I've been here before and it was wonderful but this time wasn't great. Server was nice and friendly but we had to look for her a few times when we needed silverware. Also my friend and I got the Loup de Mer and there were so many bones left in the fish, which made it really unpleasant. Food and drink quality and taste otherwise was great

Had a wonderful long lunch at Brasserie Liberte. They have a nice range of choices, and a good wine selection. Our server Eric was charming and accommodating as we wanted to catch up and take our time. Always find this to be a great place to meet up with friends.

Over the years we've always enjoyed a lovely meal at Brasserie Liberte. If we recall correctly, in the past the restaurant added a 20% service charge to the bill for the servers. This past weekend we dined at Brasserie twice. The first night for an early dinner, we did not leave a tip, thinking that it was included in the bill. The next morning we were there again for brunch and one in our party read the fine print on the menu which stated that the additional 20% was NOT a tip for the server and was an additional charge for the restaurant. Realizing our mistake for the night before, we went to the two hostesses and left a $20 for them to give to the server the day before. We believe her name was Anjin or Angie. Perhaps the restaurant could include their extra 20% in the prices of menu items to avoid confusion. Thank you!

Not great. It took 30 minutes to get our server to our table, only after we went and asked. Server came, no acknowledgement or apology. Ordered wine/food. Wine took 20 minutes to arrive. Food came out, they forgot one entree. The missing entree came out 20 minutes after the others, clearly they forgot to put the order in. Still, no acknowledgement or apology. No offer of taking or discounting anything on the bill, not even the wine that took 45 minutes to arrive or the missing entree. One of the worst service experiences I have had.

Came for my birthday because it is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Previously, never had issues. However, for this reservation, the restaurant was busy and the quality drastically dropped.

Phenomenal food and drinks. We have the escargot, beef bourginon, and the steak and pork au poivres. Just phenomenal.

Fantastic service and food. Quick to provide cocktail. Recommend the country pate. Filet Mignon cooked perfectly. Best mashed potatoes ever. Only complaint is that is a bit noisy. Every table was filled. Will be back. I was fine with the automatic 20% service charge which replaced my normal tip.

Typically this is one my favorite spots. Not great service or food quality this time around; which was a bummer since it we were celebrating my bday. I"d definitely still come back, this felt like a one off. Consistently food, service and ambience are on point. My soup de mer was still delicious even though the salad, side and my husband's steak frites were subpar.

Great menu, something for everyone. Attentive service, upscale casual and chic. Food was very good with traditional French dishes. Super heavy on the cheese - but that's to be expected not the best meal I've ever had but a lovely Sat lunch and no complaints from our big group. .
Service was the worst we've ever had at a restaurant. Negelected for at least 15 min after we sat down, had to ask several times for someone to bring us water, ask for drink order. when we finally had someone we told her we wanted to order everything at the same time because we were concerned about how long it make take... it took forever to get our two cocktails, one of which they spilled/dropped right at the table. Someone came and cleaned it up, but it didn't get replaced with another drink for at least another 15 minutes. No one ever came to refill our wine glasses (we just did it ourselves). Starters came at different times. The one salad came last...only few minutes before entrees. In order to put my entree down, i had to pick up my barely eaten salad and continue to hold in the air...server did not seem to see it until i loudly asked her to take it. The food was actually good but service was horrible...server seemed to be half asleep, not attentive at all, not friendly or helpful, will not return!!

Service was erratic. Primary waiter was inattentive and slovenly; shirt splattered with food stains and unbuttoned. The 20% service charge (while fairly clearly shown on the menu) is a very poor gimmick for underpricing the cost of already inflated menu prices. Even though the food was quite good, I have NO intention of returning.

It was Easter Sunday. All restaurants have to brace themselves for a crush of guests on major holidays. Service was a bit slow, but as long as people understood this going into it, it was fine. In my own case, it was fine because it allowed for plenty of good conversation With my guest. The food itself was up to standards. We also were able to dine on the side terrace, which is quite nice, because it was Avery pleasant mild day outside.

A perfect bistro for classic French dishes without having to cross the Atlantic. Our Easter Brunch was relaxing and delicious. Seated in the Fabrege Egg booth was a bonus. Looking forward to our next meal here.

The 20% “service charge” that doesn't go to the server ruined our experience. It's on the menu...we get it...it was disclosed. But we genuinely thought it was just baked in because this restaurant is close to a college campus and maybe they want to make sure the waitstaff doesn't get stiffed? Nope. Our server assured us the 20% goes “to the house” and that their only tip is 2% of the bill from that amount. So of course we felt compelled to tip them! I served when I was younger too! Now I'm tipping 40% of the bill plus tax? That just made this one of the most expensive meals I've had in DC. It was so uncomfortable at the end of our meal as our group argued over how to handle this. It ruined the experience.
