We enjoyed every aspect of our dinner at the Willard Cafe Du Parc. The customer service was extraordinary from the hostess to the restaurant staff waiter Martin, the Manager, the Cheff, everyone went well beyond their call of duty to make our experience an excellent one. I am eternally obliged. Every item we ordered from the menu were outstanding. No complaints whatsoever! It was a special occasion for us and the staff made it very very special for us. The hostess even called me in advance to ask where we would like to sit! That is what I call customer service excellence! My hats off to the Willard Management team for holding such unbelievable customer service and care and quality of staff at the highest levels. We will be back again. Thank YOU! Alex

We had such an enjoyable Christmas Eve dinner experience at La Bise. The restaurant decor and ambience was cozy yet artsy. All the staff, from the maitre d to the bartender to our waiter to the support start were friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic and the prix fixe selection was generous. Such a lovely evening! Thank you!

Maison Cheryl is one of our favorite restaurants and we just popped in for an early bite at the bar and it knocked it out of the park as always :-) The winter salad with squash and pecans and goat cheese is my new favorite. Hopefully they put it on the regular menu! And had the truffle burger, which I had a craving for and why we went there. :-) Trowley on an amazing Wagyu burger, nothing more needs to be said. Outstanding! And of course, truffle fries to go with it.. incredible
