Bistrot Lepic Review

Relaxed and upbeat, with bright yellow walls and colorful paintings, this small, crowded neighborhood bistro is French in every regard—starting with the flirty servers. Traditional bistro fare has been replaced with potato-crusted salmon served with French grapes and ouzo-grape sauce. Some standards, like veal cheeks, remain. The wine is all French, with many wines available by the glass. The wine bar on the second floor has a menu of small plates such as terrine of foie gras, smoked-trout salad, and onion-bacon tart. On this level, seating is first-come, first-served, but if you reserve your spot in advance, you can order from the full menu.

    I'm from DC, and had heard good things about this restaurant-either they've changed chefs or owners, but the food, in a word, was TERRIBLE. I actually got a bit sick from this fish dish that was not only mushy, but overly salted, the owners were so upset that they gave us the desserts gratis-the table next to me told the server the same thing-way too salty. My friend's veal was okay, but nothing special. I would not recommend this place, nor would I ever go back
