This is the second time we have dined at the Royal Green. We went on a Sunday evening and took advantage of their prefix menu. It offered a nice variety of appetizers, main meal and deserts for a more than reasonable price. Ann Marie was our server both times and was very attentive and was able to accurately describe dishes when asked. The young bartender made a delicious Cosmopolitan!! Clam Chowder for an appetizer was one of the best I've ever had. Petite Filet Mignon was done to perfection. Desserts were a perfect size to complete the meal. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

This place is fantastic! The food and service is five stars. Easy parking and on a cute street full of young people. It feels vibrant and Washington Prime feels cozy compared to other steakhouses. Save room for dessert … not your typical dessert menu … I’ve tried them all and they don’t disappoint. It’s worth every penny.
