"Picky eaters, rejoice: Cleveland Park is home to a location of Medium Rare, a steak frites restaurant with a three-course, prix-fixe menu. (Vegetarians have the option of grilled portobello, also served with fries.) Distance from zoo: 0.5 miles." - Tierney Plumb
"Medium Rare’s straightforward menu is perfect for budget-conscious diners. There are now four area locations (Cleveland Park, Bethesda, Arlington, Baltimore), along with a few around the country. For $29.95, guests get a prix-fixe menu of rustic bread, mixed greens salad, and a top sirloin steak served with hand-cut fries. The steak is bathed in Medium Rare’s super-secret sauce (the recipe is in a bank vault). The restaurant was a superstar during the pandemic, delivering free meals to individuals in need. Reservations, carryout, and delivery info here." - Tierney Plumb
"The D.C.-based steak-frites chain offering a value-driven prix fixe: a steak (or a portobello-mushroom entree), fries, a mixed greens salad, bread, and the restaurant’s special sauce for $31, with a second entree included in that price." - Brittany Britto Garley
"I think the newly arrived D.C. import from Mark Bucher is well worth it: a $35 steak frites comes with standout secret sauce plus bread and salad, making it a great value." - Melissa McCart
"When the entire menu consists of steak and fries, the fries better be good. Luckily, Medium Rare delivers with their crispy, skinny version." - Claudia Rosenbaum
