    Jalapeño cucumber margarita
    Lauren N.

    Went for the all you can eat brunch too! Amazing! Had a great time with the DJ playing early 2000s songs, great service, great food! A deal for $42. Will definitely be back with a bigger group for brunch in the future!

    We decided to grab a quick bite to eat here after the movies. The food was decent and the bartender was pretty quick with the service.

    Very slow for a Thursday night

    Just stopped in for a beverage before dinner nearby, took a few minutes for the bartender to acknowledge me. Not a good sign as there were only 5 others at this decent sized bar.

    Side Caesar

    Nice little spot in Bethesda for a quick business dinner. It's a very nice location, with plenty of seating, and an open kitchen where the pizzas are prepared. We enjoyed three different pizzas, side Caesar salads, and a couple of beers on tap. The service was a little slow, but they were very understaffed, so I will not take a star off for that. Our server was super sweet, and she was also taking care of the entire bar top. The pizzas were all absolutely amazing, but that pepperoni and hot honey is to die for. pepperoni + hot honey vodka sauce, pepperoni, mozz, hot honey, basil 18|24 fire + smoke spicy chipotle purée, roasted garlic, onions, red peppers, smoked gouda, basil, zesty tomato sauce 18|23 holy grail margherita crushed tomatoes, basil, herb marinated mozz 18|23

    After church, gotta a large family and want to enjoy a nice day out? Matchbox's "All You Can Eat" Brunches is 100% for you all. I went out to brunch with a group of friends, and the food was sufficient for the four of us. We ordered many items off the menu and ate family style. Tasting a bit of this and that. The quality of the brunch items were average, nothing spectacular, not too bad. The waiter did an okay job with explaining the brunch but did miss a few items we had ordered like the stuff French Toast. We were so full off the other items, we had forgotten. The ambiance had a DJ playing R&B, Afrobeats, a variety of genres. The decor was nice, neat, a bit small, but still okay. The worst part of the outing was parking. Yes, on a Sunday afternoon the parking lot next to the restaurant was still PACKED!!! That alone will deter me from going back to this location. Want more authentic opinions?

    Butternut squash chicken salad BBQ Baby Back Ribs
    Nikki M.

    We often enjoy our meal at the bar. The drinks are classic with a tasty twist. We have never had a bad dish! The butternut salad I had (pictured) quite literally had 5 pieces of butternut squash, but I just opened my mouth about it and low-and-behold I had more. The servers are attentive enough that we don't have to track them down. We have never experienced a crazy crowd so it's a fairly relaxing environment.

    Crab Artichoke Dip
    Kyla A.

    Okay soo I ended up coming to this location because I initially wanted to go to Planta but there bar was full which was extremely disappointing to me. I ordered the Cute cosmo and the Crab artichoke dip. It tasted so freaking good yall lol. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the dip tasted: I also liked the presentation of the appetizer. Keeping it short, cute, and simple because my night is just getting started and I might yelp more tonight.

    Good eats, fantastic brunch, and our favorite server Diego always keeps the laughs coming. Shoutout to the Matchbox Bethesda team!! Don't forget the best bartender, Eric!!

    Menu

    We came for the unlimited Brunch - you get to order anything from the menu. Service from our waiter, Eric was good. Food came out quickly. Eric checked on us frequently. Catfish was awesome. The grits (served with catfish and shrimp and grits ) were ok. Old bay wing were good, right crispness and blue cheese dressing was fresh and had nice flavor. Honey butter biscuit was good. Atmosphere was nice, we were place at a both. A little louder than I'd like but not bad at all. Live Dj hade a great mix, which was pleasant. Highly recommended

    Caesar Salad with grilled Salmon
    Fred L.

    We have had 2 visits to this location and both have been great. In both cases we had the kids and out of town guests. The restaurant is designed really nicely and feels like a place that you want to hang out and have a good time as it has a bar in the middle with lots of lots of TV. The staff there was friendly, helpful and attentive on both visits. Our daughters (11 and 9) got the hamburger and chicken tenders from the kid's menu which they both enjoyed. On my first visit I had the Seared Ahi Tuna Salad which was great and for my s2nd visit I had a Caesar Salad with grilled Salmon which was great also. For both dishes the fish was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. From the drink menu I had the Matchbox Mule on our last visit which was really good. Overall we have had two great experiences here and will definitely be back.

    Have you ever loved a restaurant so much you went back twice in the same day? That was me here…read more This Pike & Rose gem in North Bethesda is everything you hope for in a neighborhood spot -- fresh, imaginative Mediterranean-inspired food, a vibrant yet cozy atmosphere, and the kind of place you immediately start planning to revisit. Everything I tried was fantastic, from the perfectly prepared chicken kebabs to the cod with farro. The blackberry vodka cocktail was beautiful and delicious, and the saffron steamed milk with ginger for dessert was absolute perfection. The entire concept feels current, welcoming, and effortlessly cool without trying too hard. Can't wait to return the next time I'm back in town for meetings!

