“The acting by the 2 leads in this play was outstanding. I was blown away by the talent of these 2 young actors. The play was very well done and memorable! I'm so glad I went to see it last night. Bravo, Round House!“

“Chelsey was great. Place got so busy and she handled the entire restaurant until the next shift came in. She had a smile on her face the entire time, never pushy just on point with everything. We love this place- great sports and great food. Love the wings nachos and burgers!!“

“My husband and I decided to stay here overnight during our drive home from a beach vacation. I am covered in mosquito bites and am just miserable. I couldn’t wait to take a shower. Well let me tell you, I have NEVER taken a shower as good as the shower I just took in this hotel. It scratched every mosquito bite on my body simultaneously and felt so amazing. The provided toiletries smell like I just stepped out of a spa. The towel was fluffy but not linty. The water pressure was immaculate. The temperature was consistent and easy to set to the perfect amount of hotness. And my skin doesn’t feel like it’s been stripped of all of its moisture like it does after a shower at most hotels. I will only stay at this chain from now on if they’re all like this. I need to know how to get this at home. I’m serious. Best shower of my life.“

“Good music good food good“

“My second visit, and the first one for two companions, we went for lunch. The atmosphere is very nice, quiet but not overly so. The staff greeting at the door is very pleasant, with smiles all around. Takumi offers specials for lunch, for $16-$18, including a Sushi one. The specials are served on a beautiful dark wooden tray, which includes the appetizer (salad or miso soup), a choice of 4 main courses (I enjoyed both Don, a bowl or rice with either eel or chirashi, a mix of raw fish; also on offer is a shrimp tempura, and the third dish is a nigiri sushi roll, (choice of 4). With this comes a small tray with three compartments, one with a salad (I had squid once and seaweed once), two and a piece of soft tofu in a slightly sweet syrup to wrap up the meal. The a la carte menu is very tempting as well, and the special rolls are delicious. All fish is flown fresh from Japan, and included Hokkaido uni (sea urshin) which was wonderful. All around, a lovely experience. We will be back!“

“Mother’s Day celebration with family was especially great because of the amazing atmosphere and awesome service at Barrel and Crow. It was our first time visiting this establishment and certainly will not be our last. Shout out to the owner and her staff.“

“Owner is a super great guy! We were visiting the metro area and ate twice on our stay. The bacon cheeseburger eggrolls are superior! Everything else we had was great as well!“

“Maki Bar is absolutely amazing. The sushi is super fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made, and the ramen is just as good—rich broth, perfect noodles, and really satisfying. Everything on the menu feels high quality. The atmosphere is very welcoming, and the staff makes you feel comfortable right away. Overall, it’s a great place to eat whether you’re going with friends or family. I definitely recommend that people come here—you won’t regret it. One of the best spots around for sushi and ramen!“

“The reason I recommend this restaurant is because the environment, service and facilities of this restaurant are very good!“

“Best rooftop in Bethesda. Beautiful sunsets and fabulous cocktails! 🍸“

“Delicious food with large selection. We chose to get a variety of appetizers to share. Especially liked the Fattoush salad. The chocolate souffle was to die for.
Staff was very helpful and when one selection came late, they made it on the house!“

“We went to Kusshi on Valentine’s Day and had a great meal. The sushi never misses. Our go to is always the spice rock shrimp, firecracker roll and got beef. It was super busy but we were still able to get a table. The staff was killing it and stayed calm and focused under the pressure of a super busy night. Thanks for making our v-day special!“

“the food food, the taste taste, the service, the ambiance just impeccable, my God!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾“

“The grilled chicken sandwich with guacamole comes with french fries. It was delicious.“

“A special shout out to Elijah. He is truly passionate about his job and was amazing in every way. He went above and beyond and it showed. Thank you for a wonderful evening and five stars to him. Another shoutout to Lee who ALWAYS makes everyone in the dining room feel comfortable, relaxed, and special. What a gift. Also five stars to Rebecca for handling so many aspects of Morton’s service to the public. A really stellar personality and performance. And finally…kudos to the folks at the front desk. Absolutely incredible professionalism. Give all these folks a raise!“

“I have never experienced such poor service. We waited forever to get a waiter, then took another ten minutes before she came back to take our order. Then she never brought our drinks. She disappeared and we couldn't find her to get the bill and then another long wait to pay.“
