“Good people, great b music.“

“First time here! Love this place!“

“Lunch with small group on a quiet winter weekday no one else in the place. My steakhouse burger was nicely cooked but non-memberable. The place did provide me with the option for a side salad instead of fries, which was made with fresh greens and very tasty. My friend was able to get her burger on gluten-free bread, and they nicely put her accompanying fries on a separate plate for the rest of us to nosh on.“

“I have ate multiple times at this restaurant and the service and food was fantastic! The food was hot and seasoned to perfectio“

“Excellent service and wonderful ambience ! The Reuben with their in-house made corned beef is on the short list of sandwiches I consider the Best! Bravo !!“

“Our server was very friendly, and gave us a lot of helpful information about the restaurant or even recommendations of what food to order and explore the restaurant.

I was surprised about the Zucchini chips as the sauce and crispness of the chips was delicious.

The atmosphere is very unique and fun to be in.“

“the BEST place to be on a Wednesday night!! Line dancing here is so much fun. Lessons from 7-8pm which are great for beginners, and then open dancing from 8-10pm. Arielle leads a great class with tons of energy. There is also pool, cheap drinks, and food!“

“I had such a great experience at Mosaic Cuisine! We absolutely loved everything about it. The atmosphere is cozy, clean, and very chic — a really pleasant place to sit and enjoy a meal.

We ordered the Breakfast Mosaic and a Nutella waffle with fresh strawberries and banana, and both were amazing. Everything was super tasty and beautifully prepared. The hash browns deserve a special mention — honestly the best hash browns I’ve had in my entire life! Perfectly crispy and full of flavor.

The coffee and strawberry lemonade were also amazing - fresh and delicious!! The only thing I didn’t personally care for was their syrup, but that didn’t take away from how delicious everything else was.

Overall, a fantastic experience. Great food and service, lovely atmosphere, and a perfect spot to enjoy with family. We will definitely be coming back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Everytime I have visited Qategna, the service and atmosphere is always excellent. This is a great place for groups or even those looking for a more private experience. Also they have great happy hour prices for hookah and drinks if you're looking to save some money. There's also have plenty of parking available.“

“I consider Jackie and the crew at Hook & Reel Wheaton to be friends of mine. I work close by and pop in at the bar often. The Happy Hour, which starts at 1PM (yes, you read that correctly) has insanely low prices, and the "pour" on both glasses of wine and cocktails are unmatched. Great ambience, clean as a whistle, a ton of regulars at the bar and a Touchtunes jukebox on the wall to bring your own soundtrack with you. What's not to LOVE about this place? 🍷🍹🥂🍻🦀“

“Wait staff are terrific! Friendly and helpful, they know my favorite order but don’t take it for granted that on Monday I will always ask for a burger!“

“Nice hotel and don’t forget about that delicious cookie!“

“The acting by the 2 leads in this play was outstanding. I was blown away by the talent of these 2 young actors. The play was very well done and memorable! I'm so glad I went to see it last night. Bravo, Round House!“

“I love this place! They have a bunch of local and craft beers on tap and one of the best selections of beers for retail in the area. If there is a beer you are looking for but can’t find, as long as the county sticks it, Ashish (the fabulous, friendly owner) will order it. The store is very clean and bright, I never have trouble finding parking, and the prices are on par with other stores. In the wine side of things, there is a good variety and prices seem a little lower than other area stores.“

“An absolute gem in Kensington.

An outstanding beer and wine selection. The staff is great and Volker in particular has been super helpful in giving us beer recommendations and info.

If you decide to dine in they have a really nice food menu and always have a great draft list with a bunch of local Maryland beers on tap.“

“Such an awesome place! The beer on tap is such a great selection, the owner and beertenders are all fun and nice. The regulars are all fun and welcoming. There's also a store side where you can buy beer and wine, all great selections. Highly recommend them for your next alcohol purchase on the go or to just go and chill.“

“Mezeh in Gaithersburg, Maryland is wonderful. Generous portions, the greatest variety of superb vegetable toppings, and the best falafel. Manager Mayra and employees are friendly, helpful, efficient.“

“Wonderful lunch at Sebseb Ethiopian Restaurant! The vegetable platter with fish and beef was delicious, and the Ethiopian coffee was superb. Friendly staff, great service, and an authentic atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Ethiopian cuisine and hospitality“

“Went to World of Beer with some friends and had a solid time overall. Huge beer selection and the staff was helpful with recommendations since there were honestly too many options lol. Food was better than expected too, especially for a beer spot. Place got pretty loud and busy later in the night, but that’s kind of the vibe there anyway. Good spot to hang out, watch games, and relax.“

“My husband and I decided to stay here overnight during our drive home from a beach vacation. I am covered in mosquito bites and am just miserable. I couldn’t wait to take a shower. Well let me tell you, I have NEVER taken a shower as good as the shower I just took in this hotel. It scratched every mosquito bite on my body simultaneously and felt so amazing. The provided toiletries smell like I just stepped out of a spa. The towel was fluffy but not linty. The water pressure was immaculate. The temperature was consistent and easy to set to the perfect amount of hotness. And my skin doesn’t feel like it’s been stripped of all of its moisture like it does after a shower at most hotels. I will only stay at this chain from now on if they’re all like this. I need to know how to get this at home. I’m serious. Best shower of my life.“

“This just might be my new Monday night spot. Game night and karaoke vibes were real chill. Lots of laughters, lots of fun, looks off inner child joy. Probably might be the best Beef Tibs I ever tasted and so tender. Just might have set a new standard. Waitress was friendly, host was friendly. It was truly a vibe that I needed.“

“Delicious pizzas, love their doughs!!“

“We had a fantastic dinner! Great food and great staff. We had a variety of appetizers and rolls; with the crispy rice, torch roll and Maryland roll being the best! Thank you Linda for the recommendations, you didn’t let us down! We will be back to try Linda’s other favorite dishes. :)“

“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!“

“My family and I visited Satay Club on Wisconsin Avenue in Washington, DC, and we loved it so much that we came back the very next day!

