   Wonderful experience! My husband and our two friends made a reservation for a New Year’s Day brunch, we got a great table, but every table has adequate space between so you won’t be on top of another party no matter where you sit. There were coat hangers conveniently around all the tables. The staff is super attentive, professional, knowledgeable, while being kind and upbeat. Just like the ambiance and the staff, the food is incredible! From the coffee, the pastries, the mains, the drinks, the sides, there’s not a single bad bite, in fact, you’re more likely to say “this may be the best thing I’ve ever tried.” Couldn’t recommend this spot enough! Plenty of options that will impress those who like a special dish, but many familiar options that allow anyone to enjoy a delicious meal in a beautiful and wonderfully run restaurant. I hope the staff is compensated well and their value is well known. This place wouldn’t have the level of charm it does without them!

   overall, very very good. food and server were excellent. Bar was a little slow and messed up an order by using ginger beer instead of the requested ginger ale. big difference that they should have known about. Please info people about parking garage when reserving. Parking in that area is difficult. Knowing that there is a garage and how much would be appreciated.

   We went to Petite Cherise for our anniversary dinner. From start to finish, we had a wonderful experience. We had the prix fixe dinner, which included four courses. The snacks were delicious, particularly the Oysters Rockefeller. Our three shareables — Céleri Rãpées, Black Truffle Cavatelli, and Pork Paillard — were great surprises of spices and flavors. We had the Beef Bourguigon as our entree. It was perfectly prepared. The meal was beautifully capped by Chocolate and Salted Caramel Cake and coffee. The service was as fabulous as the food. The staff is professional, friendly, accommodating, and generous. We can’t wait to return.

   We came back as we loved our first time at Petite Cerise. However, this time we didn’t like a few things. Server continuously touching my and my wife’s back and shoulders when he approached the table, really annoying, onion soup too liquid, and s’mores donut a bit burned and overpriced for a pastry.

   We enjoyed our time at Petite Cerise immensely! The food and service were spectacular. Our server was warm and engaging — as were the service director and other staff members. Also, it is a beautiful restaurant with a contemporary but cozy feel.

   We had a lovely evening celebrating a special occasion. The food was delicious and a good overall value for the quality of the prix fixe menu. The staff were all extremely attentive and thoughtful. Would highly recommend Petite Cerise for a relaxed and enjoyable date night!

   This was one of the more disappointing dinners I’ve had recently. Really surprising since we previously enjoyed it for drinks/snacks and we love the Dabney. But many of the dishes were poorly conceived and the service was exceedingly slow. Puff pastry was way too thick on the snapper. I love Szechuan but it didn’t go well with the scallops and grapefruit. For the service, everything was smooth at first, but after the snacks were delivered the service and attentiveness dropped off. Ultimately, a pretty standard meal took two hours with no explanation for the extended delay between courses. There are just too many good restaurants at this price point for this to be a competitive meal.

   We didn’t know what to expect from Petite Cerise, it was our first time. Dinner was delicious, service was excellent and to be honest I can’t think of a negative thing to say. Prix Fixe menu is the best way to taste different options from the menu and don’t forget to try the Parisian Gnocchi, fantastic!

    La Petite Cerise is a rare jewel in the District of Columbia. You will want to dine there frequently to enjoy dishes that reflect the fruits, vegetables and specialties of each season. Do not miss having a cup of Dabnog for the holidays. An absolute MUST dining experience.
