The restaurant is located at 1725 Duke Street. Aside from the normal indoor tables, diners can be served on the outdoor patio near the fountain. Private dining room space with its own bar and bathrooms is available for special events.

There are entrances in the courtyard by the Metro and on Duke Street. Valet parking is available on Duke Street for $5, which is added onto the dinner bill.

Dinner reservations are being accepted on OpenTable. A lunch menu will be offered in the future. For more information visit bistrosancerre.com.
