Beautiful, comfortable dining room and not too noisy. I had the Scottish salmon and it was fantastic. My partner had the roast chicken, and that was very good, too. Excellent wines, although it would be nice if there were more than one chardonnay on the menu (and if one was priced less than $19 a glass). I had the Cotes du Rhone, and it was delicious with the beurre rouge salmon. Chez Billy lived up to its reputation, and I look forward to returning for dinner after their renovation is complete.

Always worth the drive from DC to this amazing restaurant. Saeed, owner and official greeter is outgoing, articulate and knows the restaurant business. Our waiter, Henry, is organized and knows the menu. He monitors the flow of our meal and each course was delivered on time and at the correct temperature. Wine list is abundant, will suit any taste but will not break the bank. Saeed makes a phenomenal Irish coffee at your table. Never a parking problem and the food is A+. I shall return!!

Food, ambiance, and service was amazing. Only issue was that the French toast was too fancy for the pallet of a seven year old.

Crab stuffed shrimp were excellent. Filet was mediocre. There was too much dressing on the Caesar Salad and the Lobster Bisque was so-so. The bread was great and the service superb.

The food was cooked well. The drinks were superb. The ambience was great. The seating is a bit congested, depending on where you are seated. The main course took an hour to arrive and one appetizer never arrived to the table. Overall, it was a good experience.
