    The gougeres and the oysters aren’t as expected. If you’re looking for LeDiplomate’s gougeres this isn’t the place. The service and atmosphere was nice though. We were the only ones in the restaurant at 7 PM on a Saturday. Not sure if that’s because of the restaurant…

    We had fabulous service, tasty cocktails, excellent food -- all in a beautifully appointed and very comfortable dining room! Our second time here and it did not disappoint. It's so unusual to have a waiter with a sense of timing at a DC restaurant; Juan was exceptional. And we appreciate that each person who came to our table - whether to pour water or deliver bread -- came with a smile. We will return!

    This beautiful restaurant located inside the Morrow hotel made it extremely convenient for us to have great daily breakfasts before we made our way to the museums. The scrambled eggs were fluffy, as were the pancakes, the bacon was crisp, and the toast and jam was very tasty! The coffee was very good too! The servers were amazing and very accommodating! I would definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a hearty and delightful breakfast!

    I went for a relaxed business lunch with a colleague. This was my first time at LeClou. i was very happy to see that they offer a lunch special. I got the soup and ham sandwich. Everything was very good. The restaurant had a lovely feel, but it was very empty at lunch. For me, this was a trial to see if I wanted to return to spend the money for dinner. I will now return to try dinner.
