    Our experience here was amazing. Shoutout to our great server Connor. If he isn’t a lead server make him one TODAY ! So cool, so understanding & honestly great energy. I came for Valentine’s Day with my girlfriend. He told us the specials & even gave some recommendations. We both had steak with mash & green beans. If you are thinking about getting the peartini definitely grab you one. It didn’t disappoint. We will be back !

    I had the crabcake and my wife had the parmesan trout and both were fantastic! Her trout was very favorable with the spices and parmesan coating. The served me a real Maryland flavored crabcake. The coleslaw was the best I ever had because it wasn't too sweet, and you could taste the vinegar which was the perfect tart flavor that was needed. Many coleslaw recipes taste cheap and too sweet but theirs was balanced. The fries rival McDonald's fries and before you laugh think about how perfect McDee's makes their french fries. The special Valentine Strawberry and Chocolate Mousse cake was a perfect ending to our meal. It had a little scoop of vanilla ice cream, strawberry sauce and white chocolate heart stuck into the cake. We will bring back our family in our second visit. Plus, our server was the best!

    A friend and I had dinner at Nordstrom Market Place at Montgomery Mall (Bethesda, MD) on Saturday, 1/18/2025. The dinner was exceptional. From the Chef’s Selection menu, I chose the braised beef ragu served with cheese tortellini, and it was outstanding. I swear the tortellini tasted like it was made fresh just for me - it literally melted in my mouth. The braised beef was cooked to perfection. The ragu sauce, with chunks of tomato and spinach, was delicious. My friend had the tomato basil soup and a beautiful salad and said both were delicious. We had a 6 pm reservation but it wasn’t needed as the restaurant was not crowded. On a scale of 1-5 (5 belong difficult to converse with others at your table), I give this restaurant a 0.5 - the room was peacefully quiet. We had no problem conversing with each other and there was no background music coming through the speakers. Staff were attentive and pleasant. I highly recommend this cozy restaurant and plan to return very soon.
