Excellent recommendations from the bartender and a perfectly sized meal for two people. Loved the French wines on the wine menu and again took recommendations from the bartender for these. The duck main was superb and we loved the accompanying sauce. Would come back next time in DC. read more

After my first visit a year ago, it became my highest rated spot on Beli. I visited again in January with clients and colleagues and was left with a very poor experience. We opted for tasting menu and were rushed out as soon as the dessert was served. As it was done, we were rushed to pay and all our personal items, including everyone's laptops were placed outside the restaurant. I would have hoped that the servers would pace the meals accordingly if tables were to be turned but what happened wasn't the most graceful or acceptable thing to do. I left a personal review as well so as not to share the feedback directly in public, but got no response or acknowledgment back. read more

My wife and I usually enjoy French food. We love the delicacy by which French food handles ingredients. Unfortunately, from both a taste and service perspective, this place could be a lot better. 1) While our server Todd was excellent, the meal didn't get off to a good start. We were fine being seated in the outdoor patio, BUT the heating lamps did not work. In DC, that is a no-no. My wife and I in the cold felt freezing and we got a little sick. We didn't want to be charged for not completing the reservation. Advice to Lutèce would be to ensure they have backup heaters for the future. 2) As for the food, we had the bread, cabbage, tartare, duck, and pthivier. Nothing tasted bad but it wasn't the best we ever had either. Duck IMO was overcooked and the cabbage which is their signature wasn't anything special. Based on this, would recommend going to L'Diplomate instead. read more

Lutèce is just divine. The location is perfect for people watching if you're sitting outside on nice day and the food is so intentional! Not only is the presentation beautiful, but the flavors are fantastic. The bluefin tuna crudo and burrata salad with snap peas were perfectly bright and fresh, the savory madeline dish was decadent, and the wine was crisp. The service is excellent (attentive but not rushed) and the servers are lovely and very knowledgeable. read more

Lutèce exceeded our expectations in every way. We'd been dying to try dinner after several great brunches, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The steak tartare was fantastic--bright, balanced, and so flavorful that your taste buds kept dancing long after each bite. Cabbage unexpectedly stole the show as a star appetizer, shining in both the duck sausage dish and the chatter appetizer. For entrées, get the duck. Seriously. So, so good. The flavors were an explosion of "wow" and easily one of the best dishes of the night. We ended on a high note with dessert--so good that my friend, who usually skips dessert entirely, said it was one of her favorites ever. Absolutely going back. read more

What an amxing find. I lived in DC a LONNNNGGG time ago and in my meanderings pre and after clubbing in Georgetown I don't remember Lutece being there. Ambiance is super intimate and romantic. We were seated outside which in November could be chilly but the weather was still and the heat lamps did their job. Service was attentive and spot on. Great service. The food is amazing. We shared the pithiviens and a gnocchi dish with cheese and mushrooms that was out of this world. Robust wine list with bottles that don't break the bank and still good wine. And of course expensive wines as well. Definitely going back when in DC. read more

We had an amazing dinner at Lutece! We had a 9pm reservation, and we decided to do the tasting menu. I love that the restaurant is cozy. You're packed in tight like a New York style restaurant, but they make the most of the space they have! The decor is cute with greenery and dried fruits. And you can peek inside the open kitchen. Everything we tried was delicious. Our highlights included the pumpkin gnocchi, the sourdough focaccia, the crudo fin fish, and the duck breast. Both desserts were incredibly delicious. One of the desserts was unique with a honey and cheese combination. The service was excellent throughout the night. We had a really fun date night, and we will definitely be back! read more

I cannot stop talking about how GOOD lutece was! The food was beyond this world - as elevated as elevated can get!

