The ambiance was nice in a chain-location kind of way and service was solid. Our waiter Matt was friendly and attentive, and when things inevitably took a turn, the manager turned out to be apologetic and personable. (They were inexplicably playing Disney's Fantasia on the wall over our heads with a projector?) Food was terrible. Specifically the desert-dry Fable Mushroom Gyro and the cocktails that tasted like how cologne smells (Pomegranate Paloma and cucumber Mojito). My husband had the Steak frites that had to be sent back for coming out raw instead of medium. The Bavarian Pretzel app we tried had burnt, cold pretzels and a weirdly gritty cheese sauce. Despite all of that, our bill was still over $100. Ridiculous. This visit has definitively solidified my no-Ted's policy.

It's a really good deal, they are a bit small but nice and briney. Came here with a friend on a Monday afternoon. I thought I wouldn't be hungry but definitely ended up eating a burger $9 and their jumbo shrimp $11 were indeed jumbo. The fries were alright. I think we got the bottom of the fries because it was a lot of small cuts that just felt like the skins. You also have to make sure you ask for sauce. Overall, it was a good experience and I'd definitely come back if I'm spending an afternoon in Rio!

They especially enjoyed the outdoor seating that overlooks the lake. The ambiance was nice. Since the new ownership the decor is a little more sophisticated. Its nice to sit outside since inside the restaurant is a little small. The food was okay. I ordered the happy hour oysters which were decent. They did not come with the normal fixings like horseradish or vinegar. So I was a bit disappointed by that and the presentation wasn't the greatest as well (pictured). I also ordered the smash burger. The burger was very juicy and delicious as well as the fries. The service was good. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. The owner made sure to come and visit us as well to ensure we did not need anything. That was well received and appreciated. It was a great time. Cheers!

Good happy hour and breakfast. Would not go back for dinner entrees. Leaving 4 stars because I like the bar and breakfast but dinner is 2 stars.

I have been to Silver Diner Rio multiple times and I am never disappointed with the food but the…read moreservice definitely needs work. We decided to go to Silver Diner because we enjoy sitting outside viewing the lake. When we walked in we were greeted by the friendly host who took us to the outside patio hostess to put our name down on the waitlist. Once we put our name on the waitlist we had to wait 15 min for a table which wasn't bad. Once we were seated our waitress came over (Milka) and explained the menu and took our order. She was very friendly and attentive at first but then fell off during the remainder of the service. We ordered two cups of coffee and the mimosa flight. The first cups of coffee came out quickly. It took a little while for the mimosa flight to come up but that was understandable. Then we ordered our food. We ordered Belgian waffles with bacon and scrambled eggs with cheese. We also ordered two eggs over easy with bacon and home fries. Like I mentioned earlier the food is never a disappointment. All the food came out quickly, and hot and tasted delicious. While we were enjoying our food we had to ask multiple waiters to bring us more coffee because our waiter did not come back to check on us for a long period of time unfortunately. Normally waiters come back periodically to check on the table but she did not. She only came to check on us when she saw us asking our waiters for coffee. When she approached our table it seemed as though she had an attitude. We asked her for cream and sugar she brought it over right away but slammed it on the table with her attitude. Overall, we had a decent experience. I wish our waiter was more attentive and friendly. But the food was good. So we will be back for food with hopes that the service improves.

I was in a party of three and I got the pancetta and fig pizza and the other two got the Ranchorita bowl. Very large portions and the food came out exactly as ordered.

