- MmicheleWashington, D.C. Area •24 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThis is an excellent choice for a special event, or if you are feeling like indulging in a fancy cocktail! The velvet chairs and gold hardware is such a vibe. Food is great, everything is very well done and ingredients are excellent. The cocktails are pricey but they are good and served artfully in fabulous glassware. Highly recommend for a small group of people, it is not a large space. Service is wonderful.More infoJuliiPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• North Bethesda•4.7
- DDeborahWashington, D.C. Area •7 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe enjoyed a 3 hour birthday luncheon for party of 6 on a very rainy weekday. The service was friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. We had appetizers, entrees, and several desserts. We made the meal family style and the staff was very accommodating bringing extra plates and silverware. The food was excellent. The Baby back ribs were a standout among the entrees as well as the Cobb Salad. All the appetizer and desserts were delicious. Although, it is Xmas season, not a standout Xmas ambiance, however it still lovely California, airy feel. We’ve loved Summer House since their opening several years ago, they have been consistent with high quality food and well trained staff. Always solid choice in Pike & Rose neighborhood.More infoSummer House - North BethesdaPrice: Moderate• American• North Bethesda•4.5

- LLindaWashington, D.C. Area •16 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 7, 2024We enjoyed our birthday celebration at Pinstripes, but I have one suggestion. The "truffle fries" were very disappointing - not tasty or hot. They were thinner than shoestring size and not at all appetizing. I recommend you rethink that offering. Everything else was very enjoyable.More infoPinstripes - BethesdaPrice: Moderate• American• North Bethesda•4.4
