Outstanding little French restaurant. We flew into DCA rush and rather than fight traffic stopped here for dinner on a whim. We ordered gazpacho, onion soup, moules et frites and salade Nicoise. Both soups were fantastic! The Gruyère was amazing in the soup. Both main plates were excellent. We then ordered desserts… these were sublime! Have to come back and try more on the menu! Attentive service and the restaurant is well appointed.

A fine dining experience very similar to what you would get in France itself. We had brunch and everything from service to food to atmosphere were top notch. Looking forward to coming back for dinner. Also one of the few places in Alexandria with free street parking!

First we called before for a reservation. It was a misunderstanding. The gentleman as host and manager probably didn’t seem to pertain to the elementary courtesy standards.

Food was pretty good but nothing extraordinary. We had Sunday brunch this time. Feels like their regular dinner menu was better when visited several months ago. Server was polite. Atmosphere was pleasant, but felt a bit too close to the next tables. Street parking was easy, which was a bonus.

We went for restaurant week and it was hands down the best we’ve been too! We did the wine pairing as well, and it was definitely worth it! We were impressed with the staff, dazzled by the presentation and service and enjoyed every morsel of delicious food! We will definitely be back! … update, 6months later we went back and every word still rings true!

This was my first time here is years. The food was just as great as I remembered. I had the escargot and the steak. They were absolutely great. The steak was cooked to perfection. Not under cooked and not over cooked. Just perfect. The hostess was very attentive to our wants and needs. After we were seated, we continued to have stellar service. We will certainly be back very soon.

I came here years ago when I lived down the street and I remember it being delicious and upscale but I had to come back again to double check. The hostess was quick to greet me and showed me where I could find a seat at the bar. I was promptly given a menu and water while I selected my drink order. The barrel aged Negroni was delicious, as was the nut brown ale beer on tap. Today I decided on a cheese board, scallops, and creme brûlée. I felt the cheeseboard could have used a pickle or jam, the scallops were perfection, and the creme brûlée could have been more firm but from what I have read it is intended to be more of a yogurt consistency. Overall Rudy provided excellent service as well as all support staff, I was happy with my visit and definitely will come back again.

We’ve been here twice in person and once for takeout, and our second time dining in was outstanding. The beef bourguignon and scallops with risotto were stand outs. The kitchen was quite fast and while we had to wait a while to get menus, the food more than made up for the wait. We will definitely be back!
