L'Auberge Chez Francois

Waiter was excellent and food was superb. A perfect evening.

Every time I dine here I wish I could eat here more often. Yes, it's expensive, but it's a great value in my mind because in addition to the food and atmosphere being awesome, the staff makes you feel so special and comfortable. The atmosphere was perfect - cozy fire and easy to have a conversation. I had the beef wellington which was incredible! The multi-course dinner is always too much for me, but it just means I get to enjoy the leftovers later on.

Absolutely fantastic. Amazing food, impeccable service and relaxing atmosphere. As frugal as I am, this place is worth every penny. Don’t wait - pick a special occasion and reserve your table now.

Dinner here is always a wonderful evening with excellent, attentive service and delicious food. They treat us like treasured guests and present every dish in a special way. Everything is cooked to perfection. And everything on the menu is so good that I can’t recommend just 1 thing. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. We always get the soufflé for dessert (all the flavors are excellent but my favorite is Gran Marnier).

Amazing as always. This is a great place for special occasions. Food is terrific and service is perfect.

First time customer. Very good service and great atmosphere. Most of the food was excellent. Very rich food, highly seasoned (salty) on some servings. Bread pudding dessert outstanding. Overall very satisfied and would return again.

Sandra was our waitress and she was amazing! Super friendly and explained everything perfectly. We were celebrating my wife's birthday and she made it very special for her!

"Go to" place for birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions.

Great food. Always a good time. Simon was wonderful and provided excellent service.

From start to finish, the entire experience was outstanding !

My husband and I have been going to this restaurant for over 20 years. This is our go to place for special occasions.

You should add to the above list for reasons to recommend it the following: The foreign ambience. It is like getting away to a French country inn. That feeling starts in the parking lot with the look of the exterior. France! And only minutes from my home.

This is a special occasion restaurant which we adore! Normally we like to sit in a gazebo on the patio. Their garden is beautiful & the fairy lights at night make it magical. But on a cold Autumn night we sat inside. The waiter was exceptional & one of few who can take a superb photo of us! The house Raspberry appertif is delicious with the bread & cottage cheese-chive spread. Complimentary pea soup, pureed carrots were also served. I loved the warm Roquefort & apple tart followed by a house salad, then Duo of tornados w/ seared foie gras. I also enjoyed a half bottle of Cotes du Rhone. Hubby ordered the foie gras served with a glass of late harvest wine. He continued with a roquefort salad, then rack of lamb. A cheese sorbet was good but not as refreshing as the usual fruit ones. We both swooned over our souffles: Grand Marnier with sabayon sauce for me & chocolate with chocolate sauce for him. A plate of cookies & choclate truffles appeared as we awaited our Cappuccino & French press. Looking forward to another sensational feast here soon!

Fabulous food. Great service, beautiful surroundings!

One of our favorite restaurants, good food, they do not rush you, and great service.

Jose was just wonderful! So amazing and professional.

great place for special dinner or special occoation

I have been to L'Auberge Chez Francois numerous times to celebrate special occasions over the past forty years and had never been disappointed. I'll never be able to say that again! First, I had made a reservation on Open Table six weeks prior and confirmed it the previous day. When we arrived the maître d' appeared to not have our reservation. He actually made no verbal comment at all after asking my name the second time and it appeared that he asked a head waiter to just seat us at a table that was available. (Later I did receive the Open Table points). Our waiter Richard was very pleasant and helpful when we ordered our four course meals. The first course he served was the salad. I thought that was odd as I had always received the starter before the salad. After the salad he served the sorbet and said the main courses would be right out. So I asked when we were going to receive the starters. He seemed a bit surprised, but then served the starters and another sorbet prior to bringing the main course, which looked as if it had been waiting under a heat lamp while we ate our starters. Three of the four guests at our table are food service professionals. This was just not the exquisite treat I was expecting, especially for the one person who was visiting L'Auberge Chez Francois for the first time.

It was wonderful as always!

Incredibly wonderful ambiance, food and service. Perfectly paced delivery of each course (but be prepared to spend at least two hours at the table). Creative and flexible, especially with the desserts.

Pleasantly surprised for first visit at the warmth of the facility and the staff. Made me feel like they did not want me to leave. Thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and the live music. Terrific apple-rhum baba.

My husband and I had a wonderful romantic anniversary dinner together. The beautifully decorated dining room added to the ambiance. The service was excellent, and the food delicious. We will certainly return soon.

Service is impeccable; food is outstanding. This is s favorite of ours for very special occasions.

As always the overall experience was great. My companion was there for the first time and was impressed.

Amazing service and great food. Would come every day if we could.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the DC area. It never disappoints.

We've dined here many times, and the food and service is outstanding. There are several rooms to the restaurant, and this last time we were seated in one of the back rooms with a high ceiling and terrible acoustics. It made dinner conversation for our party of 4 difficult, especially for my 92-year-old aunt, who is hard of hearing and wears hearing aids. Ask for a quieter room in your reservation if you're looking for a better acoustic experience.

We enjoyed very much our Sunday lunch, the food was excellent.

Arthur was attentive to food allergies and pleasant throughout. Each course was fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere is relaxed and charming with an elegant flair. Our first time but definitely looking forward to our next dining experience here.

This is by far my husband and my favorite restaurant. We have been coming here since before it was
in Great Falls and celebrate many birthday/anniversaries here. When it came time to plan my mother-in-law's 100th birthday and our cousin's 95th birthday, we celebrated both here and they both were momentous occasions. And when we and our best friends were planning a 50th wedding anniversary meal, we came here and had a wonderful, almost 4-hour lunch on the patio.
Everything is wonderful at Chez Francois, from the ambience, to the exquisite food and drink! We look forward to celebrating many more occasions here.

Amazing as always! Will continue to come back.

Never fails for a special dinner out. Jacques maintains a very high standard for food and service. A real tradition in this area.

Always outstanding experience. The food was fabulous as was the service.

Something for everyone, beautifully prepared and presented, well-timed service. The is nothing out of date, everything is timeless.

This was the best food I’ve ever had. I felt like I was back in France. I highly recommend this place 10/10

Excellent food. Perfect service.

As always, the food was excellent, the service excellent! This is truly a wonderful place and the food is superb. We also like the face that so many of the selections are gluten free as well as the delicious bread!! We have celiac disease and really good restaurants that know how to do gluten free without cross contamination are rare. This is the very best!!!

L'Auberge Chez Francois is a wonderful restaurant for any special occasion - anniversary, birthday, or just a business meal or a night on othe town. The menu is very creative, the wine list is very large, the service is attentive without being too intrusive, and the ambiance is wonderful. We truly appreciate our special occasions at L'Auberge Chez Francois.

The food was absolutely amazing. We got the set menu, which had plenty of options. Very nice drink menu as well with a lot of European beers that are uncommon in the US. 10/10

Food was amazing and the service was outstanding!
