“Lovely experience! Everything was fresh and delicious, service was friendly and efficient, and the ambiance very pleasant. The croque monsieur was excellent with delicious ham and terrific crusty baguette. All of the pastries were fresh and perfect; we had the spinach and feta croissant, the pear tart, and the apple strudel. Happy to pay for good food and service, quality costs. Will return!“

“Went for our 25th wedding anniversary and was blown away with the service! From when we stepped inside, we were congratulated on our anniversary, waiter was very attentive and had casual conversation. Food was very good, and we loved our complimentary dessert and the ones we got with the menu! We will be back!“

“I can't say enough great things about Lutece. My wife and I shared one of the best dining experiences we've ever had in DC there recently. The food was sublime (duck confit tagliatelle was my personal favorite). The wine service was impeccable. The staff was super chill yet very attentive. And the atmosphere was perfect for the moment. We sat at one of the high top kitchen tables, which I highly recommend. We'll be back for sure.“

“Another wonderful meal at a truly lovely restaurant. The staff is very cordial and helpful and the food is tasty and well-presented. I had the salmon trio (smoked salmon, salmon tartar, and salmon roe) for an appetizer and sea bass for my entree. My husband had the wonderful onion soup for an appetizer and the crab cake, scallops, and shrimp for his entree. He was able to get the dish minus scallops as he is allergic to them!! Sample desserts and coffee rounded out our meal. A very pleasant evening all around.“

“A friend treated me to birthday dinner at Rosemary’s. Neither of us had been before and we were so happy to discover it. Start to finish every morsel was fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. We will be back!“

“I have a saying I’m sure I’m not the only one and the saying half the eating experience is the people. They Lyon Hall made me feel like I was with a friendly family. Steven the manager stopped by to check on me, Brooke was super friendly and accommodating, Migjon the chef brought me a special steak to enhance my burger experience. Talk about accommodating Veronica the hostess was really looking out for me. When I thought the item I came for was not available she was going to the chef to ask if they could make it for me(I saw the item was available and saved her the trip). The burger I had could use a little more seasoning beyond that it was perfect!“

“Great food. Great service“

“The food was fresh and delicious! The service was excellent and the owner came around to talk to us! He was so sweet!! He made us feel like family! I will definitely recommend this lovely establishment to my family and friends! I should have taken more photos, but I forgot- it was as sooo goo!!“

“This is the 2nd time I have taken my students as a field trip and they topped the incredibly high standards set last year.The food, the ambience, the generosity and the patience the service staff showed us was nothing short of phenomenal and I can't wait to go again next year. The students were raving about the food on the bus ride back so thank you, because almost all the students have never had French cuisine before and so their first impression of it is going to be hard to top. Special thank you to Amin for always treating us with a smile and grace even under such stressful circumstances and Prasad for checking on in the kids. Merci beaucoup!“

“My friend loved her hangar steak and we both loved our créme brulés, our side dishes and the wonderful bread. But I was quite disappointed in my Belgian stew entrée. I have had it there several times before, but last night, the beef was surprisingly fatty, including whole chunks of fat that looked like meat until I bit into them. The carrots also seemed as though they had come from a bag of frozen, cubed carrots, rather than fresh-cut. Just disappointing stew for the price and rather a rather skimpy portion, considering how much of the beef was not actual meat.“

“Outstanding food, drink and desserts. Exceptional service and staff. The best French food I’ve had since going to Paris.“

“Today was my 1st time eating here and I came with my father for Fathers Day. My father had eaten here several times and wanted me to try it. I liked Le Chat Noir and would come back again. Reasonably priced for higher quality French food.“

“The wait for food, including appetizers is long. I tell folks, don't go when your hungry! They should offer rolls immediately! Other than the wait for food (which seems to be normal at Julii), it was good as always! They also put up with me changing from 5 people to 4 and then 3, when one had to go to NJ last minute and one got sick. Lovely people!“

“Great service and amazing food“

“On a cozy, rainy morning, we had a mindful walk to Lake Anne and a magical lunch at Cafe Montmartre. One of our favorite spots, for sure“

“Returned to mosaic after years with great memories/At my surprise, the restaurant was not that busy.We were taken to our table within seconds of getting in.Our server Corey was very polite and efficient.Food was absolutely exquisite and well presented. We ordered the niçoise salade which is one of my favorite dish to eat out. It was beautiful and plentiful with purple potatoes and seared tomatoes. Served in a timely manner.I mentioned in the reservation we were celebrating my birthday and I totally forgot about it until they brought us a nice Belgian waffle with gigantic ripe strawberries, whipped cream and hot chocolate sauce:We will definitely be back.THANK YOU!“

“Excellent food. Big portions. Steak frites-awesome. French Onion soup, terrific. Friendly, attentive service. Well worth the price. Highly recommend.“

“Top tier croissant. I would return to try the sandwiches, and get more croissants. I would have appreciated the offer to toast/warm my croissant since i said i was dining in. They just tossed a cold one on a plate... i had to ask them to warm it. Anyway, quality patisserie, it seems.“

“Delicious Reasonable And Good service Indoor or outdoor We go back all the time“

“Great space, loved the food.“

“Friendly, accommodating and great options for food and wine. Also a great spot for happy hour!“

“Best French restaurant in DC area! We have come for special occasions, anniversaries and birthdays. The chef prepares everything and viewing the kitchen is an added pleasure. We have ordered various dishes over time and they have all been excellent. The Sancerre is the best, salads are perfect and main dishes like veal chop and duck are exquisite. Desserts are a delight. Service is attentive and personal. The rooms and outdoor dining are charming. We are so lucky to have Bistro Provence in this area! Thank you!“
