   Classic French Bistro in style & food selections. A bit noisy.

   I brought my fiancé for the first time for his birthday. He had been wanting to try this restaurant since he loves French food. I had the duck confit, but something within the dish tasted very salty. I am not sure if it was maybe the potatoes or the sauce. Additionally, he had the steak with Pom frites, he felt the sauce for the steak was very “oniony” and left a taste that made him queezy. Additionally, the ricotta ravioli almost felt like it was frozen and reheated, it did not feel fresh. While the service was great, the food made me feel embarrassed that he did not have the experience I expected him to have for his first time here.

   Birthday - we ordered the seafood platter for three and the fish was delicious, very fresh. The bread is always wonderful and the cheese platter was also delicious.

   Good onion soup and probably the best Dover sole ever! Nice dessert but the crème l’orange should have more orange slices and orange zest throughout.

   Delicious trout almadine, but very heavy on the butter and almonds, so make sure you like rich food. Service was good, but not exceptional. You can tell they have a shortage of staff.

    We were a party of five for lunch on May 17th. We sat in the covered outside area on Q Street, and for the first 30 minutes a truck was parked running its engine very loudly. It was very disturbing and we could barely hear. Would it be possible for someone on Le Diplomate's staff to tell the driver to at least turn off the engine while parked there? It's happened to us before, but this was by far the worst. It made for a less than pleasant experience.

    This old standby never fails. You can't go wrong with ANYTHING on its menu. Outside dining is great albeit a bit noisy but no matter. Go for the food. And the profiteroles.

    We went for Sunday brunch and it was incredible. Our waitress was so friendly and gave use superb recommendations. The restaurant is beautiful and the crowd was lively but not too loud. The food blew me away, best brunch I have ever had. The cocktails were delicious as well. Would definitely return.

    Le Dip always impresses! Delicious food and great ambiance. I always start with Frutes de Mer and escargot for the table, then share steak frites and the chicken (yes, I said chicken — which comes topped with a delightful jus).

    We were asked if we wanted bottle water to which I replied yes. Didn't know there was a cost. $8 for a large. Just not use to paying for water at restaurants. Also, we were seated outdoors and a lady came and sat at another table holding a dog. I would prefer not to sit at a table that a dog has been drooling over but maybe that's just me. Overall, the food was good. This was our 1st visit and we would return but would not accept outdoors seating again as I assume no dogs allowed inside restaurant.

    Food and service were great. The patio was pretty full but didn’t feel overly crowded and noisy. You must get the crème brûlée when you visit!

    I was lucky enough to get a table this past Friday to celebrate a college graduation. My daughter and her boyfriend kept going on about 'Le Dip'; so they were thrilled beyond belief to go. Service and attention were impeccable; we felt very welcomed.

    Service was (uncommonly) disjointed on this visit: appetizers arrived before drinks from the bar were delivered and then dinners arrived before wine. Not quite up to the standards of LeD. As well, there was a notation in our reservation that was not read--or at least not acknowledged. Hopefully just a hiccup of a visit and not the start of a slipping trend. Will certainly be back in hopes that everything is back up to the usual standard that they've set for themselves. Food and cocktails continue to be exceptional and server was friendly and attentive.
