Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Silver Spring

We recently dined at La Piquette and had a great experience. Our party of four was celebrating an anniversary and a birthday, and the afternoon couldn't have been more perfect. From the moment we walked in, the cozy, intimate setting created the ideal atmosphere for our special celebrations. We skipped the appetizers and ordered our entrees, which included Prime Beef Steak and Frites, Lobster Risotto, Halibut, and Sautéed Fresh NC Shrimp. Each dish was a perfect blend of flavors and textures, beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. It was evident that the chefs put a lot of passion and creativity into their culinary creations. The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, ensuring every detail of our dining experience was right. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable, adding a personal touch to our celebrations. And don’t overlook their desserts! They were the perfect ending to a perfect meal. The sweet treats were as delightful and creative as the main courses, leaving us thoroughly impressed and satisfied. Overall, La Piquette exceeded our expectations in every way. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. The only thing that would make me hesitant to return again would be the 2+ hour ride up I95. No, on second thought, not even that would keep us from being repeat customers.

What a delightful tea! The variety of savory and sweets were ample and delicious. Some nice surprises as well as more traditional offerings. The four pages of teas to choose from, the gratis glass of proseco and great service sealed the deal!

This was our first visit and the experience did not disappoint. Since it was VAlentines there was a decent crowd. The wait for seating was longer than expected but once seated, appetizers, wine and main course were spot on. For wine, we had a bottle of mosel Riesling wine from Germany. Nice. We had garlic and plan nan. Awesome. For appetizers we had Dabeli - where have I been!? Had 2 orders of Dahl Poori - the sweet, sour and yogurt mix was quite refreshing and flavorful. For the main we had chicken Saagwala and chicken Chettinad! Put it this way, Das Masala is now my favorite spot. I really appreciated the attentiveness of the staff and the owner checking in on us at the end is the meal. Lastly, each guest seemed to be enjoying the meal and conversation. Not at all rushed. 10 stars!!

Excellent service. They always remember me and even remember what I usually order. My wife loves the lamb and I love the short ribs with the crisp onions on top mmmmmmmm. This time they had brussel sprouts which were great. The bread they bring is warm with a little salt and a little bit if cheese. They bring out a dish with olive oil and a dash of balamic to dip it in Mmmmmmm

Very fresh and well-prepared. Nice presentation. Good portions.
