“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.“

“southern and northern Italian specialty foods. Chef Ettore the best!“

“Great dogs and beer selection. Cheese fries were also delicious. Would recommend to try this spot if in Bethesda, MD.“

“I discovered this restaurant after getting my lashes done at Evalash and decided to give it a try since it’s relatively new. I’m so glad I did! I ordered the spicy kimchee fried rice to go and enjoyed some spring rolls and wine while I waited. The spring rolls came out quickly, were perfectly crisp, and absolutely delicious — I wish I’d ordered extra to take home! But the real standout was the fried rice. Packed with flavor, the kimchee was just right, and the pork belly I chose as my protein made it even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The friendly staff and bartenders... shout out to Duffy and Juan!!“

“Stayed just one night but what a comfortable night it was. The staff was very friendly and the room was spacious and clean. I can't wait to return!“

“Excellent service; beautiful venue and ambience; and great location. However, the food for me was just OK. I'm a seafood lover, but my scallop entree was drowning in salt (no pun intended) making the dish inedible. My server (Andrew) was absolutely wonderful and offered me another selection. I picked the crab roll which was indeed a better option. Thanks, Andrew!“

“I've anticipated the opening of the restaurant. It's authentic mexican ambiance. Friendly staff. Delicious food, best Mexican food I've had since I moved to the DMV. I'll be back. It's Cinco de Mayo and it's my first time here. Catherine was my waitress and she was amazing.“
