    This has been one of my most amazing experiences I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The saying is you get what you pay for, here you get even more. This is an experience that everyone should try, from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out. Everyone makes you feel at home and treats you with respect and importance.

    Attention to detail and food was very good. Service is excellent however the place is a little bit noisy and the ambience is more country club than fine French restaurant.

    An excellent place to celebrate a special occasion or treat yourself just because. Service is impeccable and atmosphere is delightful. Food is excellent and worth every penny. Desserts are a hit. Been going for more than 40 years and it never disappoints.

    We've been dining at L'Auberge Chez Fracois for literally decades! It's a little too pricey (for us) to dine there weekly but for special occasions the food, service, and ambience is simply the best!

    I've enjoyed L'Auberge Chez Francois over the years, but this this evening was exceptional. The Maitre d' kindly showed us to the table and after being seated, asked if there was anything special he could do. We just needed to depart for WolfTrap at a certin time. He said no problem, and the next moment our server, Neiha, arrived. Neiha was very kind and attentive to our menu questions and drink requests. After an amazing dinner, we both had raspberry Soufflés and they were absolutely delicious. Many thanks for the wonderful start to our evening!

    It had been 20+ since my last visit to L’Auberge Chez Francois and that was my all time favorite meal, which set the bar very high. Everything we ordered was amazing. It was as good as I remembered.
