   First time having dinner here and the whole experience was terrific. Service was especially notable — every person we interacted with had the perfect touch and made the evening that much more special. Food and drinks were of course impeccable.

   Really lovely place. Great for a quiet date, with family, or dining solo. The food is delicious and the menu is well-curated.

   I enjoyed an absolutely delicious four-course prix fixe dinner at Petite Cerise. Every course was exquisitely presented and a wonderful balance of flavors and contrasting textures. The menu is a successful combination of French classics and more regionally and globally-inspired fare. Service was inexplicably slow on a not terribly busy Wednesday, especially at the beginning of the evening, but the waitstaff were very professional and helpful. The decor is a little disappointing, not quite matching the level of the cuisine. However, the tables are widely spaced and the noise level very civilized, phenomena that are entirely too scarce in Washington. I absolutely recommend Petite Cerise for anyone interested in a sophisticated and contemporary take on Gallic cuisine in a more serene environment than the city's most popular French establishments.

   Food was wonderful- very thoughtful and delicious. Service was friendly, helpful, and good overall although a little uneven in speed. We waited exceptionally long between the snack and appetizer courses and then the following courses were more closely paced. The prix fix menu felt reasonably priced for DC at this moment: not cheap but well worth it for the quality of food. It was our first time and we will return.
