Bistro Cacao Reviews
Manager (older French man) shushed us multiple times after a server dropped a mimosa glass on my friend that shattered on/ drenched her. By dessert I began feeling ill and had food poisoning for 36 hours. Our waitress was nice. Do not recommend.
Bistro Cacao was an outstanding choice to cater lunch for a very important business meeting. The food was AMAZING, from appetizers, salad, main course and dessert! Highly recommend them for your next event, meeting or just a fine place to dine!! Great Service, Great Food, Great Presentation!
I highly recommend the chef's tasting menu with the wine pairings.

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.
