The place wasnt too expensive. A sea bass is going to be a $50 plate pretty much anywhere worth a darn. This was only 31 and 11 or so for a plate of calamari. Theq sauce for the calamari was different. So price wise , things were better then expected. The waiter was nice to give me more hot tea and bags. Helps dropping a few "L" "B" 's. Anyway, the food tastes better then expected and price was good too. Bathroom on the second floor of the hotel. Aside from that inconvenience all was good.

Small bistro serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Food was good tasting, hot and fresh but was surprised it took a while since we were the only guests seated. Otherwise a good meal.

Good choice for lunch whether you want an entree or a sandwich. The chicken sandwich with bacon and melted cheese with sweet potato fries was really good and reasonably priced at $12. Conveniently located next to the Farragut West metro and a short walk to the Renwick and White House.

This place was a cool oasis after walking in the hot sun of a 100° DC July afternoon. I had a burger and my partner had a beet salad. Both were very tasty and the service was good. Price with tip was approx $60.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. The food was delicious. We were on a walking tour around the city and very hungry. We stopped there without prior planning and as we were taking a look at what the outdoor posted menu offered, two extremely satisfied tourists went out and randomly strongly encouraged us to try it as they were very happy with their own experience. They talked non stop about how good the food was and how it should be an absolute loss if we dont give it a try. This is when another tourist got out of the restaurant and acertained what was previously advised. We did not regret it at all. The menu is rich and limited at the same time which is something I appreciate especially when I am new to the experience as I get easily lost when it comes to choosing from a big unfamiliar list. Each one of us had a preference and we all shared to taste. Everything was delicious ( crab cake, crab and avocado stack, soup of the day, filet mignon, LAMB BURGER, lobster raviolli). Also the music was perfect. Calm french ambiance. They also serve bread and unsalted butter while the order is being processed. The service is a little bit slow though but the waiters are helpful.

I thought it was going to be even more expensive Unfortunately the food was not tasty. We were only two customers at the restaurant and the waiter managed to forgot my order. I would not recommend it

Nice place, good service. The french toasts might be a little more creamy, less dry.

European styled restaurant. Elegant and great service. Their lamb burger is delicious
