The cheese tart with sour cherry was otherworldly, my drink was excellent, and the vibe was perfection. Given the hype, I expected to hand out many more superlatives, but c'est la vie.

We had an excellent prix fixe meal. All courses were exquisitely prepared and presented and were reasonably priced. Staff were welcoming and thoughtful. Sometimes a bit noisy.
Natalie
Had the best omlette of my life here, and the pastries, drinks and coffee were great too! Excellent service and they even brought out my last pastry with a candle when the server overheard that this was a brunch from my birthday gift!
Dan
Hospitality, service and food were excellent. This was my second visit and everything was consistent. I highly recommend.
Clay
My second time here. They understand service here just as well at they do as their sister restaurant, The Dabney - but with one less Michelin star. I'm incredibly impressed by this beautiful French cafe from top to bottom.
Ryan
Every dish we had was recommended by our server and each was incredible! We had the best experience!
Jessica
Outstanding French bistro in Shaw. My family took me there for my birthday and from the moment we stepped through the doors, a top notch experience. Service was excellent, available when you needed them but not over zealous. Food was outstanding. It's replaced the other French restaurant in DC which is too crowded and too loud. A new favorite. We will be back.
Andrew
Exceptional food and great service. Sitting at the downstairs tables next to the open kitchen is a great experience.
Miguel
We had the hamburger, Caesar salad and onion soup. Food was ok but not great except for the salad's chicken which I believe was either undercooked or it was some sort of canned chicken. Not coming back.
Quinn
We had such a great brunch - the service was great and the food was amazing! Such a cute spot!
The hostess who sat us didn't have the right attitude. But the water lady Stephanie did. She thought creatively and sprung into action. We also had a new person as our server - I want to say Ty, but not sure her name. It was our first time visiting and she walked us through the menu, expectations, popular items, etc. She really went above. I would have marked 4 for service but Stephanie and Ty saved the day. We had the classic omelet, a little too soft, couldn't really eat it with a fork. The buckwheat crepe with ham was good. The beignets and jam were delicious and I should've ordered the mint cruller that really looks like a donut.
Daniela
Amazing brunch! The scrambled eggs were fantastic and the Garabaldi-ish is the best mocktail I've had hands down
Caleb
Food was top tier. We did small plate style and it was fantastic. The soft egg dish and the cool soup were delicious.
Lulu
All choices were seductive and we had a hard time choosing between starters crudo scallops andp Parisian gnocchi. The main dishes vegetarian risotto and flute in an amazing sauce with morels were fantastic. Profiterole with candied pistachio with vanilla ice cream and superb chocolate sauce accompanied by first rate decaf latte ended a special dinner. We can't wait to return for brunch or dinner!

The steak was perfect and the asparagus appetizer was amazing. Lovely service. My new favorite restaurant.
