“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!“

“Bistro Du Jour is a great spot for a relaxed meal with a touch of class. The food is fresh and flavorful, the coffee and pastries are excellent, and the vibe feels cozy but still lively. The staff are friendly and attentive, and everything comes out beautifully presented. Definitely a place I’d come back to for brunch or a nice casual dinner.“

“Great food in a great location in Georgetown. Parking right down the street.“

“Superlative tasting menu, top notch wine parings, outstanding service, from a staff that outnumbers the clientele, what’s not to like? Yes it’s small, so leave the soccer team meetup for the pizza place. For Lutece, bring your favorite couple or 1 or 2 very special friends“

“Can’t wait to come back to Washington, DC just to have dinner at this restaurant again. They have the best escargot, tuna ceviche, and French wine. The customer service is outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely exceptional. A beautiful riverfront setting, top-tier quality, and incredible service all come together in one perfect spot.“

“Love the foods and place . All employee are very good .“

“A friend treated me to birthday dinner at Rosemary’s. Neither of us had been before and we were so happy to discover it. Start to finish every morsel was fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. We will be back!“

“Nice dinner to finish the evening in DC, best Filet Au Poivre I think I’ve ever had…even my own! Literally just told the Lady I may cry if I have to finish this.server’s name was John, incredible experience! Thank you!“

“Had the cauliflower shared plate which was very good, and one of the daily specials which was a seared fish with lentils, celery root and fennel and it was outstanding. Service was lovely. We arrived a little early for our 6:15 reservation and she continued to point out the pre-6 pm happy hour options, pointing out that we had 7 minutes left to order them, but was not pressuring or rushing us. There was a very tall slender gentleman who checked in on us, we had a very brief interaction with- bravo to him for converting warmth with an exceptional smile.

I’d highly recommend and the food was really good.“

“I had a strange experience a couple of weeks ago. My partner and I have dined at this establishment several times and most recent was last year. I always enjoyed the service and experience. A friend was in town and we went to Georgetown on the fly. It was a Thursday evening and I noted that there were available dining tables through the app. However, the doors were closed and locked, so we then accessed what appeared to be a bar area adjacent to the restaurant --as I wondered if the entrance had changed. A gentleman with an apron on mumbled something about the restaurant and then asked if we wanted to be seated at the bar. We declined and moved on. I did not see any notification on your website that there was an event or closure, and assume you operate on Thursdays after 5:30PM. So I am unclear if you're even still operating.“

“The tagine was excellent. Central has a fantastic wine list, and it so pleasant to sit outside on Pennsylvania Avenue and people watch.“

“Great in every respect: quality and quantity of food, service, and ambience. A real treat!“

“Today was my 1st time eating here and I came with my father for Fathers Day. My father had eaten here several times and wanted me to try it. I liked Le Chat Noir and would come back again. Reasonably priced for higher quality French food.“

“The food, ambiance and service were spectacular. I can’t say enough good things about this place!!!“

“Best mushroom soup ever with all the good wines!“

“Great service and amazing food“

“Food was good. The coq au vin hit the mark. Service was great. Noise level high. The interior design is quite lovely and takes you to old bistrots of Paris. The bar upstairs is quite lovely too. But, I just suggest the background music doesn't match the either setting. Maybe more old jazz or French classics to wrap up the package with😉“

“Beautiful place, excellent food!“

“Good food, perfect portions, and good cocktails!“

“We had a great lunch! Highly recommended! 😋😋😋“

“Washington rang me up and was so kind and you can tell he loves taking care of guests at Maman. The vanilla cloud cookie was so yummy along with Oprah’s fave - kitchen sink cookie. Such a treat if you’re looking for a mid-day lunch, coffee or a snack. They also have craft cocktails and a happy hour. Definitely check them out!“

“Trope fantastique. Always prepared perfectly“

“Grace is one of the best hosts/guest service technicians I have ever had the experience of being served by. She was consistently attentive with the perfect balance of space for the guest and attentiveness. The food was cooked as desired, however the branzino was definitely the best entree on the table, alongside the duck confit and specialty steak. The chicken + liver charcuterie was to die for IMPO and I consider myself to be very bougie about my cheese. Delicious food, wonderful service. I was indecisive about wine choices and Grace was particularly helpful with that process. We loved the drinks and the whole experience.“

“I ordered 3 items, only the French Opera Cake tasted good. The cake had a rich chocolate flavor, not too sweet, and a firm texture. I personally recommend it.
The Tuna Steak Tartare tasted horrible, I like raw tuna and salmon. But under a few pieces of tuna was a pile of tasteless avocado, they were tasteless and inedible. The only flavor was probably a little bit lemon juice, and I wouldn’t have known how to eat it without the bread.
That cup of Americano was the worst coffee I had in maybe half year. It was just like water and had no aroma.“

“Besides delicious pastries, the best part of Boulangerie Christophe is the staff! Super friendly and kind to everyone who walks through the door. The gourmet sandwiches are a huge hit for my 15-year-old son too.“

“Last week we enjoyed dinner with Edgar Allen Poe. Okay, so maybe not the man himself- but about as close as I could imagine the experience to be. Dark, decadent, and full of surprise. We got to try their seasonal Poe themed menu, and it’s not just dinner- it nears theatre on a plate.“

“DELICIOUS lunch at Et Voila DC!! The salads were amazing and the beer was cold and wonderful! It was my first time at the restaurant & I will definitely return. Highly Recommend!! 🎉🥗🍻❤️🍻🥗🎉“

“Excellent lunch. French onion soup to die for.“

“amazing food best breakfast I've had in a long time fresh baked croissants are killer!“

“Wonderful menu and amazing staff. This restaurant has never disappointed. Love the foie gras and the salmon stuffed with lentils, and the frites.“

“Lovely ambiance! We sat at the bar and had the three course menu. I was gluten free and the staff was so great about accommodating me! The food was very tasty with great flavors and texture. I really enjoyed all the courses. The beef was so tender and flavorful. I thoroughly enjoyed the dessert as well. The only downside was that we had been walking all day through the city and my phone had died. I was hoping they might be able to let me charge my phone briefly so we could get home but they were unable to do allow that.“

“Really love their pastry and croissant. Cappuccinos are wonderfully made each morning. Frassier white chocolate cake is my favorite. Also tried the new grilled cheese for brunch - excellent.“

“Love the foods and place . All employee are very good .“

“Great restaurant and service.“

“a right Spot I thought it was closed but it isn't it Memorial Day so you guys got the best burgers and pizza I ever taste it I appreciate that food“

“Amazing place and staff is very helpful“

“Absolutely amazing food by a talented chef“

“Their sushi rolls are AMAZING!! I didn’t think they would be ‘out of this world’ but wow, the taste of their rolls tasted better than most of what I tried in Tokyo or Osaka! Definitely worth trying if you’re staying at the Grand Hyatt or in the area!“

“Great Brunch Spot!
Tried this place for brunch and was pleasantly surprised. The French toast was delicious—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and not overly sweet. The avocado toast with eggs was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5: a bit of a wait and limited seating. Still, definitely worth checking out!“
