We love eating out. Yesterday we arrived in this excellent restaurant which friends recommended to us. We had a beautiful time there with first-rate cooking and an experienced team and a professional chief cook. We put this venue in our phone list and we shall definitely go again very soon. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed our cappuccino and pain au raisin today. The pastry was perfect, soft, a little sticky, and flavorful. Just what we needed to energize. The security staff was very friendly and quickly screened us for entry.

Absolutely worth the trip. Contemporary French lunch with fantastic entrees and excellent pastry. Affordable and quick. Getting a dining card was a breeze, highly recommended.

We only partook of the café, not the restaurant, and had café, croissant and pain au raisin. But it was perfect. Delicious Julius Meinl coffee and fresh pastries, right out of the oven. We will be back for a real meal in the fall. Lovely place.

Been a few times for lunch now, and I get back whenever I can. Excellent food -- the salads and soups are always strong -- and an expanding wine list. Terrific service from Max and his team.

Best french food in DC, it is absolutly amazing :) Service is perfect, very wide menu of wine, very good recomandations for food. For me, the best secret place in Washington if you want to have a business lunch or a romantic tête í tête :) I love the pastries of Chef Mark !

Wrong closing times listed on website. Also, it's not stated clearly that you need a membership for all of their restaurants/cafes. Wasted time going here. While this unprofessional attitude may be tolerated in France, it surely won't work here.

I ate at the cafeteria and will next time try the restaurant. I was beyond impressed with the quality of the food and it was extremely satisfying at a great value. I tried the duck confit with two wonderful sides and fresh bread. I was so full that I couldn't even begin the dessert and was able to take in a box. Friendly service. Nice soup, salad and sandwich options but I tried the hot meal this time.
