Love this place on H street. Authentic French food with a great wine list. My favorite dish is the lamb entree, but everything I've had on the menu is great. The service is also excellent. They help make sure you get exactly what you want and offer great recommendations.

Nice building, weird nonsensical decor (on the same wall: some fake vintage capitals, an old picture of a random family, some oxidated trombones and a punching ball) with some beautiful pieces of furniture. Weird layout of the tables (we were sandwiched between the live band and the counter). Tiny table and chairs, but that could pass as "authentic". Decent service yet chaotic: I counted EIGHT people running around tables and the place was not very busy, it seemed like a lot of traffic and disorganized movement. We ordered two starters and a big charcuterie plate to share after that. It all came at the same time making the little table very crammed.
The escargots were bitter (which generally means they weren't cleaned properly at the source) but the rest of the dishes were good.
What I found pretty out of place was getting paper napkins (really???!) Lastly the $10 glass of wine was served in the tiniest wine glass I've ever seen. Good wine selection however.
The live music (classic French songs) was a nice touch, but the acoustic guitar with an amplified voice made it quite loud for tables close to it. I'd go for full acoustic if I were them.
I'd probably go back to try the bar and give their drinks a go, but all and all the experience was bland. The bill was surprisingly decent however. Lots of potential I think, but needs better management and a more defined direction.response / report this review -

OK food, French inspired. The atmosphere is cozy, and it feels like a brasserie. The staff seemed completely lost, and don't seem trained on basic table service/bussing

Might have simply been an off day, but the service upstairs left a lot to be desired. Waited more than 40 minutes for first drink order.

Ate here on a visit to DC - WONDERFUL. My mom and I were immediately seated on a Saturday evening and were quickly served water and warm baguettes with fresh butter. We ordered two glasses of chardonnay and the chicken and salmon entrees. Everything was delicious and fresh - our favorite was the salmon with the goat cheese tart and the cucumber sorbet. Service and food were phenomenal and we considered the price a bargain for what we got. HIGHLY recommend!

While everyone loves Le Diplomat, I find this place the best French bistro in DC. It's small but very comfortable and authentic. I stumbled across this place because it was apart of the DC Passport (buy one, get one summer program) and glad I found it. Perfect for a date

Excellent food and wine selections. Plates are unique but traditional well balanced delicacies. Plan to get a few apps (sized xs). Ambiance is wonderful. Lighting and staff are friendly and romantic.

Escape D.C. for an up-casual dinner in France! Great menu for everyone, hospitable and charming staff with full bar! Two words: cheese plate.

I ignorantly avoided this place at first because I thought it would be super expensive. Shame on me. Happy hour wine specials are fantastic all week long. Chocolate mousse dessert was amazing, not too rich. I'm going back for the entrée menu they look to be very good prices for classic French fare that smells and looks delicious.

I keep thinking about trying new places to eat out in DC but I always end up back here; and I'm never disappointed. I haven't been to tons of restaurants in DC but I've been to a fair few and Le Grenier is my favorite. EVERYTHING is wonderful: service, atmosphere, cocktails, and most definitely the food. Excellent menu with a lot of selections for all courses. I am always sad to leave but always look forward to the next time!
