    Perfect, cozy evening with friends, enjoying great country French cuisine. Service was excellent, professional. The sole and rack of lamb were delicious.

    A consistent stop when we’re in DC, La Chaumiere never fails to please. We dined there two nights in a row since the quality and variety are virtually unmatched in the city. Our waiter Tony was extremely knowledgeable and unfailing gracious as was the entire staff. Watching the choreography of this experienced and expert staff on a busy night brought back memories of how service once was provided in fine restaurants. The food…always excellent. We ate our fill of soufflés and splurged on caviar and champaign in honor of our anniversary. You can’t go wrong with any choice. The prices..very fair for the quality you receive. Thank you for two wonderful nights of memories.

    We were in the DC area to celebrate our anniversary, and we chose LaChaumier for our special dinner. Everything was great, including friendly service, fantastic food, and a very charming and authentic French atmosphere. It was the perfect setting for our special occasion! We will definitely plan on another visit when we are back in town.

    One of the best restaurants in DC that those of us in the know wish others did not know about because we are greedy foodies. What a delightful menu, eclectic wine list, and the service is superb.
