What people say, in short
Lutèce in Georgetown draws strong recommendations for French cooking. One diner calls it the best food they ate in DC, and another recommends its tasting menu. A commenter suggests it as relatively quiet, while a separate solo-dining recommendation favors a bar seat. Two visitors were disappointed by brunch and its value, while another argues dinner is the meal to judge it by. Cost remains a consideration alongside the enthusiasm.