The food was absolutely outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and authentic. Every dish we tried was delicious, and you could tell it was prepared with care and attention to detail.

A special thank you to Howaah for making both visits so memorable. She was warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. She always seemed to anticipate what we needed before we even had to ask and made sure our family was comfortable throughout our meals. Her positive attitude, professionalism, and friendly personality truly stood out and added so much to our dining experience.

Great food and exceptional service are hard to find, but Satay Club delivered both. We left feeling like valued guests and look forward to returning again soon. Highly recommended!“

“I pick up dinner at Strings once a week. My favorites are the wings (dry rub), blackened salmon, and the crab cake dinners. They have never disappointed me on the quality of the food.“

“Good music good food good“

“If you’re looking for a place that serves up dry ciders, look no further. You have to order everything online and they bring it out to you. I’ll definitely return to buy some more ciders to-go.“

“Visited San Pacho today and overall had a really solid experience. I had the quesadilla, and my friend got the California burrito—which comes loaded with fries inside and was honestly really good and filling. One thing I really appreciated was that they offer non-alcoholic slushies. I tried the guava one and it was so good, super refreshing and definitely a standout. I was a little surprised they don’t offer tacos, but the menu still has great options that hit the spot. The food, staff, and overall vibe were all on point—friendly service and a chill atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer than planned. Only heads-up is parking can be a bit tricky on busier days, so plan accordingly. Overall, a great spot I’d definitely come back to.“

“worst service ever. My family and I actually had to walk out and we were a group of 10. They did not want to serve us and I was told I should of made reservations. I watched the waitress/server clean other people’s table and completely ignore us. A customer who was a regular had to wipe down my table for us (I should’ve walked out then )but we drove an hour to come here And we were trying to just deal with the poor customer service so we can eat. Customers that were seated after us were able to order before us and receive their food. when we finally had the opportunity to order food we were told that they were out of oxtails pork and fish which made no sense because people were still ordering takeout for the same items we were trying to order.. You would think we were sitting there for free meals. The waitress told me she was going to the back to check to see what they have but when she came back she went to the bar area and started taking someone else’s orders and completely ignored us .We ended up walking out with no apology given. She Just looked at us as if she was happy to see us go because she couldn’t handle a table size of 10 people. All we were trying to do was support our Haitians. Its a shame we were treated so poorly. I suggested this restaurant to my family who drove an hour to be treated so poorly .Do not visit this restaurant“

“GREAT OUTDOOR PATIO, FRIENDLY STAFF, AND EXCELLENT FOOD. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE LAMB BURGER 👍😉“

“Excellent selection of dishes, full of flavors that make your taste buds undecided on what to order first; just this experience will get you to come back again and again.“

“The jambalaya was super good, flavorful sauce and tender chunks of seafood. It wasn't spicy to me, but still enjoyable regardless. Our waiter was super friendly and accommodating despite how busy it was. I will definitely try to come back and get different items from the menu!“

“We were absolutely thrilled to work with Jess at Moreland’s Tavern for our wedding rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks. Jess was fantastic from start to finish, helping us create the perfect event and menu while staying within our budget. The upstairs of the restaurant was set up beautifully for our party, complete with a photo slideshow of us playing on the TVs, which added a nice personal touch. The dinner was delicious, and our rehearsal dinner guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the roasted chicken was! After the sit-down dinner, Jess and her team seamlessly transitioned the space into a more casual area where the rest of our guests could mix and mingle, complete with an open bar and light snacks. The bartenders, Jess and Max, were absolute pros—our guests certainly kept them busy and they did an amazing job keeping us and everyone happy throughout the night. Jess and the team at Moreland’s Tavern made our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks unforgettable. As our neighbors up the street, we are so glad Moreland’s was a part of our wedding weekend as a favorite neighborhood spot we can revisit again and again. We highly recommend them for anyone looking for a great event venue with top-notch service!“

“Mother’s Day celebration with family was especially great because of the amazing atmosphere and awesome service at Barrel and Crow. It was our first time visiting this establishment and certainly will not be our last. Shout out to the owner and her staff.“

“The Grove in Potomac is truly a gem. What they’ve done with the space is incredible, it’s warm, inviting, and beautifully designed, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal. My go-to dishes are the chopped salad and the honey walnut salad—both are fresh, flavorful, and consistently excellent, proving that simple dishes done well can really shine. Add in the live music on Thursday nights, and The Grove becomes more than just dinner—it’s an experience. The atmosphere, food, and music come together to create an amazing evening that feels both elevated and comfortable. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual meal or planning a night out, The Grove never disappoints.“

“Owner is a super great guy! We were visiting the metro area and ate twice on our stay. The bacon cheeseburger eggrolls are superior! Everything else we had was great as well!“

“Had my daughter’s 15th birthday dinner today. The place was BUSY with a charity bar crawl. Even so, they did a great job attending to us and my meal was great! Rick was an amazing host. Will definitely come back again!“

“The reason I recommend this restaurant is because the environment, service and facilities of this restaurant are very good!“

“This is a great neighborhood spot for beer and wine. I typically stop by for the weekly trivia but I've also attended larger networking events here and come over for the ocassional night cap. It's a cozy place and the staff is always attentive and friendly.“
