On a more modest level someplace to consider as well might be Cafe Larouche
(apologies for spelling...nothing to do with Lyndon either)
They have at least 2 locations (unless things have changed it's been a couple
of years) Georgetown on Thomas Jefferson betw M & K and White Flint Mall
in Rockville.


I thought CHezFrancois was actually more like $150 per couple but I've never
been there for that precise reason.

There is a great little French restaurant in Crystal City, at the corner of
23rd St and Eads, called Chez Froggy.  It is small, short on atmosphere, but
not nearly as pretentious as other French places I have been.  The service has
always been superior, and the food is out of this world.  I would recommend the
Rack of Lamb, the Beef Wellington, or any of the fish. And save room for 
dessert!

I'll second the vote for Chez Froggy! It's one of our favorites.
And don't miss the frog collection!

What about the prices? I'd be interested to find someplace which was
affordable and didn't offer insultingly small portions.

I tried Le Rivage (1000 Water Street, SW) the other night. Good food,
fair prices, fine service. Entrees ran $13-$18, appetizers about $3-6.
Unfortunately, wines were $20 and up, and the Benedictine clocked in
at $6 each!  I'd go back, but skip the alcohol :-)

I'd *never* return to La Brasserie (about 2nd and Mass Ave, NE) --
even with a discount coupon, we paid about $50 each (*sans* alcohol)
and were ready to head over to Cafe Berlin (across the street) for a
*real* meal -- the tiniest portions I've ever seen: entrees the size
of most place's appetizers. Bleh!

The restaurants I've been to in Paris were affordable, had excellent
service, were *not* pretentious, and had portions you could live off.
Of course the food was fine. From whence did this nonsense of American
pseudo-French restaurants come?

There is a place called La Nicoise on Wisconsin Ave. at the top of Georgetown w
hich is absolutely fantastic.  The waiters wear rollerskates but the place is s
till very chic.  The walls are painted with scenes from France, the cuisine
is the best of french, and the prices are not too too bad, although I wouldn't
go so far as to say very reasonable.

I was there once several years and I found the food good and the prices
weren't too bad for a french restaurant. Though I've always wondered
what makes French food so special to warrant its cost. But anyway, La
Nicoise has a somewhat risque show after the meal is served, where the
wait-people perform in the show. Just one word of warning - Don't sit
too close to the stage. You might get a little wet.
