   We go there often and the it seems like the portion size has gone down as well as the price is going up . I understand the economy is not in a good spot right now, but it seems one or the other would be OK and not both . we were seated right next to a first date table, but there were other spaces available. The weight staff is usually very friendly and accommodating. My husband doesn’t like that the quiche was taken off the menu. We miss the old beet salad. The seasonal ale is often out of stock. Good quality.

   Always a great vibe, wonderful food and wine! A place with energy but one can still hold fun discussions with your group.

   The ambience is great. Feels like you are in a France. The food was just OK. French Onion soup was great and I thought the Lobster Mac was decent but I received my scallops and they were pretty cold. Also, the surf part of the surf and turf was nothing spectacular/lacking flavor.

   Subpar in every way. Waiter was rude and pretentious for no good reason, as the food was nothing to write home about. Wouldn't go back.

   This is a great neighborhood restaurant. The menu is varied with many outstanding selections, and you can choose your bottle of wine from the extensive offerings on the shelves. The prices are reasonable. The servers remember our food and drink preferences and always greet us with a smile. It's conversation-friendly and definitely our "go-to" restaurant for a nice night out.

   Food was delicious, nicely presented and creative, and a good value, as was the wine compared with many other fine food restaurants, factoring in the expected wine markup. The service was attentive, perhaps a bit too so, as the waiter came back every minute or two to ask us if we were ready to order after we had literally just sat down, even though the restaurant was not at all crowded so there was no reason to be in a rush to get our order in, but she was otherwise excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

    New Year’s Eve dinner had great choices for appetizers. Onion soup was outstanding best in dc area . Beet salad was good. Rockfish entree was very flavorful with crispy potato pancake. Divers scallops were very tasty. Our favorite was the dessert— a coffee ice with white chocolate sabonye with donuts.
