   The restaurant atmosphere and service is excellent. Everyone was really nice and prompt to help with anything. They even charged my power bank for me at the front desk. The food however... is mediocre for the price. It was good, but not great. Small portions are acceptable if the flavor is truly exceptional, but it was not. Very high prices are small amounts of food that was just OK. The best thing we got was the French Gnocchi.

   Went here as a solo diner, and the server didn't make an effort to check on me for over 30mins at a time between each course, which is a shame as I would have wanted to order more. Because of this, I was sat for nearly 3 hours before I could wave my server down for the check, which includes an automatic 20% gratuity.

   This is our favorite restaurant in DC but they could definitely work on the Ambiance! The lights are pretty bright and I wish they would dim them more as it gets darker. Also the view of the Sbarros from the window isn’t great so I wish they could have decent curtains. Besides that everything else is genuinely perfect.

   We did the prix fix which gives a full experience of the menu. Staff was warm and friendly as well as quick to move off empty plates and cleanup. They executed with top notch professional without being too formal. Portions were fair and not heavy. Since it is French, we’d prefer related background music and perhaps a lower light level. This is a great place for visitors and special occasions.

    A very lovely and charming cafe. Service was very friendly. Food was excellent — not huge portions, but very nice. Not inexpensive, but very pleasant.
