   First time eating at Le Diplomate for dinner. I would say that the entrees were okay (trout and steak frites). The trout was nice but bland. The fries were great but the steak was not great quality. Going forward, we will come back just for brunch because we found the food better. The service was great as usual. We really enjoyed eating outside in the individual cubicles. Inside is just too noisy for our son who is autistic. We did really enjoy the french onion soup and the cheese plate. Overall, it is a great restaurant.

   Entry is a little tough- no where to stand comfortably and not be in the way on a busy night! Seating came quickly, however, and Hostess was lovely and helped us switch table from atrium/greenhouse area to main dining room. It was a special occasion but it did not appear that Le Dip knew that, despite me entering it on my reservation. Great food and waiter did an excellent job of serving us well and attentively, but not rushing us.

   Anastasia was unforgettable at the bar and so was the steak au poivre. Loved our experience here.

   Great time and meal as always. A DC staple for a reason! We have enjoyed coming over the years but loved bringing our foodie two-year-old for the first time. (He loved it!) Everyone enjoyed their food, the service was excellent and ambience very nice: feels special, yet at the same time informal and comfortable. The people are always welcoming. Thanks Le Diplomate!

    Upon arrival, though very busy, we were seated very shortly. Our server came by and offered to do a run down of the menu or look then talk. We asked about the cheeses, he said their goal was to have us try cheese that was as close as possible to what we like in cheese. I can say 2 of the 3 cheeses were good, the third was their brie alternative but I was not a fan of it at all, too salty in my opinion. The table bread was very hard, I felt that maybe it was not as fresh as it could’ve been. We got macaroni gratin, it was very delicious. Then for entrées we went with steak frites and duck confit. The duck was well seasoned. We thought the NY strip was too salty on the outside and the fries were pretty average, also the piece of steak was pretty small but it was cooked as asked MR. Overall the experience was good, our server was helpful and answered every question. The restaurant is very loud, so this is not the place for people who are not used to a social environment but we liked it.

    Lovely setting outdoors. Wait-staff went above and beyond in pouring rain. Quality of the food was less than expected- the duck was over cooked and salty. Wine list skewed towards mid & higher prices for a neighborhood bistro.

    Overall great experience. Our one complaint was the noise level. The music could be half as loud, reducing overall noise. The gourgeres were delightful and the escargot made me roll my eyes with appreciation. My steak frites was cooked perfectly and my partner loved the flavors of the boeuf bourguignon.

    Wonderful meal. Two had the lobster frites and one had the steak frites. Both prepared to perfection. Price may seem high for the lobster but it was a huge serving and so delicious. Worth every penny.

    The hostesses are snotty and unhelpful. The one with the red hair is particularly rude. A couple of them are ok. The four of them just stare at you like they don’t know what their job is- They saw me standing there and continued to fumble around in the computer. It was 3pm in a Thursday and the restaurant was half empty. I thought about leaving. The black waiter with the curly hair is very good but other than him, the service has been pretty horrible.
