Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Columbia Heights / Brightwood

The moment we walked into La Grande Boucherie DC we felt welcomed. The hostess at the entrance shared a little about the beautiful venue before seating us. PRETTY COOL BAR! Our waiter, Steven welcomed us again before introducing himself. His attention made our visit special, as well as the overall staff. We ordered the lobster bisque and the pear salad, the salmon and the steak frites and shared a cheesecake for dessert. We certainly enjoyed our food and dining experience. La Grande Boucherie in NY had already made a good impression on us when we organized a large gathering with family and friends. We appreciate Filip at the hospitaity team, Steven in DC and Izzetin in NYC. Thank you!

Fantastic evening! Impressive to see the team work together as they prepare the experience throughout the evening. So impressed by the execution and attention to detail. Food and wine pairing was top notch. I love that they escort you to another room for dessert. They made our anniversary celebration unforgettable!

Although the meals are a little pricey, the ambiance and the staff are super. They have plenty of staff that move through the restaurant in a precise choreographic manner, with great attention paid to the customers. No one is standing around and everyone has their unique assignments. Edgar, our wait staff was exceptional, thoroughly explaining the different dish options and very knowledgable about the wine pairings. The food is excellent along with the wine pairings. There is a choice between a four and seven-course meal. While they say each course is small, it is still quite a lot of food. We barely got through the four-course meal. The wine pairings were also very good and well-matched with each course. They told us that they pour 2 ounces of wine per course, but it is a very generous 2 ounces. And definitely do not miss the desserts. They are light and exceptionally delicious. Excellent place for an intimate date or special occasion with your spouse. Highly recommend it.

Huge shoutout to all the staff the service was beyond amazing from start to finish. Special thanks to Samantha outstanding hostess and hats off to Keegan for making everything happen!!! My date loved every second of it hands down best Valentine’s Day ever!!!!
