   The food and service were outstanding. The main restaurant is very noisy and energetic, but we sat in the enclosed outdoor space in order to have a conversation more easily, and that was great. Quiet, warm, there are heaters and even blankets (they weren't needed even though it was quite chilly outdoors). Overall really great restaurant!! I will be back.

   Love this place. It's a neighborhood bistro...in my neighborhood. The food is exactly what you expect, but that's not a bad thing.

   Absolutely wonderful as always. This neighborhood gem has become our go-to restaurant before heading to the Washington Cathedral for every event. The food is delicious, the service is impeccable, and the staff is amazingly gracious. We can not wait to return.

   very hospitable entry even though I was early for my reservation. Service was a bit sporadic. The food was very good. The big problem was a large party that was extremely noisy, it was there when I arrived and it was there when I left. It was very difficult to hear my dinner companions discussion of anything as the diners at this large group proceeded to shout over each other to be heard. It’s difficult for a restaurant once a group like that is in but a restaurant should surely realize when a large group is too loud. It was clearly affecting other diners too.

   My friend and I had a lovely lunch. The cauliflower soup as an appetizer and the scallops with salad as an entree were simple delicious. The presentation and attentive service enhanced the dining experience.

   We love this place. Each of us got fish and/or seafood dishes on this visit. All of the main dishes were great. The bottoms of the caneles were burnt and we only got two, each. I swear it was three the last time I ordered the caneles. It was the first time that's ever happened. Had to dock a star for that, and from the service. They were noticeably overdone and never should have made it to the table that way. Tasted them, and sure enough, the bottoms tasted burnt. We've been to this restaurant literally a dozen times and that's basically the only gripe I've ever had. First World Problems, I know. I'll still order the caneles next time. If they're burnt again, though, I'm sending them back.

   Small touches make a big difference. Warm crusty bread. Complimentary dessert for a birthday. Exquisite service and delicious food.

    We’ve been customers at laPiquette how from the beginning. . It has always been a memorable experience, but this dinner was extraordinary. Everything was top-notch, especially the service. We will definitely be back again and again and again.
