    I’ve been to Chez Billy Sud several times and always love the food and atmosphere. I particularly liked the leisurely pace of the evening. My husband and I no longer drink alcohol and sometimes feel our meals out can be a little hurried. Chez Billy was excellent at providing a relaxing evening for us. My only wish is if they could expand their mocktail offerings. The one on the menu is excellent. I just would have liked to have more options.

    Chez Billy Sud is a delight to the eyes and pleasure for the palate. We have eaten there many times over the years and always enjoy our choices. Le confit de canard was exceptional. The tuna dinner was also delicious. I had planned on crème brulee for dessert and was disappointed when the server told us their torch was broken. Shouldn't happen in a French restaurant!

    There were five of us, and everybody’s dinner was perfection. The Seabass was so fresh and well prepared. The Stake Frites are always outstanding. The hamburgers and the fries are the very best in Georgetown. The staff is absolutely lovely.  Favorite, D.C. restaurant

    Chez Billy Sud is hands down one of the best restaurants in DC. The service is always impeccable, the food is so delicious, and the ambiance is exactly what you would want for a special occasion or fancier dinner. Their outside patio is also lovely.

    While the food was decent, the service left a lot to be desired. Either way, though, the staff collects a mandatory 20% gratuity - so no problem for them if you are less than pleased with the service! For this reason, we cannot recommend Chez Billy Sud…nor do we plan to visit again.

    The evening felt like amateur hour. Host was not willing to accommodate us for a different table which remained free the whole time we were there and the service was awful. Our waitress was new and clueless. Ordered a bottle of wine which took 25 minutes to arrive. Very disappointing.

    Our waiter was terrific and the food was great, once it arrived... luckily we weren't in a big rush, but it was incredibly slow. And the restaurant wasn't even crowded. The piped in music was also rather loud, although we asked twice for the volume to be reduced. It's a great restaurant but that experience makes me hesitate to recommend it highly. NOT our waiter's fault - he was fabulous.

    Food generally over salted to its detriment; all you taste is salt. Side dish/fries served lukewarm to cold. Definitely room for improvement and nuance with the food.

    We had a wonderful dinner at Chez Billy Sud in Georgeon Sunday night. We sat in their lovely outdoor patio area. The Caesar salad was exceptionally good and we enjoyed the goat cheese with honey and fig compote appetizer, as well as the softshell crab appetizer. My husband also enjoyed his crispy duck leg. This is a really nice restaurant!
