He was prompt and very personable. We enjoyed speaking to him. I would definitely return without hesitation. Thank you. Fred C.“

“I had an incredible dining experience at Brazza Steaks, the Venezuelan restaurant. Everything about this place was amazing. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at home. Carlos, the owner, took the time to sit down and chat with us. His passion for the food and his friendliness made the experience even more special. The server was awesome, offering fantastic recommendations that truly enhanced our meal. The food was exceptional, with each dish bursting with authentic Venezuelan flavors. I can't recommend Brazza Steaks enough; it's a must-visit for anyone looking for a delightful meal for a great price!“

“Great food and service, but disappointed that they have been out of AC for two months. They need to tell their customers at the door before they are seated. Not right especially if customers have respiratory issues. Some in the restaurant that day were experiencing discomfort Stay away from the Rockville Location until they fix the AC“

The Ravini Politiko, coconut cake was the best I ever ate! The Thalissina, seafood pasta had plenty of seafood in it and delicious. Even the cappaccino was delicious, very smooth, no bitterness and taste great with dessert! The server, Baris, was attentive, friendly and did a great job taking care of us. Great place to eat, homemade dishes and desserts! Highly recommend it. I will be back!“

“Our first time here and we loved it! Food was excellent! Service was wonderful! Ambiance was great! The only feedback is that the gentleman playing the bouzouki was wonderful (Sat Nov 1, 2025 dinner time). It was a nice touch. However, it was a little too loud. It was hard to hear our conversation with so many customers and the loud music. However, food was delicious and restaurant very charming!!! We will definitely be back this month!!!! We loved it!!!“

“Great food. Great people. Close to home. Let’s go!“

“We noticed and stopped at Thelo spur of the moment. The proprietor came forward and we shared our trip to Santorini. My Pork Gyro was literally the best I've ever had. Marvously moist, beautiful flavor, caramelized bits, fresh pita, wonderful!
We shall return!“

“Awesome“

“A fantastic experience! Gabby was our server - - and did such a fantastic job ensuring our first-time experience was excellent. The appetizer and main course selections we made were well-prepared. Love the space too. The hostess greeted us and selected a great table for us. Top on our list during our next visit to this area.“

“Everything so delicious here. Feel like I am in Thailand. อร่อยทุกอย่างเลยค่ะ เหมือนอยู่เมืองไทย ขอบคุณพี่ไก่ ที่พามาทานค่ะ ❤️“

“Excellent bbq and sandwiches everything is excellent always will come back here“

“I've been going to the Silver Diner in Reston for over 15 years. Food is always good, new items added to menu seasonally, staff are real folks who are easy to talk with and joke with as well. You get a sense of "family" when you are there as staff and customers interact. Servers are fun people and make your day. Today was Rubia's day and she is special. Come out and see for yourself.“

“Great flavors meads. This place offers a relaxing atmosphere I really recommended.“

“We’ve been going to Carmen since our kids were little. The ice and custard are delicious and the service is always amazing.“

“OMG! Where do I start...From the unassuming quaint colonial home to the wonderful welcoming of Mona herself. You will fall in love with Mona and this place immediately! It's just like walking into your own Grandma's home and Mona makes you feel that way too! We were traveling from out of town to a customer's location near here and were looking for a different dining experience. Boy, Mona did not disappoint! We ordered Baba Ganouj, Beef Shwarma and Lamb with Rice. For dessert we had Rice Pudding and Knafe Bel Jibne. The smoke on the pitas and Baba Ganouj was amazing and I don't like smoke on ANYTHING! I don't care for lamb but tried my business partner's meal and LOVED IT! Mona has definitely won me over hands down! The Shwarma was like nothing I have ever had before. And as a BIG pickle lover, this was a hit! The Rice Pudding was very delicate and a perfect ending to a perfect meal. We ordered the Knafe Bel Jibne as we were very curious. It is a warm sweet treat with a very slight hint of savory which comes from the pistachios - YUM! Mona cooks everything herself to order with LOVE! This is such an AMAZING AND UNIQUE dining experience and hidden GEM! This place is a MUST! When you go there, tell Mona that Kat and Rob sent you!“

“This little gem is our go-to winery year-round. While their hours are limited during the winter, Saturdays there (whether you spend them in the tasting room or outdoors by an open fire) are a treat. Good wines, friendly staff, and the best atmosphere of any winery in the area.“

“Best barbecue chicken pizza! It is so fresh and delicious! I can’t find another one I like as much as the Dons! Try it!“

“Great vibe and staff! We came for a vendors market and it was a blast. Dog friendly, outdoor seating, and plenty of parking. Definitely coming back!“

“Wonderful food and service. We all had different dinners off the menu. The French onion soup was some of the best I had. We walked in and were met with smiles and seated fast with no reservations.“

