          Review summary

          AI-generated from verified diner reviews
          Rosemary Bistro Cafe is a charming neighborhood gem offering authentic French cuisine with a twist. Known for its "excellent food" and "dependably good service," it's perfect for both special occasions and casual get-togethers. Highlights include the "floating island dessert" and attentive staff like Tim. Outdoor seating is popular, though street noise may be a consideration.

            I ate here twice last week! Christmas dinner for our family (seven people) was a delight; the place was full so it was a little noisy, but we weren't bothered by that. Sunday brunch (four people) a few days later was less crowded and perfectly quiet. Both times the food was excellent, the service was attentive, and we had a great time. I enjoyed the onion soup and beef tenderloin on Christmas and the Dover Sole looked fabulous too. The Belgian waffle and bacon on Sunday were perfect. Overall, a great discovery and I will be back next time I'm in DC for sure!

            They made a mistake with a dinner order and replaced it quickly...and sent me home with the first dish. Excellent service. Thanks.

            We were a group of six, and everybody was thrilled with the cuisine and the service. The Epoisse casserole, the frisée salad with duck confit, the pheasant, the duck, and the veal chop were sublime, and of course the Floating Island dessert was as magnificent as ever. Tim and Alina are wonderful servers! We totally love this place. Highly recommended!

            Rosemary is a true neighborhood gem, and offers inventive Franch-bistro cuisine in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Tim is a fabulous server to boot. We had the onion tart, the pheasant, and the hazelnut/pecan tart -- all wonderful dishes! Highly recommended!

            While I am a big fan of Rosemary both for lunch and dinner I was disappointed in my lunch there on Friday. I ordered the Ceasar salad with Chicken and the chicken breast was quite dried out and leathery, and the greens were meager .

            Great food and service. We had two young children with us and they took lovely care of them bringing their food right away and giving them dessert as a bonus. A lovely evening was had by all.
