If you're looking for delicious old fashion style French cuisine, this is THE place to go in DC. Everyone in my party (there were 4 of us) was satisfied with what they ordered. The wine list is excellent and reasonable. And we were seated near the fireplace which was so very cozy. I recommend the quenelles in champagne sauce and the chocolate souffle was to die for! We went on the recommendation of a neighborhood hotel concierge and we can't wait to go back.