A must visit for anyone on the fence! read more

I tried the dinner menu at Lutece for the first time and sadly it didn't match the dessert/brunch offerings for me. The pithivier had an unpleasant texture and there were some particularly tough bits I couldn't chew and had to set aside. I like blood sausage, but the flavor and texture here were not good, and the pastry wasn't flavorful either. The sauces weren't enough to save it for me. The sticky toffee pudding was a mixed bag. I liked the taste of every individual element of the dessert, but it wasn't a sticky toffee pudding: the cake was dry and hadn't been soaked in the sauce, and there was no trace of dates. It's fine as a generic cake, but calling it that name made me expect sticky toffee pudding, which it simply wasn't. I couldn't really enjoy it. I regret paying so much for the pithivier in particular, since it didn't taste good, so I won't return for dinner. However, I would still consider coming back for their creative desserts (with a note to avoid the one I had this time). The staff are lovely and the presentation is gorgeous! Portions are very small across the board. It's a tight space, so make a reservation if you can. read more

Had a FABULOUS time at Lutèce's tonight celebrating mom's birthday dinner. We had a reservation at 8:15, but was planned to be there earlier than scheduled, around 7pm. They didn't have any tables available earlier but were so nice to make a recommendation for nearby bars to hang before our reservation time. Our table became available around 8pm and they texted us to join early if desired, which I appreciated. The restaurant is cozy, on the smaller side. You are quite literally next to your neighbor's table - think Paris or a city in Italy. It's darkly lit, noise level is decently high. We did a la carte, ordered broccoli appetizer, gnocchi and scallops (+ caviar). Surprisingly the winner of the night were the broccoli! They were cooked perfectly/ crispy, and the sauce that came with enhanced the flavors. Scallops were alright, caviar was just meh. Glad I had the option to add caviar because it was a special night, and why not. Gnocchi was super mushy, cauliflower were good though! Overall, their dish had beautiful presentation, sauce seasoned perfectly, but the main ingredient didn't feel super fresh / not cooked to our taste. We ordered two glasses of wine and unfortunately the by-glass wine list was very underwhelming. Should have gone for beer or cocktail. I did like the vibe, service, and the chef's cooking skills, so would like to give Lutèce another visit when their menu changes. Overall though, I had a great time! read more

This tiny gem is tucked into Georgetown. The bright blue front is darling, and draws attention to what is a beautiful, but tight, space. With maybe thirty seats or so, Lutéce manages to make itself a vibrant and lively space. The food was, from start to finish, extremely tasty. My husband and I began with the bread and cultured butter, accompanied by the marinated olives. The butter was absolutely divine. The basil oil adds a delicious and refreshing herby flavor to the already intoxicating bread. I had the ossetra caviar; and, though my husband (who isn't a fan of caviar) only took a bit, even he was blown away. The crispy, hot potatoes and the briny, smooth deliciousness of the ossetra pair perfectly with the fresh and crisp creme fraiche and chives and dill. While pricey, in my opinion this dish is worth it. For our mains, I got the steak tartare and my husband got the wagyu steak, medium rare. My husband's steak was probably the best bite of food I tasted. While everything was good, this steak was cooked perfectly and the accompanying sauces were so good. The steak tartare was rich and flavorful. Our server told me it's one of the chef's favorite dishes, and I can see why. The red peppers minced into the tartare add a punch of freshness and flavor, and the butter foam on top is a savory dream. The bread was a perfect vessel to make sure I didn't miss a piece of tartare. All in all, the meal was good and we would definitely return. I'm glad I got a last minute opening notification from Resy and that we were able to finally try Lutéce! read more

Lutèce had long been on the list and I was so glad to finally try it last weekend with two friends. I arrived about 10 minutes after my friends so they had already ordered a bottle of red wine and it was the perfect compliment to our meal -- rich, full and yet light and drinkable. We started with the Bluefin Tuna Crudo, which was tender, bright and had a bit of a kick to it. It was such a fresh bite to start the meal. We also had the Charred Napa Cabbage and the roasted carrot special and the dishes had such different flavor profiles but were equally delicious. The cabbage was nutty and silky with the tahini sauce while the carrots were buttery and smooth with the touch of honey. I truly would have been happy with just these three dishes! For our entrees, we had the Berkshire Pork, the Roasted Cod and the Parisian Gnocchi. While I didn't try the pork, both of my friends really enjoyed it. The cod was flaky and cooked perfectly and the lobster/orange/saffron broth so was bright and tangy, it was my favorite bite of the evening. We added the truffle supplement to the gnocchi and I honestly didn't think it added too much, especially because the gnocchi dish was so salty I truly couldn't take more than two bites. I was disappointed but my friend really enjoyed it. Dessert was a tough pick and we might have picked incorrectly but we went with the Apple & Molasses, which "presents as an apple pie" as our server said. It wasn't sweet and was a good way to cleanse the palette with interesting flavors but nothing I'd order again. I did love the extra passionfruit jelly bite served to us with our bill. Passionfruit anything, please! It's an adorable, cozy space that I imagine would be great for a date night. I'd love to go back and try some other dishes in the future. One note, we did go there on an especially cold evening and did feel like we were a bit rushed from our table as the very small vestibule area filled up and future diners were crammed in there staring us down. read more

