   Excellent dining experience. The food was absolutely delicious. Good service and great ambience. I especially liked that the feeling was energetic, but quiet. We were able to have a wonderful conversation throughout the meal without having to ever raise our voices. Thank you!

   Best burger we’ve had in a long time. Our waiter Keith was wonderful as was all the other staff members that helped make our evening wonderful. We will return soon!

   I requested "Smith's date night" and they made it happen right on the menu.

   Went with my wife and her sister to celebrate a birthday last night and everything was wonderful. The restaurant is elegantly comfy, the food really fantastic (most of it wood grilled) and the service was impeccable! We’ll be back again soon.

   Celebrating Valentine's Day with my wife so wanted a new place with a reputation for great food. Certainly lived up to the reviews. Staff were great, food from starters to dessert was delicious. We will return for sure.

   Great dinner. We enjoyed the burrata, the beet salad, and the rockfish with risotto. Also had great service.

   Seriously you charged for the martini olives separately? Then added a non-cash payment charge and don’t even inform the customer. This has gotten ridiculous. Way to make the customer feel like they are being nickel and dime. Reasons enough not to return.

    Black's Bar & Kitchen in Bethesda has become a favorite choice for lunch meetings. Easy to park, and easy for people from DC to reach via metro. Had a relaxed, long conversation with an old friend/colleague. He loved the Oyster Po' Boy; I was very happy with the gumbo. Had a few moments when it took a while to get someone's attention, but not excessive. Policy is to offer a discount for paying in cash. Worth preparing ahead if you have a large group or want to splurge.
