    Food was great! Happy hour had great deals. We had the mussels, oyster Rockefeller, shrimp tacos, calamari, and falafel. All delicious. This was our second time here. The first time we had a burger and chicken sandwich and it was just average. Seafood is definitely the way to go here!

    My first time here with two friends who are semi regular. We came for primarily oyster happy hour and it did not disappoint. The three of us sat at a round high top. The entire place is a lot smaller than I expected. Actually kind of nice and cozy but maybe fills up at times. We got 3 dozen oysters, duck nachos, and drinks. Oysters were superb. Got to try different varieties which is nice to compare side by side and also sprung for premium on the last dozen. The duck nachos were also good but I would say small portion for the cost. My lemon drop cocktail was as expected. Would definitely come back for HH oysters. My biggest concern was going to be parking at this location, but I was able to avoid since my friend lived within walking distance. There is a parking garage next door but unclear of the cost and if there is any possible validation.

    I'm biased I've come to this area a whole lot, and not once have I ever ventured to any other restaurant on the street. I mean they named the street after my favorite place. On this particular day I was invited to go to Black's. I agreed. I was so upset when I put the address in Uber and found out it was across from my playground. I already had agreed to come so this girl turned her frown upside down. Glad I did! Staff is GREAT! Food was good! Loved my salmon. Tried a taste of the burger which was actually super decent. I must admit, there are now three places on this street I'd frequent. Will be back to try more items on the menu.

    We ate here last night and both of us loved our food. I had mussels for an appetizer and scallops for the main course. The service was excellent and tables were not too close together. It is also right next to a public parking lot. I would enter that lot from Old Georgetown road instead of Woodmont.

    Came here for a large gathering. Blacks bar was able to workout a special menu and the service was spot on. I ordered a few drinks and some Oysters Rockefeller. The drinks were really good and they oysters were basics. 9$ special for 3 oysters isn't bad. The bar area was spacious and the restaurant looked busy.

    It was the perfect day to dine out but some members of our party preferred to dine in. The outdoor seating is on a first come first served basis. Inside, Black's has a typical above-neighborhood-restaurant type vibe. It would be perfect for many things: casual dining, business meetings, happy hour meets, celebrations, etc. It took a while to get our food ordered the restaurant started to fill up. Not a problem since we had our drinks in place. The food at Black's has been constantly good but tonight there were two people who were not so satisfied with their food. Two people had the well seasoned poke bowl (plate) which was good but there was nothing unique about it. Two people had burgers and one of them was served well done when medium rare was requested. The crispy fries pleased me but not some. The person who ordered the Seafood stew was in heaven but the pork chop order didn't deliver. Coffee was served with a cookie which is a very nice touch (a temptation too hard to resist for some). Although I ordered decaffeinated coffee-- I lay awake till the wee hours of the morning wondering if the coffee was really decaf. Our server was pleasant and attentive. Black's is a nice restaurant. In the future, however, I would stick with Addie's mussels and suggest to diners to emphasize their desired temperature for burgers/meats.

    I think this restaurant was good, but not a place that I would rave about. I ordered the calamari for an appetizer which was ok. There wasn't much flavor in the breading of the calamari, but it wasn't awful. For my entree, I had the mussels and had a side of macaroni. Both were good, but again not something I'd rave about. The chocolate cake tasted pretty standard. We came in on a rainy evening and before the big dinner rush. It was practically empty when we got there. I will say that since we were one of the only ones there, I wasn't a fan of having them seat another group of guests directly next to us of all of the open tables. The vibe was nice though. I liked the upscale and sleek design of the restaurant.

    Came here after we had dinner at Woodmont grill. We were full so and really came in for the oysters. I got dozen of their premium oysters, 4 of each. It was nice. I haven't had a full meal there but service was decent and the oysters were delicious! I would totally come back for their oysters.

    The food was delicious, especially the beet salad, scallops and chocolate mousse. The service was a little awkward, they tried to be a high end type of restaurant, but the staff was awkward about it. The noise level was good and it seemed like an older crowd.

    Great happy hour and a short walk from the Marriott ! Where do I begin? Oysters Rockefeller- amazing. Even my mom who doesn't like oyster enjoyed these. Shrimp tacos- went back for seconds. Mussels- plenty of bread provided to sop up the sauce! Entree sizes were perfect for this heavy seafood focused restaurant.

    A delightful French bistro right in the heart of Bethesda! I went here for brunch with my mom and…read moremy in-laws and it was a wonderful experience. Our server was attentive and efficient. The dining room decor is straight out of Paris and provides a pleasing environment for conversation and people-watching. The food was good. Everything came out on time and at the correct temperature even though the place was completely packed. Kudos to the kitchen staff and the food runners for keeping everything on schedule! The brunch menu has something for everyone. I had the Caesar Salad and the Steak Frites. Both were solid. Were they the best I ever had? No, but certainly more than satisfying. My dining companions got a variety of entrees: eggs benedict, quiche Lorraine, and entree salads. They enjoyed them all. Looking forward to trying their happy hour!!

    Discriminatory service…read more Came for a quick bite since I had some business in the area after work. It was sweltering hot and humid 90 degrees out and I was tired and hungry. Needless to say this was not my first choice but went in since other venues didn't have any seats available for dinner. It was a regrettable decision. I would give zero stars if I could. When I visited a few months ago I thought I heard an off color comment from the hostess but thought I misheard. Ate at the bar today and ordered only small dishes since I was on a diet. Realized later on I was not offered the specials and overheard distasteful and unnecessarily hateful commentary from the blonde waitresses in a vest about me to a coworker. Food was fine but definitely not worth it given the discrimination I received. I don't say this lightly- stay away. The state of female POC solo dining here is disgraceful

    Lovely wine bar in Cleveland Park!…read more We dined in on a Friday night with a party of six. They had seated us in the front window, but the sun was really shining so they were very accommodating, and helped to move our table into a shadier spot. We started with a round of cocktails and appetizers. My husband enjoyed the apricot Manhattan and I tried the Key West daiquiri. The lavender and pea cocktail was also very refreshing. The hummus platter featured four different hummus's. The harissa was our favorite. The Burratta salad and tart flambe was nice to share. We proceeded with ordering three bottles of wine and a few entrees. The petite fillet was delicious. The spring gnocchi was flavorful and the chicken Milanese was a nice portion. We were celebrating a birthday and they brought out a slice of Dulce de Leche cheesecake with a candle! Service was very nice. Clean bathrooms and short walk to Cleveland Park Metro.

    Little Blackbird is phenomenal!…read more I've been here a few times and have never been disappointed. Great service from super friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable staff. A large wine list that they know back to front and can recommend wines from based on your food choices and personal tastes. An elegant but not ostentatious interior. But first and foremost, incredible food. There have been a few items I was unsure of when reading the descriptions, but I have always been blown away by the thoughtfulness and balance that comes with each or their dishes. Of note, their seared scallops that came with a savory and sweet white chocolate sauce were one of my favorite dishes of 2025. Not to mention, the prices here are reasonable and not unnecessarily inflated like other places that market themselves as wine bars. I hope the success here signals a shift in the wine bar model toward unpretentious but thoughtfully designed dishes for a reasonable price. Overall, Little Blackbird is an incredible restaurant that I think deserves more recognition. I will certainly be back soon.

    Thank you to Caruso's Grocery for hosting my granddaughter's 16th birthday dinner. A huge shout out…read moreto Patrick, the event coordinator from Caruso's who helped me in every aspect of planning this special event. The food was delicious. The group was given a choice of appetizers: meatballs, basil and tomato caprese salad, dinner salad, or garlic bread. Each of the appetizers were better than the next. The girls shared the meatballs, garlic bread, and caprese salad. Thank you to our server for bringing out gluten free bread for one of our guests with a gluten allergy. Our main dishes was the shrimp scampi,which was full of flavor and so tasty. There were several of us who ordered the shrimp scampi and you could hear a chorus of oohs and aah's. We loved every bite. I am pleased to share that Caruso's has gluten free pasta for guests with gluten allergies. And, the gluten free pasta was scrumptious. The birthday girl had chicken parmigiana and a side of spaghetti. She really enjoyed her meal. Another, guest had the penne pasta and she loved hers too. There portions were very generous. We also had a guest order the Caesar salad with shrimp. It came out with dressing, when the dressing was supposed to be on the side, but our waiter was quick to remedy that. The ambiance is lovely and reminds me of my grandmother's home in Little Italy. It is old world Italian with comfortable seating. I know it was a busy night, but the one fly in our ointment was our server. There was too much of a lag between courses, and main dishes came out of the kitchen at different times. Also, our gluten free guest had to sit and watch while others ate cake because her ice cream sundae was no where to be found. It finally made it to the table, but I felt badly for this young lady. I know our server was swamped with guests. Hopefully, next time a large party is on the schedule, they can lighten the load for that server. All of the girls had a good time including the birthday girl. So, I am reminded of the saying, it all works out in the end. Thank you, Caruso's.

Tried the Lemon Ricota Donuts--they were just okay, a bit too doughy for my preference.

    For a wine bar, I expected a slightly more elevated experience…read more I like that there was outdoor seating (It was a beautiful day when we visited), however there was no one to tell us whether to seat ourselves or wait to be seated. I was waiting for my friend to arrive and countless times the staff walked past me without a word or a glance: no greeting, no invitation to see myself, not even asking if I needed help...nothing. Just incredibly unwelcoming. If I hadn't made such a significant time investment trying to secure a parking space, I would have left immediately. After my friend arrived, we flagged down one of the servers who told us that we could seat ourselves outside. We did so and ordered a round of cocktails: an Aperol Spritz for me and Air Mail for my friend, along with a charcuterie board. The seating outside was picnic benches with chipped paint. Our charcuterie board arrived long before our drinks did. We were half done with the board by the time the drinks arrived. The charcuterie board was delivered with no plates and only one napkin for two people. Additionally, because there were no plates, a significant amount of our charcuterie board ended up on the picnic table. The board had lots of items on it and it was very difficult to remove an item or slice some cheese without something else sliding off. The cocktails were decent. Not the best we've had, but also not the worst. They were inconsistent though. The first two I had were much better than the last one, which tasted distinctly different. When we decided to get food, I ordered the chicken schnitzel sandwich while my friend got the Cubano sandwich. In most places, when you order a sandwich, fries are included. Not here. But at least my sandwich was served on an aluminum tray. My friend received her sandwich wrapped in paper. No plate; Just wrapped up like it was to-go. Since no fries were included with her sandwich she ordered a side of the chili cheese fries instead. She ate a few of them but I could tell by her face (and the fact that the bowl remained largely untouched after those few initial fries) that they were not good. My sandwich was okay. Just ok. It arrived warm, not hot, so I'm not sure if it was freshly made. Flavor-wise it was a little bland. I think it probably would have been better served just as schnitzel and not as a sandwich. For dessert, I ordered one of their oversized chocolate chip cookies. Again, it was just not good. Chocolate chip cookies are fairly hard to mess up but this one was just... Bad. It had more of a cake-like consistency... And not even very good cake. I took one bite and that was one too many. Between the difficulty finding parking, the general aloofness of the staff, and the terrible food... I'd recommend passing on this place.

    Cool place; chill vibes, great food; excellent service…read more Burger is great. Be sure to get the double patties for the full effect. Kale salad is good but a little over dressed and salty, in my opinion. Be mindful there's not a lot of parking spaces. You'll find free street parking if you just drive around a bit, but it does require a brief walk in a hilly neighborhood. Nom nom nom!
