Have been back here several times and still think it is one of the best spots in DC. Food is authentic bistro fare and while the room isn't authentic you can trust the kitchen. Great bar as well.

The decor is dark and funky, more like a lounge than a restaurant but the food, delivered in reasonable portions best to be shared, was excellent. The truffle pasta you will not want to share! Service gets hung up a bit with a busy and lively crowd, and perhaps a little "I work in a cool place, so I'm cool" attitude.

We joined for lunch on a cold NY Saturday and it was perfect. Excellent duck confit and a glass of Cotes du Rhone hit the spot, like being a Paris. Attentive service (it wasn't very crowded) and all was good with the world.

Hard to describe what they have going on here, but it is all good. Unique treatments of food (yes, goat and other oddities) in small portions so sharing is encouraged. Order the wackier items and you may get to eat more yourself! Top notch service and atmosphere as well.
