Is there a place in Washington DC that serves massive steaks?
I would just like to say thank you to everyone who has replied to this post. My wife and I are now back from Washington DC.
We ended up eating at Rays the Steaks, which we both enjoyed very much. I personally had the big steak which I couldn't finish and my wife had the filet mijon in some kind of sauce. Both steaks were fantastic and cooked perfectly.
I didn't touch the mashed potato but my wife loved it. I did however LOVE the creamed spinach, never had that before and wow was it tasty.
We made a reservation and had to wait a few minutes to be seated. The service was fine, they were very very busy for a Wednesday evening.
My only real gripe I guess was with the noise, it was VERY VERY noisy and because the seating is kind of cramped it was difficult to have any kind of meaningful conversation. I also didnt like the fact that there were no coke/pepsi products, we both dont drink and I found it surprising not to have any of the regular cokes etc.
In total it came to around $80 for both of us, which I thought was fantastic value considering what we had.
Once again thank you to everyone who replied and offered suggestions.
Black Pudding in Washington DC?
I was honestly hoping to buy some. I have never tried blood sausage, is this the same as black pudding does anyone know? I presume blood sausage would be easier to get in Washington DC than black pudding.

Thank you all for the replies, my wife and I have decided to try out Ray's, on the basis of all the positive reviews it has received around here. Could someone tell me if it is still located at 1725 Wilson Blvd?
EDIT: OK I cant stand mashed potato, tell me they have french fries!
Black Pudding in Washington DC?
Is there anywhere in the Washington DC area that sells black pudding? I am from the UK and I cannot tell you how much I miss black pudding :(
Is there a place in Washington DC that serves massive steaks?
Does anyone know if there is a place in Washington DC that serves massive steaks? Just to clarify here I am talking really big steaks not this 16/24' ounce stuff.
I am British and since moving to the USA I have been on the lookout for a place that sells stupidly big steaks, but alas so far the best I have got is a 30' ounce steak that I had a butcher cut for me.
If there is not, then can someone recommend a nice place for my wife and I to have dinner. We will be in the city and using the metro. I am not really comfortable with posh restaurants, I prefer something casual but with nice big portions. We both like the standard fare, steaks,pasta dishes etc.
Ohh and whilst I am posting, are there any fantastic buffets in DC, again they would have to be in the city and accessible via the metro system. Maybe a Chinese buffet or something along those lines.
I scanned through the board and came across Fogo de Chao, but I am really not sure I want to be spending $150/200 for a buffet or any meal really. Not sure if that makes me cheap but it seems like overkill to me. This isn't a anniversary or anything special just looking for somewhere nice to eat beyond chains places like Red Lobster etc
