Le Diplomate Washington Reviews
My new all/time favorite Mushroom soup.
Bread and salted butter are divine. Waiter claimed the Brunch menu burger is best in DC. He just may be right,
I know people rave about this place.
I thought it was good, but not someplace that I'd rush back to. My friend and I had dinner on the late side one night. She enjoyed her trout amandine. I had three appetizers: the mushroom tart, the macaroni gratin, and the foie gras parfait
This is the third bad experience I have had at Le Diplomat.
This time I asked to be seated in the garden as it was a beautiful day. I was denied and shuffled into the patio which had most of the curtains down. The bright sun was blazing in which was pleasant but they had the heaters on. It was in the 60'

A true DC staple! The seafood tower is incredible and the burger is one of the best in the city. The atmosphere is cute, quaint, and full of charm -- perfect for a date night or catching up with friends. Always a great experience.
Phenomenal experience! Great food and even better service.
Would 10/10 recommend for a fun DC dinner spot. Can't go wrong especially if you listen to the waiter's recs.

Lovely restaurant
The best steak & frites! We had booked however service was a little slow. The amazing bread kept us going until we were served.
Our Anniversary!!
We go to Le Dip every month or so since our first date there 12 years ago. We were there tonight for our anniversary and were reminded (again) that this is the greatest restaurant in Washington and probably in the universe. Restaurant Manager Austin

Food was incredible and the service was equally impressive.
Bravo to our waiter Nabil. He was helpful, clearly loves his job. He made food recommendations that we are so glad we followed. We will dream about the Beef Bourguignon!
The food is "okay".
It's not bad but nothing where I would highly recommend it to anyone. It's very tight in there as well so don't expect a lot of leg or arm room. The customer service can very much improve. Our waiter was not the best, very hyper focuse
My experience at Le Diplomate was exceptional.
First we just HAD to marvel at the ambiance. then we ordered drinks, and they came so quick, and our server, Emil, was so nice. then they brought the bread basket that we watched them cut fresh, and little caviar goat cheese cream puffs. For appetize

Delicious and great service!! Love the French food and ambiance of this restaurant. If you have a pet they will let you sit outside in the covered area which is super cute.

"Service by Rudy" was on point.
Food and vibe was classic French brassiere! This restaurant is timeless and never disappoints!
Another great visit this iconic DC restaurant.
Everything about LeDip is spot on, from the bread to the drinks to the main entree; it's always a winner.

Lovely Saturday morning brunch while in town visiting a friend. Made a reservation for 11:30 although it didn't seem too packed. Lots of cute seating both inside and outside. We went with a table inside but had a big open window which was cute

I really try not to leave bad reviews at all, but my experience was appalling, and their "sommelier" should never be in charge of a wine program. Long story short. Ordered a 2018 Volnay Grand Cru. They bring me a 2016 "Grand Vin&qu

Definitely make a reservation if you can, as this place does get filled up. Steak frites was fantastic. Mushroom tart was not as good as other reviews hyped it to be. Decor and vibe of the restaurant was excellent. Definitely check this place out
I had a dreamy Parisian escape at Le Diplomate.
After getting off the train from Richmond, I needed some lunch. Since I still had some time before hotel check-in, I decided to go to Le Diplomate. I had been hearing such wonderful things about this place, I had been dying to try it for myself. I ar

Revisit to one of our favorite restaurants
You can never go wrong dining here. It can be challenging to get a reservation at times. We always recommend and look forward to returning.
Unimpressed, Disappointed
Unimpressed, disappointed it didn't live up to the atmosphere and expectations. The Macaroni was really good, the steak was terrible.
Le Dip - out oui
We had a super meal here, great bar and cocktails and sitting outside on a balmy DC evening was great. Le Dip was as busy as I remember and staff friendly day as ever. Great evening and worth a visit.
St. Germain des Pres in D.C.
I just cannot get enough of this place. It is our go-to whenever we are in D.C. The service is friendly and helpful, the menu is classic and well executed and the ambiance is as comfortable-French as one can find on this side of the Atlantic. I had m

This is a good French restaurant that caters to the dash and run crowd, with quick service and turnarounds. We ordered gougeres which were some of the best we’ve had outside of Bourgogne, followed by a duck preparation and profiteroles. All dishe

Charming atmosphere. Waitstaff was friendly and helpful. Everything we ate was delicious. We will definitely be returning.

Great dinner.
I will go back and I reserve the right to upgrade to 5 star. I had been here a while ago and remember the service being a little "French". Which is to say, I felt like a necessary evil of the waiter's day. This time everyone we came in co
Consistently good French food.
Prob the best quiche I've ever had. Baguette is fresh and very good as were my oysters and duck.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Le Diplomate Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Le Diplomate Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Le Diplomate Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Le Diplomate Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
