    Had not been to La Chaumiere in years. Celebrated a special birthday. It couldn’t have been a nicer experience. The food was excellent. Our waiter, Henri, was very pleasant and helpful with all of our choices. The surroundings of the restaurant are as lovely and warm as they have always been. Look forward to our next visit … soon.

    This is a lovely French restaurant in the heart of Georgetown. Transport yourself to a rustic French Inn for incredible, authentic cuisine. The portions are generous and the wine list is exceptional. I look forward to returning soon!
