33 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!!!!“

“I dined at Capital Grille to celebrate a birthday, and the experience was lovely. The guest of honor and I were seated in an enclave upstairs that felt intimate and private but not remote. The table was decorated for his birthday, and our server, Faouzi, was attentive, courteous and warm. As always, the entrees and accompaniments were outstanding, and we truly enjoyed the sweet celebratory treats after dinner. Capital Grille Chevy Chase is one of my top three favorite restaurants, and I will continue to dine there for the foreseeable future.“

“Came for a tasting as part of Tasting Collective and was glad I did. This was truly a great experience. The 5 course tasting had 2 courses (1st & 4th) that needed to be altered as I'm a pescetarian therefore, don't eat duck. So in place of the duck paté, I was served figs and brie and in place of the duck breast I was served branzino. Each course was nicely paired with wine, again adding to this wonderful experience.

The fig and brie with the croutons was delicious, followed by the roasted pear with gouda, pecans and pomegranate sprinkles which was a delightful tasty plate. Who would think white chocolate and cauliflower purée would be delicious and pair beautifully with seared scallops? Clearly Chef Moore did and how right was he. That purée had folks at our table scraping to get all of it. The next course was a substitute dish and was beyond disappointing, especially compared to the other 3 courses. The branzino was BLAND, but the olives that were on the side were extra salty. I thought I was supposed to eat them together, but that didn't help. I couldn't even eat this course. The final course was a butterscotch pudding, a great way to end the meal/night.

Chef Moore was very welcoming. He answered questions and took pictures with the guests.

I'll definitely add this to my list of restaurants.“

“I will say that this place is a MUST visit! I was thoroughly impressed by the ambiance, the service and most importantly the food! Every bite was delicious and left me wanting more. We had the four course menu and it was enough food that everyone in our party felt satisfied and even a bit full. The service was great too! They brought out each course promptly and we enjoyed the attentiveness and attention to detail. Indian food has never tasted so delicious! I hope to return again soon!“

“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.“

“This place was wonderful. The food was just the right portion for trying a little bit of everything paired with a couple of glasses of very reasonably priced wines.“

“My wife and I were looking for a bite to eat and saw they had calamari from other google reviews, so I had to check it out. It did not disappoint as it was very tasty and the breaking was very light, which I enjoyed. We both ordered pizzas, which were delicious. Price and portion size were average for the area, so no complaints about that. They had a large drink menu, so if you are into wine, this looks like a good place. Our server was polite but somewhat scarce between visits, but I won'thold it against the restaurant. The owner came around and thanked us for stopping in to eat, which I appreciated.

Vegetarian options: Large portion of the menu can be made without meat

Kid-friendliness: I would say this is a higher end place to enjoy some wine tasting so maybe leave the kids at home.“

“The branzino was fresh and deliciously prepared. The accompanying bread was freshly baked. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“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.“

“excellent peruvian foood!!!! totally recommend!!!!!! i was very impressed and drove 1.5hrs to try it. worth the drive!!!!!!“

“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.“

“We've had lunch and brunch there, and it was all good.“

“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“

“Five stars for the food—my wife and I went for brunch and it was absolutely phenomenal! I had the biscuits with crawfish gravy (not very photogenic, but they were sooo good), and my wife ordered the broccolini & grits. We also shared the breakfast potatoes, which were excellent. Every dish was well-prepared and delicious.

The cocktails, however, were more of a mixed experience. We’d rate them 3.5/5. My $16 Bloody Mary was okay, but nothing exceptional, and my wife’s espresso martini-ish drink was on the same level. They serve cocktails from a little bar cart, bringing your drink in a carafe with an ice bucket for you to pour yourself. While I understand why they see that it could be kind of fun, we didn’t feel it added much and would’ve preferred the drinks were served already put together or that they mix it at the table rather than have all the random glassware left on the table.

The ambiance gets a solid 4.5/5. It was bright, fresh, and inviting—perfect for brunch.

