LE DIPLOMATE REVIEWS
Amazing place! The food is so delicious, the wait time is short! I always eat different fish over there, those are always wonderful! The dessert presentations are so fancy! I tried onion soup as well, it was good! The waiters are so polite! Always crowded but very organized place! Love it!
Excellent food, service, and romantic atmosphere at surprisingly affordable rates. Our waiter was highly attentive and helpful. Their bread is great. We dipped our bread in the French onion soup we ordered and they paired very well together. The steak frittes is tasty, but do be warned that the steak has very little fat in it since I believe it’s hanger steak so don’t expect fatty flavor.
The meal was incredible. I recommend going with friends and sharing everything. The service was also impeccable. You can tell that all ingredients at this restaurant are fresh and of excellent quality. It’s rare to find such an approachable restaurant of this league. I would recommend to anyone.

CENTRAL MICHEL RICHARD REVIEWS
This place was absolutely FABULOUS!!!! We are out on the patio, greeted by very friendly staff. They were prompt in getting our drink order and the drinks were great. We ordered a “special” and split it along with the best wedge salad. The special was a seared flat iron steak with the best caper sauce we have had in our lives! Everything was perfect here! Don’t miss this dining spot!
Eating at Central has always been a great experience-plenty of food and drink options, good view, and great service. It’s also moderately priced for being what and where it is.
It’s always a pleasure to dine at Central. The food is perfect with a variety of items and price points. Same for the wine list. The atmosphere is vibrant. Outdoor dining is fun on the right day.

BISTROT DU COIN REVIEWS
My husband’s all time favorite place in DC! So it was the obvious choice to celebrate our anniversary there! My first time and I absolutely loved it! Having lived in Brussels this French bistro reminds me of the bistros in Brussels! Simply loved it! From our starters to the mains!! Highly recommend anyone to visit and enjoy true French cuisine!
I adore French cafes and this one did not disappoint! The vibe is super French. The mussels are fabulous! THE BREAD was AMAZING. Service was top notch and we enjoyed a delightful dinner here. Prices are reasonable. Highly recommend!
Good food, friendly and efficient staff, incredibly quick service. My favorite was the French onion soup. I got the chocolate mousse to go, which was also fantastic. The restaurant was busy, but they are a very well-oiled machine and I still got great customer service. Definitely recommend!
