Without a reservation and coming in around 9:45 the night before Valentine’s Day, we were pleasantly surprised to get a table almost immediately! Also, they politely asked us to order food quickly as their kitchen usually closes around 9:30- amazing service!
We ordered the beef tartare – 9/10
-comes with kettle cooked chips to scoop the round, multi layered concoction. The pickled celery and aioli add depth to the flavors!
Dozen oysters – 10/10
-If the oysters are flavorful, they’ll always get a 10 from me, and these were no exception. The waiter suggested trying the range of salinity from low to high so we ordered a variety.
Branzino amandine – 8/10
-This dish was the perfect size to split after our appetizer and oysters! The sliced nuts added a pleasant, earthy texture to the white fish which was perfectly cooked and sat on a bed of rice and long green beans. Would order again, especially if the appetite is low.
Lastly, we ordered the Vieux carre, a spin on an old fashioned New Orleans style. We got two each !
All in all, great experience for our first night in DC after a walk around downtown.

I have come here multiple times for personal and business occasions. Every time, the quality of the food, the flavors, and aromas blow me away. I have tried too much to list, so I will say I cannot recommend this place enough. I recently went for a Valentine’s Day Brunch, we tried the steak and eggs, catfish and grits, and the Banana French toast. All excellent. There was also a live artist playing music to uplift the ambience. One honorable mention from previous visits was the Duck Jambalaya. It comes with what may be one of the best rice dishes I have ever had at a restaurant. Amazing job they do here!

I went to Dauphine’s during DC Restaurant Week and had such a great experience. The food and service were amazing from start to finish, and the restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful. I had never had potato salad in gumbo before, but it was such a nice twist and surprisingly worked so well. The bread pudding wasn’t my personal favorite, but my friends loved it. The real standout for me was the ube cheesecake (not pictured). It was an unexpected and delicious surprise.

First and foremost, our waiter (Sam) was amazing and the service was 5/5 because of him. The food itself was a 4/5. We ordered fried frog legs and the jambalaya for appetizers and they were both incredibly salty, particularly the frog legs. The best appetizer we had was the artichoke dip. The bread service was a fun addition. The main entrees were good.
For dessert, we ordered the trio ice cream because it listed “apple pie” as one of the flavors which seemed unique, but it was just plain vanilla. It was a bit disappointing. We also got the beignets, which were great. They had Aval cider, which made for a delicious pairing with the dessert.
Overall atmosphere was great, 5/5.

What stood out to me the most was the service at Dauphine’s! They treat you with Southern hospitality, the Louisianan way (as they greet you upon entrance). All the food we ordered tasted great. We especially enjoyed the bread service dish as an appetizer and the branzino. Any of the seafood options are solid!

[2nd visit- Saturday Bruch]
I’ve been back for brunch (cuz their dishes were AMAZING), and the experience completely changed my impression. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, and the flavors were excellent across the board. I can really tell care goes into each menu item.
It has quickly become one of my favorite brunch spots, to the point that I’m already planning to visit again with my family toward the end of the year. I also heard they have live jazz on Sundays, which I’m really looking forward to experiencing next time.
[First visit- Saturday Dinner]
Overall, I was so excited about this place after reading great reviews, but my experience was little bit different.
We went for a special occasion (made a reservation in advance), but our main dish came out nearly over 40 minutes after ordering, and there were several mix-ups with the orders. (Without any explanation, different servers kept coming to my table and bring and take foods…)
Fortunately, our server (I believe his name was Sam) was excellent—kind, attentive, and professional. His whiskey cocktail recommendation was fantastic and made the wait much more enjoyable.
Thanks to him, what could have been a frustrating night ended on a positive note.

I wanted to organize a simple yet elegant (and ridiculously last-minute) birthday celebration with about 30 friends, many of whom I hadn’t seen in years. Therefore the food and ambience were equally important.
Dauphine’s was the ideal place to host my gathering as everyone commuted from across the entire DMV. Located in the prime Midtown Center-which previously housed The Washington Post-the New Orleans-inspired restaurant is a stone’s throw from the White House, National Mall, Capital One Arena and other numerous attractions that are naturally worth checking out. [FYI: The venue is metro accessible and metered street parking is available, albeit limited. For added convenience, there’s a garage in the alley directly behind Dauphine’s that I used (and thankfully so because I could barely move after eating so much.)]
From the moment we stepped through the entrance, I felt like I was in the French Quarter. Arrive camera-ready, people, because the layout and decor are Insta-worthy. And the menu…my oh my the food and drinks were impeccably presented and mouthwateringly superb, boasting authentic Cajun and Creole touches served with a contemporary flair. Our orders were quickly delivered by friendly, polished staff including our attentive bartender for the evening, Christian. Thank you!
I had to turn my phone off the following day as my guests called and texted me virtually nonstop, raving about how much they enjoyed the NOLA vibe in such a luxurious setting. Our experience was nothing short of PERFECTION and because of that, we all plan on returning extremely soon…perhaps in a week or two but who’s counting? (Raises both hands.)
Check out Dauphine’s for yourself, come hungry and try a bit of everything, including the beignets…honestly, they surpass the ones at Cafe Du Monde!

Love the interior and the food! To me French Cajun means terrific flavor without the price and arrogance of French dining. Our waiter Marvin was very patient gave clear, explanations and flexible with changes.
All around it’s an extraordinary place for a celebration or special occasion!

Absolutely loved Dauphine! The ambiance was warm and charming, and the food was even better. The pasta was incredibly fresh with rich, balanced flavors, and the mocktails were surprisingly creative and delicious — not an afterthought at all. Service was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel effortless. Definitely a place I’d come back to.

This is our second time visiting the restaurant and we were hugely surprised by the quality of the food comparing to the visit a few years ago. We ordered four appetizers and three entries and one desert and everything is delicious. The most noteworthy included the bread service, the bullfrog, the blackened catfish and desert, amazingly delicious.
We will definitely come back again!
