    Another enjoyable meal in quiet, natural, and beautiful surroundings. We always enjoy the outstanding service we receive throughout the meal and the staff's helpfulness and attention to detail over the past 40 years. We also enjoy the relaxed pace of the meal and being able to enjoy everything to the last bite.

    Another enjoyable and delicious meal at L'Auberge Chez Francois. Staff friendly, service professional and courses executed seamlessly. Multiple course and food selections. Portions more than satisfying and mouth-watering. We always love visiting this romantic and pretty restaurant whether for a holiday celebration, family milestone or just a little getaway dinner - a favorite destination for close to 40 years with our first visit on Valentine's Day, 1986.

    The charm of this restaurant and its location in Great Falls can not be stressed enough. This is a fine dining establishment - no question about it. You are going to have the best of everything though. The best wait staff, the best hospitality, and the best food. L'Auberge has been at the top of the restaurant game for awhile in the NoVa area, and we had not been here to dine since before Covid. Easter brunch had outdoor seating and it was a lovely day! The service and food was on par. The beef in the Chateaubriand was requested at Med Rare for temperature, and was perfectly cooked. The chive crepe appetizer with a mince of mushrooms and herbs and topped with a truffle sauce was like buttah! All dishes were absolutely delicious. The portions are generous as well. The one thing to note for older, senior diners is if you dine upstairs in the main areas of the restaurant, there are 2 sets of stairs to descend where the bathrooms are located. However, there is a one-stall bathroom available on the main level for those unable to handle any stairs. The entrance to the parking lot is tight, so have patience there as well. It's one way in/out and some older diners are dropped off by the front doors so they don't have to walk on a gravel surface. This tends to block other cars from exiting/entering the lot so allow for a little extra time prior to any reservation for parking. We can't wait to return to L'Auberge for a lovely, future fine dining experience: c'est magnifique!

    The best experience ever. The food, ambience, service was impeccable. I don’t think any restaurant in this area can compete with this type of quality in all areas. Never once did I need to summon someone for anything that was needed. They anticipate your needs. Will definitely continue to return to this fine dining restaurant.
