St. Anselm

St. Anselm named one of the top 8 best steakhouses in D.C.

St. Anselm resisted a steakhouse label when it rolled out. “We’re a tavern at heart,” says general manager Anna Utevsky. “Simple ingredients cooked well,” she adds — and a packed house affirms. Spins on steakhouse classics elevate the eating. The crisp surfaces on the mashed potatoes come from their being seared in bacon fat, and the nicely beefy New York strip, jump-started with a peppercorn sauce, is finished with a drizzle of garlic butter. The loose creamed spinach, seasoned with fresh nutmeg, tastes mostly of the vegetable (not always the case in every steakhouse).
