   Great French restaurant. Our server was outstanding. As good as it gets when it comes to French standard cuisine. Our beef bourguignon was fantastic. Will definitely go back.

   We thought the Moules fries was an appetizer size and we were expecting more Moules. Also a few did not open. The mushroom tarte was not too our taste. A little dry and hard. The mushroom topping was delicious

    The food and service was excellent. My only complaint is that I made reservations a month in advance requesting a great table to celebrate my daughter’s 25th birthday. Unfortunately they sat us at probably one of the worst tables in the restaurant! As I was looking around I could see that they had some wonderful tables that they could have reserved for us but I guess that was not a priority for them.

    We went to Le Dip to celebrate my birthday and service and food was fantastic. We ordered a bottle of wine, the Steak Frites, and the Lobster Risotto (Tuesday’s Special). Food was phenomenal, our waiter was super knowledgeable and constantly ensuring we had everything we needed. Could not recommend more! A true DC staple.

    Le Diplomate never disappoints! We were celebrating our 47th anniversary. We shared the warm shrimp salad. My husband had the Tuesday special - lobster risotto which was fantastic and I had my usual trout amandine - which I absolutely love - (I guess one day I will get something different :). It was a beautiful evening to dine outside and the service was great. Le Diplomate is our prelude to next year's anniversary when we will actually spend two months in Paris.

    Le Diplomate is one of my favorite restaurants, but lunch on Tuesday, June 21 was a bit of a disappointment. The shrimp salad, one of the best things on the menu, wasn't quite up to the usual high standards. The shrimp was tough and not as flavorful. Also, sitting in the covered space off of Q Street was unusually noisy with many stopped delivery and garbage trucks that kept their engines running for an unnecessarily long period of time. Is there anything that can be done about that? It's really becoming a huge problem in the afternoons during the week.

    Le Diplomate never disappoints. Food and service were amazing as usual - we came to celebrate our engagement and were treated with a complimentary dessert, which was so nice and delicious! Not something we at all expected! Always love this restaurant and will continue to come again frequently.

    We were stranded in DC from a canceled flight. After looking for recommended places to eat on Trip Advisor, Le Diplomate was highly recommended, and they were so right! Outstanding service from the moment we were seated. The bread and butter was delicious. The food choices on this Sunday were excellent. The desserts are fantastic! Our wait staff was amazing! Overall incredible dining experience!! I can’t recommend enough!!

    As someone who does his best to enjoy the restaurant monthly, hard to believe but this occasion was a bit disappointing. Service was good and bread, crusty and fresh. The warm shrimp salad which is usually perfectly dressed lacked that goodness which makes it standout. Decided to try the Croque Madame for the first time. Sorry but nothing special to say. Brioche, skimpy portion of ham, not noteworthy bechamel and an under cooked sunny side egg. The sandwich was good but not to the level of expectations associated with Le Dip. See you in July

    Very loud, average food, and average service. I’m not sure why everyone says this place is so amazing because this was not our experience at all. Food is extremely average and overpriced for what you get

    Our server was excellent! My out-of-town guest really enjoyed his first experience at Le Diplomate. :) My only suggestion to the restaurant is to treat the outside area/seating so the pesky mosquitoes don't bite? It's the main thing that has made my recent visits to Le Diplomate less than 5-stars all around. The mosquitoes love me, and it's no fun being uncomfortable the entire time over dinner with friends!

    Everyone in my party enjoyed Le Diplomate. The service was exceptional. The food was tasty. The only negative was the noise level, which made it difficult to hear. The restaurant is popular and even at 9 p.m. on a weeknight, the restaurant was full.
