Le Sel French Bistro — Restaurant in Washington

I recently had the pleasure of dining at LeSel, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. Typically, my experiences with hotel-affiliated restaurants have been less than stellar, but LeSel is a fantastic exception.

From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance was inviting and elegant, creating a perfect setting for a memorable meal. The atmosphere combined with the beautifully presented dishes made for an exceptional dining experience.

Our server, Malcolm, deserves special mention. He was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that our every need was met with a smile. His warm demeanor and professionalism added a personal touch that truly enhanced our visit.

As for the food, it was nothing short of amazing. We ordered the salmon and the American breakfast, and both dishes were a hit with everyone in our party. The salmon was cooked to perfection, and the breakfast was hearty and satisfying. Each bite was a testament to the chef's skill and dedication to quality.

In conclusion, LeSel stands out as a shining example of what a hotel-affiliated restaurant can achieve. With its delightful ambiance, superb food, and outstanding service, it has set a new standard for my dining experiences. I highly recommend LeSel for anyone looking to enjoy a...

I reserved a table at this resturant for our 9 year anniversary. My spouse loves a great French cuisine so this place was a no brainer but a new experience. If you are looking for an environment that is non bias, welcomes you with open arms, is very accommodating to the customer with a family and friendly atmosphere look no more. I celebrated my wedding aniversary here, made some new friends in one day and enjoyed the food, staff and atmosphere. This place is very nice. We were very fortunate to converse with the chef and general manager about the menu and history of the hotel and food. Great experience. Dont take my word for it or by reading this review. Go try it out yourself and go create your own wonderful experience like we did on our wedding anniversary! We will definitely return because of the family and friendly atmosphere and also the great.food created by the chef and the amazing atmosphere demanded by the general manager Abass. Please ask for him you will not regret it. You will regret if you do not meet him and the chef. What a great team and full showcase of...

This is one of the better DC food experiences I have had but I am a bit confused with the ambiance of the place in general.

Find out why?!

From the looks of it Le Sel gives of old bougie American Diner vibe but the food tells a different story.

The food doesn’t really go with the ambiance of this place but the chef @ Le Sel definitely know what they are doing.

The ousters appetizer was remarkable. So much added flavor brought that slurp clears throat to life. Yes it is a slurp sound, stop complaining.

Grilled Octopus was perfect and just giving you so many flavor profiles. I would like to give the chef 10/10 just for how well this was cooked.

My last dish was duck over lentils and this was amazing. I could not imagine masoor lentils tasting so well with the duck. 10/10 for creativity.

Portions were small though. A big boy like me has a big stomach and that stomach wasn’t half full.

Service was top notch. The servers also get 10/10

Over all a really good food experience. Confused ambiance.
