The food was tasty but took a while to come out. It also got extremely loud extremely quickly (we were on the upper floor Saturday night). I got the beef bourgignon and it was good, I had more than enough for another meal.

One of my DC favorites - good food, fun vibe, always make good memories here with friends. They are always slammed, so service suffers a tad, but it's okay - because I still love it :)

Food was great and it was only made better by the atmosphere. Going into it we thought it would be fancier and we’re glad it wasn’t! Our server was very knowledgeable about gluten free options (which there are plenty) and everything we had was delicious. I will say that some of the wine/cocktails seem to be priced pretty high, but honestly everything else was great so who cares.

Cognac, baguette and butter, escargot…does it get any better than this?

We visited for dinner, had a 7 pm reservation and the restaurant wasn’t too busy yet. We both ordered the steak frites. The food came out incredibly fast - less than 3 minutes, but both steaks were overcooked. Service was underwhelming.Clearly a very popular restaurant- the restaurant was so packed by the time we left it was virtually impossible to leave - we had to physically push through a throng of people waiting to get out the door.

Our server was very kind and helpful. We ordered the seafood ravioli and a side of the garlic mushroom. Food was amazing and worth the price. Only thing we had an issue with was the seating since the tables are extremely close together and had someone back their chair into me. Overall, it was a great experience.

If you are looking for real French food in DC, you definitely have to come to this place.The onion soup and the escargots as a starters will blow your mind.The main was good, not remarkable, the duck meat was a little bit dry.

Terrible experience at this place! We were mistakenly given another table's bill which was significantly more than ours. We called over the maitre'd, who although he agreed, seemed annoyed with us.He took the check to fix and then proceeded to basically ignore us even as we put on our coats and were waiting by the bar to leave. We stood there for at least 15 minutes while he scurried around picking up credit cards from other tables and running them. All the while glancing over at us. Warning: check your bill and expect an attitude.
Food was ok, but good atmosphere, pricy. We enjoyed it. No sure we will go back, bc there are couple other places we would like to try in the same area.

Have been fan of The Bistrot du Coin for 12 years. The quality has gone down and the prices have gone up. My review concerns their pricing. The new menu tells you a 5% surcharge will be added to your check to cover higher costs while keeping prices the same. Problem is the prices have increased and now a 20% tip is automatically added to your bill! Now my bill had 2 bottles of wine.As everyone knows restaurants mark up a bottle of wine 100%, or more, already. So why am I paying an additional 5% +20% on my wine order? Bistrot, please, that is not right. And assuming I will always want to tip 20% takes my assessment of good service away from me and gives the wait service a tip they may not deserve because of doing a poor job. My suggestion is to review your billing and see how unfair your current policy is. Thanks.

The food here is outstanding. Mussels were cooked to perfection. Ravioli was decadent. Wine selection was varied and a good value. Service was a bit spotty, but they were extremely busy so this gets a pass.