Overall Neutral Ground Bar + Kitchen is a must-visit for brunch!“

“We always have such a delightful experience at Champagne & Sugar! The atmosphere is chic and inviting, and it truly is a unique spot. We love the attention to detail and the luxurious treatments offered. It’s a wonderful spot for anyone looking to relax and indulge in some self-care and shopping. We highly recommend Beauty Champagne & Sugar for a truly fabulous beauty experience!“

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

“Verre Wine Bar is such a gem! They had a great selection of wines and the cozy atmosphere made it perfect for our date night. Our waitress was the sweetest and very knowledgeable too! Had such a great time and am so excited that we now have a new favorite spot. Highly recommend!!“

“Love the foods and place . All employee are very good .“

“A Culinary Masterpiece at Enigma on U Street

Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at Enigma on U Street in Washington, DC, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Despite the late hour, Chef Dennis Clark crafted a dish that left a lasting impression on my palate.

The standout of the evening was the mussels, which were served in a remarkable spicy sweet sauce that perfectly balanced heat and sweetness. The flavors were bold yet harmonious, with the sauce enhancing the natural brininess of the mussels rather than overpowering it. Every bite was a revelation, showcasing Chef Clark’s exceptional skill and creativity in the kitchen.“

“good burgers, nice vibe.“

“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.“

“the food 😋is delicious and the service is great“

“The service was amazing and the food was good.“

“Our son recently moved to Arlington and he said this was the best Italian food that he ever had! Last night we went there for dinner and couldn't agree with him more. We had some initial issues with our service and seating , but the General Manager, Stefano and our waitress Shandra took care of us and the service that they gave us was outstanding; probably the best that I ever had at a restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious! We will be back every time that we visit our son. There are so many dishes that I cannot wait to try and the pasta is all homemade. Thanks for making our dinner so special. We love it here!“

“The food at Ceibo is creative and delicious. We enjoyed eveything, sharing the hamachi, eggplant, dumplings and sea bass. The dumplings are unusual, served in a delicious broth. The emulsion served with the sea bass was amazing. The wine list is reasonable and includes great choices by the glass. The service is friendly and attentive, but not overbearing. The dining room is attractive, but because of the tile floor, once full it is a little loud, but not to the extent that you'll have difficulty hearing your dinner companion across the table. Dinner at Ceibo is a lovely way to spend an evening.“

“It is finally nice to eat a meal the marries spices from different continents together to create/perfect comfort foods. Phenomenal.... A party in your mouth!!!“

“We stopped here on our way through DCA last week and really enjoyed it. The wine selection is amazing and the food was good and reasonably priced. Our server, Rekik made some great recommendations. She is a great server and we look forward to seeing her again on our next trip thru DCA.“

“It was the perfect meal, from appetizers to main course, and dessert! Our server, Ricardo, was very attentive and informative about the menu and gave us personal recommendations, as well. I had been wanting to dine at Cucina Morini for a while now, and I am so glad I chose it for our friends visiting from overseas.“

“Wine market, bar, small plates joint in a good location. Stopped in for a flight and light bite on a Saturday night. The downstairs bar/market was packed, lots of energy, and buzzing. We were upstairs because we had a reservation. Decidedly quieter up there only a couple of other folks dining, the back room had a large party (15) cozy with lighting in the right place. We started with a flight and narrowed in on Pomerol by the glass. The Somm was friendly, knowledgeable, and made a good suggestion for our final glass, a Cahors. A licorice-bomb that we really liked. On the food side, we were very basic, fries with homemade ketchup; French onion soup, with cheddar and a nice bread on the side; and roasted/fried cauliflower with yogurt, pine nuts, and pickled raisins, which was a little overdone. We didn't venture much further on the food menu, but we were really here for the wine anyway. On our way out, we perused the markets but weren't able to find that Cahors in a bottle server/somm. sensing our dilemma, procured a bottle for us from the back. Nice experience, I'd explore more by the glass options here and they have some interesting finds in the wine market.“

“I cannot recommend Bottles Wine Garden enough! This is a women-owned establishment with some very interesting, exquisite, and reasonably-priced wines. We tried an Australian white and a French Syrah blend that were some of the best that my friends and I (regular wine consumers) have tried in DC. Furthermore, the customer service at this place was incredible. Erika, our sommelier, was extremely knowledgeable and courteous, and Stephanie took such good care of us! The place is small but cozy, with a lovely garden for outdoor seating, the perfect environment for an intimate gathering with friends and loved ones. We tried several small plates and all were tasty - the fig and burrata flatbread and charcuterie were especially delicious. Will return for the customer service alone!“

“This place is MOST AWESOMENESS! A definite must come eat!“

“Nice little neighborhood wine bar. Nice selections, friendly bartenders / waitstaff.“
