The service was the main standout - exactly how a dining experience should be.Our waiter was super knowledgable about the menu and even gave recommendations for each course.The food itself was not outstanding to me but I got the Shrimp salad (which was good but I don't think worth $27!?).My friend (who's a picky eater) got the steak and she said it was great! Obviously Le Diplomate is a DC staple, so I'll definitely be back to try more on the menu!

Jamila, we're happy to know you had a positive experience at Le Diplomate and appreciate your feedback on how we can improve.Hopefully, we have another opportunity to serve you in the future so we can earn that last star!
This was my first visit to Le Dip.I enjoyed the Christmas decor and friendly staff from the start.It was loud inside and sometimes hard to have a conversation.I started with a lemon drop and it was very tasty.The bread basket and butter were also very good. As for the food, it was very good, high quality-house made items.My favorite things were the onion soup, escargot, and ravioli.My least favorite was the mushroom tart.It was too mush “tart” and not enough toppings in my opinion.Other than that it was a good time.
