The Restaurant at Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square

"The hotel's ICI Urban Bistro restaurant and Le Bar lounge are popular gathering spots, especially in pleasant weather, when urbanistas jam ICI's terrace tables"

"The restaurant serves refined French cuisine"

""Incredible" service soars "above all expectations" at this "outstanding", "luxurious" and historic property also boasting "modern, elegant" accommodations (with marble bathrooms featuring separate tubs and showers) plus a "primo" location just "a quick walk" from the White House; amenities include a complimentary fitness center and an "enjoyable" restaurant and bar, so though some say "the price is a premium", couples on "romantic getaways" and business travelers agree it's a "top-drawer choice"

"Both the bistro restaurant and chic bar offer Parisian character, as well as tongue-twisting French appetizers, but the menu is mostly straight-up international (for example, roasted chicken, braised prime beef, grilled rib eye)"
