" A hidden gem near the Wharf! The duck confit was perfectly tender and flavorful. I appreciated the freshness and quality of the ingredients. My server was kind, but I waited longer than I expected for my meal. Overall, it was a lovely experience that I would recommend to others. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bistro Du Jour is a delightful cafe! I enjoyed a scrumptious breakfast with a beautiful view. The coffee was robust, and the croissant was warm and flaky. My friends loved their dishes too. Only issue was the staff's speed, which could use improvement. I will visit again for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I expected more from Bistro Du Jour, but left feeling only moderately satisfied. The food was good but not outstanding. The service had its ups and downs, and the ambiance felt somewhat lacking in character compared to other nearby establishments. It’s not a bad place but not my favorite. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bistro Du Jour was the highlight of my trip to DC! They had the perfect blend of delicious food and a warm atmosphere. The service was excellent, and I enjoyed chatting with my server about wine pairings. Highly recommend the quiche and tart, and definitely save room for dessert! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bistro Du Jour is a decent place to grab a bite. I enjoyed their French onion soup, which was flavorful and satisfying. The service was prompt, but the atmosphere felt a bit crowded. I appreciate the authenticity in their offerings, but I think there are better options in the area if you're looking for a more attentive dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this place! The pastries are simply divine, especially the almond croissant which I couldn’t get enough of. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a lazy Sunday brunch. Service was friendly but a tad slow. Still, I highly recommend stopping by when in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" The seafood platter was a generous portion and quite satisfying, but the edges of the plate didn’t showcase the freshness I’d hoped for. The service was attentive, but the impertinence of some staff was notable. Worth a visit if in the area, particularly for their pastries. " (*Curated Review*)
