Die besten französisch-amerikanische Restaurants in Georgetown

Do not sleep on this place, because apparently I’ve been doing exactly that since it opened. My wife and I came on a recommendation, and it didn’t disappoint in the slightest. We were greeted at the door by Vincent, who we later learned is the chef and owner. The space is beautiful, warm and intimate, with that classic old-school NYC feel (IFYKYK). Our server, Julia, was amazing: friendly, walked us through the menu, helped us course everything out, and then we were off to the races. From start to finish, the food was spectacular. Felt like it was Michelin-level, without the frou-frou stiffness. We started with the yellowfin tuna, seared with hot butter as it was served. I can’t express how delicious this dish was. Next came the scallops over a corn and bacon base, which were insanely good (everything was insanely good). Two for two, both knockout punches. After the scallops, Vincent sent out the white asparagus on the house. I’d never had anything like it. It tasted like a refined carbonara. Incredible. The rigatoni followed, with similar notes to the asparagus but a more traditional pasta base with bacon, and it was equally incredible. Our final course was the branzino, cooked to absolute perfection: crispy skin, and the fish itself soft, fresh, almost pillowy. We finished the night with a frozen cantaloupe sorbet and a tart. Both were fantastic endings to an already incredible meal. Every dish was portioned perfectly for two and set up to share. The drinks were as good as the food. We had the pomegranate gimlet and the pear martini. The best way I can describe it is that scene in Ratatouille where the critic takes one bite, his pupils dilate, and he’s transported back to his childhood. This meal did the same for me and took me somewhere close to culinary heaven. Everything about our night was first class. To Vincent and the entire staff: thank you for an incredible evening, and please don’t change a single thing. You’ve mastered the craft of joyful dining.

Another beautiful experience for our anniversary dinner.

We decided to celebrate our anniversary again last night at Le Chambord! The food was delicious! I ate every drop of my appetizer, entree, and dessert. As always, Antonio our server was so professional, attentive and knowledgeable. I am gluten free and love the fact that every entree on the menu is gluten free. Even the specials were gluten free. Antonio is very knowledgeable about what items on the menu are gluten free. My husband and I got married at Le Chambord in 1999 and it continues to be a huge part of our lives. We are truly grateful to the Curry Sisters for making it such a fabulous place and bringing so much life back to Le Chambord. We will be back soon!
