Such a great experience. Service- everyone we interacted was friendly, helpful, and professional. Super attentive. Drinks-large wine selection and great cocktails. Rob was helpful in wine selection. Food-creative menu and dishes we got were flavorful and fresh. The steak was cooked just right, monkfish was light and buttery, and trout really delicate. The Brussel sprouts, cauliflower and truffle fries complimented our meal perfectly. Happy hour- can be done at bar or tables. Vibe- cozy and classy. Special shoutout to Houriya. First off, her attire and vibe were impeccable. She was so pleasant from beginning to end. Explaining flavor profiles of dishes, brought me wine spray when I spilled, and took great care of us.

Ooof, honestly pretty surprised to see how highly reviewed Amelie is. We came by for Valentine's Day and tried their pre-fix menu. We appreciated the amuse bouche and complementary champagne, but unfortunately everything else fell flat. We tried their oysters as an app, and I didn't care for the yuzu addition; I would've preferred standard oysters. We both ordered the steak medium rare, and unfortunately both dishes were room temp. The steak had clearly been sitting out under a heat lamp and the ends were dry. My apple tarte desert was inedible and tasted microwaved (I'm pretty sure it was).There are so many excellent French restaurants in DC, even on 14th street alone. I would personally never return nor recommend Amelie to a friend. While our waitress was kind and apologetic, the service was also very slow.

Came to Amelie for restaurant week and had a wonderful time! Came in a Wednesday night around 7:30 to a very busy restaurant. We had a reservation but had to wait ~5-10 minutes before being seated. The restaurant is beautiful! Very cozy and casual with a touch of glamor. They have some good cocktail and mocktail options as well as a nice wine list. I went for a non-alcoholic grapefruit soda which was exactly what I was in the mood for and served in a nice high ball glass with a lemon. So happy to see an actual lemon wedge! The dried fruit wheels are pretty but I like squeezing actual lemon into my drink.To start I had a mushroom toast which was a HUGE portion. It was tasty and filling, I only ate half to save room. The coq a vin was the star of the show for my main. Every bite was decadent and the portion was generous and beautifully served. To finish I had a decaf americano with creme brulee. The cream brulee didn't quite do it for me, the texture was a but off and it was very very fluffy and egg forward without enough sweetness, I still enjoyed it but couldn't say it was my favorite creme brulee.All of the staff are excellent, super professional and welcoming. A manager greeted us to ask how we enjoyed everything which I personally always appreciate.Overall I had a great time and would love to come back for brunch. If you go for dinner, the coq a vin is a must!!

This place is very cute. The staff is amazing. The food is good however I felt like my food could have used some more seasoning. On Sundays and Mondays they have a special: An order of Mussels and Fries with a beer or wine for $25 or $21 I believe.

I am here for a snack with some friends. I got my favorite French dish - escargots and it was wonderful! The service was quick and easy and happy hour was available everywhere. I loved the Christmas decorations also. The ambiance is wonderful. I can't wait to come back here again for a full dinner!

Would gladly come back! I'm not the biggest fan of French food but this place tops the list for me of French restaurants in DC to visit. The steak was great, perfectly cooked and juicy. My friend got the chicken which was heavily seasoned (almost a bit too salty for me) but was still delicious Their bread was to die for, and their escargot was amazing! I prefer it over the other escargot I've had in the city (e.g., le dip, la grande boucherie)

Decent place for French fare and service. Somewhat loud and food could be better.Smoked cauliflower - goodSalade de chevre chaud - the goat cheese was more of a rubbery disk atop the salad, not gooey and moistGoat cheese ball - this had a nice sweet sauce (honey/onions) and was not too much for 1 person as a starterPear tarte tatin - disappointment, not traditional style but a few pieces of puff pastry scattered around warm pearRavioles du Royans - tiny butternut squash cubes amid the comte-filled mini ravioli, this was a decent portion and although heavy, a good comforting dishThe wines I tried varied (but I like they classify 'tres bon' / 'excellent') and the Sancerre blanc was indeed excellent.It was unfortunate (and not very French) that they ask to take away plates (despite there still clearly being food on them). But the waitresses were pro and I appreciate they don't tack on an automatic service fee.Tip: you might want to sit toward the back if you prefer being away from cool air (the front windows are sometimes open, depending on the weather).

Amelie is a perfect neighborhood wine bar!! The space is beautiful here with lots of seats and big windows. The wine was great without being too expensive, and I was surprised by how great the food was too! I only shared appetizers but would come back for a full meal! A highlight was the delicious (and very full) baguette basket, which was a perfect complement to the mussels (which were some of the best I've had in this neighborhood!). I also highly recommend the Brussels sprouts!

The room, the music, the staff and the food are very nice. Just a solid neighborhood restaurant with food and ambiance, service done well. Had steak Frites and apple tartin. Both standards done well. Only issue was there didn't seem to be many champagnes by the glass.
