Apéro

This is a great spot for a girls' night with close friends. It's small but intimate, with a dark, cozy interior. They offer excellent caviar service with a wide variety to choose from (note that their caviar service comes with potato chips, not blinis). The staff is super friendly and highly knowledgeable about their offerings.It's a fun experience to splurge on, and I've heard they have a great happy hour. The two caviars we tried were delicious, and the staff's guidance helped us better understand the differences between them. The truffle gougères and French ham sandwich were also tasty, though the onion dip was just okay for me.

My girlfriend and I go out 1x a year to celebrate the holidays and keep up our gift exchange "tradition" by taking ourselves out to a bougie/fancy meal, and this year it was my turn to pick the location. I stumbled upon Apero while reviewing Yelp recommendations and was instantly impressed! my gf had never had caviar service before, so I knew this had to be the experience for this year. I was drawn in by the Michelin stars too.Upon walking in, it's instantly clear this is a hole in the wall/hidden gem like spot. The interior was nicely decorated, modern and complementary to the vibe they cultivate here. Upon walking in I was seated, as I made a reservation and found parking right out front. I was asked whether I wanted sparking or still and I opted for the bottle of still. The server was busy tending to many tables and once my guest arrived he came around to ask if this was a "birthday". I explained to him that upon making the reservation I labeled it a special event and he corrected me by saying "so....not a birthday". From there it seemed the attention waned. I understand this is a cozy spot but it felt as if they were rushing us quite often, even when tables were vacant. This restaurant automatically charges patrons 22.5% tip so I would expect stellar service. The food was honestly, remarkable. The deviled eggs with the house caviar was delectable and decadent. The house caviar was on the briny salty side so it worked with the appetizer. We also got the oysters with the pear mignonette. It all came ready to eat with the vinegar already perfectly portioned per shell. I booked for brunch, kind of expecting the lunch menu to be available to order the caviar tagatelli, but only brunch was offered. We split the pear salad and that was scrumptious too! We topped it off with a caviar selection that was more on the creamy and less briny scale and the chips and accoutrements were awesome. I didn't quite understand the waffles. We didn't quite love them. When we wanted more chips he insisted he would run it as an extra charge so we decided not to.We got 2 beverages each- one glass of champagne and one espresso martini. They are well known for their caviar and champagne so we just had to indulge in some bubbly. I asked for a sweeter option but ultimately settled for a brut champagne which was very nice. The espresso tini was very strong! Loved it! We ended the evening with the baba (cake soaked in rum) and braised apples. The apples retained their tartness and it was so yummy. We ordered tea as well. I had to ask for cream and honey. Overall, this place is worth a visit. Food gets 5 stars for sure, service is really the only reason this review isn't 5 stars. Keep in mind the preferred 2 hour block of seating time if you want to keep prompt and friendly service. The items we ordered were absolutely lovely. My special event was a hit!

Apero is a hidden gem in DC!!!Tucked away in Georgetown, you could easily walk by it and never know. If you did walk by it I promise you that you would be missing out. First off, thank you Zina for an amazing experience. Zina was my server and she is the best of the best!! Some of the absolute best service I have ever had. I hope that when you visit she is working!! The food is top notch, everything was perfect. Not only is the food delicious but is presented perfectly. The highlight has to be their caviar selection. Let their servers help navigate their huge selection and then sit back and enjoy. The restaurant itself is an old row home that has been renovated beautifully. It's small but cozy and makes you feel warm and invited. Please go and enjoy, and if it's in the menu get the deviled eggs too!!!

okay how come I didn't know there was martini service in DC??!? as a dirty gin martini lover I was pleasantly surprised by apero's martini service complete with olives, an oyster and a caviar bump on potato chip --- this was DIVINE!

While I don't typically go for French food, Apéro is a restaurant I'd visit again and again. Everything I ate was delicious and each cocktail was better than the last. I also felt the waitstaff was very attentive to what the table needed. I appreciated my water glass staying full, and the table being regularly cleared. I look forward to returning for their Caviar Hour

I really like this place after stumbling in after a concert. Good service from host and bar tender. Sat the bar. Decor is relax but also a bit romantic. So, nice for a date. The bar stools are a bit worn though. I guess they are known for caviar and champagne but that was not our f&b though. Good wine selection.charcuterie board - that's just standard i would say but good for the wine bottleRadicchio salad - great salad that fits the bill although this may not blow your feet awayDevils egg - beautiful and i guess you see many pics and it taste goodBread pudding - perfect finish and as good as the salad

Apero was amazing. I loved the caviar selection and the wine list was extensive. We all enjoyed the caviar happy hour and deviled eggs at the bar. Great value! The service was amazing and I definitely will return for reservations for a meal and table service.

Awful customer experience. Called the restaurant the morning of a dinner reservation to cancel because people in our party were sick. The person who answered said they would cancel it for us with no mention of a cancellation fee. I then see a $100 cancellation fee show up on my credit card and reach out to the restaurant and the manager Corbin refuses to refund the cancellation fee.

I LOVE THE CAVIAR HAPPY HOUR!! It's an amazing deal and in such a pretty atmosphere is all around an elevated experience. The caviar and accoutrements are an amazing set, and I didn't order anything else and left very happy. But I would also be excited to try more dishes, which all looked great and matched the level of a caviar experience. I can't wait to come back!

Really loved coming here. It may be my new fav hidden gem. Years and years ago this was a cute little coffee shop and am glad that the space is being used again. I brought my mom here for brunch and we asked to sit on the patio which was very nice. I did love the inside however and think it would be a great date night spot. Has sexy vibes haha. For food we got the croque madam and the crepes and shared, but absolutely everything we saw coming out looked so good and we were sad we didn't order more. My one critique is I did want some frites or some such potato option and there didn't seem to be any available. Not sure if that's the American in me, but can a girl get some fries with her breakfast ?! I did see they have a hh, caviar/champagne special for $44, which I think will be my next thing to try here.