We ordered the avocado quinoa salad, a breakfast burrito with chorizo, plus a side of home fries and bacon. The avocado quinoa salad was fresh and flavorful, and the home fries were crispy and well seasoned. Those were definitely my favorite parts of the meal. The breakfast burrito was decent, but it wasn't quite as memorable as I was hoping. My only real complaint was the bacon. It was good, but paying $7 for just three pieces felt a bit pricey. Overall, I'd come back to try more items from the menu since the cafe was clearly popular and had a great atmosphere. If you're in the Gaithersburg area looking for breakfast or brunch, it's worth checking out

I have to say, though busy, the service didn't miss a beat. Jenn - our server - was attentive/kind and fun. I got the filet mignon with the compound butter and my homie got some BBRibs to complement the aforementioned cornbread. The food came out fast and we got to eating. As always with every time I've been here, it slapped. Sides were solid, the steak was cooked to perfection and them ribs were disappearing off the plate! Good times. We followed up our entrees with a solid - and I mean solid - bread pudding. Jeez, this thing is decadent, but we got after it. Jenn brought us a scoop of ice cream and we went to town! Delicious. If you've got a sweet tooth, do yourself a favor and grab the Bread Pudding. It was soft, pillowy, but sweet (not overly sweet) and filling. As for ambiance, again, we were kickin it patio side and could see the water just fine. Honestly, this was a dope backdrop for our super deep convo on Frank Ocean vs. Frankie Beverley. Before I let you go, check'em out some time. You'll enjoy it. Or do you not think so far ahead?

What a cool, fun place to dine…read more Cooper Canyon offers a varied array of dishes in a comfortable and open dining environment. Ava took care of us and she was simply amazing from her demeanor and kindness to her stellar recommendations. We began with their extremely fresh spinach dip that included salsa and sour cream. My girlfriend ordered the massive, warm, and yummy cornbread skillet as well as their Fiesta Eggrolls. I am not an eggroll fan but these were the best I have ever had. Absolutely fresh, flavorful, and delicious. I had the rainbow trout with spinach and mashed potatoes. The fish was fresh, light, and tasty. The trout itself was a very generous portion. For dessert, we dove into their Chocolate Uprising: Sort of like a ice cream sandwich on steroids with heavy cream and a chocolate and caramel base. It was fantastic and insane and we just couldn't finish it! I cannot remember having caramel that good (not sweet but rich). The staff is excellent. They work so well in concert from running food to clearing dishes. The bartenders are outstanding. I had a perfect Hendrick's Gin martini with blue cheese stuffed olives and my girlfriend loved her Malibu Bay Breeze. We look forward to returning -- and we'll start with the Chocolate Uprising and go from there!

A great space to leisurely walk off dinner if you have the time. Definitely would return.

Quick note- not a full review. For those seeking a…read moretraditional Maine lobster roll, please note the lobster roll served here is DIFFERENT. Yes, it's still a tasty bite, yet it's well worth studying the menu to understand ingredients and roll presentation to avoid disappointment. My previous review of this place remains unchanged- Coastal Flats is a reliable source of quality seafood dining. A bit expensive imo, but ok for business expense accounts and special events- like having a lobster roll craving. FYI- it's reasonably possible to make your own lobster roll at home with little effort and a better traditional result and price. Buy frozen lobster meat ( tail and claw) from a good source like Cameron's Seafood. No cooking or picking needed. Season and butter to taste while gently warming, and serve in a toasted (or not) split hot dog roll. Yeah, you can add Old Bay, but that is not for everyone. Keep it pure and simple.

We ordered the Big Eaters Platter, the Corned Beef Hash & Eggs, and shared a Nutella Crepe with Strawberries for dessert. The portions were generous, especially the Big Eaters Platter, making it a solid choice if you're coming in hungry. The corned beef hash was decent, and the Nutella crepe with fresh strawberries was a nice sweet finish to the meal. That said, I thought the food was just okay for the price. Nothing we ordered was bad, but nothing really stood out enough to make me want to come back. The quality was solid, but I left feeling like there are better breakfast options in the area for the same price point. If you work nearby or are visiting one of the surrounding medical offices or hospitals, I could definitely see this being a convenient spot for a quick breakfast or lunch. However, as someone visiting the area, I don't think it's a place I'd go out of my way to return to. Overall, friendly service and a clean restaurant helped make for a pleasant experience, but the food didn't quite justify the price. A good neighborhood café if you're close by, but probably not a destination breakfast spot.
