Best Casual Restaurants in Bethesda

Awesome service despite not sitting in front of the chef (our choice )

Amazing food and drinks, and our server was lovely - friendly and attentive. The restaurant is small so I'd recommend making a reservation, but we'll definitely be back!

First time dining there. Unexpectedly great food. Fast service. Crowded so really glad I used open table for reservations.

First time dining there and the food was fresh and delicious. We had fried calamari as an appetizer. It was crispy and well prepared not rubbery. My wife and I ordered the steak with white rice also very good. They could improve their dessert menu since there were limited options.

The crab beignets were a surprise in terms of flavor and quality while the soup of the day--apple and butternut squash with a little dribble of spicy oil was very pleasing. We had the salmon with roasted brussels sprouts/mushroom/onions and the lamb bolognese--both were excellent. Service was great with good explanations of menu items, answers to our questions, and timeliness of attending to our table. It's a very casual place and the noise level was moderate though we were early diners though the place filled at dinner as we were leaving. Have already recommended to others and look forward to a return visit especially to try the chicken and waffles or the shrimp and grits.
