“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“

“A cute and cozy bistro with delicious food and fabulous service!“

“My husband and I really enjoyed our meal at Bistro Du Jour. Our server, Chris, was very attentive and personable. He took great care of us. The assistant manager, Destynee, also came by our table to say hello and to make sure we were having a good experience. The ambiance is also very nice. We highly recommend Bistro Du Jour.“

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

“We enjoyed the service and location. We loved the Croque Madame as a crepe. The French toast is not toasted as it is on soft thick brioche. I prefer my French toast toasted so consider this when ordering. The coffee- straight and as latte- were good.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“just superb. The service was amazing- friendly, attentive, and great recommendations. The restaurant accommodated food allergies with no issues whatsoever. The meal was great- everything we ordered delicious. We'll be back! Also- I highly recommend the hamachi ceviche, it's insanely good.“

“Stopped by after seeing high reviews. The atmosphere of the place is really nice. There’s quiet spaces to study. There’s cute little gifts you can purchase. However, the pistachio chocolate croissant I tried wasn’t good. I don’t like the taste of pistachio paste. Also it wasn’t fresh.“

“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!! 🎉🥗🍻❤️🍻🥗🎉“

“Beautiful place, excellent food!“

“One of my favorite locations in DC, great wine selection, the food is pretty good overall (desserts could be improved though), the staff is friendly and efficient.

If you're french and feeling homesick, it is a great place.“

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

“Love the NY Minetta and was so excited to try the DC location. It absolutely lived up to the hype. Enjoyed cocktails with my daughter, and the space captures the same charm and energy as the original. The food was outstanding, the staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable, and the restaurant was impressively busy for a Tuesday night. Don’t miss Lucy Mercer upstairs—it’s a fantastic addition to the experience.“

“Great service and amazing food“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Great restaurant and service.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Everything we got at the Garden Cafe inside the National Gallery of Art was so good!! The flatbread pizzas were probably our favorites, but the tacos were also delicious and hearty. The pizzas came served as two half pizzas and a side of leafy greens, and I think it'd be easy to split it between two adults and still feel full. The tacos was a set of 3 and depending how hungry you were, I definitely think that was easy to split too and feel satisfied. The liberty lemonade in souvenir cups was so cute. The lemonade itself was pretty normal and good, and on top was a skewer with strawberry, blueberry, and marshmallows. The cups themselves were like silver aluminum versions of a red party cup basically and had an America 250 logo and the museum logo on them. The cookies were also delicious and so was the coffee! And can't beat the ambiance with fountains and art. Felt like a fancy dream.“

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