    In searching for a French restaurant that served lobster bisque, they are the only one that has it on the menu. I wasn’t disappointed. The food was excellent. We will be visiting there again soon.

    They were very accommodating about moving out foursome to a quiet corner where we could actually enjoy talking in a normal tone That made the experience much more enjoyable

    Outstanding French cuisine at a price commensurate with the quality and portion size of the food. Our reservation allowed us to be seated immediately, the service was superb (we have a favorite waiter), the meal was unhurried and delightful. This is a first class restaurant. Do not expect to be rushed while dining nor for the cost of excellence to be cheap. A great place for a special evening.

    Our lamb was not very well seasoned and our scallops were sandy. They were awesome in switching the food to another plate/order very swiftly. This was wonderful because we all got to finish eating about the same time. Also she did not stay hungry for too long looking at us eat while waiting for her food to come.

    If we could give more stars we would! From start to finish it was a great experience. The entire staff is wonderful and the food was delicious. I had the filet and my wife had the filet & lobster tail. Portions were huge, but we couldn’t stop eating it was just that good! Best meal we’ve had in years. Also, big thank you to the staff for noticing it was a birthday. They came out with a dessert which was going above and beyond. We will be back!

    WOW!!! Magnificent dinner!!! My family and I went to this beautiful French restaurant to celebrate our brothers graduation at Quantico. We cannot say enough wonderful things about the restaurant. The service was impeccable and the food was outstanding. We had the best lobster bisque anywhere!! The lobster bisque was poured tableside..so the soup was hot and delicious.. The owner Youssef is amazing and thoughtful! We would recommend anybody anywhere to travel to this fabulous place. Can’t wait to go back and actually did the next day!!
