“We value the seamless service and understated elegance. A trusted venue for business and celebration alike.“

“This place is a lovely Alsatian French restaurant in some beautiful area that is gorgeous to drive to and eat in… it is like a pilgrimage.

The amuse bouche was a lentil mushroom soup which was enjoyable.

The wagyu beef cheeks are a reason to live.

The garlic bread is a reason to live

The lobster bisque is like homestyle as was the bouillabaisse. The tarte au chocolate was excellent but not my favorite.

Excellent for a day trip and a date you want to impress and a good value for the pre-fixe.

I will try to be better w pics!x“

“The high tea on Saturday was fabulous. The staff was top notch and the food and beverages delicious.“

“Superlative tasting menu, top notch wine parings, outstanding service, from a staff that outnumbers the clientele, what’s not to like? Yes it’s small, so leave the soccer team meetup for the pizza place. For Lutece, bring your favorite couple or 1 or 2 very special friends“

“Love the foods and place . All employee are very good .“

“A friend treated me to birthday dinner at Rosemary’s. Neither of us had been before and we were so happy to discover it. Start to finish every morsel was fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. We will be back!“

“Great Happy Hour specials on Oysters and the Steak Tartare is Amazing!“

“I had a strange experience a couple of weeks ago. My partner and I have dined at this establishment several times and most recent was last year. I always enjoyed the service and experience. A friend was in town and we went to Georgetown on the fly. It was a Thursday evening and I noted that there were available dining tables through the app. However, the doors were closed and locked, so we then accessed what appeared to be a bar area adjacent to the restaurant --as I wondered if the entrance had changed. A gentleman with an apron on mumbled something about the restaurant and then asked if we wanted to be seated at the bar. We declined and moved on. I did not see any notification on your website that there was an event or closure, and assume you operate on Thursdays after 5:30PM. So I am unclear if you're even still operating.“

“If you're intimidated by French cuisine, Bastille is a great place to try locally sourced, healthy variations on classic French dishes. The kitchen is ready and willing to accommodate any food restrictions. The staff are friendly and happy to advise on choices. The Prix Fixe menu is a great deal, but I have to remember to save room for the delicious desserts.“

“Wonderful date night. Fantastic, attentive service and absolutely perfect food. Highly recommended.“

“Great brunch, cozy atmosphere and very friendly staff!“

“Today was my 1st time eating here and I came with my father for Fathers Day. My father had eaten here several times and wanted me to try it. I liked Le Chat Noir and would come back again. Reasonably priced for higher quality French food.“

“Make a reservation! This was the best "meal" of our entire 11 year marriage! Made for a wonderful anniversary setting; service was exceptional. Cheers to the entire staff!“

“We dined there this evening and we’re very impressed. My husband is a Steak tartare lover and he said it was the best in the DC area. The trout almandine was ver good we highly recommend Josephine’s.“

“We had beef burgundy, beef cigars and rack of lamb. The food is amazingly good. Authentic and well prepared. I consider the best in this area. Their service is also excellent. This is our 5th time and we will come back soon.“

“We had a great time at this restaurant! My family and I came here while staying at the Hilton and my dad has a gluten allergy and dislikes garlic and onion. The chef Armando came to our table, listened to my dad’s concerns and made him a custom meal with plain lemon caper chicken, gluten free fries and a salad. He loved it and ate it all! We all loved our dishes as well and the service was amazing. Our server Manuel was super nice and I would recommend!“

“We had an outstanding experience at Julii. We were taken care of by both Louie and Maggie, and their customer service was exceptional from start to finish. I brought my aunties who were visiting from out of town, and the warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality they showed made our visit truly special.

The kitchen made a mistake with our order, but Louie and Maggie handled it immediately with such grace and professionalism that we never felt uncomfortable or inconvenienced. Their teamwork and ability to resolve the issue so smoothly is exactly why I continue to return to Julii.

