They go the extra mile in sorting the marshmallows out from lucky charm cereal box for use in their cocktails.“

“Tonight we ate as a family here at this very very Chinese family atyle Restaurant. All of the food is made to order it is fresh and it is delicious. They are known for their Szechuan style cooking so spicy is their specialty! Tonight we had the frog, The salt and pepper shrimp, the ribs and The sweet-and-sour shrimp. Every bowl was better than the next. We will be back again!“

My husband and I have keep it in regular rotation alongside China Bistro (Mama's Dumplings), and Sichuan Jin River. Becky and Wendy are incredibly hospitable, and the food is consistently spot-on.

“Great place with superb food , friendly staff, and great service. Highly recommended!👍👍👍👍👍“

“Highly recommend. We had an excellent experience at Terre Gaucha. As party of 12 can sometimes be challenging, but the staff handled everything with ease, professionalism, and attentiveness. They were knowledgeable and quick to answer any questions, ensuring a seamless dining experience for our group. The hot and cold bar offered a wide variety of options, though the highlight of our visit was the churrasco service. The selection of meats was outstanding—beef was especially tender and flavorful, while the pork, shrimp, chicken, and salmon were equally impressive. We look forward to returning and would strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone considering a Brazilian churrasco dining experience.“

“There are steakhouses that sell beef, and there are steakhouses that sell ritual. Medium Rare in Bethesda understands this distinction with the calm certainty of a Parisian waiter who has seen three revolutions and still refuses to split the check.

You arrive thinking you’re getting dinner. What you’re really getting is doctrine: bread warm enough to make diplomacy possible, a salad dressed with enough mustard to wake the dead, and then the famous procession — steak sliced thin beneath that green peppercorn sauce that lands on the table like artillery support. The fries arrive in impossible abundance, followed shortly by the second helping, because Medium Rare subscribes to the old French principle that restraint is for Calvinists and people with no appetite.

The room hums with Bethesda ambition: lobbyists, exhausted consultants, first dates, silver-haired couples who’ve been arguing since the Carter administration. Everyone united beneath the banner of red meat and clarified butter. Glasses of wine appear and disappear with military efficiency. Somewhere a server announces “second round of fries” with the moral gravity of a cathedral bell.

But the restaurant’s greatest flourish may be hidden in the bathroom, where French lessons adorn the walls like graffiti from a civilized empire. You stand there memorizing useful phrases while washing peppercorn sauce from your hands. “Où est la bibliothèque?” “Je voudrais un café.” It is perhaps the only restaurant in Maryland where you can leave knowing both how to order steak frites and how to ask directions in Lyon.

And somehow it works. The whole enterprise feels faintly absurd, deeply confident, and unmistakably charming — like an American trying very hard to become French and accidentally succeeding for two hours at a time.

Medium Rare does not pretend to be subtle cuisine. It is abundance, repetition, butter, noise, and confidence. In Bethesda, that may be the closest thing to authenticity there is.“

“Excelente el arroz con pato!!! Me encanto!!“

“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“

“I recently discovered nomtastickim on Instagram and her Asian restaurant reviews. I don't like American food, but I've liked everything I've eaten after seeing her Asian restaurant reviews.
I picked up three items this morning at Morning My Day. The choices were plentiful and tempting. A coconut braid-not too sweet, just perfect for early morning with coffee or tea, a curry pork sung bread that was absolutely hands down delish-heated it in the oven for 5 minutes and ate it with hot sauce, and a purple yam flower bun-delicious but know that the bread consistency might not be what you're used to? It's a very moist dense dough. The lady had a genuinely welcoming smile. The shop was easy to find. I found parking quickly. There is one table, maybe two. It's more of a carry-out place. I will be back.“

“Great atmoshere, high-end stylish dining room, comfortable seating. The salmon dish was delicious and a large portion. The spinach rice side dish was so delicious! 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!“

“This is my all-time favorite place for Italian spaghetti. Excellent food. The servers are the best. If you drive anywhere near this place you should be sure to stop in!“

“Best cup of coffee in Montgomery County. Nice people, good food.“

“Awesome“

“ERIC is the man! He makes the best salads. My husband comes here about once a week and he is always happy to see Eric working because he does the best salad chopping and makes sure every customer he serves is happy with their bowl. We came in tonight for 3 salads and surprise Eric was working. We hope everyone gets to experience a salad made by Eric we appreciate him more than he knows.“

“I recently visited Nanxiang Soup Dumpling and had a wonderful experience. The soup dumplings were delicious and full of flavor. I also want to give a special mention to, Zhi, who provided excellent service and gave me good suggestions when I order the food. He was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great dumplings!“

“I recently visited Oliva’s Kitchen Food & Fusion in Bethesda, and it truly feels like a hidden gem. It’s a small, locally owned spot that you might miss if you’re not looking for it—but it’s definitely worth finding.

I ordered the breakfast burrito, and it did not disappoint. It was fresh, flavorful, and really satisfying without being overly heavy. The ingredients tasted high quality, and everything was well-balanced. And honestly—one thing that really stood out—they actually know how to wrap a burrito. That’s surprisingly hard to find on the East Coast, and it made the whole experience even better (no falling apart halfway through!).

What stood out most is how this place blends comfort food with a unique fusion twist. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and you can tell there’s real care behind the food.

If you’re in Bethesda and want to support a small business while trying something different from the usual spots, I’d highly recommend checking this place out.“

“Amazing place and services. They serve beautiful bakery. Especially, white whipped cream cake is the best. It’s perfectly balanced in sweetness, with light whipped cream, fresh fruit, and incredibly soft cake layers—it all comes together beautifully.“

“I usually don’t leave reviews, but Teazzi is the exception. The employees are very kind and accommodating, even understanding when I accidentally ordered the wrong drink and made another drink free of charge. 100000/10. Very thankful. Can’t recommend this place enough!!! 💗💗💗“

“Great,have everything to eat,i like it.“

“This place seriously has the most amazing, juicy sandwiches. I don’t know why other places don’t offer something like this! The staff are friendly, and the food is just perfect. I’m definitely going to visit again. If you’re looking for the best sandwich in town, you’ve got to visit this place! Highly recommended!“

“The food here is extremely delicious and they have the best fries I've ever had from a restaurant. Scrumptious... if it wasn't as unhealthy and expensive as it is I'd eat here every day. It's my favorite vegan food place in Rockville. I always get the Egg Sammy and fries. 1000/10 Updated from previous review on 2026-01-12“

“I only had a small black coffee and a cheese bread, but the lady behind the counter provided me excellent service. The coffee was very good and the cheese bread was good as well. It was a pleasant atmosphere as I had my coffee and bread while reading at one of the tables inside.“

“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.“

“10/10 spot to host a small group! I had my birthday party here for about 15 people and it was such a nice time. The staff were super helpful during the whole process and really made my group feel welcome. Can’t rave about Third Hill Brewing enough!“

“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.“

“Great food and friendly staff!“
