    Went with my wife and her sister to celebrate a birthday last night and everything was wonderful. The restaurant is elegantly comfy, the food really fantastic (most of it wood grilled) and the service was impeccable! We’ll be back again soon.

    Seriously you charged for the martini olives separately? Then added a non-cash payment charge and don’t even inform the customer. This has gotten ridiculous. Way to make the customer feel like they are being nickel and dime. Reasons enough not to return.

    Black's Bar & Kitchen in Bethesda has become a favorite choice for lunch meetings. Easy to park, and easy for people from DC to reach via metro. Had a relaxed, long conversation with an old friend/colleague. He loved the Oyster Po' Boy; I was very happy with the gumbo. Had a few moments when it took a while to get someone's attention, but not excessive. Policy is to offer a discount for paying in cash. Worth preparing ahead if you have a large group or want to splurge.

    This was an excellent dining experience. We have previously visited several of the Black Group restaurants and found this to be indicative of the high standards of the other venues. We were sorry to see the closure of The Republic, and wish that you would consider opening such an establishment in the Takoma Park area. Thank you.
