Hillstone! Wtf were you thinking?!…read more They abruptly closed Woodmont Grill in October, 2025 after 30 years. My family is still mourning, and still scrambling to find a place worthy of our birthday celebrations (Can Can Brasserie in Richmond is a great, if not nearby option). Of course, I'm also still mourning the closure of both Houston's and Gulf Stream restaurants at Century City in Los Angeles Where else might I find the best sushi, French dip sandwiches, BBQ ribs and hot fudge sundaes all in one place?!

This is one of the best spots in Bethesda. The decor gives a dark steakhouse romantic kinda vibe…read more You know exactly what you're getting when you come here - great food and even better service. It definitely books up so I'd be sure to snag a reservation - walking in is nearly impossible. Even trying to grab a spot at the bar on a week night is first come first serve, and there's not much room! Something I don't love about Woodmont is you can only get a table of 4 people max, no exceptions. I wish I could have come here with my entire family, but I would have been forced to pick my favorite 3 Lol While they don't make any menu abbreviations or changes (no espresso martinis :( oh well) - the crush with pressed grapes and mint is my absolute favorite. You have to start with some sushi - the Osaka style pressed roll is the best, but I've also enjoyed the spicy tuna roll and the tuna mango roll. I would say my favorite item on the entire menu is a sleeper pick - the kale rotisserie chicken salad is to die for. I would lick the plate clean - something about the roasted peanut vinaigrette and the elevated chicken!! While the fried chicken sandwich is often only available for lunch, if you can snag it you should. The French dip is the best sandwich on the menu, although the cheeseburger has caught my eye as well. If you have any room left, their soft serve with fudge pour over is the best! The service here is top notch - expect your martini to be reputed into a cold glass half way through, your drink order to be taken and ready before you even meet your server, and the crumbs to be wiped between courses. If you come for nothing else, come to be impressed by the staff!

Last night tabletop dinner:…read more Great space and excellent seafood tower. Everything was expensive, but in-line or decently priced for fresh shellfish. Cannot overstate how nice the bar and restaurant ambience is which is fine-dining level but with a everyday casual service and menu. The aptly named "Kraken" is fantastic. 10/10, no notes. Actually a value at 200 bucks if it's your dinner. The lobster roll was 45 bucks and that is exorbitant, but given everything under Trump :)...not surprising.. Very good Marg - not too sweet and cold beers. Had the Narragansett draft which is a perfect, dry lager for seafood. They were out of the Kolsch I wanted, but no complaints. Service was economical if not not spectacular. Coming back to sit at the bar and suck on oysters and beers soon!

This was a beautiful brunch experience. I truly enjoyed this place and will be back…read more This restaurant has a very causal, cozy and rustic feel to it - I came with family and friends just to celebrate each and immediately knew the vibes were unmatched. Our server Danny was phenomenal, definitely on my list of top 10 servers I've ever had. It's really the little things that add to your experience and just make it hit 10x more. For example when I asked for straws he wrapped the naked straws in napkins before handing it to each of us. He was so attentive and kind and helpful - I love it. They treated our group to the beignets - fresh out of the fryer - 10/10!!!! Highly recommend. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich (w no bacon) with the duck fat french fries - amazing. The chicken was a little dry but it help that it was super thin. The fries were gassss, so so addicting. I also ordered a can I call you rose to pair with my food. It was delicious. While my family and friends did bottomless mimosas and bloody mary. They also ordered the chicken and waffles and then the french toast. They enjoyed both but same critique for the chicken - unfortunately dryyy. Overall, good food and good people always make your chest warm and really enjoyed my experience here and I will come back to try other items!

We started with the Onion Soup au Gratin and Caesar salad, and I really enjoyed both. The French onion soup was rich, comforting, and exactly what you want from a classic French bistro. Others in our group tried the Crispy Goat Cheese Croquette and Half-Dozen Oysters, and everyone was very happy with their choices. For my main, I had the Steak Frites Au Poivre, and it was delicious. The steak was cooked just right, and the peppercorn sauce and fries made for a great combination. Others at the table also ordered Steak Frites and really enjoyed their meals. We definitely saved room for dessert. I went with the Classic Profiteroles with vanilla ice cream and housemade hot fudge, which were excellent and a perfect way to finish dinner. Our table also tried the Chocolate Mousse, Vanilla Bean Crème Brulee, and Apple Tarte Tatin, and everyone was pleased. Our server was friendly and attentive throughout the evening and took great care of our group. Great food, great atmosphere, and a really enjoyable evening. I would definitely come back.

Our server was good and did check up on us quite a bit before the dinner rush came and then well he kind of disappeared. He did show up eventually and everything was fine. The food. We all very much enjoyed our meals. Enjoyed their small mussels and Caesar salad to start. That salad was good with loads of cheese and croutons. Never had their roast chicken and it was cooked perfectly, but the main star had to been that mashed potatoes. Good lord it was so good. I don't care how many calories it had! The kids meal was cutely displayed in a bento box like dish and the steak was already cut for her. She was very happy. All in all, a terrific dinner birthday celebration !

