The food, the staff the work the front desk people have to do, its well done and amazing. Thanks as always.

   Overpriced food for an overhyped place. Nothing special about it to justify the pricing and presumptuous ambience of it.

   Outstanding as always! We are frequent diners at Parc in Philadelphia. Le Diplomate is almost identical and just as terrific. Tuna carpaccio unique and delicious. Veal escalop, fries warm shrimp salad.. one can’t go wrong. Service always attentive. Of course the bread is absolutely incredible and a highlight. 5 stars!

   Le Diplomate deserves all the raves and enthusiasm it inspires. Our experience at a celebratory dinner was wonderful. The little touches--dollop of fois gras on the charcuterie platter--make it very special. The trout amandine, veal escalope, scallops, and salade verte were all superb; the bistro classic, beef bourguignon, was good but not spectacular. The salad had a rare freshness. The profiteroles are always magnificent and the baba armagnac was, to us, a new favorite. The service was excellent, especially since the couple joining us were very late, but the waiter and staff responded with consideration and warmth. It's a place for special occasions; alas, the difficulty in booking makes impromptu stops a la bistros not possible.

   Underwhelmed by our experience at Le Diplomate. The restaurant was extraordinarily loud, making it difficult to have a conversation. Everything we had was tasty, but only the Chocolate Pot de Creme was good enough to likely bring us back. There were a couple of mistakes with our dishes, but the wait staff was hard to find, so we just stuck with what we got. It was definitely a satisfying meal, but given Le Diplomate's reputation, we expected much better.

    The wine list was outrageously high. Loved the Tuna carpaccio. It was delicate and flavorful. The salad was light, with buttery leaves of lettuce and green beans. With a light vinaigrette and thin slices of onions and radishes. Beef Bourgeon was a little too salty. The beef tender and a nice sauce. Accompanying the meat was mashed potatoes.

    I am a dc native and for LD, you expect service to be more than flawless. We had a very poor experience with a passive, disinterested server. Our food came before drinks, something was missed, other requests for the most part accommodated by another lovely server. He didn’t seem to be bothered when we noted the sequence. We will be back but the mood for our experience was dim. Any restaurant, despite popularity, should hold their bar high for service.

    I brought my fiancé for the first time for his birthday. He had been wanting to try this restaurant since he loves French food. I had the duck confit, but something within the dish tasted very salty. I am not sure if it was maybe the potatoes or the sauce. Additionally, he had the steak with Pom frites, he felt the sauce for the steak was very “oniony” and left a taste that made him queezy. Additionally, the ricotta ravioli almost felt like it was frozen and reheated, it did not feel fresh. While the service was great, the food made me feel embarrassed that he did not have the experience I expected him to have for his first time here.

    Good onion soup and probably the best Dover sole ever! Nice dessert but the crème l’orange should have more orange slices and orange zest throughout.

    Delicious trout almadine, but very heavy on the butter and almonds, so make sure you like rich food. Service was good, but not exceptional. You can tell they have a shortage of staff.
