One of DC’s newest restaurants and definitely didn’t disappoint. Started with the escargot and the grilled octopus, which were both amazing. The garlic and herb butter used on the escargot was amazing. So good, we needed bread to dip it in (which was complimentary if asked). The grilled octopus was prepared really well. It was super tender and was one of my favorite dishes. For the entrees, we got the hanger steak au poivre and the lobster pasta. The steak was also amazing and another favorite while the lobster pasta was ok, probably wouldn’t order it again. And finally for dessert, the caviamisu. Very light and delicious! The atmosphere of the restaurant makes you feel like you’re not in DC. You could sit there and vibe out for hours if possible. Overall, an amazing meal and experience. I would definitely come back again.

My husband and I celebrated our 13 yr wedding anniversary and they did not disappoint! I had escargot which is one of my favorite French dishes and it was delicious. Ceasar salad was okay, but that branzino… was amazing! My husband’s lamb chops were seasoned well, however slightly undercooked than medium, it was more like medium rare but was edible. The great seasoning made up for that. Last but not least my dessert, piemontaise hazelnut souffle was the star of my night!! Chef’s kiss!! Overall, this was an awesome way to celebrate love and I was a happy girl!

Attended specifically the Le Brunch Party in December. The restaurant was lovely, included a complimentary coat check and the food was delicious. Le Brunch Party charges each guest at least $100 in orders, so we ate and drank very well.
We attended brunch at 12:45, and there was a live singer in the house, greeting all of the guests and singing to everyone. She sang pop hits from the 80s-2000s, in a very mellow way. The last brunch order is accepted until 2 pm.
The party turns up at 2:45 pm, when the shades are lowered and the music turns up. Napkins are twirled, and guests are out of their seats, dancing and having a grand time. It was like a night club in the middle of the day. It’s perfect for a birthday celebration. The dress code was nicer than casual; men wore casual suits and women wore chic dresses and heels.

AMAZING! As soon as I walked in I was transported and it felt wonderful. Evgenia F was so gracious and accommodating. I like to try a lot of things and she went with it. Everything was fabulous, my compliments to the Chef and kitchen staff. The freaking balsamic vinegar and oil was the start of it all, so good, and it didn’t stop. You have to try the octopus. The cold potatoes through me off with the hot octopus. The bolognese, and the raspberry dessert.. Chef’s kiss. We will be back.

Excellent experience earlier this month dining here with my friends: superb French-Mediterranean cuisine, professional but unpretentious service, and gorgeous decor outlining the spacious and bright venue. I could have done without the increasingly loud and misplaced crappy club music they played as the night progressed but that’s about it.
We enjoyed the following dishes:
Foie Gras Opéra (brioche, foie gras mousse, preserved cherry. port jelly /4 pc) – beautifully presented and each bite was just short of divine. Wonderful opener.
Lapin à la Marseillaise (campanelle, rabbit ragout, white wine,
tomato, mushroom, olive, Pecorino) – perfectly made pasta dish with tender rabbit ragout, and just the right amounts of mushroom, olive and cheese flavors.
Filet Mignon (8 oz, centercut, bearnaise) – their house made bearnaise was indigent and paired perfectly with their fine filet cut.
“Bouillabaisse” (Gurnard, Dorade, Black Bass, prawn,
red mullet, mussels, seafood tomato
& saffron broth served with rouille sauce ) – quite good overall but definitely not the standout.
Dessert and cocktails were excellent as well. Would love to return.

A great place for lunch in every way. My Quiche Provencale ($22) was delicious, and my server, Bridget, made me feel right at home and comfortable when I was seated in the bar area. The location couldn’t be more convenient, close to the Metro. A very special lunch that’s affordable if you’re on a budget.

One of my favorite restaurants was Convivial
Had dinner here last night and the four of us shared a number of their delicious shareables like escargot, brandade, and gougere and then I went onto to scallops and hangar steak. Everything was impeccable from the service, to the cooking and presentation, all in one of the most beautiful spaces.

The service was phenomenal, and so was the food. I loved the lobster pasta, highly recommend!! Trey and Kat were awesome, recommended amazing wine pairings and made our first visit so pleasant!! The bouillabaisse was hearty and full of flavor. We ended the dinner with some lovely port and creme brûlée, all so good! Highly recommend for a lovely date night or dinner with the family or work colleagues, the place is stunning!

Celebrated a bday here and the food was delicious! The duck was perfectly cooked, I would’ve opted for less sauce since it was very sweet, so that would be one note for the servers – to just let us know we can pour the sauce if we’d like to.
The burrata was super fresh and the desserts were all to die for!
The smoky old fashioned was also just right in terms of flavor and scent.
