Restaurant patrons have spoken! OpenTable.com, the online restaurant reservation and review site, announced their list of the 50 Best Restaurants in the United States for 2010 with Washington DC's L'Auberge Chez Francois among the top vote getters. Restaurants were rated "Best Overall" based on more than seven million restaurant reviews over the past year. A variety of restaurants across 22 states and Washington DC were among those chosen.

"My father, Francois, who founded the restaurant in 1954, always said his keys to success were simply 'stick to the basics; good food, good ambience and good service.' Dining should be a total experience, from the service to the setting. This is a tradition that has lived on at the restaurant for more the 60 years and is something we pride ourselves on," says Chef Jacques Haeringer, chef and owner of L'Auberge Chez Francois. "We are so pleased and honored to know that our customers feel the same way."

Creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere among the towering trees and rolling hills of Virginia, L'Auberge Chez Francois brings the Alsatian countryside to America. For Alsatians, great food should be served in an intimate setting along with beautiful scenery. The restaurant's sylvan backdrop makes a drink or meal under the stars a special occasion and the perfect summer setting for any event. Guests are served in a warm, congenial and inviting atmosphere reminiscent of the little family inns --or auberge- -that dot the Alsatian countryside. The menu changes with the seasons, using the best ingredients available.

Readers of Washingtonian magazine have voted L'Auberge Chez Francois as their favorite restaurant for 22 years. The restaurant has received numerous awards such as AAA's Four Diamond Award for their outstanding service and quality and is featured often in magazines such as Bon Appetit, Gourmet and Wine Spectator, and regularly holds a top spot in Zagat Survey.
