. Don’t sleep on...
