Best French Restaurants in Clinton

First time — Burgers/frites were very good. Salad Verte had the best flavors. French onion soup — excellent. Service was even better. Will return.

It’s a nice tea service to go on a date. My wife wanted to go for her birthday and we had a great time. The tea was really good you can have as much as you want so pace yourself. The full tea service was good we had good sandwiches and pastry and dessert selections. I liked the location near the Potomac river. The service was excellent too we had a really good time.

Few places exceed expectations set for a newer restaurant but this was my experience on my first dinner at La Grande Boucherie. Filled to capacity for Thanksgiving, the service didn't suffer, the wine list well matched to the menu, and the food was perfectly prepared. The steak melts in your mouth, the French onion soup better than Paris, and oysters fresh, plump, and perfectly chilled. Outstanding. But nothing prepares you for the breathtaking ambiance! The sweeping staircase, magnificent Beaux Arts interior- you might think you're in Paris!

Josephine's is becoming one of our favorite spots in Old Town Alexandria. Great service. We usually sit at the bar and the bartenders are the best. The restaurant itself is gorgeous with plenty of quiet spots for conversation. Food is great. The menu is small, which means the food will be better quality. We went for Thanksgiving and could get the traditional meal or go with our favorites.

The waiters need to be a little less hovering and doing multiple checks. Check once, then just observe. But they were all friendly and courteous.
