Restaurants near Washington Hilton

There were 3 of out for a post holiday dinner. I remember when they opened in the 90s and have never been disappointed. There is a true French bistro vibe going on. They were nice and busy, with the hustle and bustle you’d expect. We started with moules frites and were delighted. The sauce was great, we stopped ourselves from ordering more bread from the server’s assistant, Anna, so we would have room for dinner. The gentlemen ordered steaks which were cooked to perfection. I had the cassoulet. Wow! Every last morsel was so tender they positively melted in my mouth. The tart tatin was the perfect dessert to share at the end. I am looking forward to returning.

The service and food was excellent. A bit in the pricy side but overall well worth it.

Great food, great service and an excellent overall experience! We were a party of 6, and especially liked that the appetizers can be served family style! All of the pastas are house made and delicious! Portions were exactly right…not too much and not too little. Desserts were equally delicious. Highly recommend.

This place was extraordinary. It was 4 of us. My young adult kids and my husband and myself. We had the fish carpaccio and mussels to start. Both dishes were perfect. My kids were fighting over the mussel sauce in the end!! I had the soup of the day which was butternut squash made with a potato base and no dairy, incredibly flavorful!!! Delicious. Main dishes were pappardelle Alfredo, spaghetti with pancetta, filet mignon and I had the branzino. Everyone loved their food. I couldn’t finish the branzino since it was so much but I must say I order branzino often and this one is the best I have ever had! It was perfectly deboned, with so much skill, I was so impressed. The flavor was insane. A shame we are at a hotel and couldn’t bring the rest back. Service was perfect. Not rushed, very attentive, prompt clean up of plates. We had a female waitress. She was excellent! And the price! We live in Mismi and thought they might have forgotten to add something to the check. It is VERY reasonable. Loved a casual ambiance yet great setting, low background music. What a gem!!!! We loved it!!!

Joel was the best and I will definitely be returning with my friends for another girls night :)
