Le Diplomate

Awesome dinner with lots of bread and service that will make you feel comfortable.

Sat inside so street noise level was reduced. Food & service was excellent.

As a neighborhood gem, LeDiplomate does not disappoint. The hostess, wait staff and chefs do an amazing job. I am proud to support my local restaurant.

I always love coming to Le Dip. I could not for several months due to Covid, missed you guys!

Birthday lunch

I’ve eaten here a least 25 times and this evening the food wasn’t great.

Service and wine were excellent. Meals and drinks were mixed.

My girlfriend and I enjoyed a fine dining experience on our date. We were seated outside and the weather was perfect. Our waiter was enthusiastic and entertaining which made for a great date environment. Our steaks were perfectly cooked and delicious. Would definitely eat there again and recommend Le Diplomate to anyone in the DC area.

I am used to Parks in Philadelphia, although the menu is almost the same execution is not. The macaroni with cheese dish is not good, burgers with french fries OK, salmon is good but not for the price. Attitude at the door could be improved. Example, we came over without reservation quarter to 5 PM, with practically every table empty. They asked us to wait till 5 PM and put our names into list. We had a 4 year old with us. Le Diplomate never fills these seats that early anyway, as we live a block away.

It is almost like a fast food restaurant with expensive wine served along with other mediocrity. Will not return.

Love the weekday afternoon lunch atmosphere. Relaxed and spacious and a great meal and service. Always craving a croque madame so I wish it was on the lunch menu but win plenty lose little in the case of Le Diplomate. :)

Amazing dinner as always! The food and service were incredible. Can't wait to go back!

Birthday dinner outside

Brunch was perfect. The lobster omelette was delicious.

Like you were stepping from a sidewalk in Paris into the Brasserie Lipp. It started wit h Cocktails. I didn't know what to order so the waiter suggested that he would come back with something good and he was right, He made me a delicious Vieux Carre'. We then ordered appetizers consisting of state that our car, onion soup, and while we're on a parfait all of which were fantastic. My daughter and I had steak au poivre, which was delicious. The mushroom medley side order was very tasty as well. We washed it down with a very good and moderately priced half carafe of red wine.

We're never disappointed when we go to le Diplomate.

First time out to eat since February. the food was amazing and sitting outside with the tables spaced seemed about as safe as it could be done. Sitting in the middle of 14th Street was very noisy but what can you do.

Two of the three members in our party felt ill after eating the food on Saturday afternoon. Our mushroom tarte came quite burnt and our service was awful for the first time in my experience dining at the restaurant.

Our waiter was quite rude and overall had a poor experience

Everything was great! Food was good, service was superb. I ordered a cocktail and it turned out not to my liking, they took it back and made one that I liked. No problem.

Wonderful service and delicious food.

Thank you for respecting the social distancing guidelines - felt so safe!! Perfect visit as always!!

It was great overall! We found a hair in our food but the manager came over and apologized. He got us a new plate of food that was clean and took it off our tab. Other than that, food and service was outstanding

I wasn’t overly impressed with the salmon dish, but the drinks & ambience were great.

Great outside seating, as always excellent waiters! Cheers to Bill most excellent bartender!
Food was great! That burger never fails.

Everything was fine except the bugs and flies. We ate outside and the flies were all around us a d we were bitten by bugs. We were offered bug spray, but it didn't help much. Can't wait for covid to be over so that I can eat inside.

Very nice in the midst of a pandemic

Outdoor searing comfortably distanced. Good menu and food

DC staple and must try. I will come back for brunch!

Always a great time. Love this place.

Always a wonderful experience. Even under the new circumstances.

Le Diplomate is one of my favorite restaurant. This time the salad was not the same fresh and tasty as other times I had it.

The food was excellent and the service was top notched.

Excellent quality and service. The Salad Vert is always a winner!

Absolutely delicious. Would go there every day for lunch if I could. Had the warm shrimp salad. Divine

The food and the service are great, but there are just too many flies. One of them flew straight into the butter :(

We sat in the new Streatery and it was fine. Tables far apart which was great. It was a little bit too dark by the end of dinner. We both had the Lobster Frites and agree it is one of the best dishes in town. Really really terrific. They were out of the wine we ordered but the sommelier/manager came by with an excellent alternative. Stellar customer service. I can’t wait to go back.

We have enjoyed the restaurant in the past. But this visit almost makes us take it off our go-to list. Service was terribly inattentive. We would have to talk to two people to get someone to ask our server to come to the table. It took 30 minutes to place our order. The dishes that arrived were inaccurate. Steak frites ordered rare came well done.

Management did make an effort to accommodate us by comp'ing a number of the items we had ordered.

Doubt we will return until after the pandemic ends. Hope their service and food quality returns by then.

Really enjoyed our lunch. The food was delicious and the staff were really friendly with our baby daughter. Tables nice and spaced out too!

My first time to Le Diplomate was for brunch and the food and service was excellent. The bread was amazing. I am looking forward to returning for dinner.

Le Diplomate has done a wonderful job adapting to Covid rules. Sitting outside my party felt very safe and separated from the other diners. The food was excellent, as we have come to expect.

My family loves Le Diplomate. We go there for every big occasion. Unfortunately, this time we had horrible service. We were trying to celebrate my brother's engagement. The waiter couldn't even be bothered to give us silverware or explain any of the cheeses on our cheese board. We had to ask others to get our waiter four or five times. This culminated in my father paying the hostess because we waited 30 minutes for our waiter to return to give us the check. Obviously COVID is a weird time, and we certainly tried to be understanding, but this was just such a bummer for a big occasion. Might need to seek out a new occasion spot.

Birthday — was excellent!
