    Would have been nice to know via the restaurant's website that the head chef died three months ago. In the confusion of paying was charged for a dessert we were told was on the house. Said dessert was slightly burnt. Spectacularly loud interior. Need to shout to be heard across a table. Getting an appetizer as an entre tripled the price.

    Loud!! Is how you have to speak to your fellow diners and to the servers in order to be heard in this restaurant. The acoustics are awful. Really detracts from the dining experience. Wait staff were literally yelling at customers in order to communicate. Ridiculous!

    A perfect neighborhood gem. Classic French cooking served by wonderful and knowledgeable staff. A bit of Lyon in Cleveland Park.

    Everything about La Piquette is wonderful: the great food, excellent service, charming decor and overall vibe. All it's missing is a Paris street address!
