Rosemary bistro cafe

We had a great experience. I ordered the specials—a salad with peach and smoked feta and the swordfish—and both were outstanding. The service was attentive but not obtrusive. This was our first visit and we are already planning our second.

We had a fabulous lunch during restaurant week. It was our waitress Sylvie's first day and she rallied! She deserves praise and more help on the lunch rush. The zucchini noodles with smoky tofu and cherry tomato sauce was so good and so was the garlic chicken on puréed white beans.

Lovely, quiet atmosphere. Wonderful chat with Fred, the chef/owner. Perfect send off to vacation lunch with friends.

Service was excellent and very polite. Good selection of wines. The onion tart to die for. The floating island also amazing. The mash potato was a little bit grainy. But overall great experience

Great seasonal dishes made with local produce. A nice combination of traditional French with no meat offerings.

Creative and delicious dishes beautifully presented. Excellent service. Inside is a bit stark and while it was quiet with only a few diners, it can get quite animated when full. Many thanks for a delightful lunch. Our friends plan to return the very next day for dinner.

Met to celebrate a new book. Lovely day, so opted for the tent. No crowded for lunch in August, so we had a relaxed, prolonged time. We both opted for the Rosemary's burger, which is a piece of filet mignon on a bun with the usual trimmings, plus a nice side salad. Still one of the better deals in Washington, given what most places charge or ground beef burgers with fries. Service was attentive and not at all rushed. Had time for a good conversation as well as the superb meal. Every time I dine here I ask myself why we do not get here more often--especially with Politics and Prose across the street.

The ever-evolving menu of delicious inventive cuisine keeps me coming back. The friendly attentive staff contributes mightily to every meal. I am a big fan of this place.

The food was excellent as was the overall experience. The waiter, who was quite personable, did not pay attention to details as there were two mistakes with our order drink and food order. Nevertheless, we will be back again.

Rosemary‘s never lets one down. Whether eating outside or inside, the service and the food are always superlative with imaginative touches. This neighborhood bistro is a gem!

Food was outstanding. I brought two friends who were new to Rosemary. They will certainly return based on the food.

The food and presentation here are exceptional, worth the price. Server was accommodating and knowledgeable. ambience is simple and welcoming.

Onion soup is always outstanding. This time I had a Basque calamari dish as a main course which was excellent. This restaurant has become our go-to place for an excellent meal.

for the money, the food could be better. the onion tart was slightly greasy and way too much cheese. Soup very good.

Great food as always! Gazpacho was delicious and refreshing, duck was beautifully crispy with savory and sweet accompaniments, and the petite filet was perfectly cooked. Warm onion tart is a delightful appetizer with surprising combinations. The menu has changed from a month or two ago, but I can always count on a delicious meal made with attention to detail, reasonably priced cocktails (for DC), and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely try this place if you haven't.
