4. Café Saint-Ex & Gate 54

U STREET.   Everybody's welcome at this cozy 14th Street bistro-bar, where folks gather at the close of the work day to enjoy each other's company, the European-style atmosphere and terrific prices on everything from a glass of Stella Artois to a bottle of 2003 Torbreck Woodcutter's Shiraz. Another feather in Saint-Ex's cap is its menu, which features striped bass with lemon pesto and a BLT made with fried green tomatoes. Downstairs is Gate 54, a hangar-inspired lounge that's a comfortable place for listening to DJ-spun tunes and conversing with the lovely clientele. METRO: U Street   (© 10Best)

A charming restaurant and lounge that combines a classic bistro-café ambience with vintage aviation decor. The exquisite and eclectic menu is sure to satisfy all. (from Southern Living)

Horrible I had the worst culinary experience of my life there (twice). The ambiance matches the food perfectly. Overcooked and flavorless food, spilled beer and slow service, overpriced for what it is; rowdy and drunk kids on the best nights...the most overrated place in town. Nice decor, patio, and great location are the only +s. My thought is that this is probably one of the relics of the dot.com era...my guess is that kids with a few bucks and no knowledge of the restaurant business must own this restaurant.
