    • Description:

    • What can we say?  This restaurant is legendary in DC, and its celeb chef, Michel Richard, is admired the world over.  You'll pay handsomely for dinner here, but it's a meal you're not likely to forget: the freshest meats and fishes available, playful touches to standard French classics like foie gras and escargot, and sumptuous vegetarian options.  Consider dining at the lounge if you'd like to experience Citronelle on a slightly smaller budget.
