Restaurants near Courtyard by Marriott Washington Embassy Row

We stayed at the Mayflower and quickly found Le de sales right across the street. We ate there four nights in Row and were sorry to leave it. We both had the same dish, Bavette, a simple London broil with some water cress on the plate. This dish was so well cooked and satisfying we never tried anything else. It comes with a tiny pitcher of sauce. That’s it. We did have a few other things, a wonderful French onion soup, a very good smoked salmon sushi, some onion rings in a delicious tartare sauce. Garlic spinach. One dessert a bread pudding with orange marmalade. Sublime. It’s noisy when you come on but you adjust. The service was perfection. Fast, smooth, quiet, attentive. It’s a busy place with a very active bar. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the food and the experience. I saw a great looking $20 cheeseburger with fries but I had to have the bavette. We were always glad we were there. My husband reminds me that our first night there he had the salmon and loved it.

Very nice experience overall. Highly recommend.

Great food and service in charming surroundings. Good value.

Three beautiful rooms, the outside patio is especially lovely. We got the full dinner, and everything was delicious. I enjoyed trying all the mezzo… it was a lot of food though! Next time I’ll order ala cart for sure. There were a few off-menu surprise morsels as well. A fantastic experience!!!

What a wonderful treat! Calm, relaxing, great service from the entire staff. A nice break from work. Thank you.