“Masarap! The bistek is the bomb!“

“Delicious fresh food, beautiful presentation. Wonderful attentive staff, highly recommend. We will definitely return to enjoy an evening with music of Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Thank you very much.“

“Great food at great car meetup.“

“This Greek restaurant in Potomac, MD is a hidden gem. The lobster spaghetti was rich and perfectly balanced, and the dessert—simple, elegant, unforgettable. The menu is carefully curated, and it shows. This is their second restaurant—the first has been around for over 30 years. They know what they’re doing. Small space, so definitely make a reservation—but bar seating is just as good (we sat there and loved it). Carlos the bartender and the whole staff were amazing. We were the only Black/brown folks there, and felt completely welcomed. Don’t miss this spot—real food, real hospitality, real experience.“

“Delicious food. We wanted a bite after a hike in the Great Falls area and this sounded like a good place to try. There was plenty of free parking and we were seated immediately upon going in. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, with a very relaxed atmosphere. Everything on the menu looked so good so we started off with some appetizers, both of which were delicious. I loved the Shirazi salad, which was delicious and refreshing. The kashk e bademjoon had a great flavor profile and went wonderfully with the pita bread. For my meal I had the chicken shawarma, which was probably one of the best I’ve had. The chicken was so moist and flavorful, with just a hint of cardamom. My wife had the apple orchard salad, and son the gyro Greek salad. This place is a must-try.“

“Really good food you won’t find anywhere else.“

“My first time here. The atmosphere was great, parking was readily available on the street and lot, and the staff was very attentive.“

“taste very good“

“I am so happy to discover GreenFare Organic Cafe in Herndon, VA! Their food is delicious and healthy. I highly recommend the mushroom enchilada and pumpkin soup! If you are looking to treat your body well without compromising taste, I highly recommend you check it out!“

“Traditional Irish Pub atmosphere.“

“Exceptional food! Entire staff is very personable, owner is present and greets the guests. And food is the best I have had in the area!!!!“

“This place works. If you give them money, they’ll supply you with alcohol for consumption…“

“Great food and friendly staff!“

“First time here. We came on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty empty so we sat right away. Service and friendly and fast. We got 3 things to share: rainbow soup dumplings(really good), wontons in Spicy peanut sauce (delicious), pork belly over rice (so good). We live in the neighborhood and will definitely be back!“

“Best ice cream and best flavors ever!!! Ice cream is creamy and rich. A huge selection of flavors making it impossible to pick just one. Many of the usuals and tons of delicious, creative flavors. Totally tastes homemade. Nothing else in the area compares“

“Food and environment are phenomenal. Staff is always great“

“We went apple picking and visited the cidery on Saturday (our second and now annual visit. Steve and his team were amazing! We can't wait to go back hopefully before the season ends this year but definitely next year. Doyle and Merri“

“My favorite things I had here were the harissa dipping sauce for the bread, and the Scallop Risotto, specifically the mushroom saffron risotto in the dish. As for the other dishes, I think everything tasted good but also nothing blew me away. I would say there are Mediterranean restaurants I like better in Bethesda and DC, but as for Rockville this might be my favorite. Therefore, I probably wouldn't go too out of my way to come here but I think it's a very nice option if you live nearby.“

“Grape Escape is a unique treasure – they have a fantastic beer/wine selection, they’re a cool local hangout/bar, and they’re an intimate live music venue. The beers are perfectly cold, and the staff warm and helpful. I enjoyed Grape Escape under previous ownership and have found the new owners to be equally as gracious and completely committed to maintaining and growing its coolness. I look forward to many more years of frequenting this fun shop and gathering place!“

“the best spaghetti with meatballs that I tried and the service was excellent from Beatriz !!!“

“Nice neighborhood spot — good food with large portions! Folksy — people will talk to you! Slightly noisy, but not in a bad way. Wait staff is excellent — ask for “Junior”, he will take care of you!!! Check out his mustard and ketchup shoes!!!“

“My son Jake’s place continues to innovate and grow — DC location opening soon!“

“My wife and I are from southwest of China. I would say Chef Lee's Element makes the best and the most authentic southwest Chinese dishes in DC area. We've tried almost every dish and it never lets us down. For the service, I want to thank Micheal for his kind and wonderful service, he is always smiling and talkative and gives his nice recommendations of the dishes. We go there almost every week.“

“I just visited Paris Baguette and had an absolutely perfect experience. The shop was spotless, the pastries were fresh, and everything looked as good as it tasted. John was incredible warm, welcoming, and attentive in a way that truly elevated the visit. The staff kindness and professionalism made the whole experience stand out. I left feeling genuinely taken care of, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Loved it enough to go back the next day to try another dish. Really enjoyed blackened fish taco plate and then the salmon taco plate the next day. Also had the ceviche. It was flavorful and I enjoyed it. I was recently spoiled having ceviche in Ecuador...and Ecuadorean ceviche wins in a head to head.“
