French Hound Brasserie - Leesburg

We loved the spirit and enthusiasm by Andrea, our server. Also, our seating on the sun porch was great, allowing us to soak in some nice rays on a warm and sunny pre-Spring Sunday. Food was fine....a good value.

Charming place with both excellent food and service and the rare capacity to be quiet enough to hear yourself talk. Ate here on a busy Saturday night but it didn't sound that way. The waitress overheard our party of six talking about a birthday and brought out dessert with a celebration candle. Would definitely return.

This is another restaurant with Americanized French food. I left with a full belly, but didn 't feel that I had a French meal. I took the mousse truffée, because it mentioned foie gras. By definition, foie gras has some consistency. I didn 't taste it at all, in the mousse. That, by itself, was quite disappointing. Again, the food was overall good, and the service was excellent. Unlike other French restaurants though, I didn 't feel like I was back in France. Around the corner is a more modest, but much more French restaurant, Julien 's. If what you are looking for an authentic French restaurant with a much better price/quality ratio, it 's the place to go to.

We have dined in Middleburg many times and I am kicking myself that this was our first time at the French Hound. I was put off by the fact that they didnt have a website but I am glad I took the chance. Its a charming place, tucked back off the main street in a historic home. I had the escargo which were cooked perfectly and the steak frites. Both were delicious and great paired with the very reasonable french wines they had by the bottle. We will definitely be back!

The management need to review the requirements for staging brunch and make changes to deliver a seamless and complete experience. Though in the overall, the food was good, issues such as not having sufficient tea pots, no toaster for toast etc took the rating down. As well, service was pleasant but a bit accidental in the execution as drink order delays, failure to ask if cream was desired with tea, promised bread not delivered etc detracted from the experience.