Service was good. Food at lunch was mediocre. Not bad, nothing special…read more Lunch menu is burger, turkey blt, crab cake, fried chicken, skirt steak, salmon, burritos caprese, 2 salads, 2 soups, 5 pizzas. We had the grain bowl, and crab cake w fries. My partner says the grain is fresh tasting. The tahini dressing was nice on the crisp cukes. The fried chickpeas were a nice touch. The fries were good, crisp and potato-ey. The crabcake was a bit bland, both my partner and I used the term "watery" without consulting each other. Only a few blocks away is Pescadeli, a local seafood market, which sells uncooked crab cakes that are a quantum leap better. I'd be inclined to let this go, but we are at Marriott's global HQ in the state of Maryland, where makes crab cakes are world famous. I encourage Marriott to take their crab cakes more intentionally.

My fiancé and I decided to try out the wagyu and wine pairing special, which is currently running…read morefrom September 7th - November 15th. The special indicates that there are three burgers for selecting, each with a choice of two wines to make a pairing. Each pairing was $35 dollars each. I've never been to the Capital Grille, but the location in Chevy Chase is beautiful. It sits within the Wisconsin Place mall area, and has a 19th century bar/lounge feel with rich brown furniture and 19th century paintings of famous people (aristocrats maybe?). The service was great-we got our orders within 15 minutes of arriving. White tablecloths are the standard, with the seating allocated for bar or high chair. Standouts: Wagyu burger with truffle mushrooms Wagyu cheeseburger All pairings came with sea salt fries Brut was paired with the truffle burger Sauvignon Red was paired with the Wagyu cheeseburger Please try this special--a $75 bill, delicious burgers, and great service are worth a try!

For the Cold shellfish platter, they serve you shrimp cocktail, oysters, lobster claws and lobster tails. For steaks, my go to is the Kona crusted NY Strip and the Porcini-Rubbed Bone-In Ribeye. They are so good. Order them medium-rare. It's so tender and flavorful. You honestly can't go wrong with any of their steaks. You can also add the Kona crust or porcini rub to any of their steaks as well. I actually had their Pan-Seared Sea Bass with Miso Butter last night for dinner (4/24/2026). Let me tell you, this was one of the best fish I've had. The fish was so good - melt in your mouth goodness. The miso sauce complements this dish so well. For sides, the creamed spinach, mashed potatoes and Au Gratin Potatoes are my favorites. For dessert, the Flourless Chocolate Espresso Cake is the one to get. They do have a kid's menu and for larger parties they do require a private dining room. They validate up to three hours in the parking garage, so parking is free. Service has always been top-notch. They make a great Old Fashioned.

First of all, forget Jose P's review saying that they lost their liquor license! They do have one…read moreand they made a couple great Mojitos for me! We met the couple who owns this place back in 2018 on a cruise and I've been meaning to stop by every time we're in the area. Today we made it happen! So happy we did! Must say that this appears to be more of a later neighborhood. We arrived shortly before 4 PM and almost every restaurant in the neighborhood was empty, even though they had happy hours. Cubano's was no exception. My wife and I were the only patrons. The Restaurant itself is beautifully set up! Truly enjoyed it. We ordered AREPITAS DE LECHON and CROQUETAS DE JAMON SERRANO to start, including our adult beverages! The dishes were superb! We both truly enjoyed the arepitas de lechon! Way yummy! A lovely way to start our late lunch. For our main courses, my wife ordered their happy hour chicken empanadas and I ordered the avocado salad. I really thought the chicken empanadas were beyond small. That said it fit my wife's appetite just fine. My avocado salad was delicious as well! If we lived in the area, I know we would be returning on a regular basis. As it is now, we'll have to wait till our next trip through the area. Keep up the great work Adolfo!

I have come here several times. My family is from Cuba, and I grew up on home-cooked Cuban food…read more Cubano has been the closest I've found to authentic. Unfortunately, this last time was disappointing. First, they lost their liquor license, so forget the mojitos, daiquiris, or even a beer. The most iconic Cuban meal is "ropa vieja," which we ordered. It is shredded beef, rice, black beans, and "maduros" (fried plantains). Unfortunately, the beef was cooked in way too much canned tomato sauce. It did not taste authentic at all. Still good, but disappointing. The only person working was the bartender, which slowed service. He was nice, and fortunately for us, many people came in and left when they found out they could not order drinks. Otherwise, the service would have been really bad. The music was great as they played all Cuban music, which I love. Overall, I feel like this place may not be around much longer, which is a shame. The food is still good, but they are starting to cut corners, and without the liquor license, it's clear that they are not going to get folks to stay.
