I haven't had a world-class, "I'm thinking about you the day after" kinda dinner in so long! My goodness.
The Beaumont, from the exterior, is unassuming. No frills. But, inside -- while small-- is quaint and exudes a simplistic, elegant decor with exposed cobblestone walls.
Appetizers: We tried the deviled eggs and fried lobster tails. The deviled eggs were good, not bad. They were topped with jumbo lump crab meat and wasabi tobiko. The lobster tails though?! Perfectly cooked. So succulent and juicy -- absolutely nothing needs to be improved!
Entrees: I had the jumbo lump crab cakes with roasted yukon gold potatoes and asparagus, while my dining companion had the 22 oz bone-in ribeye, served with potatoes and string beans.
The lump crab cakes served up to the name -- L U M P and 5 oz each -- no filler! That's how you do it! The asparagus had a citrus butter flavor, and the potatoes were seasoned well too. This dish was $24.
Now, bring in the ribeye. My mouth is actually salivating while typing this. It was so, so juicy. It came out hot with the right amount of char and flavor. Chef's kiss. This dish will run you $76.
I mention the prices because Joe's in DC has always been my favorite for a good ribeye. The Beaumont has them defeated. TKO. RIP, Joe's. With the latter, you also pay for your sides a la carte. Now, I understand the difference in location which can impact pricing, but with that aside, The Beaumont still wins for me. The quality is there and so is the price point.
Lastly, but certainly not least, Marcel. He was our table-side host. Marcel knows the restaurant (as he should), and recommended so many great dishes. He was personable, attentive and even entertained my Steph Curry comparisons. Top-notch customer service.
Listen, people, if you stayed around to read this long review, then just make sure you visit! Cheers!
