The restaurant is beautiful and the seating comfortable. Even though it is a small space, it didn't feel crowded. My son ordered a croque monsieur and when he reached the middle of the sandwich, the ham was ice cold so he alerted the server and they prepared a second sandwich, only to have the same issue. They were gracious and removed it from our bill. The French onion soup was just okay, and wildly overpriced at $16 for a small ramekin of soup. Apart from the ambience, nothing about this restaurant was spectacular and it's certainly expensive considering the portions and preparation of the food.

Deserves its acclaim. Quintessential French bistro fare, prepared exquisitely.

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants. But I think the quality started going down even before COVID. They really need to work on their deserts. But the real problem is the service. Really a snotty attitude. And they started adding a twenty percent service charge. And they don't want you to consider the service charge when you calculate your tip. They're really trying to get 40 percent over the menu prices. It's a shame because it's still one of prettiest restaurants in DC. It would be in place in Paris. But not the service.

The best French fare in the DC metro area. It's bistro-style food and not over-the-top fancy fare, but the dishes are prepared as if they were being served to gourmands. The cocktails are not to be missed.

The small, unassuming and quaint façade of this French restaurant in Georgetown is a great spot to stop for lunch and dinner. The French dishes, with an American "je-ne-se-qua" makes them both great to the palate and fulfilling. Enjoy la carte, but I would recommend their hearty French onion soup and their Foi gras accompanied by baguette bread.

They add in 20% gratuity. Very disappointing. I am happy to provide a 20% gratuity, but it should be a decision that I make based on the level of service.

The interior is very cute and the staffs were very attentive. Me and my friend had a dinner here. We ordered Soupe A L'oignon, La Cachat, Confit Canard, and Moules Frites. All the dishes were so delicious. However, I think La Cachat is a little overpriced. But still, the taste was amazing.I highly recommend Soupe A L'oignon and Moules Frites.

The food was beyond delicious. Atmosphere was amazing. We ate here 2 nights in a row because it was so good.
Been dying to try this spot and we LOVED it! Such a cute ambiance with lovely decor and sky lighting, perfect place to take parents and family. The service was amazing, they were so attentive and friendly. I would say this is one of the best burgers I've had in DC.. need to come back for dinner! Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted like high quality ingredients. Couldn't recommend this spot enough, grab a reservation 2 weeks out!

Great little place with a wonderful atmosphere and very attentive service staff. Great wine selections as well. Very reasonably priced for such great food quality- too many great dishes on the menu makes it a hard choice for what to get.

best french spot in DC! Butternut squash soup, french onion soup, scallops, salmon and bucatini were all incredible. 10/10 place to go for a special dinner!

Great menu, service, and ambience. The restaurant feels cozy without being too small inside. Will definitely go back.

One of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. We sat at the bar in the wine bar as there were no tables available at the main restaurant- but same menu and everything we had was absolutely fabulous. Plenty of vegetarian options between the starters and the bucatini main dish- everything was outrageously delicious, coupled with a unique and fun atmosphere with good service and good drinks. Well worth a few more dollars for an exceptional meal.Vegetarian options: Several salads (including beet and lentilSalad), soup, cheese, and amazing bucatini pasta main dish.
