"Le Chat Noir is the kind of spot where one person could wear a cocktail dress and the other jeans and a t-shirt, but no one would feel out of place. The Friendship Heights restaurant is a great family spot, where you can bring every generation together to toast to your little cousin’s sixth grade graduation, which happens to be on your great-uncle’s birthday. The kiddos will love the Nutella crepe, which is the best in town, and the straightforward, yet delicious steak frites. And anyone seeking more “sophisticated” French food will enjoy the butter-soaked escargot." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed
