“On St. Patrick's Day, my mom wanted green beer, so we went to The Barking Dog. The gastropub was filled with sports fanatics. Since alcoholic drinks weren't permitted in the patio area, we were seated at a booth near the bathroom. My brother had an O'Doul's, my fiancé had a Crooked Crab Haze for Days Pale Ale, my parent shared a New Trails Crisp Lager (dyed green), and I had a Green Tea Cocktail. We shared an order of Pub Pretzels, which was served warm and with a spicy cheese dipping sauce.“
“Highly recommended sitting at the bar!! We chatted with the bartender Nick most of the night and he made us some of the best cocktails (N/A ones too). Lots of great options and phenomenal service. Definitely want to come back.Dietary restrictions: They were meticulous with making sure nothing was served to me that had nuts in it!“
“Such a wonderful fun atmosphere! Top notch comedians. Laugh for two hours. My first time being here, but will definitely be a regular. Friendly cozy and on top of that made new friends! We ate before the show at the restaurant and could bring our drinks in plastic cups to the show. Thank You Laugh Riot for best start of our weekend!“
“Been dining at Bacchus for decades and can't think of a bad thing to say. Occasionally service is slow but you could regard that instead as Middle Eastern "Leisurely" and enjoy your companions' sparkling conversation. They do eggplant several ways, all good. Don't miss the Bacchus eggplant dip. My DH thought he hated eggplant with a passion till he tried it - now he can't get enough! I'm a pescatarian and love small plates as I'm also ADD - this place is perfect for that. My family adore the shish taouk. And unlike many Mideast restaurants, you're not confined to Middle Eastern desserts - they've got a grand chocolate lava cake on the menu if baklava or knafeh aren't your thing. It's usually not noisy and the outdoor terrace is a grand place to sit on a fine afternoon or early evening once DST kicks in (like, now!). My only complaint is lunch ends at 2 and they're closed till 5, so if you want lunch, get there by 12;30. We once showed up at 1 pm and felt rushed by the staff. There, I found something to complain about! Thanks, Bacchus, for many great meals in pleasant surroundings and atmosphere. PS Fabulous ladies' room with mirrors that turn you into 100 images of yourself from every angle. :-)“
“We were having dinner with friends in Bethesda, but got there early so we decided to stop by this place for a margarita before going to the dinner. We had some spicy skinny margaritas and chips and salsa. Both the margaritas and the chips were great. We cannot speak to the rest of the menu, but will likely come back to try it out.“
“I made reservations for a party of four for New Year's Eve to have dinner before a show at the Bethesda Theatre. Two of our party arrived before me, as I was running about five minutes late with my guest, and they were able to be seated immediately which was great because some restaurants won't seat your party if everyone isn't there. The table side service is always a bit lackluster and slow. Never particularly friendly or accommodating but adequate. We ordered the duck nachos as an appetizer which, as always, were amazing. One of our party wanted the branzino entree but asked if he could swap out the sides for the salmon entrée sides and he was told that it wasn't possible, which is strange for a kitchen at this price point. He decided to go ahead and order the salmon entrée so he could have the sides he wanted but to be honest, as the person who picked the restaurant for the evening, I was a bit annoyed that he couldn't have the food exactly how he wanted it prepared. I had the seared scallop special which consisted of scallops with risotto instead of the mashed potatoes they normally come with. The risotto was a bit overly complicated with mushrooms and shaved brussels sprouts throughout, which took away from the texture and flavor of the risotto which I could barely taste. However, the scallops were perfectly prepared and the dish itself was good if you didn't expect to have traditional risotto. The rest of the party had the burger with a side of mushrooms, the salmon entree, and the scallop entrée with mashed potatoes. Two guests ordered take out shrimp tacos (also always amazing ) and another burger. All in all, the food was excellent and other than not being able to switch out the sides and the complicated risotto, we were satisfied. My Old Fashioned was also delicious. The portions are good, but for the price point, I do think there should be some leeway in swapping out the sides. Also, the service could be more friendly and prompt.“
“Went here for lunch because I work nearby and it was a great choice! Even though it's a little pricey (because of location), I got the mac and cheese grilled sandwich (almost like a grilled cheese sandwich) and I was full! It was only $10 (not including tax and tip) and it's a great lunch choice. The restaurant was empty inside but it looks like a great place to go after work hours. There were a couple of people at the bar relaxing but it was dead, otherwise. The bartender was too nice and funny. We were doing an inside joke and she was playing along. Overall, great experience. I would love to go there after work hours and eat while watching a sports game.“
“If you are looking for ramen, then I think you're goin, which comes with roasted pork belly, fish cg to enjoy Maki Bar! I ordered the Tonkatsu ramen, which came with roasted pork belly, a little bit of corn, bok choy, scallion and seaweed. The pork belly was tasty. Almost kind of smoky but delicious and not too fatty. The broth was flavorful as well. The staff was friendly. The restaurant was super clean, and it was busy with a lot of take out orders. They even have sushi platters here in case you want to have a party at home! I recommend you come in person if you're going to have ramen. This is more of a place you'd come (or order out) for a casual meal. Maybe not for a date night.“
“Nice Hotel for the area and pricing but Lots of hidden fees. The hotel only offers King Size Bedroom and services 4 people per room. There is a $50 per day deposit fee and they charge you for breakfast if it’s over 4 people.They also have a very small indoor pool which is also used for swimming lessons during the day so pool hours are very very limited . It also makes the pool look very very cloudy .I am usually a fan a of Embassy Suites but this location has too many turn offs. My car wasn’t even able to fit in the parking garage but yet I was charged full price for the parking. The front desk staff has great customer service . Very kind.Rooms: Rooms and clean and usable. It would be nice if there were options for two bed suites.Nearby activities: Hotel is about 25-30 min away from all memorials and Smithsonian’s.Safety: I felt pretty safe“
“I had my 22nd birthday dinner here on February 25th and it’s the best decision I’ve made so far in 2024. I was treated like a queen! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the service…EXCEPTIONAL! They gave me the best birthdays ever!! Thank you Morton’s The Steakhouse. I couldn’t have asked for a more picture perfect experience ??“
“I went to this restaurant with my families and experienced the most welcoming vibe. We tried the delicious Ethiopian food, including the Deluxe Veggie and Cher Cher combination. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is a fan of healthy and delicious food with exceptional “
“My fiancé and I decided to try a new bar, and we loved it, the food choices are amazing, the wings are probably one of the best that we've had in a while, I had the burger, but I definitely enjoyed my other half's meal more, that Ruben was just fantastic. The service was great no complaints at all, she was wonderful. Love the feel of this place with all the great music playing, sports on the TVs just a great time. Thank you.“
“When I tell you my toes curled at first bite it would not be an understatement...our server Faith made me feel as if I was the oyster and the food was my pearl. Will definitely come again for the roti. This sheer joy and euphoria I experienced with Faith as my server is second best to that of my 3rd wedding.“
