    We just came to town for two days from New York City. & a friend in the DC food community recognized you so we made a reservation. We sat outdoors on the beautiful spring night, we had an excellent waiter who gave us very professional & friendly service. We loved our food. It was authentically French, & it was delicious.

    A special neighborhood bistro. Attentive service, lots of menu options, good for special meals as well as something ‘usual’.

    We dine at La Piquette regularly, but one of our most favorite dining experiences is the Easter luncheon after church, which is a pre fixe menu. They do a perfect job of assembling some of their more popular a-la-carte items, as well as classic French dishes and some surprises. As one might imagine, we return for the excellent service, drinks, wine list, and cuisine. It’s always delightful.

    We had such a nice meal. The restaurant was particularly busy on this Friday lunch and everyone did their best to take care of us.

    Although we were in one of the "outdoor" rooms, which we like, there were enough people to make conversation very loud. Would still prefer this to the much louder interior tables.

    Wonderful friendly and efficient service. The food was magnificent. Excellent bistro dining. The duck confit was perfection: meltingly tender meat and exquisitely crisp skin.

    All our meals were super-halibut, trout & coq au vin. It’s always noisy but worth it to have an amazing meal!
