    Few places exceed expectations set for a newer restaurant but this was my experience on my first dinner at La Grande Boucherie. Filled to capacity for Thanksgiving, the service didn't suffer, the wine list well matched to the menu, and the food was perfectly prepared. The steak melts in your mouth, the French onion soup better than Paris, and oysters fresh, plump, and perfectly chilled. Outstanding. But nothing prepares you for the breathtaking ambiance! The sweeping staircase, magnificent Beaux Arts interior- you might think you're in Paris!

    My sister and I had an amazing Thanksgiving experience here. We ordered the Filet and Tail and we could not have been any happier. Victor took great care of us and ensured we had all that we needed and more. He was kind, attentive, and recommended items to us to try. My steak was cooked perfectly along with my lobster tail, but the Rockefeller Oysters stole the show. The ambiance was decadent, much like the delicious sweet potato pecan pie. I enjoyed the seasonal gin and tonic, while my sister delighted over the Bourbon Smash---the bartender did not disappoint. I did not catch her name, but we chatted for a few about various gins and bourbons. Although this was a busy day for the staff, they handled it with grace and the kitchen staff--- I mean, they really showed out. Not a dirty plate to be noted, portion sizes were consistent with the price, and special care and attention to plating was noticed. I will certainly return! If you get the chance, ask for Victor. He's phenomenal!

    I had dinner with my wife and two daughters tonight. The food was amazing. The appetizers came out quickly and they were delicious. We had the Tuna Tartare and Lamb Chops. For our dinner, we had Filet Mignon, Pan Seared Sea Scallops, and Pan Seared Chillean Seabass. The entrees were fabulous as were the sides, BVG Hashbrowns and Sautéed Spinach. For desert, we had Creme Brûlée and Lemon Crunch Cake. Our server was Victor. We all agree that Victor is, by far, the best server ever. He explained all the dishes and was very attentive throughout our meal. He was also very friendly and made us feel at home. We will eat here again when we return to DC and we will request Victor. Amazing dining experience.
