Macon Bistro Larder - Washington

When it first arrived at the scene, it was delicious. I'm not sure if we were in a night there or if it's trying to get back from covid, but it wasn't so good this time. the fingers crossed for a night.

Abrupt “grading” by obvious manager. filz rushed. he hoped for something new in the menu.

What a nice culinary experience we had last night in macon. we arrived at 5:30 a.m. on a Wednesday night so that the beautiful restaurant was empty. consequently no problem to get the table next to the window with view of connecticut ave. our waiter was friendly and patient answered all our questions about the items in the menu. my friend ordered the delicious buttermilk biscuits with chili jam, the Cheddar cheese sauce, the roasted okra with special dipping sauce and the roasted green tomato. she loved everyone! She let me have one of the four cookies, and it was the best cookie I had eaten, especially accompanied by the chili marble. I ordered the caesar salad with marinated anchovy I loved. then poor, the waiter, brought me the grilled pork chop with bourbon sauce. the pork was well made as I had wished, but still delicate and juicy, and the bourbon grill sauce added exactly the right amount of kick to make the dish completely delicious. the salad and other dishes were made from generous portions and very favorable. we loved to sit in this beautiful restaurant, with its shiny dark wood floors, its subtle, soothing walls cover, modern but warm and loaded with southern charm and hospitable and a French bistro ambiente. my friend ordered the French pressekaffee and explained: “That’s really good!” a little surprised. we shared the chocolate flourless skyberry cake disc, the poor of the waiter recommended. we have left a very generous tipp to reward poorand's excellent service. we were so happy to have discovered macon, a great foundation in the chevy chase, top / connecticut area of northwest D.C

The neighboring bistro serves beautiful eating in a beautiful room. the young server has to work on its table side, but we will return.

We have eaten here many times. Food is always good but last two times the service has been terrible. This last time, we felt like we were being rushed out the door. Main courses came before we finished our appetizers or cocktails. No one asked about wine or beer with dinner. In and out in an hour. Not a relaxing dining experience. Very disappointed as Macon has been one of our go to places.
