Haven Pizza Bethesda
We got a pizza to go from there and it wasnt bad. The lady gave my wife some spiel about the way they cut the pizza. So its not really all messed up, rather how they intend to do it. Something about how that makes it more authentic "new haven" style.
Large party with kids in Boca or near by?
thanks, we actually had been to maxs several time, but ended up there again. its consistently good and mizner park is a good place for the kids. we also went to JBs on the beach. Food was decent and again, good place for the kids.
Recs for Pho and Bahn Mi in Eden center?
First time visitor. Any places that stand out? Thanks!
Large party with kids in Boca or near by?
Price and style of food are wide open. Anywhere in Boca or surrounding areas. It would be for dinner.
Large party with kids in Boca or near by?
Sorry, i didnt mean "party". It would be 8 adults and 2 kids. Pretty open to price ranges and cuisine. Just nothing to fancy were a 2 1/2 year old would be out of place. we are coming from out of town but are pretty familiar with the area.

Good place for upscale casual lunch in DC?
We ended up at Teds Bulletin. I realize its not upscale casual, but I appreciate all of the recs. It happened to be great! Good service, good food, fun desserts and a nice ambience. Would definitely go back.

Thanks, Central is a go to spot for us, not that you would know that, so I was really hoping for something new and different.

thanks for the responses! it would be a week day. price range is pretty open and so is the cuisine. just something good and preferably fun, if something like that exists.
Bethesda: venue for food-focused wedding reception?
Mattisse doesnt get much love on this board, but its on Wisconsion Ave right in DC and it is very good. its only a few miles from bethesda. The food is always consistent and it has a nice atmosphere. There arenty many "fine dining" places in Bethesda unfortuntely. Other than that the other recomendations are good options as well.
Need restaurant rec for DC//Bethesda....
Not many choices for "upscale" in Bethesda. Blacks, Persimmon Redwood, and Grapeseed are all very good though.

Bethesda: Pizzaria de Marco open
I had it the other night, but it was carryout, so thats not really a fair test. but it wasnt bad. my wife loves that style pizza and she enjoyed it as well. they put a lot of oil on after the pie is cooked so it was kind of wet and soggy, again, it probably would have been better not carry out. we will definitely try it again though.

Volt Table 21 or Mini Bar?
id wait for a some other opinions before writing off minibar. i think the food buster is in the minority. i thoroughly enjoyed my mean at minibar; food, service and 'coolness'
Fresh Grill, new in Bethesda
I had the chicken sandwich the other day and it was very good. i would go back again.
3 Nights in Bethesda---- Need recommendations
blacks and persimmon are very good but more on the fine dining side of things.
MiniBar: How Many Calls Before You Were Able To Get A Reservation?
Nobody goes there anymore anyway, its too crowded
Food Feuds
In DC you have all of the neopolitan type pizza places, 2 amys and Paradiso at the top of the list then others like mias in Bethesda
Soft Shell Crabs in DC
redwood had them as a special on saturday night and they were very good
j&G Steakhouse?
the lamb chops looked great on the menu i saw a few months back, but it looks like they changed them and it didnt appeal to me as much
j&G Steakhouse?

Pines of Rome (Bethesda)

Best Restaurants Baltimore C- 2 foodies coming for a week
If you are looking for upscale, which it sounds like you are, I think most people would agree that Charleston is the best restaurant in baltimore that is in the class of places you listed . Dc will have a lot more options; Komi, citronelle, obelisk, minibar at cafe atlantico and Volt in frederick to name a few

Komi
1509 17th St NW Ste 1, Washington, DC 20036
Good restaurants near Strathmore Hall, Rockville, MD
persimmon would be a good option
Volt, is it worth the hike?
thanks for the input, it was definintely worth the trip! it ended up being restaurant week which i wasnt thrilled about at first because i know its not the best way to try a restaurant for the first time, but I was pleasantly surprised. They offered a 3 course for $35 and 4 course for $45. i went with the 4 course and got the tuna tartar ($7 supp), sweetbreads, pork tenderloin and almond financier. All were delicious with great taste and presentation. They also served an amuse, mahi mahi ceviche, several differnt breads, mini ice cream sandwiches with the check and a muffin to take home for the next morning. they didnt overbook for restaurant week which was nice. it was definintely full, but we didnt feel rushed at all and there wasnt people waiting when you walk in. My wife who is a picky eater also enjoyed hers. She did the 3 courses with goat chese ravioli, chicken and textures of choclate. i would definitely make the trip to Volt again.
dining out with a baby
when making a reservation, usually on opentable, what is the proper procedure? should you make a res for 4 and put a note that you need room for a car seat or a res for 5 including the baby? thanks!
