Lutèce - Washington

This place is overrated!They charge you 25 bucks per person to reserve a table and promise to refund you once you show up! I showed up and they did tell me your refund is being processed! 4 days after saying that to me no refund I have received.Menu also is so limited and you have the rule of 2 hours only and you have to leave the place or you risk being kicked out!I was celebrating my friend’s birthday and made a special request during the reservation to get specific cake! Unfortunately they didn’t call to say they can’t do it, and I had to know that while being there with my friend.So disappointed!

Had SUCH a great meal here. We came for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed everything.We started with the Golden Ossetra Caviar (Pomme Paillasson) Dry Aged Steak Tartare. Both were so delicious. I would’ve ordered 5 more of each!!The Chicken Liver Mousse was perfect for those who enjoy a sweet and salty kind of craving. I was impressed by the mousse, it was like a hazelnut fois gras kind of vibe. Definitely a unique take!For entrees we got the Parisian Gnocci Pork Milanese. I thought the gnocci had the perfect texture and was packed with flavor. The pork was also very tasty. The yuzu koshō was a nice touch. The crisp cook also made it extremely enjoyable in my opinion.The dessert was amazing too. I’m a sweets girl and was truly blown away. Can’t wait to come back.Honestly a 10/10 experience from the staff, food, vibe. I need this place to have a NYC location or do a pop up soon!!!

I went alone to try the tasting menu, sitting at the bar. The staff was very friendly, and they have a good wine selection. Everything was so good especially, the duck breast, pickled mussels, focaccia, gnocchi and the Comte Strata.

Beautiful atmosphere, wonderful and friendly service. Food definitely keeps me coming back to eat more of the regular menu. Chef's tasting was a wonderful option. Some of the best food and wine selections in D.C. including NA options.

Great anniversary experience here. Enjoyed the Chef tasting menu and really liked the special occasion candle and desserts! Will recommend to friends as the go to place for French restaurant.
