The Third Rail — Restaurant in Washington

I’ll start with this. It was not very busy and I dined alone. But still was waiting constantly for anything and everything. Barely checked on me. I believe his name was Alexander/Alex. He was waiting a table next to me. And checked on me more than my own server did. I wish I could have had him as a server.

I travel far and very often. I rarely write reviews but had to for here. I got the steak Frites. I ordered my steak medium. Again, I will say that the steak was far from medium. It was well done (I assume because my server was ignoring me all night; the steak was resting in the window and continued to cook). The steak was still good, fat was melting and seasoned perfect. The frites (fries) were par. Just fries.

I also got the raspberry cheesecake. This was very good. Very rich for my liking but still very good all around. The service is what I would say brings this place down. Will not be back myself, but still worth a try for...

My wife and i wanted breakfast close to our hotel and this looked like the right spot. Pictures on line are inaccurate as breakfast was a buffet of bland cafeteria foods that were extremely overpriced. Service was underpar due to the fact everyone going in was basically being suckered. Upon paying the check the waitress says their computers are down and must pay with cash. Conveniently they have an ATM with a $5 ATM fee. Why were there no signs posted and why didn't the waitress advise people upon entering that they were experiencing this sort of problem?? Because they knew many people would walk away since most people pay with cards these days. Therefore that's why i say they are playing people for sucker's. I do not recommend this place in the least!!! If I could I would give negative stars because they don't deserve one. Complete trash, don't waste your hard earned money...

Pass. They had only a handful of entrees and due to a fryer issue, they couldn't even do a couple of those. The positive is that the wings they ended up baking for me, although taking a really long time were tasty. But my dinner never came. They could only offer substitutes for things that weren't even close. The manager did come by voluntarily and offer to comp a second drink for us. But I had only planned to come out and have one drink with dinner. The waitress may have been very new, or at least I hope. The kitchen was trying the best they could to work down equipment. But thinking outside the box wasn't their specialty. I could have gone there again but I took a taxi out after that and never ate there again on...
