Fantastic service! Our waitress was very attentive, polite, friendly and had great recommendations. She and the staff brought comp champagne & put a candle in our dessert for my mom's birthday. The food was terrific. The atmosphere was intimate cozy and just delightful. Can not say enough good things & we were so happy to celebrate my mom's 85th here. A forever memory!!! We will be back soon!

This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants. The new chef has delicious new items on the menu. Service is always outstanding. The dining room is quiet enough to hold a conversation without raising one’s voice, a rarity in DC. So what’s not to love?

Staff was great, french pasta is handmade and was absolutely delicious on both our plates, Short Rib Lasagna & Pappardelle. Crispy Brussel Sprouts were definitely crispy and delicious with pickled onions. The cocktails were great. We needed a good dinner our first night in town and Opaline delivered. Thank you.

The food and service here are terrific. We’ve been a few times. Highly recommend the beet tartar and all of the deserts are delicious. It’s a bit noisy but our table of 5 still had a great time. Thank you, Rosemary Bistro.
