In the past, Brasserie Beck was a must-do dining event when we traveled to DC. Our meal this week was a great disappointment. It started out spectacularly with the foie gras appetizer, but went downhill from there. The moules frites with curry sauce were served in a flat cast iron skillet (WHY?) and quickly got cold. The rice noodles in the sauce didn't make sense with the dish. The sauce was tasty, but the cook on the mussels was inconsistent - some were well-cooked, others overcooked. The duck entree was terrible. One slice of duck breast was cooked well, the other was raw. The skin was flabby and the fat hadn't been rendered from it. It came out cold and the entire dish was uninspiring and dry (no sauce, dry slices of purple sweet potato topped with grilled onion slices). The kale chips were the best part of the dish - although the powdered stuff (?) on them had no taste. We will not visit Brasserie Beck again!

Good menu and drink list. We ordered mussels and steak frites for our entrees, which were great, though the foie gras appetizer left a little to be desired. Good food, but maybe a little overpriced.

Food quality very good, mussels great, sides excellent, nice wine list and good beers. Value not bad. Menu selection rather limited but that seems to be the trend. Service a bit overbearing, seemed like whenever our server got bored (which was every few minutes) he would approach the table whether we needed help or not

Nice moules au vin blanc and only wish the foie gras brulee had been more foie gras and less cream. Very nice ambiance. Great service.
