“We've been about 5 times within 2024 and have never been disappointed. the food taste fresh and hot. You can determine the amount of seasoning you like, and condiments you like for your seafood. We never had an empty platter (at least until we said when). I will continue coming with my family throughout the year.“

“absolutely delicious and would recommend to anyone!“

“For some reason we were skeptical about returning to the premises after the experience we had under the previous owners. It was a massive mistake - my wife and I thought we would 'give it a try' and I am kicking myself for all the times we drove into DC from Silver Spring looking for a fun place to eat! From the moment we met Aidan Rinehart the GM, until we received and paid the check, we were blown away by the vibey atmosphere, the speed of delivery and the great tasting and well presented food. Alyssa, our server, deserves a special mention for her knowledge of the products, her attentive but unobtrusive service and exceptional friendliness. She is an absolute asset to Zinnia and we hope that she'll be there for as long as we patronise ZInnia, and it is well worth patronising. We look forward to trying the dinner menu, but we will definitely be back for a repeat 'Tavern' experience as well Compliments to the owner, GM, chef and staff - see you all again soon!“

“This is a magical and intimate place to enjoy live music -- the primary reason I go. It has been around for a looong time. The atmosphere is wonderful! The food is good, although the service is a little slow, usually because they are careful about not disturbing the music experience. I also enjoy the regulars who are there as it is a neighborhood bar as well. Friendly warm and inviting atmosphere.“

“Accepting of those with disabilities. Thank you.“

“Excellent choice of sushi resturant that fits in between casual and fine dining. It has an extensive menu of Japanese choices so you are not limited to sushi. I went with their sushi special offered with finer cuts of fish and was impressed with the selection. I also tried their truffle shoyu ramen and did not think it was that great. The egg which should be one of the best parts is not properly prepared. The broth just felt lacking and not rich in flavor. They gave a lot of noodles but did not find them to be very tasty. It was my fault because this is a sushi resturant and ramen is not their speciality.“

“southern and northern Italian specialty foods. Chef Ettore the best!“

“This is my 1st Valentine’s dinner date. We had a pawsome 🐾 time here. It’s the best dog-friendly restaurant in the DMV area. This place is so welcoming paw 🐾 fur babies like me, people are very friendly, the atmosphere and the vibes is so uplifting, food is delicious, and their signature coffee is the best!

“Not too much ambiance, it's situated in the lobby of the hotel so what more can you expect. Food was pretty good, aside from the apple pear salad which was not good, it didn't taste fresh at all. The crab cakes and salmon were delicious though! The service was great as well, very friendly wait staff.“

“Kudos to Tianna and the two wonderful gentlemen work the kitchen this evening.

We experienced wonderful service and the food was amazing. Even with being out of some items, Tianna and staff were able to bring smiles to our faces and we left with our bellies full!

Thank you again ?“

“I absolutely love visiting Colada at Cabin John Village—it’s truly one of my favorite spots! The service is consistently amazing every single time I go. The team is always friendly and welcoming, and you can feel the positive energy as soon as you walk in.

I have to give a special shout-out to Enya and Melissa—they go above and beyond to make every experience exceptional. Whether it’s remembering your order, offering the perfect recommendation, or simply greeting you with a smile, they make you feel genuinely valued as a customer.

If you’re looking for great coffee, delicious bites, and the kind of service that brightens your day, Colada is the place to be. Thank you, Enya and Melissa, for always making my visits so special!“

“Stayed just one night but what a comfortable night it was. The staff was very friendly and the room was spacious and clean. I can't wait to return!“

“Excelente servicio y el personal muy amable.“

“Salt Line was a perfect pick for a get-to-know-you lunch with a new contact. The food was terrific - we each had a salad topped with seafood, fresh and perfectly presented. Service was Goldilocks - not too fast, not too slow, leaving us plenty of time for conversation. It's Bethesda prices but you get what you pay for.“

“Great local distillery. My buddy and I did a tasting in the summer and their Rum Punch and 1812 were incredible. Their 1812 tastes equal to Blood Oath and other ultra top shelf bottles. We bought a few bottles, but now need to physically go back and get more. ABC's don't carry them and we don't know of anywhere else to buy them besides their tasting room. The owner mentioned that they also sell at certain farmer's markets. But not sure which ones.“

“We dined as a family of five on a Friday evening. The atmosphere was spectacular while sitting on the patio overlooking the beautiful grounds. Our meal started with wings and soup. The wings were the perfect level of crispness with bold flavor. We also ordered the new tomato soup and that was rich, warm, creamy and deliciously we would definitely order it again. When our entree’s arrived we were left disappointed. I ordered the 8 oz filet with fries, and two spices, Gael I butter and brandy pepper corn. The filet was drowned in what I can only describe as McCormick’s Montreal Steak Seasoning. I am a purist and believe a fine cut of steak only needs salt and pepper. I could only make it half way through my steak because of the tremendous amount of salt. I was disappointed that it was a house blend of spices especially with a chef in the kitchen. The steak sauces while had a great flavor were over powered by the extreme seasonings and were severed cold and mildly gelatinous. My husband got the steak and seafood trio. He raved about the lobster ravioli however his steak was full of gristle and not very edible. We ended our meal with a crème brûlée. The custard was missing the bold vanilla flavor and was pretty bland. The sugar crust was crop and perfect. The cocktails were made fresh and delicious however when the check arrived we realized that we were charged full price instead of the happy hour pricing. Overall, the appetizers and cocktails were delicious and the atmosphere can’t be beat. We are hoping we just came on an off night for the chef. We hope to come back to try it again. We can certainly see the potential.“

“Looking forward to many more visits soon. Today was my initial dining experience and I am very satisfied! Fantastic soup and swallows; full bar; and did you know there's a dance floor?“

“I've anticipated the opening of the restaurant. It's authentic mexican ambiance. Friendly staff. Delicious food, best Mexican food I've had since I moved to the DMV. I'll be back. It's Cinco de Mayo and it's my first time here. Catherine was my waitress and she was amazing.“

“Lively upscale restaurant, feels like a mix of fine dining and local bar. Service is great, Tim was excellent.
I tried the calamari and was impressed. Perfectly cooked, right amount of breading with a delicious garlic basil sauce. I also enjoyed the crab cake sandwich. I thought it would be too much bread, but the brioche bun worked well and it wasn’t too heavy. I finished with the rye old fashioned, delicious with a nutty taste.“

“Went and tried the Italian sub and the meatball today.Absolutely delicious and fresh!“

“I visited the Breakfast Club on yesterday for our Sisters outing and it was very nice, the staff were accommodating and the food was really good. I had the Seaford Fried Rice it was flavorful and plentiful, Kudos to the Chef. I definitely will come again.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed dining on the rooftop, an amazing experience. The food was delicious. The Old Bay Honey Wings and Truffle fries were the best! The drinks were great too! Great service and relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend!!!“
