    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!

    Firstly, for a modern bistro the noise level was quite low. This is helped by the absence of music playing in the background. The food was delicious and the service was friendly and efficient. If you are looking for a delicious meal served in a leisurely manner, this is the place.
