    We dine here often and have always had a good experience and excellent food. Last night the service was terrible. We had a reservation and were seated when we arrived. After ordering drinks, the manager asked us to move our seats to allow a different party to sit at our table. We were outside (knowingly) but we were moved to a different outdoor location with less heat. Our server was rude and very inattentive. At one point I had to leave the table to ask for salt and pepper. The food delivery was ill-timed (I ordered that takes a while to prepare — not the first time, it’s a dish I like — but it was delayed further. In any case, it’s difficult to when one has this kind of experience at a spot that’s been wonderful. I did not see the owners around and wonder if there has been a change.

    We love this place. The food, the service, the ambiance. Brought some friends tonight from Rockville who had never been. They’re now converts.

    Beet and grilled leek starter was excellent. The seared cod was also excellent, simply prepared but delicious.

    As genuine Francophiles who go to France every year, La Piquette is our favorite French restaurant in the DC metro area. It’s the most authentic brasserie/bistro vibe and has the consistently good food you expect to find in Paris or any town in France. The service is so professional and friendly. The staff appreciates regular customers and we won’t ever stop going there. What to eat? It’s all good. My favorite appetizers are the pork rillettes, the artichoke, the pate, the sweetbreads, and the tomato tart. For entree’s, the steak frites, rabbit linguine, veal Milanese style, any of the fish dishes, especially when they have skate wing. The only drawback is the noise level. People just don’t know how to use their inside voices. Too bad for all of us other diners who are just trying to have a quiet conversation.
