    It was an absolutely amazing experience. We were running a bit for our reserved time of 8pm, but they were more than accommodating. The atmosphere was cozy, and romantic given it was Valentine's Day. We were quickly seated and even though it was quite busy, we did not have to wait long for our server to hand us the Valentine's Day menu and take our drink order. The food was amazing, considering it was my first time experiencing French style cuisine. The server recommended a delicious wine to pair with the meal. I had the veal chop, and I can tell you it was the most tender, flavorful cut of meat I've had. The bill came out a bit steep, but nothing I wasn't prepared for with it being a fine dining restaurant. I would definitely like to experience their regular menu items and will make it a priority to return when I'm in the area again.

    Our first experience dining at Chez Billy was delightful. It is an intimate restaurant with beautiful decor and attentive staff. The Caesar Salad and Onion Soup started our meal and were delicious ( the Caesar the best I’ve ever had). The Tuna and Duck entrees were perfectly prepared. We ended our dinner with the cheesecake and rice pudding … delish! Billy Sud is a little Georgetown gem.
