Kind and caring service from the moment I arrived without enough quarters for the parking meter! We were not rushed as my friend and I celebrated a birthday. Amazing Fish Stew and raspberry sorbet for dessert. We'll be back soon!

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.
