We first stumbled into Bistro 112 back in December 2024, and it instantly became one of those little gems you can’t wait to revisit.
On our recent trip, we went back specifically for the famous Arugula Martini they had recommended on our first visit — and once again, it did not disappoint!
We had a later reservation this time since the bistro was booked for a private event until 7:30. When we arrived at 7:45, the staff welcomed us warmly. Everything was clean, organized, and seamlessly reset for dinner service.
Our waiter struck the perfect balance of being attentive without hovering — checking in just enough, offering thoughtful recommendations, and making sure we were well cared for all evening.
The food was, once again, absolutely delicious. I ordered the lamb, my boyfriend chose the filet, and both dishes were fantastic with generous portions. For dessert, we shared the flourless chocolate cake and a macaron — honestly, it was more sweets than we needed, but every bite was beautiful and worth it.
The ambiance is exactly what you want from a French bistro: relaxed, inviting, and subtly sophisticated.
Bistro 112 continues to be one of our favorite finds — and we can’t wait to return again.

This is a quaint, beautiful bistro. We were greated warmly by the staff and seated immediately. The decor is very pleasant and cozy. Surprisingly, there is a cute bar area. There are options to sit outside where there is a gorgeous garden, or cozy seating upstairs. The menu is interesting, the food is quality and delicious. The food and drink presentation was beautiful. I tried my husband’s cute little biscuit and I can say it was the best biscuit I have ever tasted. Leah was our server and she was wonderful. Jay the owner took her time to check on us and gave us a tiny tour. She is so nice. 10 out of 10 we will be back.

Wonderful little spot in heart of downtown. Friendly and attentive staff from the moment you enter. Excellent flavor profiles and seasoning of all dishes. One of the best eggs Benedict I’ve had. Only minor comment might be the portion size of the smoked salmon was rather small for a brunch menu item. Other than that, zero issues. Highly recommended for a day trip anyway from DC. If weather suits, go for patio seating!

How can a restaurant this good be in such a small town? I stopped here for lunch while riding the C&O canal path. The hostess was fine with me sitting in the main dining area, but I felt more comfortable on their patio, which was lovely. It has lots of hanging plants but was still sunny. I had their Thai salmon which had perfectly crispy skin and wonderful flavor. And I was so happy I opted to get dessert.

Can’t give this place enough stars! We happened upon this adorable place by accident and it turned out to be the best part of our trip! Our experience was absolutely amazing. Our service was fantastic and our server Elijah was just wonderful. He was so kind, helpful, and truly great at his job. As if the food wasn’t already the perfect reason to love this place, he made our visit all the more worth while! And the food.. wow! Everything was so fresh and there wasn’t one thing we left behind on our plates. We were thoroughly impressed with how thoughtful everything was when it left that kitchen. We had the soup of the day, escargot, the lamb chop, the blackened ahi tuna and the pistachio creme brulee to wrap it up. All of it was outstanding! The prices were more than reasonable. We actually couldn’t believe the food was that amazing for the prices we paid for it. Bottom line is.. Check this place out!! And ask for Elijah. we assure you won’t leave disappointed.

We had dinner last night and boyyy was it good! There were 6 of us and everyone raved about the service and the food! No complaints! I personally had the French onion soup and the trout and they both were great! The sauce for the trout was out of this world! Service was great! Our server was sweet and knowledgeable. The bartender made a mock tail for a kid in our group and he hand delivered it and made her feel very special! It was a wonderful experience all around and we will definitely be back!

Very nice atmosphere, prices are reasonable. Cocktails can be more reasonably priced but they were great. Food is very tasty. Worth the price.

Atmosphere- this was my first time here, I reserved a table for 1and was seated upstairs at table 26. The room had some diners when I arrived but I was alone in a dining space withon an hour of being there and I was placed at a very breezy emoty fireplace, i had to wrap my coat around me for the duration of my stay.
I enjoyed the food immensely, was one of the best meals outside my home since living in this area.
The escargot was fantastic, the chicken exquisite and the spiced chocolate macaron was an adventure of flavor! I paired Sancere with the meal and it did not disappoint.
Highly recommend for one of the best meal adventures in the area! My only suggestion would be if there are single diners maybe consider sitting them in busier areas unless they specifically ask to not be. I came for my birthday and though I don’t mind dining alone I ended up in a an empty dining room which eventually felt awkwrd for my server. Just a consideration
Albeit I enjoyed and would highly recommend and come again as often as I can!

Highly recommend for brunch. French toast looks underwhelming BUT IT IS INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS. I order it every time. My boyfriend loves the farmers breakfast and so do I. It’s filling and very yummy. They switched bacon brands a few weeks back and it was terrible but they switched to a different brand and it’s perfectly seasoned again.
