- AAlanVIPWashington, D.C. Area •9 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe recently dined at La Piquette and had a great experience. Our party of four was celebrating an anniversary and a birthday, and the afternoon couldn't have been more perfect. From the moment we walked in, the cozy, intimate setting created the ideal atmosphere for our special celebrations. We skipped the appetizers and ordered our entrees, which included Prime Beef Steak and Frites, Lobster Risotto, Halibut, and Sautéed Fresh NC Shrimp. Each dish was a perfect blend of flavors and textures, beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. It was evident that the chefs put a lot of passion and creativity into their culinary creations. The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, ensuring every detail of our dining experience was right. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable, adding a personal touch to our celebrations. And don’t overlook their desserts! They were the perfect ending to a perfect meal. The sweet treats were as delightful and creative as the main courses, leaving us thoroughly impressed and satisfied. Overall, La Piquette exceeded our expectations in every way. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. The only thing that would make me hesitant to return again would be the 2+ hour ride up I95. No, on second thought, not even that would keep us from being repeat customers.More infoLa PiquettePrice: Expensive• French• Cleveland Park•4.8

- LLawrenceVirginia •2 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoJulii is a real gem! The interior is wonderful with much natural lighting. The music was mostly jazz and very relaxing. Not too loud. I started with the Alsacian tartine. The portion was generous and the cheese and fruit (apple?) went well together. Delicious. For my entree, I ordered the lamb tajine and it was delicious with many layers of flavor: apricots, couscous, pine nuts, goat cheese, succulent lamb. The portion was generous and I had to bring some of it home. Our server, Grace, was wonderful. She checked on us at least a couple of times. Service was fast and courteous. I’ll be back to try more of the items on the menu! Overall, my experience was very positive.More infoJuliiPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• North Bethesda•4.8
