Best Bistros in Georgetown

We recently dined at La Piquette and had a great experience. Our party of four was celebrating an anniversary and a birthday, and the afternoon couldn't have been more perfect. From the moment we walked in, the cozy, intimate setting created the ideal atmosphere for our special celebrations. We skipped the appetizers and ordered our entrees, which included Prime Beef Steak and Frites, Lobster Risotto, Halibut, and Sautéed Fresh NC Shrimp. Each dish was a perfect blend of flavors and textures, beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. It was evident that the chefs put a lot of passion and creativity into their culinary creations. The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, ensuring every detail of our dining experience was right. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable, adding a personal touch to our celebrations. And don’t overlook their desserts! They were the perfect ending to a perfect meal. The sweet treats were as delightful and creative as the main courses, leaving us thoroughly impressed and satisfied. Overall, La Piquette exceeded our expectations in every way. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. The only thing that would make me hesitant to return again would be the 2+ hour ride up I95. No, on second thought, not even that would keep us from being repeat customers.

We have been fans of Bistrot Lepic for many years. If you are looking for classic French bistro fare, beautifully prepared, this is the place to go. The ambience is charming and the wait staff is solicitous but not overly so. The menu is sufficiently varied so that you will not be bored by the usual French dishes.

We showed up to celebrate my wife’s birthday and the place was empty at front desk for a bit. When someone showed up, the young woman asked where our reservation was made. I told her it was via OpenTable and was for dining. She seemed flustered and asked three more times after which I handed her my phone and the app to see if that made it easier for her. She expressed some frustration at something, not sure what, but finally proceeded to guide us to a table. The restaurant was only busy near the bar so I’m not sure why the host/hostess area was vacant for so long but it was mid-week so it’s plausible to have reduced staff at the time. We were served and waited on by a wonderful bartender who was tasked with cover the entire restaurant and the bar. That bothered us a little bit that she had to cover so much ground, when there were two people at the hostess station, in a non-rush period, that could’ve easily helped her out, as the bar was full when we came in. Nonetheless, our bartender/waitress was PHENOMENAL!!! Great service, vibes, and always professional. If we were to come back, we’d be glad to just be served/waited on by her. On to the food: - Lobster Flatbread - 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 that thing was amazing. I don’t usually do flatbreads, but was encouraged by my wife to switch it up. Every bite was amazing, right along with the garden salad on the side. - Bourbon Refresh - I’ve never had quite a drink with made with bourbon before. Truly refreshing and almost teleported me to spring time on the patio enjoying the breeze without a care in the world. - ultimate grilled cheese - my wife surprised at how much she enjoyed it. The person who brought it from the kitchen mistakenly called it a BLT, which threw both of us off. Nonetheless, she enjoyed every bite. - shareable sliders - too notch, tender, flavorful, would definitely recommend. We may patron the establishment again during a different time slot and day of the week, especially to see the gaming options.

Food was amazing from the chaceuterie board and bone in ribeye for two to the crème brûlée. Just incredibly tasty, well presented, and cooked to perfection. Our waiter was amazing, allowed time between courses so we could enjoy the whole experience. Highly recommend as it was one of the best meals we have ever enjoyed.

Our first experience dining at Chez Billy was delightful. It is an intimate restaurant with beautiful decor and attentive staff. The Caesar Salad and Onion Soup started our meal and were delicious ( the Caesar the best I’ve ever had). The Tuna and Duck entrees were perfectly prepared. We ended our dinner with the cheesecake and rice pudding … delish! Billy Sud is a little Georgetown gem.
