Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Silver Spring

This was my first time visiting and it had a nice relaxed atmosphere. I was the first customer to arrive for the evening. It wasn't very busy due to the recent snow. My biggest issue was service. Although not very busy, the food came out at a slow pace. We ordered the oysters as a starter and a couple of cocktails. It was probably 15 to 20 minutes before getting our drinks. The oysters took a little while as well. However, they were delicious once they arrived. Once the entrees finally arrived, my companion was missing their entree. A waitress came by and asked what they ordered and made an excuse and that it would be coming right away. Thankfully, we ordered the macaroni and cheese and brussel sprouts sides. The macaroni and cheese was tasty, but the topping was a little burnt. It was at least another 20 minutes with no entree, when we finally asked the manager to just send it back and we were done. She said she would bring it out and take the charge off. That was the last we saw of her. Finally a server brought the order of scallops and risotto after I had finished my entree. The risotto was rushed, liquidy, and inedible. The manager never stopped back by to check to see how we were doing. No one apologized for the missing order. It took almost 2 hours total to get all of our food.. Like I said previously, it was it wasn't a very busy evening and I was the first to arrive. We couldn't enjoy our meals together and put a damper on the evening. There are no prices on the cocktails. I personally thought they were a little overpriced for what you got. They were tasty, but weak. Expect to pay $20 and above for each drink.

What a delight to find this gem in Bethesda! The chef is talented, every dish was perfectly prepared and presented, easily on par or better than places charging twice as much, locally or in the district. The owner’s warm welcome, the excellent service and easy parking (a rarity in Bethesda) assure that we’ll be back often.

Society is always a vibe, good food, good drinks, good dj…

Good food, nice atmosphere, a bit pricey for what it is.

This was my first time eating at this chain, and looking forward to my next visit. We enjoyed a team approach from the wait staff. Food and drinks arrived in a timely manner. Everyone enjoyed the dish they ordered. I had the cat fish and chips, it was absolutely delicious.
