stephanie: Go to wander down the alley off M St. to find Leopolds in Georgetown. Get the Praline Mousse!!
Carrie Winans: Great food!! Try the praline mousse!
Behrad Eats: Start off with the Heurigenplatte, which offers some great cured meats & cheeses, along with a sweet fig jam and dried fruits.
Washingtonian Magazine: What to get: Chestnut-and-foie-gras soup; shrimp with corn blinis; boudin blanc with truffle sauce and truffled potato purée; melted Montboissie cheese over toasted pecan-raisin bread.
Food Network: Table 28, in a curtained-off nook in the main dining room, is perfect for an extra-romantic and ultra-private evening. Via CityEats.com Read more.

Washington Post: Soup bowls tend to return to the kitchen licked clean. Smoked tomato soup arrives w/ a slender crouton, dappled with a vivid red pepper puree. Pureed cauliflower whispers of garlic, fennel and bacon. Read more.

R B: It is the best steak frites in the city, if you appreciate real Belgium steak frites. And the owner and all staff are awesome. And the scene is vibrant and warm. Very European. Don't miss it.
Washington Post: Every neighborhood deserves an Et Voila!, a source of Belgian steamed mussels and beer-based beef stew that is priced for regular workdays.

Bitches Who Brunch: The Bitches say: A. We had a delightful, delicious experience at the posh Fig & Olive. Once it’s cleared for Salmonella-free business again, we’d take our chances and go back again. Read more.
Nora: Fried oysters for appetizers, crab bisque best soup ever, king crabs and lobster tail for mains, and finally key lime pie and banana cream pie for heavenly dessert
Daniel Swartz: Pie is available in half slices. Combine one of key lime and one of banana cream for the best of both worlds.
Silvia: stone crab. key lime pie. the end.
