All of the food we had was actually very good. However, service was slow, somethings, we ordered, did not come, and other things came, that were not ordered.  The charcuterie board in particular was spectacular. Interesting drinks based on the first ladies, but pricey.

We have always loved Tersiguels, but we had not been back since the new format of the fixed chefs menu. We looked on Facebook to see what this weeks menu was, and thought we would try it, even though some of the things listed were not our favorite choices. We ended up being amazed by how things we didn’t even like we’re transformed by the creative Expert touch of the chef. It’s really one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. Charlie is so incredibly welcoming and explain some of the unusual ingredients that we were not familiar with, although we loved them. We added the wine pairing which we felt was a great value and complemented the meal perfectly. The ambience is perfect, quiet piano music, gentle lighting, and enough room between the tables that you weren’t hearing everyone else’s conversation, as happens in some restaurants. We were absolutely delighted, and plan to return soon. Highly recommend.

One of our 4 diners wasn't able to come, but our party of 3 had a wonderful evening! Each of us ordered the short rib Comfort Meal, which was outstanding. Kristen was our outstanding server, and Chris added some humor having to do with the large Beaujolais wine glasses: although I was the only one drinking red wine, we all wound up with that big glass -- one with white wine and the other with iced tea! We all had a good chuckle over that!

Our waiter Alek provided us with polished, friendly and unhurried service which allowed us to decompress and enjoy our cocktails and dinner. The food was incredible as always, fresh, creative and a perfect blend of flavours complemented the main protein of the dish. We ended with great coffee and bread pudding and walked away full and satisfied. Thank you to the staff of Muriel’s - have a great 2023!

Great classic ambiance and highly luxurious location overall. The food though, some of the most amazing Mediterranean style food we have had in DC. Great job to management for hiring great employees like Sofiane and overseeing a quality operation.

Before last night, we were last in this space in early March 2020, the folks we met there for drinks and we were talking about should we shake hands etc...with this virus thing everyone is talking about. Then the world changed. Happy to say this establishment has changed for the better. Fantastic flights of wine at downright reasonable prices for DC. The food we had was delicious, in particular the eggplant and the amply sized five item charcuterie board. Conveniently located near several entertainment venues, we are thrilled to have a great drinks and dinner place to add to our regulars. Oh and the staff was friendly, helpful and quick witted. Enjoy.

La Petite Grocery was as wonderful as it was reputed to be. I went for the blue crab beignets, which were absolutely the best beignets I can imagine. The quantities of food were manageable, appreciated so that there was room for dessert. And the desserts were particularly complex and interesting - we tried all four.

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the service was excellent. Every course was delicious and visually pleasing. The bread service was delicious with the sugar cane butter. We had crab beignets and boudin appetizers followed by the short rib with lobster and pork chops. Couldn’t resist trying the crème brûlée bread pudding and it did not disappoint. We were celebrating our 29th anniversary and they really made our anniversary dinner special! We will definitely be back!!!

All of it was prepared impeccably, and had flavours and textures I’d never tried before. The service was wonderful - we had Melvin, and he was personable and kind and efficient and a GREAT dancer. Could not recommend this more highly, and will be making a point to come back!
