La Bise

From the entrance and a drink at the bar to the dining room......a wonderful experience. I arrived early and they gave me a choice to have a drink or be seated. Food and drinks impeccable! The sommelier, bartender and wait staff made me feel welcome. The manager was warm and friendly. I will definitely be back.

The service, wine and dining room are all excellent. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and helpful in picking a non-dosage Champagne that matched my wife's scallops and my steak tartare very nicely. The Rhone glass was delightful. The scallops were also excellent. However, two of the dishes were simply not very good. The pastry for the gougeres was dense. The cassoulet was a thinly sliced skin on duck breast in a both with undercooked beans. The idea was good, but the execution not. The skin was completely unappetizing after sitting in the broth, and the beans were hard and underseasoned.

We went there for my husband's birthday. We were seated in a quiet corner as I had requested and I really appreciated that. The service is great. My husband had the duck appetizer which was small and a little pasty. He also had the cassoulet which was very good. I had the halibut en papillote. The fish itself was delicious, tender and moist but I really would have liked to have a little bit more artichokes and fennel to eat with it. The veggies portion was just too small and by the time I them, I still had half of my fish to eat alone...... The dining room is very well decorated and feels cosy and warm. Very nice ambiance.

Delightful and refined as always. Non alcoholic brut quite good.

The server didn't warn me of the fiery entree I ordered. If I had known, I would not have gotten it. I ordered the bread appetizer which was way too large for one person, especially when another bread basket was brought to the table. Again, the sever could have helped me order. The wine service was excellent.

We had a great evening - nice atmosphere, absolutely friendly staff and very delicious food!

Lovely restaurant and welcoming staff. Food was delicious with outstanding flavors. Service could not have been better, and the chocolate dessert was terrific.

We had a wonderful experience for a celebration with friends. The staff (we interacted with several) were all exceptional. The food and wine was also great. We wish that we lived closer to visit again!

We enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant, and the staff was good and attentive. Loved the menu as well, with prices that are not outrageous, unlike many other upscale DC restaurants. Unfortunately, the cocktails we ordered were really not good, and the food was a mixed bag. There's no excuse for serving steak au poivre that has hardly any sauce, is cooked rare in spite of the requested medium (especially since it is served sliced; to the bare eye you can see that it is undercooked), is full of gristle and is actually a piece of a roast instead of a steak. The corn soup was very flavorful, but arrived lukewarm. Overall a disappointing experience, and we were so much looking forward to it.

Superb in every way. Entrees (lamb and halibut) showed excellent combination of ingredients to create wonderful flavor on a beautiful plate. Great wine pairings at sommelier's suggestion. A perfect place to celebrate a special occasion, or to just enjoy an exceptional meal.

Excellence from beginning to end. The ambiance is warm and inviting, the staff is helpful, friendly, and efficient, and the food is wonderful. Truly a world class restaurant, only better.

This was an awesome experience. Everything was great
Food, drinks, service. It was all spectacular. I've never experienced such impact on my dining enjoyment like I had with the suggestions of this somalier. His pairings changed the dish for the better in a big way. Shout it to Tony also. Everyone was awesome.
