The entire staff was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and knowledgeable, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Everyone went above and beyond to make us feel taken care of. I’m absolutely obsessed with this place and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend Yume Sushi to anyone looking for amazing sushi and exceptional service!“

“Dalia's Falafel catered my husband's big bash birthday party last weekend. It was the best catering experience we have ever had, and I want everyone within a 100 mile radius of downtown Bethesda to know about this fantastic establishment located at 7750 Old Georgetown Rd, Bethesda, 20814. Ben, Cody and Kevin provided more than generous portions of outstanding food as well as practical support and guidance on preparing, presenting, serving, and storing their delicious trays of salads, sauces and, of course, falafels. They made the entire experience simple and easy. The value of the service we received was far greater than the fee that we paid -- truly! Please don't hesitate to consider Dalia's Falfel, a unique party option, for your next celebration“

“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!“

“The service exceeds all expectations! We had a very large party of 16 who were so engaged in conversations that the servers had to ask many times who had what, and each time they did so with a wonderful, kind spirit! The food was fantastic even considering the small kitchen! Even the restroom was immaculate! It was almost a 2 hour trip for us to get there but we'll worth the trip! 5 we'll earned stars!“

“In recent years there seems to be a proliferation of small-plate Mediterranean restaurants. But Yayla remains as one of the best, reasonably priced originals in northern Virginia. There is a pleasing range of mezzes, salads, entrees hot and cold, flat breads, spreads, etc . I had a Yayla mule, 3 spreads, lemony rice soup and superb shrimp. Friends chose a range of other dishes. I can guarantee whatever you choose, you won’t be disappointed. Everything is flavorful, fresh and beautifully presented. Wait staff and servers are friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and not obtrusive. Don’t miss the nice selection of creative cocktails, wine variety and desserts. Continued success and best wishes for this popular bistro!“

“My daughter recently moved to the area. After a long day of cleaning and unpacking boxes we ordered pizza for dinner. This is the BEST pizza! The crust was perfect. It was not greasy. It was sliced perfectly-easy to pick up. Location was easy to find and service was SUPER friendly! I am looking forward to eating here again when I’m in town!“

“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.“

“Favorite Greek / Mediterranean restaurant in DC area. So many healthy, tasty options. Could eat their Greek salad everyday— the dressing is so good they serve it with a spoon. Salivating as I write this. The restaurant is great for lunch as well, not just for dinner! Top notch wait staff too, always friendly and hospitable.“

“Our first visit to Cafe Renaissance and will not be our last. Wonderful staff, menu and food. The wine list is extensive and overall dining experience could not have been better; it was a super evening.“

“My family and I love PLNT Burger. It is always a special treat because the closest location is 40 minutes away. You can't go wrong with the cheeseburgers, fries and a shake. My kids love the grilled cheese kids meal. Marlon (Tysons location) always provides friendly service with a smile! I always know we'll have a great meal when he's working.“

“They have a wide variety of healthy food. Especially, their smoothies. They are out of this world and healthy for you. You need to check this place out.“

“Exactly the kind of Indian place you want. Not fancy or overpriced, but elegant and well priced prepared curries and other classic dishes. There are so many trendy and hyper-stylized Indian places in DC, but if you’re looking for a comforting curry with great service, don’t look any further! Can’t recommend this great neighborhood spot highly enough.“

“i love this place! Great vibes, such a wonderful aura. Eli took care of my party's every need. So professional! 10/10 will definitely be back!“

“The BEST VALUE all-you-can-eat place! Excellent, fresh food and clean!!! (even their women's bathroom is clean!) And great services, especially Amy! By the way, it is hard for me to believe this restaurant does not get 5 stars! We travel all the way from VA to this place at least two times a month. We just love it!!! P.S. I read the reviews that did not give them 5 stars and feel those reviews may not be fair to them. As an example, one review gave them a 4-star commenting food is great, quality is great, but expensive. Yes, if you compare this place with most cheap Chinese all you can ear places, $33 does seem expensive. However, fresh and high-quality food cost me. I am willing to pay extra for good, fresh food. As another example, I was shocked to see a review giving them only 3 stars commenting she got sick (even though she said she loved the food there). I was wondering if she did not cook her food well in the hot pot, or she couldn't handle the spices.“

“Delicious food and excellent quality! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. They took the time to help me stay on track with my calorie-counting diet and made sure I was meeting my protein goals. Great customer service and healthy options—I highly recommend this place!“

“This place is great! A nice chill vibe with a great happy hour and sports on. Really enjoyed my mocktail and apps here. The only complaint I have is every time I have come to this specific restaurant I have gotten over 8 bug bites each time. Management, please do some regular treatments as I don’t have this problem elsewhere.“

“Food was great. Overall satisfied with the meal. Wait staff was quick and friendly. Worth a visit. Only way it could be improved is to have citronella candles on the table. There are no candles on the tables outside. Be sure to tip generously!“

“Chocolate pudding 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“We had such a great experience. Lizz was our server and she was amazing!!! This was our family’s first time here and we were celebrating our son for earning straight A’s on his report card. They gave him the most delicious donuts and Lizz made really excellent dish recommendations. We will return for sure!!“

“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“

“Everything was perfect, the service, food and cocktails! Look forward to returning.“

“The food was fresh and delicious!“

“First time here today. The food was amazing! Service was excellent! ❤ I love Afghan food.“
