RO>Someone mentioned that Ledo's is only popular because it's been around
RO>since the 1950's, and I contend that this is precisely the case with
RO>L'Auberge Chez Francois in Great Falls.

RO>There was originally a "Chez Francois" restaurant on Connecticut Ave
RO>that opened (I think) in 1954.  This was probably one of the only
RO>places in town to get an Authentic French meal, much less one from
RO>the Alsace region.  This chef eventually made his way to Great Falls
RO>and opened L'Auberge Chez Francois, which is one of the most charming
RO>restaurants I've seen in this country.

RO>Unfortunately, the food at L'Auberge doesn't live up to its atmosphere
RO>or service.  My wife and I went there recently and I had a boring
RO>seafood salad for an appetizer and dried up choucroutte for an entree.
RO>The raspberry souflee for dessert was a pleasant surprise, as was the
RO>excellent, well-priced Alsatian wine list.

I'd be interested to know what you think about Le Caprice, on Wisconsin
Avenue in Upper Georgetown (just below Calvert Street).  The chef is
Alsatian and IMHO the food is pretty good.  They do prix fixe as well as
a menu a la carte, and I've usually been pretty happy there (although a
glass of port after dinner will wipe your budget *right* out).