Booked reservations for dinner at Lutece on a Friday night after wanting to visit for sometime. It's a small space as others have mentioned so we were a bit cozy but no complaints.

Lutece is worth the hype so make a reservation and see for yourself! read more

Great ambiance and perfect for a nice date night or special occasion. I do want to mention that it is very important to have a reservation as it is almost impossible to get in without one. It is a smaller restaurant so seating is a bit cozy. However, the food is worth it! Since I came with a group, we were able to try a bit of everything and it was so good. I especially enjoyed the gnochhi (only wish there was more) and the grilled octopus. The one thing that I was not the most impressed with (and maybe this is because it was so busy) was the service. The service was pretty slow to refill water even with me asking and we had a bit of a laugh when we told the server about a dirty cup. Instead of taking away the cup, the server just brought a new one and so this dirty cup was stuck on our table for the whole dinner. read more

I want to tell you that Lutece is no good so I can keep it to myself, but that wouldn't be fair at all. Lutece is such an amazing place and deserves all the compliments it gets. You don't make your way into the Michelin guide unless you are serving up some serious food and that's exactly what Chef Conroy is doing at Lutece. Everything and I truly mean everything I have ever had there is perfect and that includes the cocktails. Service is second to none and at the helm is their amazing managing Elizabeth. All the staff are beyond friendly and provide you with perfect service. The restaurant is small and comfortable at the same time. You're not cramped at all but you do feel the love from everyone while you are eating. This is a gem and Georgetown is lucky to have them. Please make the trip to Lutece and you'll see what I am talking about. read more

I was visiting DC for a work conference a few weeks ago and found Lutece through a quick google search and made a reservation. It looked amazing so decided to come here as a solo diner on one of my free nights out. The food did not disappoint! I got the tasting menu and everything was lovely and SO delicious. However, I found the service to be a little lacking to the point where it was distracting from how good the food is. First of all, I came in as a solo diner at 5pm - the place was pretty empty except a few couples already seated at tables, so I got sat at the bar (5 seats, completely empty at this point). I got sat closest to the door, and it was so chilly everytime someone came in and out of the place (which was often). I asked the hostess if I could change seats because it was so cold, like move me to literally ANYWHERE ELSE at the bar, like move a few seats down away from the draft since it was empty, and she acted like it was the most difficult request I could have asked. She said "no" because the other seats had reservations (was I not also a reservation?). I thought I could deal with it but with the constant in and out of everyone at the door, I was so close to leaving because it was that distracting. I asked the Bartender if she could ask again if I could just move a few seats away from the door and FINALLY it took like 4 people calculating the 5 seats to just move me to the other side of the bar while the other 4 seats accommodated 2 couples. It was just weird how long that request took to just move me down a few seats over an empty bar and honestly was super annoying as a solo diner sitting at the bar to feel like SUCH an inconvenience for a small request at an empty restaurant. Anyways the food was truly wonderful, the bartender on shift was so lovely (I think her name was Ava or Eva?) and I ended up enjoying myself after that. 5 stars for that. The tasting menu was phenomenal and I would absolutely consider coming back here. Maybe the weird glitch in service was a fluke. 2 stars for the hosts there. read more

