You know a place is really great when you walk in with a specific dish in mind & it’s not on the menu anymore so you order something else and it is absolutely delicious too!

After suffering from Herpes disease for 5 years I finally finished taking Dr. Ojamo remedy and went to the hospital for check up and my doctor told me I was cured and was very curious about it because it’s so unbelievably, I visited his page on Facebook and reached out to him. Thanks so much Dr. Ojamo https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100071521471599

The entrees were a good portion size but I think they could have used a little more flavor. The desserts were absolutely amazing. I had the Sticky toffee pudding and the chocolate souffle

The name says it all for the dining experience here. The room is well spaced out, warmly decorated and allow decent conversation with your meal parties. The food is really good if not outstanding. Ingredients are fresh and served in generous portions. I’m glad i didnt order any appetiser otherwise I wont be able to have room for more sinful dessert.Beet of my heart, I kid you not thats the cocktail I ordered. And you guessed it right it has beet in it. Its a concoction of burned beet syrup with bourbon. The drink sounded weirdly phony but its actually quite well mixed and tasted refreshing.Highly recommended

Pleasant French place in NW DC, kinda pricey for the experience but it’s decent. Service was good, room is nice. I had the bouillabaisse, pretty good.

Very nice restaurant - with a reasonable range of meat, fish, and vegetables. Service is attentive and the dining room is comfortable. The leek appetizer is particularly delicious, as I've ordered it both times I've been. The shrimp and asparagus appetizer is also excellent. Less enthusiastic about the fois gras. Other highlights - the steak frites (both full size NY Strip and the bavette cut), the pork chop, and the boullabaisse. Hamburger was overcooked and disappointing. I did see a cute little rat scurrying around the patio when leaving - but that's unavoidable in the city. Just a reminder of the downside of eating al fresco.

Great French cuisine, wonderful service, beautiful restaurant.

I love the staff, Very friendly. Great food and drinks. Excellent desserts and espresso.Michelin recommended.The patio seating could use an update and indoor could use some air fresheners.

We were here for Saturday Lunch. The brunch/lunch menu was excellent. I lived the French Onion Soup. Fast and Friendly Service. Definitely come here if you are looking for French food

Went in for date night dinner. The dinning room area was spacious and we didn't have to wait to get sitted. The bar area I must say is gorgeous, spacious and has way better ambiance than the dinning area. They offered a wide range of boozy cocktails, (hot ones too), but their sparking wines were a little flat.For start ordered the onion soup that was delicious, the portion size for the entree was perfect such that we took leftovers home. It's a pricey place, but their food is worth it.
