We really liked Jordan's. The service was excellent from start to finsih. The wine selection was very good and most importantly, the steaks were delicious. All in all, a perefect evening at Jordan's.

Pros: Food, Waitstaff

Upon recommendations from a friend, I went to Jordan's Steakhouse a couple weeks ago. I've been to many of the so-called great steakhouses in New York City and Jordan's measured up. The steaks were delicious and cooked perfectly. The side dishes were very tasty and the service was great. HIGHLY recommended!

Pros: Steaks, Service

My boyfriend ordered his $50 steak medium well. It came out medium rare. The waiter told him the steak would finishing cooking on the plate. Needless to say, it didn't. I ordered a caesar salad. It was the worst caesar salad I've ever had. I will not be going back to Jordan's and would never recommend it.

Great food and service--perfect for a date! We loved the filets! And the live jazz is really lovely, just loud enough to hear but not overpowering. The singer, Sara Jones, had a smooth, buttery voice and her guitarist was very talented.

Pros: Good service, food, and live music.

Cons: A little pricey

I have been to Jordan's on three seperate occasions. The first two times it was for appetizers and drinks and the people I was with made it fun. The third time was on my wife's birthday. We took my mother in law with us for dinner. We were seated upstairs which was sparsely populated. There was a pianist who was so loud that conversation was difficult. My wife inquired about the wine selection and the waitress was far from knowledgeable. She stopped and questioned another server who stood at our table and reprimanded her for not knowing about the wines and refused to tell her the name of a specific wine since she should have known it. He finally made a suggestion of a $14 glass of wine that my wife hated. When ordering dinner my mother in law stated that she wanted her steak "very, very, very, very well done. You would assume that it would come to the table practically cremated. A different server delivered the meals and her steak was medium rare. We did not see our server so we flagged someone else down and had them return it to the kitchen. We did not see it again until my wife and I had both completed our meals. After it was delivered our waitress made her first return appearence at our table since we had ordered. We told her what had happened and she acted like she did not care. I had made mention earlier about my wife's birthday but when we ordered dessert no mention was made of it. The food was ok but overpriced for what we received. The service was non existent and after inconveniencing us with the incorrect temperature on the steak no one ever came to our table to at least say that they were sorry. Jordan was in the restaurant and walked by our table several times. The final indignity was our inability to retrieve our coats from the check room. We had to ask several people before we could get the them. I emailed Jordan's the following day to relay my experience and never received any response. I would never return there again.

Pros: My dinner was hot

Cons: Service, parking, attention to detail

Jordan's has a charming attitude complete with 3 piece ensemble for your listening pleasure. Our party consisted of 4 adults out for dinner with reservations at 7:30 PM. The food was done well when it came warm and the service was OK. Our order consisted of 2 Fillets (one choice and 1 prime), 1 Short Ribs and 1 New Zealand rac of Lamb. Two sides, 1 asparagus and 1 brocolli were ordered for the table. The steaks arrived chilled as did the veggies and the steaks were returned. The short ribs were excellent as was the lamb, but the lamb's portion was not equal to the heafty price. The Bill was $300 with a bottle of wine. A nice evening but over priced and well over-rated.