We came here for my birthday dinner and it was incredible. We decided to sit at the chef's table for the tasting menu and it was a lot of fun! Just 2 downsides with that though: 1) Because we were seated right behind the expediter, it was hard to see what was happening in the kitchen at times (which is the point of sitting there). 2) The table was pretty small so our knees kept knocking together which got a little uncomfortable. The food and service was excellent though! They started us with 3 small "snacks". They were all delicious but I particularly loved the Pomme Paillasson topped with caviar, and the pork ribs. I won't go over every dish but a couple more standouts were the crudo (incredibly fresh with great flavors), and the duck breast (perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious). The sourdough focaccia was also some of the best bread I've ever had. The gnocchi was also one of our favorites - melt in your mouth with a delicious miso broth. We had 3 desserts plus a little birthday cake. I loved the black sesame dessert with grape granita; it basically tasted like an elevated peanut butter and jelly. The honey semifrado with shaved cheese was probably one of my favorite desserts of all time. The flavors and textures just all worked perfectly together. We also got a little treat box to go! The staff were also all incredibly kind. We almost couldn't make it due to a food poisoning incident the night before and everyone stopped by to see how we were doing which was very kind! Would love to come back and do the normal menu because everything else they were putting out looked wonderful. read more

If you come, try getting a reservation at the chefs table because I feel the amount of food you get to try is so worth the price! The reservation actually took a bit of time to get seated as it seems there's only one maybe two chef table options. Our reservation was at 9:30 but we didn't get seated until around 9:45pm. I wouldn't say the service is bad but you're definitely not here to get that usual Michelin high end service from the waiters which I'm ok with since the flavor is where it's all at! The restaurant is very small and a bit cramped and the food has a bit too long a time in between courses. golden ossetra caviar | pomme paillasson, crème fraîche - Good salty and so much caviar on the potatoes! Very nice crunch and and paired well. Only thing is I wasn't a big fan of whatever type of potato thing the actual tater tot was made out of, a little too mushy with sticky flavor 3.75/5 summer gazpacho | gooseberries - unique and well balanced sweet, savory refreshing flavor! I actually loved this 4/4 bangs island mussel | vodovan aïoli - good but nothing too unique. Not enough portion, one mussel each. 3/5 bluefin tuna watermelon | Thai chili, fig leaf - it's not the best bluefin tuna quality I've had but it's a great summer dish and the watermelon and soup cuts out the fishiness 3.5/5 parisian gnocchi | corn shishito, courgette - super unique, creamy, balanced, little sweet! I loved the soft chewy texture of the almost mochi like gnocchi! Even though it's creamy it's not that heavy. 5/5 sourdough focaccia | rosemary, cultured butter, basil oil marinated olives & guindillas - good bread but nothing too special. The basil oil was nice and butter extremely soft and easy spread 2.75/5 la belle farm duck | cherry, chanterelles, vidalia onion - amazing! The softest, still juicy and flavorful duck I've ever had. I love the cherry sauce and the little bits of other food to mix together. The chanterelles is similar to one of those extremely creamy buttery mashed potatoes but much lighter 5/5 watermelon sorbet | pickled rind, mezcal - nothing too special but good watermelon flavor and the light yellow rinds were unique and tasty. The brown ones too strong 3/5 honey semifreddo | 18 mo. comté, honeycomb - I admit the first bite was so weird and so cheesy I was thrown off. But once you mix it with the center cookie and honey and eat more it really grew on me as a savory and sweet unique dessert. The cheese is cut so thin that it's very soft and airy to eat 4/5 black raspberry financier | coconut, pecan, red shiso -The flavor soaked into the financier so well and made a really light and yummy dessert! 4/5 blueberry tarte | sweet corn, crème fraîche, lemon - best cheesecake/ tart I've ever had! The crust holds its shape but like instantly crumbles in your mouth for a very light and sweet crust that compliments the very light sweet and super flavorful filling! 5/5 Strawberry daze - not too memorable, wasn't too yummy but also not too strong. 2.5/5 read more

4.5 star outdoor dining experience Managed to snag a last minute res outside but man outdoor dining was a regrettable decision. They did the best to give me water and ice but probably shouldn't even offer the option during a heat wave tbh Got the bluefin tuna, baked eggplant, golden tilefish, duck, and honey semifreddo. All menu items were good but didn't really feel traditionally french. The bluefin tuna was my least favorite. Baked eggplant was better than I expected, the foam for the tilefish was cool, and I loved the honey semifreddo which had generous shavings of comte (my fave cheese!). Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. I'm not sure why other reviewers had issues but maybe it depends on who you get. Outdoor ambience was french bistro feel. Inside looked small and cramped. I wouldn't mind coming back for the tasting menu at the chef's table /definitely indoors. read more

