    We had a great lunch at District Bistro. The server was excellent - charming and attentive but not overbearing. We loved the beignets and the menu offered many good options for all. My shrimp and grits were delicious and all portion sizes were generous but not ridiculous. Our usual spot in Garrett Park was booked so we tried this. We will definitely come back. Well worth the quick trip to Wheaton for this gem. Also - easy parking across the street and prices were just a little below what we have become accustomed to paying.

    Really wonderful food and service. A modest-looking restaurant that could hold its own with the best restaurants in the DC area. Whatever you pay your chef(s), give them a raise! We were blown away with both the entrees, salad and desserts. Pricey, but we will definitely return for special occasions.

    Went for Valentine's dinner. The food was wonderful, but some of the little things distracted...use of cheap paper napkins rather than cloth (cloth would have complimented the "Bistro" vibe), shared an appetizer and they did not provide small plates for each of us (2), food was delivered but we had no cutlery to eat it with...we had to track down our server to get cutlery. Same thing happened with dessert. Service needs to be worked on, but luckily the food helped us get over that. Love the variety of the menu...so nice to have that in our neighborhood. Will definitely go back on a non-holiday.

    Food was excellent. Was there for Valentine’s Day so was busy and service was a little slow. But excellent value and beautifully prepared dishes. Chocolate bread pudding was fantastic.

    District Bistro was terrific - menu was very good, good wine and excellent service. I ordered the short ribs which were served over polenta. So so good and my friend ordered chicken marsala and she really loved it. Both dishes were presented beautifully. Highly recommend!