Pros: Nice Ambience

Cons: Food temp, portions and price

There web-page says it all: "Experience a steakhouse that doesn't feel like… a steakhouse. No jackets required. Just dress-up your expectations for superb food, and fine wine in a romantic setting." Andy and I went here for our four year anniversary! Man on man was I impressed! First of all once were seated and opened our menu they pointed out something special- at the top of the first page of the menu is said "Happy Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Lemmo!" Friday, July 13, 2007 This place is top notch- right away they ask you which type of water your want- ice water, spring water or sparkling water! Then once the water come she explains all the specials and his favorite. He was very informative but not over the top annoying! We started with Grilled Caesar Salad: grilled hearts of romaine lettuce, drizzled with Jordan's Caesar dressing, julienne oven roasted tomatoes, pignoli nuts and Asiago Parmesan $8.00 They actually coat it with a bit of olive oil and grill it for about 10 seconds for this smoky flavor and grill marks! OUT OF THE WORLD!! We split it and it was still nice size and they served it on 2 plates for us! For dinner we had the one special that was 2 4 oz filet mignon tordaoes with JUMBO lump crab-meat, asparagus, and mashed potatoes topped with a burmese sauce. The serving was HUGE. This thing was melt in your mouth to die for! It was $45 and was less than expected. I wish I coul eat like this every night! For dessert we had the Creme Brulée. Larger than most you get. When they brought it out they put a candle in it and had this white chocolate sign that said Happy Anniversary. The Jazz Band started around 7 and was very good. The seating is a bit different. They use a lot of arm chairs and love seats. They tend to be a bit lower then the other chairs but work out. The decor is so romantic with great lamps and candlers. Plus its in historic area to check out all the sights outside!

Pros: food, decor, service

Cons: can be hard to find parking

The steak was very good. Cooked perfectly and I definitely recommend to order it "Jordan Style." The wine list was average. There are no real "economic" wines but a good selection of high end wines. The service was o.k (Sunday evening). The price was just a little too high for the overall experience. For the same price I would choose to dine at a different steak house. Very good food, just a bit expensive for what you get.

Pros: Steak, romantic, ambience

Cons: price value,

I experienced Jordan's Steakhouse for the first time on Valentine's Day weekend. I have to say, that I was blown away by both the food and the outstanding service. My date and I were promptly greeted by both the hostess and our server. We started our meal with the tuna tartar and the ceaser salad. Both were of exceptional quality. Also, the portions were surprisingly large for a fine dining establishment. For our entree we had the 18oz Cowboy steak and a 6oz filet and crab cake. My filet was so tender you could have cut it with a butter knife, and the flavor made me wish I had ordered the 12 oz instead. My crab cake was also one of the best that I've ever eaten! For desert we shared a chocolate martini that is to die for. This establishment makes every attempt to make sure your experience is one to be remembered. The head chef and the owner both made appearances at our table. The server presented us with a complimentary goodie bag for Valentines Day containing coffee, bottled water and a butcher's menu. This was a nice added touch. I have been to many steak houses in the metropolitan area and none have impressed me the way that Jordan's has. If your looking for an exceptional steakhouse look no further.

Pros: Food, Ambience, Service, Valet Parking

This restaurant is VERY over rated to say the least. Of course management and staff make all attempts to make you feel as though you are entering into an exceptional dining experience, but as you will see this is all pretentious to make up for the quality of the food. My wife and I dine out all over the metropolitan Baltimore and D.C. area and left this restaurant extremely disappointed. The calamari appetizer had NO flavor whatsoever and the marinara sauce nothing like one would experience in even an average restaurant in Little Italy! My wife had a New York strip which was acceptable, but still on the overly charred side. My 24oz porterhouse came out medium and dry ( I ordered it medium rare) and I couldn't even get the waitress to attend our table for another glass of wine for my wife to accompany her steak until 15 minutes later! We had to ask the waitress to remove our appetizer dishes she neglected because of her intereste in greeting newer tables than servicing her existing ones. The highlight of the night was the house Chardonnay which was wonderful. Needless to say, my wife and I were not able to dine together and this was our 10th anniversary dinner which management was already well aware of beforehand. Finally, being so disappointed at this dining experience, I decided to go downstairs and ask to speak with a manager myself. Little did I know that I was speaking to the actual owners wife who was very apologetic and did make all attempts to make us satisfied patrons. Bottom line . . . there are MANY truly "classy" restaurants with a beautiful ambience and GREAT FOOD to dine, but this is NOT one of them! We like the Bethesda area and find many of the fine dining establishments in this area worth the longer drive from Baltimore and much more reasonable in price offering exceptional value. My wife and I love relaxing and wonderful dining experiences but unfortunately . . folks this ain't one of em'. Heed this review . . . we rave when there is excellence!

Pros: Great House Chardonnay!

Cons: Too many to mention with all due respect!
