Drove out far as eff to eat at this restaurant in Ashburn called DC Prime. It's a steakhouse.

Overpriced, terrible service, oh and I got blood diarrhea a hour after eating there, so I'm guessing there's something wrong with the food handling there. The place was half empty too on a Saturday night so I don't understand why the service was so bad. Has such good reviews...I don't get why.

Please add to this list!

Obelisk. I was sad as I had been meaning to try it forever. But totally overrated/overpriced.

Ha! I read your title and came here to post about DC Prime in Ashburn.

I went there a few weeks ago with friends (their pick) and it was not a great experience. The place was pretty empty for 7 PM on a Saturday, yet it still took an hour to get our food. Then my steak that I ordered medium-rare was medium-well verging on plain well done. The server asked everyone to cut theirs upon delivery to check if they came out to specification and none were correct! How can you be a steakhouse that can't deliver properly cooked steaks?! They did correct the misfired steaks quickly, I will say that, but they were just okay and on the level of an Outback. I mean, for $50 I was expecting much better. The person in our group who got the crab cakes was complaining of stomach issues later.

Sock puppeting? Are you an ex-employee with a grudge? I can't believe a restaurant is consistently giving people stomach issues. The health department would shut them down in a heartbeat if that is the case.

Fiola Mare. Excellent but not spectacular.

Pineapple and Pearls. We only liked about half the dishes and one of our group got food poisoning.

This. I've never understood the hype for that place. And we had the worst service.

It feels like where my grandparents would take me to eat if I was one of the kids from St. Elmo's Fire.

Sushi Taro. Great, but not Michelin star worthy.

I know people rave about it and it received a Michelin star or stars (can't remember) but we were very underwhelmed at Tail Up Goat.
