Le Diplomate

Absolutely wonderful! I loved the food and the service. Upscale dining with a laid back atmosphere, nothing stuffy about it. While the menu was out of my comfort zone, the food was delicious, the drinks were to die for. This place completed my weekend in DC and made it memorable. The only regret I have is that I stuffed myself with wine, cheese and fine food, and left no room for dessert.

Always spectacular! I've been to France many times and the food seemed quite authentic, very comparable. Clean atmosphere, and very kind and professional staff (from the few I have encountered there). My birthday is fast approaching and the owners have been great to work with / arrange the large event to be catered.

When we first decided to go here I thought this restaurant would be another one of those tourist traps. You know, the kind where the food is overpriced, lacked flavor, and was all hype. Thankfully that wasn't even close to being true. The menu was small yet diverse. I ordered the steak frites and it came out perfectly. The steak was cooked to my exact specifications, and the fries were on point. The service also gets a 5/5. Our waitress was attentive yet not overbearing, and the cocktails she got us were mixed perfectly. Definitely recommended. PS: Don't forget to order the bread basket. You'll miss out.

I’ll start this review as one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Our party of two was seated right away when we walked in. From the fresh bread to the service, everything was outstanding. The atmosphere is relaxing but still upbeat. We started with the escargot, then onto the scallops and strip steak with a side of roasted carrots and ended with a decadent dessert. Would come back to D.C. just for another meal here, it’s that good!

The ambiance is terrific (don’t plan on walking in - make a reservation). Dinner in the conservatory section is nice (quieter). The staff moves with alacrity. Extensive wine list. We enjoyed fine carnivore and veg options prepared and plated beautifully. Sending a nudge to take similar care when boxing take away nibbles and make sure the laminated menus aren’t sticky.
