Folks say the TPSS coop is expensive and that can be true. But: I love it for its bargains…read more First, the bulk section. So many everyday and unusual products at a fraction of the price you would pay for the same thing in little bottles, boxes or jars. My favorites are oatmeal and spices. Second, the wine section often has good prices on decent wines. Not easy to find these days. Some of them are organic. And finally, there are some freshly prepared foods that make the co-op a destination store for me. Sushi. And those spicy samosas that are kept in the warmer near the soups. Especially the cabbage one! Apparently they are made by Zemen, the Ethiopian grocery on Maple, so you could also look for them there. That is the co-op the way I experience it. But it is waiting for you to discover your own - the possibilities are endless

I can't really separate my opinion of the place from memories I have of the old Water Reed army…read moremedical complex that used to be here. I was saddened by the decision to close the base and I think having a facility to care for veterans inside our city limits was important both symbolically and practically, and while the complex was still in various stages of construction when I stopped in, the hospital that once stood near here was not recognizably present. As to the store itself, it has a lot of standard things you'd expect to see, but I found some nice items on clearance. Self-checkout was available, if marginally functional, and I found a set of single-stall bathrooms to be a welcome development, but they were only available after checking out at the register. There was a lot of weird bush league behavior going on, including a car standing out front double parked after the driver dodged in for what I assume was an online order pickup. It seems like this largely vacant complex should have easier parking and more efforts to discourage bad behavior, but apparently I expect too much.

I'm impressed. This Whole Foods is bright and spacious. I love the underground parking. I went at…read more8PM and I parked right in front of the entrance. Not many cars were in the garage on a Sunday night. I needed milk, but I also came to buy some pastries for breakfast. I got pumpkin scones and almond croissants. Both were good, but not the most flavorful. I'm kind of partial to my French bakeries in Bethesda. However, if parking is always this easy, then I may make this my regular Whole Foods over Downtown Silver Spring. You do need to take a ticket, but then you self stamp your ticket at the machine by the door like the WF in College Park. It was very dark when I exited and took a few wrong turns to get back home the easy way. I will try again!

Loved my experience at Motorkat. In town visiting from Los…read moreAngeles and wanted some yummy seafood and I came across this place and the oysters caught my attention. Ambiance was vibey and cozy. Our server John was awesome. We ordered the crab and shrimp ceviche, a sourdough/goat cheese/ricotta dish, salmon crudo, seafood stew, branzino, oysters and my drink was yummy too! also got butter noodles for the kiddo, the restaurant was child friendly. i believe my cocktail was called a heartache. Beautiful presentation of the food. Oysters and crudo were phenomenal and i truly enjoyed everything i ate! I'll definitely be back when I'm in the DMV.

Motorkat hits the mark again. They have a pretty diverse selection of menu items and drinks and…read moreeverything that we ordered was delicious (even the kids stuff). The ambiance is great - the interior decor is kind of upscale restaurant mixed with a rustic-Italian vibe, while somehow still feeling casual. The outdoor seating is great too with space heaters and ample seating. Service was kind of spotty, but it was also very busy at the time. The entrees and drinks were where it shined for me. Everything was really tasty with a unique blend of flavors. Dishes tended to be in the upper $20+ range, so I wouldn't classify things as cheap, but it felt worth the price for what I was getting. They also have a Happy Hour menu and special menus that seem to rotate (there was a 3-course tasting menu at the time I was there). Very cool spot and will likely be back again.

I ordered online and the food was ready in the time it took us to drive over (the online interface didn't tell us when the order would be ready, which was a bit confusing - but just assume it has been received and will be ready very soon). We got a clam, mussel, and shrimp boil and a catfish po'boy - everything was delicious and perfectly cooked and the sauces were excellent. For DC-area seafood the prices are really reasonable and a good value for what you get. We will definitely be back.

Visited last night to celebrate a few things…read more I have to start with the best part of our experience. Staff ( i wish I got their names at the front) were so pleasant! Alex, our server was AMAZING!!! please ask for him every time! We initially wanted to be at the bar but it was packed! We ended up in a private style booth in the back. The booth offers curtains and the ability to adjust your lighting and music.... lovely bonus. We ordered a lot: Shrimp Cocoktail -9 Crab balls - 9 (wish they were more or bigger...comes with 5) Steak Frites - 8 Chicken - 8 (didnt care the root vegetables but the flavor, overall, was great) Scallops - 7 (great flavor, some were under. The bed of spring vegetables could have been spinach instead...?) Complimentary birthday cake 10...amazing!! We also got a few drinks that I cant rate, but my friends said were great! Will absolutely be back again! ALEX is wonderful and the food is consistently amazing. Kudos to the Chefs !!!

The staff as always is great! They have an all night happy hour at the bar only and the drinks were as I remembered. During the happy hour I stick to the classic martini offerings. My go to is the lemon drop. Love it! Unfortunately the happy hour food offerings were not as I remembered. I appreciate the staff because anything we did not like they took back and removed it from the tab. I did enjoy the wings though. If you are looking for a place to meet a friend for a drink at happy hour I would say come but maybe not focus on the bar bites. Again this review is only for their happy hour. I went this time on a Tuesday and it was not as crowded that night but I know sometimes happy hour can be packed and it's only offered in the bar area.

We were able to snag a table for Valentine's Day evening on their website and they did NOT overbook - we were seated within 5 mins. of arriving. Service was prompt and attentive without being intrusive. The cocktails were innovative and delicious; we loved the jalapeño passion fruit cocktail (spicy!) and the ginger mojito. We were very hungry but decided on 4 smaller plates, which was exactly the right amount of food. Highly recommend their Crab Kathi Roll appetizer, the Crispy Spinach with Dates, the Chicken Cafreal and the Eggplant Fritters - although the mild spicing and flavor of the eggplant was outshone by the other robustly flavored items; still tasty though. Service was friendly and crisp and the pricing was very economical especially considering the variety and quality of the food and beverage. A 5-Star keeper!!

Roasted to perfection and paired well with the chutneys. I also ordered the lamb vindaloo and it was lack luster to me. The lamb chunks were good, but the sauce lacked spice even though I asked for spicy. My friend got the garlic naan and I tasted it. I wasn't a fan of the taste or texture. The restaurant itself is cute and cozy!

I paid for my iced coffee then stood in line at a regular register. The cashier asked me how much I wanted on the card; I replied $100. After several attempts at trying to ring it up without any luck, he told me to go to customer service. While waiting in the customer service line, the store manager comes up and says I need to purchase that at a regular register and not customer service. I showed him the cashier who told me to go to customer service. We both walked over to the register and he asked me for my ID and then analyzed my credit card to see that they matched!!! I was humiliated and embarrassed SO MUCH that I started crying and said: I have NEVER been asked to show ID to buy a gift card! I have never been required to verify the credit card was indeed mine! He said that was their policy for gift cards over $100... since when??? The store owner really should look at the store cameras for February 5th so they can see how awful I was treated by the tall bald-headed manager! I went back to the coffee bar and the kind staff member asked me what's wrong but I was so distraught, I couldn't clearly say... I have been coming to this location since 2016; and although the store environment is under construction, customer service should still be top-notch.
