Local restaurants often limit reservations on this special day… or should I say weekend. Chefs often prepare a ‘prix fixe’ menu, and other restaurants are as casual as you want your evening to be. Bethesda and nearby areas including North Bethesda, Rockville, and even as far as Gaithersburg, are host to family owned and operated restaurants. You are sure to enjoy a meal where heart and soul have been added to your meal. Why not, give a local restaurant a try? Below are some of my favorites…
Mon Ami Gabi on Woodmont Avenue in Bethesda serves french cuisine. Right next door, Pizzeria Da Marco serves small plates and delicious wood fired pizza. Grilled Oyster Co. in Cabin John Shopping Center and a 2nd location in the Cathedral Commons neighborhood, has everything from raw to uniquely grilled oysters, amazing macaroni and cheese and delicious desserts. Il Porto Restaurant located in Gaithersburg is sure to serve up a delicious Italian meal to you and your loved ones. These restaurants pride themselves on quality service and use the freshest, seasonal products. Be on the look out for mid-week specials throughout the year.
