    Filomena does not disappoint! Always perfectly cooked pasta, chicken and seafood. The place is already decorated for Christmas which makes it quite an experience with a polar bear dressed in his best and Santa not to mention all the streamers and stuff hanging from the ceiling. No place like it. Only downside is they fill the place up and it gets tight and warm down in that basement. A must for any trip to DC and Georgetown!

    Never fails to be a great experience. The only issue we've had in many years of coming back to Zatinya is noise. This time we arrived at 5 PM for a 6 PM reservation and it was quieter than usual. They were simply fantastic, acknowledged our anniversary and made the night special. But all visits to this superb restaurant are special

    Wow, as advertised, great host, server, manager!!!! The food we ordered was all superb!!! Crab cake to start, wife ordered the meatloaf, I had the short rib stroganoff. We had reservations and thankful we thought ahead, the 1330 lunch rush was visible on the weekend. I ordered a bloody mary, only portion of the meal which I thought lacked attention. Manager passed by the table and was very nice!!! Thank you for the Carrot cake, it was phenomenal. Highly would recommend and glad we came!!!

    Cava Mezze in Olney is halfway between our kid's home in Columbia and our sister's home in Bethesda. So it is great for convenience. There might be other options in Olney . . . but we always select Cava Mezze for the great food and outstanding service. This visit, we were spoiled by Christian. Each of his recommendations was spot-on - and he was consistently pleasant, professional and incredibly attentive. (and he is quite the photographer) And do yourself a favor - save room for dessert! The French Toast and the special (some chocolate/nut cookie bar) are spectacular!

    We love the place. We have been coming here on occasion for over 20 years now. They have renovated a bit since our last visit, and I preferred the old vibe but the new is really nice. I just have a place in my heart for the darker feel it had in the past.
