One again, a fantastic dinner experience at La Bise. The food and service were excellent. Every menu item we ordered was just perfect and so very tasty. The staff, and the high level of professionalism which they always show, is just top notch and made the meal all that more enjoyable. La Bise really does offer one of the best dining experiences in D.C.

Our 2nd visit and loved it. So hard to fund a restaurant where you can talk comfortably. Clients behave themselves. Food was great. Service impeccable.

Loup de Mer was exceptional and the accompanying salad’s dressing with a hint of anchovy delicious. My favorite was the apple tart in shape of an apple. Perfect portion and the caramel was divine.
