We will definitely come back here, not just for the food but also for the experience…

Keep it up!“

“This place is awesome ! Good food, great staff, beautiful atmosphere. You can tell that they put time , love, and care into their dishes and cocktails. 10/10 would recommend!“

“My daughter recently moved to the area. After a long day of cleaning and unpacking boxes we ordered pizza for dinner. This is the BEST pizza! The crust was perfect. It was not greasy. It was sliced perfectly-easy to pick up. Location was easy to find and service was SUPER friendly! I am looking forward to eating here again when I’m in town!“

“GREAT food, and some of the friendliest people in Bethesda! We’ll be frequent fliers...for sure.“

“Everything was perfect, the service, food and cocktails! Look forward to returning.“

“Food is great, easily one of the best dumplings I've tried in my life. Everything is flavorful and really good. I like it so much that I drive there over 40 mins to eat with friends from time to time. The first few visits I had some issues with the service but it seems to be improving.“

“I had never been to Delhi Spice before, but I randomly chose it because we were hosting good friends from Virginia who love Indian food. And I'm glad I did. The food was excellent and everyone loved the dumplings and the sauce. The menu is varied and we enjoyed our selections. Olga, our server, was nice and friendly and very professional. She suggested the Ruple beer which went great with my meal. The place is small, which was perfect for us, and has ample parking in the back.“

“Thank you,Great food with very nice and friendly staff. Love this Lilit cafe“

“Food was excellent, service was great!“

“A highly enjoyable meal. The menu was as we remembered from past visits and we visit revisited some old favorites as well as trying the daily special. Always excellent. The waiter and other staff were highly attentive. We will definitely return again.“

“My wife and I received a gift card for Guarado's a couple of years ago and FINALLY made the time to go. I was not disappointed. The food was perfectly cooked and, while there was a small mix up with our order, they took ownership of the problem and made it right with us. The only other thing I wish we had was more bread to sop up that beautifully fragrant oil with the gambas al ajillo. I definitely plan on coming again!“

“I just had my 2nd absolutely DELICIOUS Indian dinner at Virraaj on Cordell. My husband noticed what he thought was a new restaurant across from the public parking last week so we went there for our Wednesday date nite. We went earlyish and only a couple other tables were taken when we arrived but by the time we left at 6:30 ish it was just about full so best to make reservations. Even with many diners, it was still easy to talk to each other and be heard. I started w/ the AAM Palak Chaat appetizer which I had first tasted at Rasika and have ordered every time I have seen it on a menu. Definitely rivaled Rasika's and the portion was big enough to share w/ my husband as an appetizer. My main was the Murgh Bahak/ Kadai Chicken. So tender, so tasty with onion and green and red bell peppers, delicious brown sauce w/ terrific spices plus a little spicy kick. I ate as much as I could and still had left overs for 2 lunches at home. My husband ordered a lamb dish he enjoyed and finished every morsel including the rice. I saw some reviewers would have liked more rice. We had plenty with our meals so maybe they are giving more w/ each dinner. The waiter was attentive, professional, courteous and nice. The restaurant itself was classy & beautifully appointed - you could tell someone put a great deal of thought and money into designing it. This week we had friends visit who live in VA, within walking distance to Clarendon. We always go there for Indian food because there are so many good Indian restaurants to choose from but they were excited to try Virraaj from our comments about how much we enjoyed it. Before ordering takeout, I called and spoke to Jenni 3 times because I wanted to order what I had ordered last week but couldn't remember the name. She could not have been kinder or more patient in helping me figure out that it was the Kadhai Chicken. It may not seem like it from this review but I am a picky eater - happy to pay any price (just about ) for good food but am too often disappointed in Bethesda. Virraag got the highest marks on everything important to me: service, food, and ambiance - all of us enjoyed our meals and noone was disappointed. We ordered pickup for 4 main dishes including my fav Murgh Bahak/Kadai Chicken, Butter Chicken, Lamb Tawa Masala and Hariyal Murgh Tikka, naan and roti. All went on 2 big lazy susans on the dining room table and we kept on spinning, tasting and enjoying. The wife of the other couple always orders the Butter Chicken and kept on saying how moist and delicious the chicken was tonight. We all tried and liked everything - - not one complaint. So glad that we have a great Indian restaurant to go to and take friends to and not worry that anyone is not going to enjoy -- it is that good!“

“Yep:P it was very good the food the ppl and the reset urs for“

“Amazing food and service!“

“Great,have everything to eat,i like it.“

“The service was excellent“

“I had the local strawberry and watermelon salad and it was the most original and delicious thing I've eaten all summer. Combines sweet and juicy with crunchy and savory, with a great house-made dressing. I wish I'd tried this place sooner.“

“Great service. Best crabs I’ve had all year- big & full!“

“Amazing service. Extremely accommodating to us and helpful trying to help us keep our babies in the party happy. Definitely recommend for the service alone but would also recommend solely based on the food as well. Chicken soup was great and chicken tawook was the best Ive ever had. Super flavorful and juicy“

“This was the worst service ever here and I have not been back since the last bad service..I took a friend here from Philly and took forever to get waited on. appetizer was not fully cooked.Pizza came out.... my pasta never made it out. never heard a word from the manager ..how sad. male employees were constantly occupying the men's room...the waitress is the only one what was apologetic..my friend from Philly was not impressed and I left mad and disappointed. my third time with this location.

“Great experience at this restaurant!

