   Perfect place to eat an elevated casual dinner on a weekday. Busy without being crammed, noisy but could still keep a conversation without feeling the need to yell. The food was good but unpretentious. Great experience all-around!

   We were so excited to return to bistro du coin..and their legendary..to us..mussels lived up to our memory ..wonderful. My omelet was good..a bit dry but still great…and the side order of sausages..terrific! Unfortunately, the Belgian way of cooking French fries was not used for the fries that came on the side of my omelet so…only mediocre..too bad.

   Outstanding as usual, the food is absolutely delicious. The bread is superb, and the service was great. The ambience was excellent. We love visiting this restaurant every time we come to DC.

   I’ve eaten here many times and was very disappointed last night. The service was the worst part, the food was honestly just ok. Our reservation was for 6 PM and my friend was already seated when I got there a little late. She said that the server had come by for a drink orders, but she had waited for me. The server did not come back for 30 minutes. We had to flag her down to take our wine order and because we finally had her we went ahead and put our food order in as well. She had to know she had let us sit there until 6:50 with nothing, and still no smile, barely looked at us, definitely no apology. The wine came quickly, and in not too long of a time the food. We never saw our server again for the rest of the meal. Both of us had empty wine glasses, my friend had totally finished her food, but I had slowed down because I wanted a second glass of wine. Finally we asked a bus boy if he could bring our server and then we could ask for a second glass of wine for me. I had three bites of dinner left. But no worry there because as nobody was in a rush to take our plates, I had plenty of time to finish my wine. My steak was definitely overcooked, no pink at all in a medium, the fries that came with it were not hot and the wine sauce was bland. We didn’t eat dessert, and it was still an almost 2.5 hour dinner. And why is there a 5% service charge added? On a day of terrible service, it was salt to the wound. Please add it to the cost of the food so everyone is above board about pricing. I generally love this restaurant, it is a dc staple and usually a good experience. I’m really hoping it was just a bad night.

   BDC offers mediocre French cuisine for a reasonable price. There are better places but I like how they are right on Conn Ave and rarely too busy.

   I was here to eat with three friends. We found everything excellent from the salad to the steak to the escargot and all the way through delicious desserts. We felt so lucky to be able to walk from our hotel and find this neighborhood French bistro with delicious food.. We all four decided we would definitely come back!

   Had another terrific meal at Bistrot du Coin. Food is very authentically French bistro. Service is always efficient and meal is well paced. Love the atmosphere!

    The place reminds of pairs spots for sure. Most the food was bland and lacks flavor or seasoning. The best thing we had was the rabbit. We had Mussels even two types both are a miss Escargot lacked flover so did the beef tartar, Onion supe was ok. Service was at such a low point that we wear surprised for the nations-capital, once we order he forgot we wear there, even after asking for something never got it. had to ask otheres staff for napkins or even the bill. Had high hopes for birthday meal, just disappointing.