A huge thank-you to Louie for his leadership and attentive service, and to Maggie for her kindness and care. They both made our visit memorable, and I highly recommend Julii for consistently delivering amazing service.“

“Best mushroom soup ever with all the good wines!“

“Friendly, accommodating and great options for food and wine. Also a great spot for happy hour!“

“Great service and amazing food“

“Cozy place and friendly service. My order of Beef Bourguignon was wonderful but my wife confused the Navarin of Lamb to braised lamb we're used from Turkish and Lebanese Restaurants but this is seared Lamb. The Waiter was nice enough to let us switch the order.“

“Cafe Colline is spectacular. I had a toddler with me, was dressed in an adidas track suit, and wanted real food as we waited for someone working in the area. Most of the customers were much better dressed and without a child. Nothing wrong with this, just painting the picture. The staff could not have been nicer and more professional. We were greeted with open arms, sat immediately, and served with absolute professionalism. My food (the fish) was so good I considered licking the plate. They don’t necessarily have a kid’s menu but offered numerous things to make a toddler. I went with the burger and fries. They complimented this with numerous dipping sauces and made the burger to order. The charge was minimal and fair. I always clean up after him as toddlers can be messy and they insisted on letting them clean up (I did it anyway). Restrooms were spotless and the kitchen area you pass was very clean and well organized. It’s a small spot full of big talent. This will be a regular for us. A must dine.“

“Great space, loved the food.“

“I had the privilege of experiencing the Chefs Tasting at 2941 Restaurant last night. The five-course tasting journey, paired with exquisite food and wine, along with beautiful surroundings and a vibrant atmosphere, turned the evening into a memorable adventure and culinary delight. If you seek to awaken your taste buds and embark on a magical journey, this extraordinary destination in the DMA area and North America awaits you.“

“One of the best experiences of my life! The customer service deserves a full 5 stars, and the chef even stopped by to say hello at my table. The food was outstanding—the portions were generous, and it truly felt like I was dining in Europe. Thank you for such wonderful service!“

“Washington rang me up and was so kind and you can tell he loves taking care of guests at Maman. The vanilla cloud cookie was so yummy along with Oprah’s fave - kitchen sink cookie. Such a treat if you’re looking for a mid-day lunch, coffee or a snack. They also have craft cocktails and a happy hour. Definitely check them out!“

“Trope fantastique. Always prepared perfectly“

“Fantastic food, attentive service, and ambient setting. Such a fantastic spot“

“The vegetables on the vegetarian platter were delicious-- crisp and fresh and beautifully seasoned. The mozzarella and tomato came with perfect pieces of crostini. The sangria was wonderful.“

“Last week we enjoyed dinner with Edgar Allen Poe. Okay, so maybe not the man himself- but about as close as I could imagine the experience to be. Dark, decadent, and full of surprise. We got to try their seasonal Poe themed menu, and it’s not just dinner- it nears theatre on a plate.“

“Besides delicious pastries, the best part of Boulangerie Christophe is the staff! Super friendly and kind to everyone who walks through the door. The gourmet sandwiches are a huge hit for my 15-year-old son too.“

“DELICIOUS lunch at Et Voila DC!! The salads were amazing and the beer was cold and wonderful! It was my first time at the restaurant & I will definitely return. Highly Recommend!! 🎉🥗🍻❤️🍻🥗🎉“

“The food was fresh and delicious! The service was excellent and the owner came around to talk to us! He was so sweet!! He made us feel like family! I will definitely recommend this lovely establishment to my family and friends! I should have taken more photos, but I forgot- it was as sooo goo!!“

“I can't believe that I have lived here for nearly 20 years, walked past this place many times, and just discovered it several weeks ago. WOW! The pastries and, cakes, muffins and croissants are excellent. Their homemade jams are wonderful. Their breads, quite yummy! I love their iced coffee , which has s a very subtle taste of cocoa. And, I am a very picky coffee snob. Service is sometimes a little chaotic, but the staff is super friendly. Weekend mornings are insanely busy- a reflection of how good they are. Amazing, spacious outdoor seating! LOVE this place.“

“amazing food best breakfast I've had in a long time fresh baked croissants are killer!“

“Love the foods and place . All employee are very good .“

“Really love their pastry and croissant. Cappuccinos are wonderfully made each morning. Frassier white chocolate cake is my favorite. Also tried the new grilled cheese for brunch - excellent.“

“I had the most wonderful dining experience at La Fromagerie! Everything was delicious and the service was great! I began with champagne and foie gras. Next, I had the bouillabaisse; then, cheese course (a double or triple cream). I finished the meal with a chocolate pot de crème. I can’t wait until my next visit!“
