   Food is outstanding and the service is excellent. One of my favorites in Alexandria. Try the Skanky Martini for a new twist on an ole favorite.

   We’ve been to Bistro Sancerre many times over the past few years. Typically it has been a great experience to have a good French Style Restaurant so near home. However the past two occasions it has been lacking something. The previous time my duck was overcooked. This time my steak was cooked perfectly but was not properly trimmed and had gristle. The cocktail I had tasted watered down. I’m sure it wasn’t but this was the first time my Manhattan was mediocre. It was better than the house Manhattan which had no flavor. So unfortunately it’ll be some time before we return. I’ll head to Great Falls next time.

   This tucked away French bistro is one of my regular places to dine. Staff are friendly, the food is lovely, and the environment is comfortable.

   Awful experience. Food was ok, service was abysmal. Our entrees were never brought out and eventually were packed up for us to take home. The restaurant was so hot my children felt ill and had to leave.

   This was our first time at this restaurant. It was a quiet evening with only one server. While he was efficient, the service was a little slow but not enough to make a huge difference in our opinion of the venue. We will come back again.

   We were extremely disappointed. When we arrived at 7, there was no "buzz". That's because there was no hostess and few patrons. One waiter, who explained there was no bartender on duty. Then he forgot to put our order in, so we waited for an hour and a half to receive our entrees. The food was very good, but the place should not have opened for service without proper staffing.

   A superlative meal on a quiet evening for the restaurant, our party of four ended up with the place to ourselves. Booking our reservation at the last minute, three of our party arrived jon time to find our table set and ready. The locale is expansive, spaciuous and uncrowded, with much artwork gracing the walls Immediately seated,we orderd a bottle of Picpoul - bright and refreshing, smooth finish - and bread basket while waiting for our fourth to join us. The starters were sublime: a Beet Salad, Brie with Honey, Pate, and Beef Wellington Bites, oonly to be topped by the entrees, which took our dining experience to the next level. We chose the Duck Breast (shared), Short Rib Bourguignon, and Mushroon Orzo which was particularly memorable, accompanied by an off-menu Villa Antinori Tuscan Red (luscious, silky, fruity and earthy). We closed the meal with a shared White Chocolate Bread pudding for dessert,. Service was attentive and relaxed with the only off-note being the absence of the bartender that evening limiting our drinks selection. Bistor Sancerre was a wonderful find which, now known, we would happily and eagerly chose once more
