***FOOD: Ohlala Chef's Kiss to this romantic quaint French Bistro. Almost Perfect meal. FRENCH BREAD -excellent although the balsamic & olive oil dipping (instead of butter) didn't seem very French, more like Italian appetizer; LOBSTER BISQUE- yum divine; assorted charcuterie -PÂTÉ & bread points, cheese & gherkins-very tasty; FOIS GRAS- melt in your mouth good; FROG LEGS (cuisses de grenouille)- good, although the legs had a heavily deep fried batter, so it looked big but had little meat; ESCARGOTS-good but it was in a creamy sauce/soup (not in traditional 6 hole escargot dish & not bathing in garlic butter); DUCK DUET- confit & pan seared w/ orange sauce- very very good cooked perfectly; LAMB SHANK- fall off the bone deliciousness; BEEF SHORT RIBS- OMG so tender and cooked bourguignon style just like the French do so well;. DESSERT TRIO - strawberry MOUSSE -oh wow so smooth and fluffy good; MACARON- have had better, (the best are the Laduree macarons in France, they have a store in DC). PROFITEROL- good (a little too much chocolate overtop & prefer mine with custard inside instead of whipped cream); TRUFFLE CHOCOLATE-ok ( didn't smell or taste the truffle, it was ok chocolate); LEMON SQUARE- good for lemon dessert Think the dessert was a good sampling so it can appeal to all diners (diners bound to like one of the desserts) Would have liked to have had Chocolate Mousse or Crème Brûlée or traditional Soufflé or Île Flottante. All in All nearly perfect dinner as end of the year celebration. also WINE LIST was extensive and superb, found wine hadn't seen in a long time.
***COST (OUT OF 4$) $$$ very reasonable for all you get in this prix fixe menu;
***DÉCOR: very very cozy French Bistro interior. Sat downstairs main, don't know what the upstairs is like.
***SERVICE: Professional service, Sheena our server was outstanding, very on point, courteous, water filled constantly, excellent wine recommendations, knowledgeable. Food came out hot and exceedingly fast; liked that our mains came and servers set the plate down at the same time, liked that they replaced & gave us fresh plates. Very accommodating & never felt rushed.
***RECOMMEND: TRIPLE YES YES YES HIGHLY RECOMMEND. will definitely be back. Perfect for celebratory dinner, anniversary romantic date dinner or just go every week dinner out because of the excellent food.
