Macon Bistro & Larder

Came here on a Saturday night - Valentines day to be precise - and had to eat earlier than expected, but it was a good time for a 1st visit. One thing I liked was they didn't have a v-day prefixe menu. Parking can be a challenge as the meters are active until 10:30pm. Unless there parking lot I'm not aware of, it can be catch as catch can. The service was good. A mixup with appetizer getting delivered to another table. We overheard it happen to another table so maybe someone new working. The menu was varied and changes periodically. We started with the deviled eggs (pictured), which were tasty. Kind of a savory sweet flavor combo. I had the steak frites au poivre (pictured). The fries were cooked well. The pepper sauce was on the side, which was a nice touch. I ordered the steak medium

Excellent restaurant with great food and better service. The biscuits were 10/10 and so was the steak. Definitely coming back for brunch or dinner!

Excellent brunch - ending with the French Toast was the pièce de résistance! The bar is officially open again too - great selection of single malt scotch! Looking forward to being back… great service as well.

The war on bread continues unabated in America. They did not bring us any bread. I had to ask for it and it took forever to deliver. Other than that. Macon is a charming little bistro on Connecticut Avenue and a good addition to the stretch that is kind of suffering right now because there's only a couple of restaurants the Greek one and the other one- their staff is not very well trained. They're really packing the tables are crammed and you are eavesdropping on your neighbors. They should lose a couple of tables. It's not about the tables. It's about filling up the place daily and offering good product. Wish them well- not impressed. Soggy fries.

Food was good. Service outstanding. The chicken was great. Brisket was so tender. The biscuits are OK. The Lobster and grits were good, not an okra fan though. Hush puppies were good and deviled eggs were pretty good. The chocolate chip bread pudding was to die for. It was like a chocolate chip cinnamon roll with ice cream. The collard greens were less desirable. The Mac-n-Cheese needs a different cheese. It was just blah.
