We wanted a relaxing meal after seeing many Washington DC sights, Bistro Bis, a French restaurant, was the perfect setting. The atmosphere was chic & fresh, and the staff was very attentive. Yaneth and Mohammed were our servers, bringing us each a hand selected French wine along with a delicious sample of soup & baguette slices I ordered Mussels Marseillaise with a mouthwatering fennel & tomato broth, while my husband ordered the classic and highly recommended Beef Bourguignon in a rich wild mushroom red wine sauce. Both entrees were delectable. We ended our evening with a scrumptious tarte au citron. It’s lemon & blueberries-what’s not to like?If you are in the Capitol area, please stop at Bistro Bis, on E Street, you won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely amazing! Wonderful and attentive service, flavorful and delicious food. Great ambiance for a date night in the district.

The service at this restaurant has been impeccable- I stayed at the adjacent Kimpton and if you’re coming to DC and are in The Capitol Building neighborhood please be sure to stop in. Brandon, the manager is friendly and accommodating and will make sure you have everything you need. The food is very excellent , I’ve eaten the crab cakes, beef bourgeon and desert are amazing. Impeccable wine list as well.

Had the Branzino fish and it was a revelation. The fish had a crispy skin with a walnut crust that was absolutely delicious. The seafood bisque was very delicate yet very good. The ambience was low key and very modern chic. Loved it and great for dates.

Had an amazing time here! The food was delicious and definitely had great portions. I had the duck and friends had other entrees - everyone loved what they ordered. Beautiful atmosphere and decorum here. I will say, my visit was extra special as two young people decided to spend forever with each other. The man was definitely happy the woman said Yes and the restaurant shared in their happiness. Beautiful scene, encourage others to come by. Parking will be on the street - stop by a few minutes early just in case you have a small walk.

We went there during restaurant week for brunch. Everything was good, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was great. Our server was friendly and on time. I love it there and would go back for sure. The only reason I gave it 4 was because our server told us the champaign is $40 and he would give us some orange juice so we can make mimosa for ourself, however when the bill came, he charged us $56! When we asked why $56, he said $40 was the bottle the rest was the service for the Champagne and glasses and orange juice! I didn’t argue just because he was nice and the food was good otherwise I would have asked for manager.

We had the $25 prix fixe menu for restaurant week and it was amazing! The staff was very kind and the indoor decoration felt very luxurious. The service was quite prompt as well. We had made a reservation in advance so we didn't have to wait.

Delicious fresh french food. The place was almost full when we visited on Sat for brunch. Although it was because of the restaurant week fest. Servant was friendly and on-time.

The food is good but the staff are excellent. The manager came by and checked on me both nights that I dined here. Get the French onion soup!

Last minute decision for Thanksgiving. It was a really nice and delicious choice. Servers were PERFECT. Food was PERFECT!Might make it a tradition to go every time we are in D.C.