Kind service, good food, quality side dishes. Everything was served piping hot, which was a huge plus. Taste wise, all of the dishes were a bit on the milder end. Not a good or bad thing. Just a personal preference thing.

It's a bit pricey, but I can't complain too much because the food was delicious.“

“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.“

“Olazzo catered a recent birthday party for us. Everything about the experience was first rate. Scott Crivella was extremely helpful in finagling the menu. The food was delivered right on time and was ready to serve. Our guests were delighted with the chicken Marsala, mango salmon, penne marinara, antipasto platter and bruschetta. Everything was delicious and the servings were very generous. We were extremely pleased.“

“I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and authenticity of some of the classic dimsum dishes such as the shrimp dumpling and charngfun. We ordered about 25 small plates between 3 people (including desert) and we were stuffed! Some items tasted a bit too experimental and did not satisfy the classic Cantonese flavor profile that I’m used to. Some were really good! I grew up eating authentic Cantonese dim sum in Los Angeles and have tried amazing eating dim sum in Hong Kong and Guangzhou. In the DMV area, we have limited dim sum options - so this place will do when I crave dim sum! The service and atmosphere were really nice. Total rating is 4.5 stars.“

“Great food! Fast and attentive service! Clean and pleasant environment!“

“Excellent food and service.“

“😍Love Love Fish Taco Wildwood! Miss you! Hurry back!“

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

“Delicious, serious, fast, tasty. And they donate their day-old bagels to food pantries & shelters!“

“One of the best pizzas in the DMV. Salads are good too. Clam pizza is great if you eat it there or have a very short delivery time from pickup to home. Every other pizza travels really well. Highly recommend this pizza for regular rotation!“

“always consistently good food“

“No matter what time of day, this is THE BEST Peruvian Chicken around!“

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

“Back to the scene of Lan’s and my first date!“

“I had a lovely memorable experience at Chopt in Bethesda MD. Tracy’s customer service; beyond superb, her ability to pay attention to details and understand what the customer needs was almost telekinetic. Tracy was warm respectful and attentive. My wrap was perfect thanks to her recommendations. High five to your work ethics and good energy. When it comes down to recommending this Chopt Bethesda branch I say Heck yea!“

“Lived in Bethesda for 50 years, now in Bend, OR--where good Chinese food is non-existent. On numerous visits back home, I've patronized Foong Lin with high school buddies--and it always delivers the goods. Last night, we all had hot and sour soup, egg rolls, crispy beef, combination Kung Pao, combination lo mein...and everything was off the charts!“

“Everything is good.Almond croissants is my favorite one.“

“Great place for good eat .“

“I've always had a positive dining experience at Kadhai, been coming here for probably a decade now. Tried their lunch buffet for the first time today. Delicious okra and lentils, creamy and flavorful butter chicken, generous offerings for a very reasonable cost.“

“great food.Love everything in the menu.“

“Just had a great lunch with friends at Silver in Bethesda. The roasted fall vegetable salad with cinnamon chipotle shrimp was fresh and tasty, the server was cheerful and accurate. It was a bit crowded at peak lunch hour on a Friday -- I'd recommend reservations, and a bit noisy, but it did not hinder our chatting in the least.“

“I've attended many fancy dinners both personally and professionally in my time. I did a birthday celebration in a private room with 12 of my dearest friends. And all that time I have never seen a server start the evening by memorizing everybody's names. The service was very Hands-On and personable. Severin,Rafi and Lauren made our evening particularly wonderfull.

The food was also amazing. We particularly recommend the mini lamb chop appetizer. The steak was also exceptional. Two members of my party had the sea bass which they also adored.

I would also like to think the the three people including two managers who were able to get the Rays playoff game on the TV in our private room. How they made sure the Rays won. I don't know, but we appreciate their support.“

“Fantastic food, attentive service, and ambient setting. Such a fantastic spot“

“Came here on a whim with my grandparents and mom and we were so blown away with the service we received from Simon and the team! Everyone was super accommodating and kind to us and we all enjoyed the pizza so much (first time I’ve seen my grandpa excited to have a slice of pizza!) 5/5 would recommend to anyone in the neighborhood as a walk-in or takeaway dinner. Thanks again to Simon and the team for helping us with all our questions/requests“

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

“The food here is sooooooo good. The best food on base in my opinion. (But the galley is pretty awesome and way cheaper). You pay a bit more here but the quality is great. They also do private event catering. (just don't get the cake, it's meh). The only downside and I wish I could give 4.5 stars is the fact that all of their iced tea is by default sweet tea. Pretty ableist for a restaurant that caters to wounded warriors.“

“Best pizza ever! & I know pizza, I'm from New York!“

“Seoul Spice is absolutely amazing!
The food is incredibly delicious, fresh, and full of authentic flavor. The portions are generous, leaving you fully satisfied and impressed with the value.

The customer service is outstanding. The girl with glasses and a red shirt was attentive, and professional, which made the whole experience even better.

Seoul Spice never disappoints! 🔥🍜💯“

“I used to go to the marketplace, which is now Ruscello. Even though the name changed, the atmosphere and food was 100% the same!!!
But the servise, eh, not as expected. Who would make a customer wait for 30 mins? I even told them that we wanted to order! So maybe if you're on a bit of a rush, this is not the restaurant you'd like to go. But on a day with no rush and you're starving, the restaurant you'd like to go is Ruscello! If you go there, trust me, you'll just love it there! (Pizza is just too good, so maybe if you are not a pizza fan, do not go there...!)“
