Best Bistros in Brookland / Brentwood

We recently dined at La Piquette and had a great experience. Our party of four was celebrating an anniversary and a birthday, and the afternoon couldn't have been more perfect. From the moment we walked in, the cozy, intimate setting created the ideal atmosphere for our special celebrations. We skipped the appetizers and ordered our entrees, which included Prime Beef Steak and Frites, Lobster Risotto, Halibut, and Sautéed Fresh NC Shrimp. Each dish was a perfect blend of flavors and textures, beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. It was evident that the chefs put a lot of passion and creativity into their culinary creations. The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, ensuring every detail of our dining experience was right. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable, adding a personal touch to our celebrations. And don’t overlook their desserts! They were the perfect ending to a perfect meal. The sweet treats were as delightful and creative as the main courses, leaving us thoroughly impressed and satisfied. Overall, La Piquette exceeded our expectations in every way. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. The only thing that would make me hesitant to return again would be the 2+ hour ride up I95. No, on second thought, not even that would keep us from being repeat customers.

We have been fans of Bistrot Lepic for many years. If you are looking for classic French bistro fare, beautifully prepared, this is the place to go. The ambience is charming and the wait staff is solicitous but not overly so. The menu is sufficiently varied so that you will not be bored by the usual French dishes.

Food was excellent. Was there for Valentine’s Day so was busy and service was a little slow. But excellent value and beautifully prepared dishes. Chocolate bread pudding was fantastic.

The restaurant is one of our favorites! Food is always very good and the service, wonderful!

Very excellent establishment and service. More availability of classes/experiences could be cool!
