Bistro Cacao offers an exceptional dining experience with friendly and attentive staff, a lovely decor and atmosphere, and good food. Located near Union Station in Washington DC, it is just a short walk from the train station and worth the 40-minute drive from Norfolk. The restaurant provides good value, especially for brunch. Recent guests enjoyed celebrating special occasions there, with dishes like scallop appetizer, filet mignon, venison dinner, hanger steak, and beef Wellington earning high praise. Desserts such as Creme Brulee and a trio of sorbets add a sweet ending. The smoked old fashioned is a popular drink, and the cheese course and salads are well-liked. The upstairs dining room has a romantic atmosphere with chandeliers, making it a perfect spot for a date. The restaurant is known for its ambiance and French-inspired cuisine, although some dishes like escargot and vichisoise are considered average. The Beef Wellington is above average, and the French soup is highly recommended. While the quality of French food could be improved, the overall experience, especially the atmosphere and service, makes Bistro Cacao a favorite for many visitors.
