Fine Dining Restaurants near Chevy Chase, MD

“Love this restaurant - usually. This time we were disappointed. After we were seated, we were greeted by our server. Took our drink orders then didn't see him to place our dinner order for over 30 minutes. The table next to us - the server spoke VERY loudly. ( couldn't tell if the guests were older and hard of hearing). It was as if he was sitting with us at our table and speaking in a loud voice. Extremely annoying throughout our dinner. One steak was cooked well beyond medium. But for as long as we waited for our entree course, we didn't complain. Just not our usual experience at this restaurant.“

“excellent service, good food, worth every penny“

“My wife and I recently had an amazing experience at Jônt. The whole thing, from the counter seating and loud music, to the phenomenal staff I 10/10 recommend. The food was unique and so fun to try. Every bite may not be a hit for everyone, but like i said it’s fun to try.“

“We were in DC celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary and chose Capital Grill for dinner. GREAT DECISION!! Kelly was the manager on duty and placed us at Daniel’s table. Both went out of their way to make this a very special occasion. Food was fantastic but their service was exceptional.“

“The Sunday plant-based brunch is the best in the area! Even if you are a heavy meat-eater, you will still be satiated as there is SO MUCH FOOD! It is a five-course buffet that you can serve yourself. Sometimes, during busy holidays like Easter, they will bring the food to your table. Everything is wonderful from the soup and bread that they bring to your table, the fresh salad with homemade dressing, candied pecans, pasta dishes, bean dishes, and a large dessert bar. The menu changes almost every week so you can guarantee that the food is fresh. Please see all of my photos so that you can see how amazing the food is. When I went there, they had a delicious pasta made with backyard mint and vegan lemon butter. It was creative and different which I appreciate. The staff is so friendly especially Didier. I love enjoying the plant-based brunch on Sundays before I start my day of teaching my piano lessons in my students' homes.“

“Absolutely amazing food by a talented chef“

“Xiquet by Danny Lledo has worked very hard to earn its Michelin standing, and it shows in every aspect of the meal. Each dish is carefully crafted to give you an equally beautiful and delicious sample of a different Spanish cuisine.

First, the presentation of each dish. You receive a cardstock card with every single entree, giving you an overview of the dish, the primary ingredients, a backstory for why it matters to the chef. It is an awesome way to enhance the dining experience and give each small element stand out even more. There is also a sentimental element with some of the them, making it feel like an invitation into the upbringing of the genius who put all the food together.

To make the whole process even more engaging, each of the plates is so meticulously crafted that they feel like art. I sat and admired most of the dishes that crossed my path just to appreciate how intricately they were put together and repurposed otherwise simple ingredients. It’s truly entertaining to see new variations on dishes you think you know, and with such beauty.

Things are made all the more enjoyable by the constant clash between a traditional tapa and the inventive nature of the chef, giving you a blend of new flavors and the classic taste you expect from Spanish cuisine. Each dish just puts a smile on your face and makes you appreciate the finer flavors in life. It’s clear that all the ingredients are top of the line im quality, and carefully curated.

Finally, the service and actual dining experience. The upper area is in a beautiful room with a great view on a glass encased kitchen. It is very welcoming and super entertaining to see the chefs hard at work in the kitchen to see how everything comes together. The service was fantastic as well, with super knowledgable and friendly wait staff. I really appreciated how much they were just as excited for their customers to enjoy the meals as I was.

Overall, Xiquet is an incredible dining experience that is well deserving of its designation. I would save this one for a special occasion, as it definitely hurts the bank, but you will surely have an unforgettable dinner. Thanks to Danny for an awesome night.“

“The service is awesome. The seafood is fresh and the atmosphere is great. One of my favorite places to eat.“

“The STEAK it comes with a nice sized salad, chimi churry is excellent on the steak or as a dressing for the nice sized side salad. A side of mashed potatoes or other veggie. Absolutely recommend, The steak is cooked very nicely, nice flavor development on the outside of steak, internal temp on point. & the portion size is generous or reasonable for the price. If you are hungry & want to be filled a nice protein & with healthy sides. This is 10/10 dish & I would re-order again. Bravo to the kitchen“
