    I was a little worried when I reserved a table for a Sat brunch and we arrived at 11 am to find ourselves the only ones there. I don't know why-- all the brunch dishes were unusually good.

    Terrific birthday dinner at District Bistro! creative dishes, perfectly seasoned, came out hot and very quickly. The cocktails were high quality and well balanced. It’s family run and you can tell the team cares about every aspect of the experience. That kind of service is getting hard to come by in the saturated MoCo food scene. We will be back ASAP

    We had a great lunch at District Bistro. The server was excellent - charming and attentive but not overbearing. We loved the beignets and the menu offered many good options for all. My shrimp and grits were delicious and all portion sizes were generous but not ridiculous. Our usual spot in Garrett Park was booked so we tried this. We will definitely come back. Well worth the quick trip to Wheaton for this gem. Also - easy parking across the street and prices were just a little below what we have become accustomed to paying.

    Really wonderful food and service. A modest-looking restaurant that could hold its own with the best restaurants in the DC area. Whatever you pay your chef(s), give them a raise! We were blown away with both the entrees, salad and desserts. Pricey, but we will definitely return for special occasions.

    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.
