This place has amazing food, beautiful atmosphere, and is very large. Have a group of 8 for dinner? This place can easily... accommodate. There is even a back bar with two rooms if you want to hold a private event. Front bar area also has a lot ofspace if you just want to stop for some delicious cocktails. Extensive by glass wine list. This will be added to my short listof favorites. Read more

If you’re wanting aplace that will make your taste buds soar, look no further than Alexandria's own Bistro Sancerre! Located just across from theKing Street Metro Station you will find a French dining experience that will be well worth your walk/drive. Tonight my fianceand I started with the crab dip & baguettes, then on to the munkfish medallions with roasted cauliflower, golden raisins,capers, lemon, herbs & crisp prosciutto (Gluten Free!) & finally topped the evening off with a small French press coffee and thesummer blueberry clofoutis with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream...yummy!! There are Gluten Free and Vegetarian options listedon the full menu (see pictures for menu), so most everyone can find something to please their paletts! If you've never been byhere my question to you is, what's stopping you? Stop by for lunch, dinner every day of the week or brunch on Sundays, youwon't be disappointed! Shout out to Roger, Thank you for the great service!! Enjoy!! Read more

I've been a fan of Bistro since they opened roughly 3 years ago. Never had a bad experience there. They serve authentic French... cuisine, but the steaks are what keep bringing me back. Friendly service, interesting specials, and a great drink selection(both wine and cocktails alike). Venture off the beaten path in Old Town and discover this hidden gem! Read more

Their wine flights were the best part of the evening, even though we had to ask repeatedly for additional drinks throughout the... evening. The service was extremely slow, through out the night runners were offering plates to us thinking they were ours, wheninfact they were not. An hour after ordering, they brought out our entrées first. We told the runner we ordered appetizers, andhe just walked away with the food. Then 20min later we got our appetizers. They were good. Then our food came BACK out and itwas inedible. We ordered meals with "Wagyu" cuts [which means it should cut like butter and taste delicious!], but instead wegot extremely tough, fatty, over cooked bits of beef. See spit out, unable to be chewed meat in the photos. They remade ourorder with cheaper cuts of meat (filets), but charged us the same on our bill. Though the new cuts of beef were edible, theywere nothing special, especially for the price!! To add, the "chocolate mousse," tasted like someone scooped out some Nutellaand put it in a glass with 1 chopped strawberry. After a 3 hour + experience on their uncomfortable chairs, we finally got thebill with no attempt to make right the poor slow service, or various mistakes of the evening. This place is definitely not worththe money spent - especially with the food being below average! Read more
