    Food was excellent. Was there for Valentine’s Day so was busy and service was a little slow. But excellent value and beautifully prepared dishes. Chocolate bread pudding was fantastic.

    Bistrot Lepic is a wonderful French restaurant worthy of a special occasion or just a night away from home cooking. We enjoyed a lovely Valentine’s dinner at Bistrot Lepic. The special Valentine’s Day set menu had options to suit all tastes. The lamb and beef plats principaux we ordered were cooked to perfection. Entrees and the special dessert were equally delicious. The wine list includes excellent affordable options. Bon appetit!

    Caruso's Grocery at Pike & Rose is consistently excellent. It's hard to find really good Italian food in the area, so we were thrilled to discover them. The calamari is some of the best we've had, and we've really enjoyed the pasta dishes and entrees that we've tried over several visits. Highly recommend!

    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.
