" After hearing so much about La Chaumière, I finally made it there and it lived up to the hype! The restaurant exudes charm with its warm service and authentic French fare. My partner had the salmon en croûte and said it was delightful. I opted for the stout stew which was tender and rich. The service was attentive without being overbearing. And the chocolate soufflé? To die for! I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a special night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were recommended La Chaumière for our anniversary dinner, and we were not disappointed! The service was impeccable; our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We shared the charcuterie board for starters, which was deliciously rich. For mains, I had the venison, seasoned perfectly and so tender. The highlight was definitely the dessert soufflé—it was ethereal! The ambiance created an intimate vibe, making our celebration extra special. We will definitely come back next time we find ourselves in D.C.! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently took my family to La Chaumière for a special celebration, and it was wonderful from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We tried several dishes, including the baked oysters and duck confit—all were perfectly executed and tasted just like what you'd find in France. Our server was exceptionally nice, ensuring our glasses were never empty and recommending the perfect wine pairing. This restaurant truly feels like a slice of France in D.C., so don't miss out on it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, my partner and I had dinner at La Chaumière, and it exceeded all our expectations. The ambiance is incredibly cozy, akin to a French village restaurant. We started with the French onion soup, which was so flavorful and comforting. For our main courses, we had the steak au poivre and the rainbow trout. Both were cooked to perfection and bursting with authentic flavors. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, making our dining experience truly enjoyable. And don’t skip dessert! The soufflé was the best I have ever had. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at La Chaumière was absolutely outstanding! Celebrating a birthday, we were greeted warmly upon arrival. We sampled the mussels and they were quite exceptional—brimming with flavor and impeccably fresh. I had the duck breast, and I can honestly say it was the best I’ve had outside of France! The wine pairings recommended by our server were perfect as well. To top it off, the ambiance is cozy with impeccable service. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely experience at La Chaumière! From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was in a quaint French restaurant. I had the pike dumplings which were delightful, although I would have liked a bit more seasoning. However, my companion's duck was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. I also loved the friendly service—my waiter was attentive and made great recommendations. The prices did seem a bit high, but the quality of the food justified it. " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited La Chaumière upon a friend's recommendation, and we were very pleased! The dining area has a cozy, French feel to it—definitely a nice atmosphere! I tried the softshell crab special while my partner enjoyed the steak, which was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The highlight was the soufflé; we both were amazed at how fluffy and delicious it was. On the downside, service was a bit slow, but they were very friendly and welcoming. " (*Curated Review*)
