I would also like to highlight that the atmosphere and service are amazing. The staff, management, and owners are great!
First time we ate in the main room and it was way too loud – I left actually hoarse because of trying to speak to our friends across the table. This time we sat in the back room and it was better. Not sure if they did anything to fix the noise absorption in the main room yet. Also, would be nice if they automatically provided a baguette and butter to each table.
The co-owner and chef, Michael Stebner, is very attentive and makes the rounds to all the tables. Each time we’ve been there he’s done the same, which I’m sure has lent itself to its continuous improvement. Overall a lovely restaurant – fun to visit and great food.
The ambience is beautiful and nicely decorated, and the service was good. Unfortunately, the food didn’t match the setting. As someone who used to work in a professional kitchen, I pay attention to execution. The escargot dish was underseasoned, though the crispy brie was good. The steak frites was the biggest letdown- burnt fries, barely any grill marks on the steak, and overall very underseasoned. Honestly, that plate wouldn’t have passed at my former workplace.
Both tables next to us were also having issues with their steaks, which made it feel like quality control just wasn’t there. Overall, we were left disappointed. It simply didn’t live up to the hype.
From the first bite, the food lives up to the promise of “classic French flavors.” While the kitchen doesn’t shy away from comfort, there’s a thoughtful freshness in everything.
Julia Child’s French Onion Soup
This rendition is hearty and robust, with sweet caramelized onions and a deeply savory broth. It leans more toward salty than sweet, a touch heavier than some of the lighter, more delicate onion soups out there — but it’s undeniably satisfying.
Escargot
Their escargot is well-executed: rich, buttery, garlicky. The pesto note, however, is a bit more restrained than I’ve enjoyed elsewhere. If you’re looking for a punchier herbal lift, this version feels gentle, but in a refined, understated way.
Lobster Royale
This was the highlight: a beautifully balanced plate where succulent lobster meat meets the bright acidity of grapefruit and the creaminess of avocado. The aioli helps tie it all together without overwhelming. Elegant, composed, and refreshingly modern.
Le Smash Américain Burger
Don’t let “French bistro” fool you — this burger stands out. With juicy double patties, melted Virginia cheddar, and a soft sesame bun, it’s indulgent. The house sauce is special and slightly tangy, though the whole is a little salty. Still, I found myself digging in and smiling.
Overall impression: Brasserie Royale is a delightful new addition to the Northern Virginia dining scene. It strikes a lovely balance between convivial neighborhood bistro and refined French eatery. The food is above average in both taste and execution, and while a few dishes could be tweaked to perfection, the experience left me eager to return — and sample more from their menu.
sat at the bar and bartender, Alanna was friendly, professional, and a great mixologist. I had a delightful French 75, actually two because the first one was so good.
Dinner with our server Eric, was professional and efficient. Shrimp cocktail appetizer was amazing along with the best French onion soup. Highly recommend the entrée steak Fritz , bread was fabulous, and dessert Was Absolutely delicious .
I would highly recommend this wonderful find in Sterling Virginia for French food .
Miya was our latest server and she provided excellent service. We tried the Garlic herb frites this time, the cream of spinach and the goat cheese ravioli. They all were amazing. The brie cheese appetizer and our entrees were amazing as well.
3 weeks prior, our original review was the following: Lindsey was our server and she was amazing! Also the young lady that was at the hostess desk, she seated us and came to check on us several times. Asked Lindsey for recommendations and what she thought about menu options that peaked our interest. Her answers helped us to decide what we wanted to eat.
The food was amazing. 3 course meal. Started with French onion soup and side salad. We also had non-alcoholic wine.
Entrees, we had steak and halibut. They both were amazing!
This is it! Go tell your neighbors we found the spot lol
Ok, 3rd time here. This is probably my favorite spot. So good I have to keep telling you about it. The food is delicious! just come here and enjoy it. Management, make that Sticky toffee pudding dessert a year round thing. Come on!
