- PPatrickWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoIt was our first visit to the restaurant. Colleagues who had gone there all said it is an amazing restaurant. The restaurant is advertised as a "Franco-American cuisine". We had expected a French style restaurant. In fact, the atmosphere is more that of an American café. The tables are basic bare metal tables, with no tablecloths. The noise level was loud but not high enough that it would interfere with conversations. We could hear each other. The prices on the menu were on par with other good restaurants in the area. We did not find the menu particularly French, but it was an interesting menu, with many choices without being overwhelming. The quality of the food was excellent. It was extremely good. A++ In fact, it was one of the best restaurants we have visited in the area. The service was excellent as well. Our waitress was wonderful, very attentive and helpful in addition to being very nice. We were pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. We will definitely revisit the place. I highly recommend it.More infoMaison CherylPrice: Moderate• Contemporary French / American• Arlington•4.6

Even had special wines for the occasion. The service was pleasant and not rushed. We live this place especially for special occasions.More infoLa BisePrice: Expensive• French• Downtown•4.7
- MMarkSan Diego •32 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoFood was amazing from the chaceuterie board and bone in ribeye for two to the crème brûlée. Just incredibly tasty, well presented, and cooked to perfection. Our waiter was amazing, allowed time between courses so we could enjoy the whole experience. Highly recommend as it was one of the best meals we have ever enjoyed.More infoCafe Du ParcPrice: Expensive• Contemporary French• Downtown•4.3
- KKerri CamilleVIPWashington, D.C. Area •3 reviews4.0Dined on Jan 26, 2025Love visiting Lucy Mercer, I always feel welcome when I’m there! The vibes were great but the only problem was the music and the volume. I was told the owner/manager was the DJ and the music selections definitely didn’t fit the vibe of the evening. Also it was incredibly loud and I could barely hear the people I came with which led to everyone in the bar screaming over each other which made the experience a lot less enjoyable than my previous visits. I highly recommend they hire a DJ or have a curated playlist playing at an enjoyable level. Other than that the service was great!More infoMinetta Tavern DC & Lucy MercerPrice: Very Expensive• French American• NoMa•4.9
