39 Best Wine Bars near Chevy Chase

“Best apartment complex on the Strip! This building has everything you could ever need as a college student. The leasing and maintenance staff are friendly and helpful. Hands-down the most convenient place to live as a UMD student, as it's the closest apartment off the high way and only 10 mins away from downtown silver spring!!!!“

“Sitting outside on a nice evening sounding like a good idea but for reasons unclear the service was painfully slow. Slow to receive first course, had to inquire, slow to get check on table and then to get check taken. Perhaps the outdoor seating area should be better staffed and managers should take a look at what is going on. It was impossible to get attention from anyone except the buss staff who were helpful.“

“There’s something magical about Little Black Bird. It’s the kind of place that draws you in quietly, then stays with you long after the night ends. From the moment we walked in, we were wrapped in a sense of calm sophistication — every detail, from the lighting to the music, felt just right.
The food? Thoughtful, elegant, and deeply satisfying. Every dish told a story, and you could taste the care that went into each bite. Chef Ryan is clearly cooking from the heart — there’s a quiet confidence in his food, a respect for ingredients, and a creativity that never feels forced. It’s refined, yet incredibly approachable.

The service was equally unforgettable. Sara, the general manager, is the kind of hospitality professional every great restaurant needs. She has an innate grace, a genuine warmth, and a gift for making each guest feel like they’re the most important person in the room.

It’s rare to find a restaurant that feels both special and unpretentious, but Little Black Bird nails it. We came in for dinner — we left already planning our next visit. What a gift to have a place like this in DC.“

“We heard about Rania from social media and since we love Indian food, making a reservation was a no brainer. Reading some of the negative comments prior to dining there had us feeling hesitant but hopeful. I'm happy to say, we had an excellent experience there. Everyone from the hostess to the bus boys and wait staff were attentive, welcoming and polite. The food was top notch and the cocktails were presented in a really fun and creative way. The only negative was the noise level. My husband and I had to raise our voices to hear one another speak. Otherwise, we had an excellent experience at Rania and would love to dine there again.“

“This place is amazing! What a great local gem to find! All their wine options are delicious, and they added a happy hour menu with small bites that are perfect. My only critique is that they don’t have any gluten free substitution options.“

“All of my experiences at L’Ardente have been phenomenal. The food, the atmosphere, and the service are all top notch!!!“

“Last week we enjoyed dinner with Edgar Allen Poe. Okay, so maybe not the man himself- but about as close as I could imagine the experience to be. Dark, decadent, and full of surprise. We got to try their seasonal Poe themed menu, and it’s not just dinner- it nears theatre on a plate.“

“Get thee to Neutral Ground Bar and Kitchen with haste! Dinner? Superb. Amazing cocktails at the bar? Sorted. Jazz Brunch? Sublime. Chef David Gays has it goin’ on. #hopeformclean.“

“Great place to go after a long day or on a date . The staff was awesome when it came to what wine may be best to try with which dinner . First timers or old heads to wine excellent place to visit . Will visit every time I am in town“

“What a nice dinner! We were hesitant as my idea was to go to the Red Hen opposite the street, but I’m glad we did. Sitting on the terrace on a summer night was very pleasant (but bring a repellent). The waiter (Terry) was super friendly and relaxed, made a great pasta recommendation. The puttanesca fettuccine were indeed a treat, everything homemade and perfectly balanced, with a kick from the pepper flakes. The price is reasonable and we will gladly be back.“

“Easy Company is an absolutely beautiful space. I hosted a group of women business owners for a happy hour. The staff was wonderful to work with in arranging our event, and they took great care of our group while we were there! The wine and drinks were delicious.“

“The Eastern is just a couple of blocks from my daughter and son-in-law and is our go to place when we visit them in DC. They have a fabulous menu, however, we love the small shareable plates. The pork sliders, glazed carrots and pimento cheese dip are wonderful. The wait staff is knowledgeable and attentive and always ready to suggest a wine to pair with our food. We love the atmosphere and the local vibe and are warmly greeted like old friends. Love this place.“

The staff is knowledgeable and welcoming, making recommendations without the pretension. Small plates like the charcuterie board and truffle fries are delicious, though slightly pricey.

“Great ambiance and great drinks 🍹 totally recommend for a fun night out 🥂“

“Restaurant Review: Le Sel French Bistro Le Sel French Bistro near Logan Circle delivers a delightful mix of classic French cuisine with modern flair in a cozy, chic setting. The Escargots were indulgent, with garlic Pernod butter enhancing their tender richness, while the Onion Soup transported me to Paris with its flavorful broth and golden, cheesy crust. The Steak au Poivre & Frites was a standout, perfectly cooked with bold black pepper jus, creamy Béarnaise, and crispy frites. Each dish balances tradition and creativity, making for a memorable dining experience. For an authentic taste of France in DC, Le Sel is a must-visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #LeSelFrenchBistro #FrenchCuisine #LoganCircleEats #DCFoodies #FineDining #FoodieFavorites“

“Wonderful French restaurant with excellent ambiance. We started with the olives and bread. Don’t pass up the bread and butter!

My father had the table side carbonara, my husband had the braised short rib lasagna and I had the famous chicken parmigiana ala vodka. The staff paid attention to our every need and made this dining experience so enjoyable. Next time we are in the area we will be sure to come back.“

“I was lucky enough to get a pre-opening preview of this business tonight. And I was blown away. The place is beautiful, and Megan and Sean are so hospitable and so knowledgeable about wine. I always thought of myself as someone who couldn't tell the difference between acceptable wine and anything better, until Megan poured me a glass of Beaujolais. Amazing.“

“We had never tried Afghani food before, and I am so glad we did. The staff was so friendly and helpful with any questions we had. They recommended the Mini Taste of Arocostia for our first time. Everything was FANTASTIC!!! The food was cooked perfectly. The service was great! We never had to ask to have our beverages filled up, because they were already on top of it before we had to ask. They packed all our leftovers into boxes for us for our way home. We will definitely be going back!“

“We had a wonderful time during a reserve wine tasting experience. Our ‘guide' for the tasting (Kareem) was so very knowledgeable about the wines and regions they came from and made it all so interesting and approachable. He made the day for sure! Our food was delicious, the wines were fantastic, and the service was top notch! Highly recommend!“
