   The food was overpriced for what you get. The plates are not tasty at all. The location is nice but there are better restaurants at the wharf and won't return.

   Service was atrocious. Water was barely refilled. We were brought the wrong food. Waiter constantly walked by our table when no one else was in our section without taking our order or checking if needed anything.

   This place is fine. Violated my rule of not eating within hundred feet of the water or hundred feet in the air! I’ve eaten a lot of French Bistro food, in Paris and elsewhere, and this had all the classics but, meh. Just OK.

   I was having an in-person meeting with a perspective employer, and had never been here before. I didn’t not pick the place but knew the area thanks to the Anthem music venue being next door. I was thankful the restaurant was on OpenTable as I was able to make reservation just in case one hadn’t been made. Which came in handy as the perspective employer was not from the DC metro area and they could not find the reservation their assistant had made. The food was great, the staff was professional and attentive. The indoor space was small, so we ate outside. Being so close to the water have a great view, and helped with the heat of the summer day. However, and I know this is not something the restaurant can control - the noise level from frequent planes overhead and other customers made it hard to hear during our conversation. I would definitely try the restaurant again for breakfast, lunch, or dinner for a more relaxed occasion and not a business lunch. If sound or weather or of concern, make sure to put in your reservation you would like indoor seating. They may or may not be able to accommodate.

   Lovely spot on the waterfront. Outdoor dining could have been terrific with a bit less humidity - that's not something the restaurant could manage. Overall good solid experience.

    Main issue was the appetizer came out at the same time as the entrees. Also, how difficult is it to brew iced tea?

    The location is great. The French Onion soup was fantastic, but the Coq au Vin was average. I wouldn't order any of the desserts and the macchiottos (coffee) they served was lukewarm to cold.

    Bistro Du Jour is a true French café, with people drinking cappuccinos next to people sipping aperitifs, and other people enjoying business lunch next to people grabbing pastries at the end of a bike ride. The food and service are excellent. The décor and setting along the waterfront are also top-notch. I would love to come here every day.

    Great sit down dining for kids (7 and 8) and adults to enjoy. We visit the wharf a couple times a year and always stay at the Intercontinental. Most sit down places within walking distance are not great for kids ….the food tends to be really adventurous (“innovative”, “creative”, “elevated”) renditions of what you are used to. So our kids, who will normally eat most anything, have been unable to finish their $40+ entrees because they are heavily spiced or tweaked with unusual pairings. That is not the restaurants fault,… but this time, I learned from experience and decided to pick a cheaper place; It turned out to be our favorite dining experience so far! There is great outdoor seating and people watching, the food was delicious with something suitable to everyone’s palette (it wasn’t boring for adults, but you could still find things the kids would want), there is a kids menu with real dishes, and a dessert counter that my kids (okay, and me) were ogling (we got some great take home treats), and it was all for a third of the price of the surrounding restaurants. It is “traditional” which meant we could count on everything tasting close to what we expected (actually in all cases it tasted much better than what we were expecting) so that works …especially when dining with kids. I always assumed it was more of a lunch or breakfast place, but we are glad we gave it a shot for dinner. Kids and adults were happy!

    I have been to Bistro Du Jour at different times of the day - carry out croissant and coffee, lunch and dinner. it has been excellent on all occasions. The coffee is excellent, as are the croissants and all the pastries i've tasted. The steak and fries was superb, cooked to perfection, as were mussels at lunch. Do NOT miss the French bread and butter found in the appetizer menu - delicious. Service is friendly, perfect amount of attention.

    First time at DuJour. Food was so delicious, definitely returning to try other things. I had the quiche & salad and my husband had the Belgian waffles. He also thought highly of his meal. Service was great except our drinks took a while to come, about half way through the meal. My latte was hot & tasty though and the other mix drink was nice too. Personnel was very accommodating and professional. Otherwise I would have given it 5 Stars! The view outside is of the Marina at the Wharf; very relaxing that morning.

    The mussels were delicious but no crusty bread was served to soak up the deliucious sauce. Sun was too strong on the west patio. Good service until the end when it was difficult to get our check.

    This place is great! It's a great spot for brunch at the Wharf, since a lot of the restaurants down there are only open for lunch and dinner. The food is very good, and they have lots of sweet treats to choose from. And the service is excellent! The servers are very polite and attentive. Would definitely go again!
