The Lafayette offers an excellent dining experience with delicious food, wonderful service, and a pleasant atmosphere. The restaurant is located in a beautiful area on 16th Street, directly in front of the White House, making it a great place to visit whether for breakfast, dinner, or a special occasion. With attentive servers and a chef who pays attention to detail, the Lafayette is a must-stop whenever in DC. Guests appreciate the clean, opulent dining room with white tablecloths and lovely lobby seating while waiting for their party to arrive.
The service stands out as super attentive and incredibly kind, ensuring a 10/10 experience for diners. While some find the prices on the higher side, the menu features tasty options like health smoothies, omelettes with grilled avocado, excellent root vegetables, and special dishes like rockfish and scallops. Desserts, such as the unique fleur citrus meringue, also leave a lasting impression. Overall, the Lafayette provides a wonderful setting for any meal, with a team led by José and Efrain committed to making every visit memorable.
