Our waitress was amazing! Steak was very delicious.The biscuits had exceptional technique and were very fluffy (similar to a well-done croissant).Mushroom toast was very delicious as well.Oysters were very delicious as well.Mango sorbet was very floral / aromatic and was well-done, but you might opt for an ice cream, as it does have some sour notes.Sparkling cider at the end was an exceptional finish.Atmosphere was very fun and unique - would highly recommend coming here! Didn't like the okra, but that was probably because of the flavor profile (cajun bordering on bitter). Compares well with steak I've had in Texas / Japan.

Came here for Easter weekend brunch, and I wanted to like the place more but I will call this a good enough spot of a brunch spot. Food was decent but was on the pricey side (for a NYC foodie): - The buttermilk biscuits were phenomenal -- fresh, soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. - Also loved the blue crab deviled eggs, highly recommend. - The steak & eggs was alright; portion was on the small side, and taste-wise nothing to write home about. - The crispy chicken sandwich was on the dry side and can be more seasoned.Definitely had better elsewhere. Otherwise, my group loved the location and the restaurant vibe, but didn't get to fully enjoy since we were placed in the back room for our table reservation.Still, great service by the staff! Last point is that finding parking can be tricky given the time of day.There is a parking lot across the street or street parking.

I had heard a lot of recommendations about St Anselm when I was planning my trip to D.C., so I definitely wanted to check this steakhouse out, and I was not disappointed one bit - this place is fantastic! My personal recommendations are the pimento cheese and buttermilk biscuits, the bacon-fried mash and the prime T-bone, as well as the ice cream - my one was made with freshly toasted marshmallows! The service was fantastic too, and the atmosphere was excellent as well - a true gem! My sole regret is that I only went once; next time I’m in D.C., I think I’ll be stopping by a fair few times :)
