French-Belgian fine dining with tasting menus & caviar
"A posh European flagship from chef Robert Wiedmaier that opened in 1999 and catered to Foggy Bottom and Kennedy Center patrons with caviar service, a vast Champagne selection, and multi-course tasting menus (starting at $130), it celebrated 25 years but will close after failing to reach lease terms with the new building owner; recent spring highlights included pan-seared halibut with snap peas and white asparagus–flanked risotto, and its last day offered an a la carte or $100-per-person Mother’s Day brunch." - Tierney Plumb
"Chef Robert Wiedmaier’s posh European standby that turns 25 this month continues to impress Foggy Bottom diners across 5-course tasting menus ($148) with macarons to finish. Seasonal highlights include lacquered squab breast dressed with floral honey and pan-seared scallops adorned with leeks and a sunchoke puree." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff

While there, sip on cocktails like holiday punch, champagne, and hot chocolate for the kids. The “Sip n’ Build” soiree is Saturday, December 16 from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and $90 per person includes the gingerbread house and beverages. Children under 6 are free." - Vinciane Ngomsi
