Reviews
When we go back I hope to get her as a server.
Thank you Sierra C.
Recently heard that we changed business hours. Totally understandable but it’s harder for us to pop by whenever we want.
Food is amazing always. Every time.
They keep a good standard. The food took time not fast. Steak is cooked to the way we want and they taste wonderful. Big shoutout to the chef and all kitchen staffs.
Service was great, we got everything we needed. No one with an attitude. Everyone is attentive and polite. Definitely can tell they short staffed.
The place is nicely decorated.
Definitely a day or night place when you want a good steak house food.
Overall we like this place!
Definitely come back and worth the price.
The food exceeded our expectations. I ordered the short ribs, and they were delicious and beautifully prepared. One piece happened to be mostly bone, and when I mentioned it, Manager Veronica immediately insisted they prepare a fresh plate. Her customer service was next level. Her voice was angelic, her demeanor warm and polished, and she truly sealed the experience for us. She made us feel valued and reminded us that we were dining somewhere exceptional.
Our server, Wendy, was outstanding. She was attentive without being intrusive and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Her recommendations and professionalism elevated our evening.
The experience was so amazing that we returned the very next night… and it was just as wonderful. During our second visit, Manager Desiree took the time to connect us with the team to host our upcoming wedding reception there. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, and her customer service is impeccable.
Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply want to make an ordinary night feel extraordinary, 1609 Prime Cuts delivers a memorable experience. We cannot wait to celebrate our wedding there!
We ordered the Lobster Mac—huge, rich, and absolutely delicious—and the Cheese & Braised Beef Short Ribs, which were incredibly tender and packed with flavor. Great wine selection at a very reasonable price; our favorite of the night was the St Kilda Cabernet Sauvignon.
That said, what truly made the night special was Miss Akeara. If you go, make sure she’s the one taking care of you. Soft-spoken, full of grace, with a warm personality that elevates the entire experience—she made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for.
Miss Akeara, gracias. You made a great night unforgettable. ✨
The restaurant’s ambience is truly modern and inviting. As someone who resides in Dumfries, this is a very welcome addition to upscale dining, and I was greatly surprised by the decor. I’ve visited many casinos locally and around the country, including Vegas, Atlantic City, Biloxi, Mississippi.
When I arrived at the restaurant, it was not busy at all. In fact, there were only a few people at the bar and another couple who came in at the same time as us in the dining area.
My server was excellent. The service was terrific, which I had heard was the most mixed part of the experience previously, due to staff turnover and inconsistent service levels for a fine-dining establishment.
Akeara was fantastic, I mean, truly remarkable, and coupled with the excellent management and leadership of Veronica Keller, they made the dynamic duo who saved my dining experience.
The food
I really enjoyed the calamari. It was fried perfectly. The two dipping sauces were fantastic. The rose salad is absolutely a star on the appetizer menu. I was a little skeptical about the crabcake because the way she described it sounded more like a fried crabcake than a pan-seared one. I think had she mentioned pan-seared, I would have likely gone with a crab cake, but I am certainly not disappointed in the calamari, and again, the salad was phenomenal.
The steaks were a different story. I think they marinate the steaks, although I got different answers from the server and the manager when I asked; however, the steaks were a great cut.
I saw someone get the bone in Tomahawk, which is presented nicely, hanging from a hook, with the Chef coming out to torch butter over the steak and vegetables beneath.
I got the New York strip. It was a very, very lovely piece of meat. The New York strip was severely underseasoned. In fact, I had to ask for steak sauce, which is a cardinal sin of any steak restaurant. I think had they used a little more salt, pepper, and garlic to finish the steak It would’ve been perfect. The cook was absolutely perfect, medium rare. The seasoning was just off.
I also got the risotto and short ribs. The short rib was well seasoned, though so much gravy from the short rib almost covered the entire plate of mushroom risotto. Tasty but just a little disproportionate in presentation.
The baked potato is by far one of the best values on the menu as a side item. The creamed spinach was a little more cream-cheese-forward, and it seemed like the spinach needed a little something else it was bland.
The desserts were another story: the toffee cake I thought would look like something I would get at Hell’s Kitchen looked more like a very crumbly cornbread with ice cream on top. The vanilla ice cream tasted great, but the cake was just OK. The crème brûlée was on another level. It was fantastic, creamy, full of vanilla, and had a great crunch from the Brulé sugar on top.
What really made this meal so good was the service. I talked with my server about my dissatisfaction with the two lobster tails they were served cold and rubbery. The server immediately jumped into action, spoke with the manager, and had the lobster removed from the bill. Thank you so much. But what really impressed me was the time that both the manager and my server spent at the table. Veronica was truly a pleasure to meet.
As a military officer who has commanded hundreds and been responsible for thousands, she really hit it out of the park with her ability to problem-solve and immediately address issues as they arose.
She was very engaging and really a pleasure to be with. This dynamic duo, who’ve only worked at this location for less than 5 months combined, really made me say I will come back to the restaurant, assuming they may have had an off night with seasoning and timing in the kitchen.
If there’s anything to take away, the food is OK (3 stars), the service from this dynamic duo was fantastic, and that’s why they got the four stars.
Our server, Shaudine, seemed disengaged throughout the meal. She didn’t smile or make conversation until the very end, when she said, “I’m sorry your food was not good, but it looked like you had fun with your husband.” While the sentiment was appreciated, it came far too late.
As for the food, the sides, mashed potatoes, and creamed spinach arrived cold. The lamb chops lacked flavor, and the Oysters Rockefeller were overly sweet due to the heavy breading. With such a limited menu, we expected the dishes to be of higher quality. On a positive note, my husband enjoyed his steak, risotto, and Brussels sprouts, all of which were served hot and prepared well. The chef did come to our table to apologize and kindly offered to make another dish, but by that time, we were ready to leave.
Overall, despite the pleasant gesture from the chef, the overall dining experience fell far short of expectations. Between the slow service, lack of basic ingredients, and disappointing food, we would not recommend 1609 Prime Cuts + Cocktails and do not plan to return.
