    La Piquette is a great neighborhood restaurant for French food. The service was also great. They recognized my note in the reservation that we were celebrating an anniversary and brought out a celebratory drink and put a candle on our dessert at the end of the meal. The food was also great. We ordered escargot and the asparagus salad to start. The escargot was done in a different style than I was used to, but still delicious. The asparagus was a little too simple, (blanched and served with olive oil and some citrus) and a little bit of a disappointment. But the mains (duck breast and steak frite) were excellent. The proteins were perfectly cooked with really great sauces. La Piquette is the place for a solid meal and experience if you're looking for French food in DC.

    La Piquette is a very nice bistro with good food, but the noise level at lunchtime was so high that it was frequently difficult to hear what my guest across the small table was saying. Bottom line: noise level not conducive to a relaxed conversation.