Came to Lutèce for lunch on Saturday. The restaurant is located in Georgetown, a very busy area, and finding parking is not easy. The restaurant is very popular and reservation is a must. We were only able to get a bar seat for lunch. The restaurant is small and cozy. We ordered King Salmon- a refreshing appetizer served with habanada, mandarin, and carrot. Love the favor of this dish, very well balanced. The mandarin paired perfectly with salmon. Definitely a great dish to start off the lunch. Charred Napa Cabbage-super amazing. I didn't expect cabbage to be so flavorful. The smoky favor on the surface and the sesame, tahini, and parmesan on the top making it the most surprising dish on the day. Braised Beef Cheek- The meat was very tender, I especially enjoyed the fatty part. I felt like it just melted in the mouth like jelly. The Pommes Purée which soaked up the sauce and complemented the beef so well. Brioche Donut- The donut itself was already delicious, soft with great texture, filled with sorrel Crème fraîche, a bit on the sour side, but very refreshing and clean. I will definitely try to come back again for dinner, if I can secure a reservation. read more

Great location in the middle of Georgetown. Nice small, intimate restaurant. I think there was space for ~30 or so inside the restaurant. Really attentive staff who seemed to always be available when you needed something. Ordered the tasting menu which was really enjoyable. The blue fin tuna appetizer was fantastic - it was in some type of sauce that was a nice tart and a little spice too. Main dish was duck which was really well cooked, with just enough fat and skin. For the dessert, they served 4 different types and while the chocolate cake was very nice, the crème brûlée was very nice. They did a nice job with portion control, so while I was full, I wasn't completely stuffed. Paired the dinner with a nice burgundy wine that was very nice. A little hard to get into from a reservation perspective but definitely worth the trouble. read more

Small menu, but loved just about everything we ordered. I forget how many amazing restaurants are in Georgetown. Definitely make a reservation and try it all out. The server recommended 5 dishes, but I'm thinking 3-4 are more appropriate, especially if you're getting bread. We were stuffed after dinner. Start with the sourdough focaccia and cultured butter. We also ordered the charred napa cabbage, roasted broccoli, beets with burrata, and la belle farm duck. I enjoyed all the dishes, except the duck was a little underwhelming. Duck was two small pieces and not a whole lot of flavors. My favorite was the beets with burrata. We ended dinner with the honey semifreddo, which is super interesting with all the cheese. Tasty dessert, but just a ton of cheese. Surprisingly it all goes well with each other. Small and intimate restaurant. Parking is not great in the area. Be prepared to park in a garage or pay for street parking. read more

Wow. What an incredible experience! My partner and I have been anticipating our anniversary dinner at Lutece for the longest time. Ever since we heard about this gem, we knew we had to try it out and Lutece absolutely did not disappoint. The ambiance of the restaurant was so cozy and lively. It was a small space but it adds to the cozy atmosphere. The service was top notch. From start to the end, they made sure that we were celebrated. We had different staff bringing out dishes and each one of them wished us an happy anniversary. They even brought us a sweet treat at the end and we thought that was so thoughtful. Finally, the food. Oh my gosh. The only thing they could have done better is give us bigger portions! Both my partner and I couldn't stop thinking about the steak tartare, duck, and honeycomb semifreddo. We absolutely can't wait to return and try out the Chef's tasting menu. Thank you so much for a wonderful night! read more

Super cute and quaint space with patio seating. I do concur with the other reviews on keeping your party to 4 or less. Ideal for 2 people. They have limited seating so I would recommend making a reservation. We came for brunch so no option for chef's table. -lobster omelette was so fluffy with a generous amount of lobster. Added the truffle for $25 -steak tartare is honestly one of the best I've had. One smallll preference would be slightly less of the acidic mustard sauce. I feel like it took away from the natural taste of the bone marrow + steak -caviar and potato app was a delicious bit! Definitely worth a try! We will be back for chef's table dinner. read more

