Food, cocktails, and wine…10/10. Their take on a 75 was by far the most complex and delightful version I’ve had. Fresh, perfect portion size, and varied options. Appreciate their dedication to sustainability. Service was extremely rushed; not just us but several tables outside. Would rather not have dinner there at all than be rushed and feel unwelcomed….at least give a heads up when you are seating us.

We recently visited this charming French restaurant in Georgetown for brunch to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and it was a lovely experience overall.
The food was wonderful — beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Portion sizes varied: some dishes were on the smaller side, while others were surprisingly generous. It actually made the meal more interesting, as every plate felt a little different.
The atmosphere is warm and pleasant, perfect for a relaxed brunch or an intimate celebration. Do keep in mind that the restaurant itself is quite small, which adds to its cozy charm but may not be ideal if you’re looking for a large, spacious setting.
The service was very friendly and attentive — we felt well taken care of throughout our visit.
Definitely a place worth returning to, and we’ll be happy to come back again.

Phenomenal. Best meal ever. I've been to Michelin starred restaurants in London and Paris and they truly pale in comparison.

We opted for the chef’s choice menu. Our waiter knocked over a glass of red wine, spilling it onto my clothing. Although accidents can happen, the response was disappointing. The wine charge was not waived, nor was any gesture offered to acknowledge the inconvenience, and they act as nothing had happened. I ultimately had to take my clothing to the dry cleaner myself.

Finally snagged a table at this in-demand but tiny gem. Service is warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive. From the start, they asked about dietary preferences and made a real effort to accommodate them.
The menu is as compact as the restaurant itself, but every dish we ordered was exceptional. Delectable across the board. This week featured steak tartare, duck sausage and rockfish with miso soubise. We wanted to lick the plates. We showed restraint. Mostly.
Small space, small menu, big payoff.

Came here for my birthday and had an incredible experience. The food was amazing, the staff super friendly and knowledgeable, and the wine was excellent. This is a perfect mix of cozy yet upscale , wonderful date night or celebration spot!
Fantastic experience: food, wine paring at the chef’s table and extraordinary service. It should be noted that $125/person mentioned is a deposit. Our chef’s table experience with the wine pairing came in at around $270/person with service added. Worth it in our view!

we had the most wonderful, special, and delicious meal at lutèce! everything was delicious (the cabbage is a highlight), and service was tremendous - even going out of their way to alter a dessert to our preference. a superb experience!

Sat at bar--great meal, great evening. Everything a cut above but the beets were a total stand out because never had a similar dish.
