Lovely complimentary birthday chocolate lava cake presented.

Fantastic dining experience. Service was exceptional, they didn’t rush us at all and the food was delicious. If possible, sit outside.

5 star classic old school Italian fine dining restaurant. Nothing is short of excellent. The food, service, management and ambience all 5 stars! As a restaurant owner, myself, It is rare that I am wowed. We do not live in the area but my daughter loves it so much that she’ll plan shopping trips in the greater DC area just so she can go there. They are not a small restaurant but they’re definitely not a large, either. I recommend that you make reservations and you make them way ahead of time. We had an early reservation on a Friday night, 9/13/24. Unfortunately, we were stuck in traffic and delayed for over an hour. I called the restaurant. They were very nice and accommodating and held our reservation despite the fact that they were jampacked. From start to finish all 5 Stars! *The AGM is from Richmond VA. Please see that he sees this review and knows wow appreciative we are.

Just, wow. It’s been a VERY long time since I was blown away by a restaurant. I try a new restaurant whenever I can, and I’m open to many different cuisines. Quality and affordable French cuisine is hard to find in Florida, where I live, so every time I come to DC I make it a point to discover new places. I mostly enjoy what I eat, but Brasserie Liberté is on a whole other level. Where can I start? The decor is beautiful, a mix of trendy boho chic with deconstructed Old World touches. The floor is interesting, even the bathrooms are worth visiting. But what got to me were 2 specific things: the EXCELLENT service by the hosts and the wait staff, and the MAGNIFICENT food. I had the chestnut soup, which I’d never tried before, and it was mind blowing. What an alluring mix of warm, not-too-thick crème with chopped green onions, and a delicate piece of toast and what I believe may have been cream or goat cheese and nuts on top. This is, bar none, the best soup I’ve ever had. I moved on to the steak frites and I selected the culote cut. It was tender and good, accompanied by a simple house salad (mixed spring greens with thinly sliced radish and, unfortunately for me, cucumbers, which I hate with a passion but was able to siphon off to a corner of my plate. There was no lingering taste on the rest of the salad, so I had it. The pommel frites were OK, although I prefer thick steak fries, which were not available. I think thin frites may be the traditional French way. The one thing I didn’t care for was the gravy or sauce on the meat. I prefer my steaks without any sauce or gravy and would have asked for it to be served without the sauce had I read the description more carefully. I paired everything off with a crisp cremant that was dryer than I typically prefer, but very good nonetheless. My server, whose name I unfortunately forgot, is one of those quietly efficient, knowledgeable persons who pays enough attention to the table without hovering over you. Perfection!

Good food, great service with lots of recommendations in a restaurant that is trendy. The options were wide and the sushi delicious. The restaurant could provide more directions to get there but other than this it is great.
