What People Are Saying
from Google"Everything about this restaurant was amazing and worth the reservation. That great customer service, the atmosphere is beautiful along with the lighting. I did the onion soup, which was amazing, the radish salad was better than the fig salad, my steak was outstanding, I got the Demi sauce on the side, which worked out perfectly, my spinach was delicious, and also ordered crème brûlée. Definitely say yes to the bread that is freshly cut per table at the beginning of your meal, it was phenomenal. My friend got scallops and he said they were amazing."
"I went there for solo dining. Atmosphere is really good and lots of Christmas decor. There are a lot of option for food and drinks. But the service was slow and my server did not pay attention to me. I asked many times bread and butter. Also, he brought my wine when the food ends. Overall was good. I have ordered steak tartare, steak frites and crème brule. Presentation are fabolous. Steak frites was awesome and huge. But I am gonna say the same thing for crème brule. It was average, I have eaten better ones in DC area."
"We celebrated my birthday at Le Diplomate this past Saturday night and it was absolutely phenomenal. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was perfect for a special night out. The food and beverages were exceptional with a highlight on super fresh oysters and my favorite cocktail- Romarin. Our server was incredibly attentive, making sure our glasses were never empty and explaining food to details. But highlight of our night was the restaurant manager Hadia. She truly elevated the whole experience from the very first moment. As soon as we arrived she greeted us with celebratory drink and through the night she made sure that everything was just perfect for my birthday. Hadia's personal touch and dedication to creating a welcoming space made our meal unforgettable. The next day my guests couldn't speak highly enough about the whole experience. Le Diplomate and Hadia many thanks for a perfect birthday!!"
"Great experience, great service. The escargot was the best I have had. I really liked the taste of the Beef Bourguignon and the Duck L'orange, but my favorite part of both was the texture of the meat, cooked perfectly! Didn't really care for the foie gras although I couldn't pinpoint why, normally a fan of it. Bread was just okay but cannot complain since it was complimentary. Overall, one of the best French restaurants I have been to."
"The whole experience was stellar. Pablo was our server, and it was truly the best service we’ve had in Washington. He was knowledgeable about the menu, offered fantastic recommendations, and made our dining experience feel really special. He was attentive and quick to take care of anything we needed. We ordered the steak frites, onion soup, and steak tartare, and every dish was absolutely delicious. I would definitely come back here the next time I’m in Washington."