The cozy, casual vibe of Lutéce exudes the intimacy of sharing a meal and an experience. The staff is so professional and knowledgeable but maintain their warmth and generosity of hospitality; no robots or scripts here. The tasting menu is a lovely tour to view the chef's approach to cooking and ingredients. Very French without being stuffy, overly heavy, or traditional in any sense. Just delicious food expertly prepared. They have a substantial and well composed wine menu that complements the food so well. I had an exceptional evening dining here and it's a memory I enjoy revisiting time and time again. read more

We had a truly lovely meal and really enjoyed our evening here. The space is small and the tables close to each other but it didn't feel too loud at all. We really enjoyed our gin, mint, and pineapple cocktails! My wife enjoyed her scallop crudo, but the pumpkin with tahini was truly a star! It was fantastic and I would return just for that. My only suggestion is to get a sharper knife to cut it with. It was tough to slice but man oh man was it worth it. I got the pork with fennel and my wife got the duck breast. We both agreed that the duck was the best. Both had great flavors but the duck was excellent. For dessert we got the honeycomb ice cream with cheese. The first bite is a bit odd but each one after that is delicious! What i really liked about this place was the unique flavors without going overboard. Next time we will try the price fixe menu with wine pairing at the chefs table, if we can get a reservation... read more

So happy to have stumbled into Lutèce today, as I initially intended to try a lattè at Yellow next door. We walked in at about 1:30 and we were able to sit right away. The simple elegant interior and small space really transported me and service was top notch. We leaned into the beef options: the tartare and burger were both probably the best I've ever had. To start we also shared the endive salad, with incredibly balanced bright flavors. Can't wait to come back for a full dinner service. read more

What a glorious experience. On a frosty cold evening this week, I met up with friends visiting from Paris and Lutèce totally rose to the occasion. The space is small, but comfortable (perfect for escaping the pre-winter chill) and everyone on staff greeted us with warm smiles and a relaxed vibe that's not often found in French establishments. Our group of 4 did the four-course chef's choice tasting, which included a couple of bonus "snacks" -- Bangs Island Mussels with coconut, white wine, and parsley; Sourdough Foccacia & cultured butter with basil oil and Marinated Olives & Guindillas. Courses to follow included Golden Ossetra caviar on pomme paillasson with crème fraîche, fresh tuna on a bed of kohlrabi with nduja mayo and ginger, Parisian gnocchi with red kuri squash, sage, and house ricotta, La Belle Farm duck with warren pears, celery root, and sauce bigarade, and sweetbreads with black figs, mizuna, and sauce américaine. There were indulgent desserts, beautiful wines, and great conversation with dear friends. I could not have asked for a more delightful evening read more

Lutèce was hands-down one of the best meals I've had in DC -- thoughtful, seasonal, and beautifully executed from start to finish. Every dish felt elevated without being fussy, and the vibe was relaxed but refined.

Perfect for a special night out or when you just want to treat yourself to something exceptional. Truly a standout. read more

A great evening at this restaurant. Service was great and the food was excellent. We started with the beef tar tar and scallop crudo. The beef tartar you get the punch of funkyness with dry age flavor and then the spice of the other seasonings that give it great balance. Scallop Crudo was well balancec with an acidic lemon taste. The scallops were soft and perfectly cooked. Then for entrees we had amish chicken, parisian gnocchi, and roasted monkfish. Amish chicken was very tender well paired with the sauce which is rich and creamy along with the bead of grains. Overall a very good dish. Parisian gnocchi was very good and had deep flavor. The oyster mushrooms provided a nice savory flavor to the dish. Gnocchi was perfectly cooked and the sauce well balanced. Roasted monkfish was very flaky and rich. The black lentils were well cooked and provided blanced to the dish. We also got deserts baked Alaska and Cromle baked Alaska was good but just be prepared it has a strong liquor taste if thats not your thing cromle has a great cinnamon flavor in the ice cream and well balanced with chocolate cake in the middle. Overall a great restaurant and great atmosphere would return. read more