    I've had this booked marked for over two years and my cutie pie always says, "what is in this book…read moremark of yours", lol. Although he will lead most times, I pick one place every weekend so we can check it off together. This Friday (5/16) I picked Julii! He's a regular so although super packed they made it work and sat us immediately without a reservation. This place is popular and a reservation is needed. While I thought the menu was limited, it does the job. I wanted Branzino and had that in my mind the whole day but was disappointed that it wasn't on the menu. Welp, y'all know I love a burger. Service was fantastic! Ambiance feels like stepping into a French‑Mediterranean boutique café that someone elevated into a luxury dining room. It's warm, intimate, and softly glamorous without trying too hard. Let's get into it! Chicken Kabob - Seasoned perfectly over rice! Really good! Burger - Added bacon and mushrooms- Absolutely delicious! Drinks were delicious! No apps because I wasn't that hungry! I will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    True Food Kitchen (TKF) shows that it's never too late to make an amazing second 1st impression!…read more Back in mid-2018, my dining companion and I gave TFK a try because we had known about Founder Dr. Andrew Weil's work in integrative medicine and were curious how he would apply his healthful ways into cuisine. While nothing was fundamentally wrong (the Burger was certainly fine), the food tasted of stereotypical "health food," i.e. too bland (especially the Fish Taco). Fast forward ~7.5 years, we decided to give TKF another shot for brunch with their Grilled Sustainable Salmon and Blueberry Pancakes. Both dishes impressed us: full of flavor, bright, and healthful while still very satisfying! The Salmon was cooked through while still moist, buttery, and slightly smoky on the exterior for the light grilling, andthe accompanying crunchy Snap Peas, Organic Wild Rice, and creamy Thai Basil Vinaigrette provided a refreshing and warming complement to the fish. As for the pancakes, they were moist and had a nice hearty graininess (Buckwheat?) together with Organic Blueberry Compote, Greek Yogurt (a naturally tart and lighter alternative to butter), and Maple Syrup for a sweet, tart, and vibrant accent. Since the compote portion was a bit small, we asked for a bit more to which our server kindly obliged! Both dishes left a strong impression on us that we returned this afternoon for both as well as a Blackened version of the Grilled Salmon. While a bit warmer in temperature and spiced in the crust, the inherent oily flavors were actually accented in the blackened version to provide a nice contrast to the plain Grilled Salmon. We savored trying both versions side-by-side! Meanwhile, we enjoyed the Pancakes as a lovely dessert to share! In terms of service, Aubrey made our experience feel like that of fine dining with a relaxing vibe. Attentive and welcoming, she also helped to seamlessly rectified a bit of miscommunication on both of our parts (we meant 1 order of adult portion Pancakes that comes with 2 flapjacks rather than the literal 1 pancake for the kids' version). In the end, we enjoyed having one pancake at a time (once with extra Blueberry Compote, then the next one with the Maple Syrup)! All in all, TFK has matured culinarily by finding the optimal balance of pleasing the palate with fulfiling its mission to source clean ingredients prepared in healthful fashion. Combined with outstanding service and a bright green garden-like ambiance, TFK is great place for diverse diets and those looking to satisfy their mindful eating side!

    Dear Management, I…read moream writing to share my family's experience during our Father's Day visit to your restaurant. Unfortunately, what should have been a special celebration turned into a very disappointing experience due to the service we received upon arrival. We had a reservation for 4:00 p.m. When we arrived, the gentleman at the host stand was not welcoming or friendly. He simply told us to "step to the side" and that someone would assist us in a few minutes. As the minutes passed, we continued to wait without any communication. During that time, a white family of five walked in without a reservation and was seated immediately. At that point, I approached the host stand to ask what had happened and why we had not been seated despite having a reservation. The host searched for our reservation, asked what time it was scheduled for, and then casually stated, "I think someone stole your table." I was shocked by this response. I asked how that could happen if he was responsible for managing the seating. He had no explanation and, more importantly, never offered an apology for the mistake or the inconvenience. A manager later came over and asked what had happened. After I explained the situation, he appeared genuinely surprised and concerned by what had occurred. Once we were finally seated, our server acknowledged the delay and kindly offered us an appetizer because of the long wait at the front. We appreciated that gesture, but it did not change how unwelcome we had been made to feel upon arrival. I am writing this letter not because I am looking for compensation or anything in return. My purpose is simply to ensure that no other family has a similar experience, especially on a day meant to celebrate loved ones. Every guest deserves to be treated with fairness, courtesy, and respect. A sincere apology from the host at the time of the incident would have gone a long way. I hope you will use this feedback as an opportunity to coach your front-of-house staff on the importance of customer service, communication, and accountability. Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns. Sincerely, Ms. Deas
