Best U.S. Steakhouses Connecticut: Washington Prime
We are super excited to learn the news that we have been selected by the Food Network to represent Connecticut as their Steakhouse choice for their "50 States of Steakhouse." It is truly a blessing and honor to be amongst the best steakhouses in the US!
The Restaurant
Washington Prime has the privilege of framing SoNo's corner of Washington Street and Water Street. Adding to this historic waterside community, Washington Prime is driven by a culinary and beverage program that is not about gimmicks - just honesty, creativity and bold flavors. No stranger to high impact restaurants, Washington Prime is brought to you by some of the area’s most dynamic restaurateurs. The land and sea menu is a bit of Americana with cross-cultural influences, including salads, small plates, prime steaks, seafood, house made pasta and more. The space is multi-dimensional and the attitude is left at the door. Here, we eat, we drink and we join in the fun.
