This place was amazing! The decor was modern chic, everyone was attentive to our needs without hovering. The food was as delicious as it was beautiful!
The salad was perfectly crisp and fresh with Gorgonzola and plum and a light but flavorful dressing. We shared one and were so pleasantly surprised that they split it for us. It was of perfect size.
I highly recommend the black cod. It was buttery with a thin and crispy, well seasoned skin. The sauce surrounding it was so velvety with just the right amount of richness and texture from the roe. My daughter had the duck, which was cooked perfectly with lots of surrounding flavors. She only wished there were a bit more duck on her plate.
The desert was a piece of art with a honeycomb lace topping, crisp meringue, and a burst of fruit flavor with every bite.
We dined at another local restaurant the next night with a Michelin star and I must say I was disappointed to say the least.
I totally expect La Bise to become Michelin star soon. It was by far the best restaurant I’ve dined in both creativity, beauty, and flavor, and at such a fair price.

La Bise is in the same space as the Oval Room, another French restaurant.  My dining companion said she read that the two restaurants are or were affiliated. We visited because my dining companion said she had wanted to try La Bise for some time, and it was near her office. The restaurant is nicely decorated.  We started with Gougeres, puff pastry filled with cheese.  Delicious.  I could have made a meal out of the appetizer (if there were more of them per serving.).  For a main course, we ordered the Alaska Black Cod and Grilled Snapper.  The snapper came with a coconut-lobster bisque.  Highly recommend the bisque.  The snapper was a little fishy but the Cod was exquisite and fresh. Our server was a delight.  We did not order dessert but  she brought us bite-sized cookies; peanut butter fudge, snickerdoodles, and a strawberry something.  She said that if we ate all three at the same time, it would taste like the best PB&J ever.  The restaurant charges a 20 percent gratuity, like a number of D.C. restaurants.

Overall food was not bad. The French onion was excellent, the texture itself is more condensed that the other onion soup that we usually have but it was very nice. However, the chocolate soufflé was a huge disappointment, it is probably one of the worse soufflé I ever had, why the pastry chef decided to put dried fruit inside a soufflé is a mastery and for a chocolate soufflé to have NO chocolate taste at all is a disaster. The veal sweetbreads is actually surprisingly good, the sauce itself covered any gamey taste of the sweetbreads and it is quite tender and smooth. Also one addition note, the complimentary bread was served cold which is okay if it is summer time but when it winter where customers just came from a freezing weather, having cold bread might not give the guest a good impression at all. Service wise is a mix feeling, the waitress asked what we want to drink and she just walked away while we were placing the order……the same waitress however is very helpful when you ask for recommendations on the main course………atmosphere wise the place is kind of like a modern version of French bistro instead of the traditional ones, a little bit chic and less formal which is nice.

A treasure! Wonderful place to eat, right by The White House. The service is excellent, my server always made sure I was satisfied with my meal. The ambiance chic and elegant. The food was just the right portion. It may look small but let me tell you I left pleasantly satisfied.   Thank you for such a wonderful experience. Will definitely come back again.
