    Enjoyed the vibe and experience at Beth's. The restaurant has a relaxed, contemporary atmosphere that's perfect for casual dinners or drinks with friends. The drinks were good, with a nice variety of cocktails, wines, and craft beers, and the service was friendly, attentive, and prompt. The food was good too, with each dish fresh, well-seasoned, and satisfying. The portion sizes were generous, which makes it great for sharing or leaving the table feeling full. That said, the menu felt a bit confusing and lacked a clear identity. While the website mentions "classic American flavors with a contemporary twist," dishes like crunchy Ravioli, Risotto, Charred Octopus, and Truffle Potato Croquettes didn't quite feel American to me--but then again, what is American, haha? Overall, Beth's has a great ambiance, solid service, and tasty food.

    I was able to give Beth's another try last night and I'm so glad I did. The service was absolutely amazing this time - attentive without being overbearing and they checked on us just enough to make sure we had everything we needed without interrupting our conversation. My dinner companion loved the cozy ambiance and couldn't stop commenting on how thoughtfully the menu and cocktails were put together, in addition to the decor. We tried a few different cocktails and these ones were great. He loved every dish he ordered, especially the plating and the subtle details that added to the flavor profiles. We dine out a lot and some menu items are so unique - I couldn't stop raving about the Baked Brie again and the Balloon Tostado is so unique and fun to eat. We've also never had duck prosciutto before and he loved the Barley Risotto - using barley to make a risotto gave it a unique texture and bite he really enjoyed. It felt like such a well-rounded and genuine experience, and I really appreciated the extra care that went into making the evening special. Fernando was amazing! We already can't wait to go back again!

    So it was a little weird walking up to an empty bar and seating area in front but after finding the door to the interior it was warm and inviting. We chose to eat outside and it was a fun experience. We don't do fancy dinners often but this was a good time. And the food was a lot of fun. It's not a big menu but filling and a lot of stuff you wouldn't think would work together but it just does. Friend spring rolls with duck procuitto on toast? Yep. Fried ravioli and risooto with short ribs? Yep. Very fun!

    The outside of Beth's is nice too.

    Beth's is a very nice place to visit. If you're looking for a relaxing place to visit for food and drinks at the cocktail bar or lounge area. Oh wait I almost forgot about coffee and tea options which is a thumbs up for me. There is plenty of seating available for you outside as well. I like the music in the background playing a nice selections of songs. Service is great and this is my first time here and it won't be the last, lol.

    As I walked up, I was like "omg, this is so cute." It's totally a photographer's fun space! My friend and I sat at the bar to take advantage of happy hour! I loved my purple rain!! It was delicious and nicely balanced. My friend had wine. She enjoyed a few appetizers from the happy hour menu. The parmesan fries were lovely with the garlic aïoli, which is homemade. She also enjoyed the spring rolls-- they come in four. I ordered the brussels sprouts and they were delicious. Even my friend tried them and she doesn't even like brussels sprouts and said they were good. I took advantage of the restaurant week menu which was one appetizer one entrée and one dessert for $40. I ordered the Brussels sprouts, the steak frites and the fudge brownie. The steak frites was very nicely cooked. Nice taste. Did not enjoy the brownie at all, it was incredibly dry, I prefer my brownies to be soft and gooey, something to sink your teeth into... Our bartender was super sweet and took it back and had us try the pastel de Nata! Now, that is totally worth getting. Light and flaky and delicious! We had a lovely experience here! Hope they add more main dishes in the future.

    The food here was delicious, i really liked the sauce they put on the chicken and waffles and the hummus was top notch

    1000x yes to this place! I tried it on a night where I was in the mood for something new and it didn't disappoint. Everything from the location, to the ambiance, to the service, to the food, I was pleased with it all. For the food specifically, I loved how they elevated and added a creative twist to traditional dishes. All plates have great portions and are beautifully presented. The restaurant is conveniently located next to Ala (another great spot) and in between the two restaurants is an outdoor bar area that looks like a staple for the spring/summer! I can't wait to go back

    Stopped by here for drinks earlier this week. Thought about doing dinner but the dinner menu is quite limited so we stuck to drinks. Drinks were good and the ambiance was better but not a place I'm rushing back to. If you're in the area and want a quiet and romantic place to have a drink and a few appetizers then it's worth swinging by.

    1. Great, fast service; 2. Pretty cool and upscale yet different atmosphere and aesthetic; 3. Creative drink menu; 4. Very good food (B to B+) with good portions, hefty, flavors, and quantity; 5. Very walkable area. Whether intending to come here or trawling through the neighborhood, definitely consider stopping by. I recommend such. The warm brie, duck prosciutto occasionally, and fried chicken burger were all delightful for me.  Also, they are on InKind (if you know, you know; and if not, message me) as well as Resy. Likewise, they have an all day Happy Hour Tuesday through Friday.

    My group's experience at Beth's was a huge letdown and left us feeling a bit duped, like are we on an episode of MTV Pranked? This place is a half-hearted rebrand from the Italian restaurant that previously occupied the space. The decor consisted of numerous pieces of plywood, raw and unpainted, partially covering painted Italian countryside scenes -- truly bizarre. It felt like we walked in in the middle of a renovation that was not completed. We saw visible signs of lack of cleanliness: a dirty plate given to us, and bugs flying around our food the whole meal. We expected cool cocktails and good food, but after trying almost every small plate on the menu, we all felt it was extremely underwhelming. For example, the beet "salad" was on a large bed of parsley, instead of actual lettuce - why? The baked brie came with 4 stale crackers - why not just provide enough crackers for the amount of brie? The fried ravioli and sauce could have easily come straight from the grocery store. The cocktails were lackluster and overpriced. The service was okay, but the server forgot several of our drink orders, and forgot to give us silverware unless we asked for it. Overall, our experience was so poor that it compelled me to resurrect my Yelp account and write this review. This restaurant does not come close to meeting Bethesda restaurant standards, especially for the prices it charges.

    If you want food poisoning this is the place! The tasting experience had us sick. The drinks tasted like old syrup

    I came here for a quick dinner today and wow, what a find! The restaurant immediately reminded me…read moreof a taco place in Miami I loved, which already set the right tone. The hostess was very sweet and I got to take advantage of the nice weather and sit outside. It's taco Tuesday, so the hostess and the server both reminded me it was "buy one get one free" - a great deal! I decided to go big and try four tacos, and all of them were very good! I'm from Southern California, so usually am picky about tacos, and some of these really exceeded my expectation. Al pastor: very tender and flavorful. A teeny bit dry, but perfect with the red salsa they brought for the table. Beef birria: nice and crispy tortilla, the consommé was very fragrant and not too salty, and they were generous with the beef. As normal with birria, it's a bit heavier/oilier, so one was enough, but it's very good! Baja fish: probably one of the favs! I made the mistake of leaving it to last, so the outside of the fish was a little less crispy, but if you eat it sooner, that shouldn't be an issue. The piece of fish was very large and cooked perfectly (very flaky). The flavor was great, especially with that red salsa. Avocado tostada: generous toppings, great flavor balance, fun crunch with very soft toppings. If you've ever eaten a tostada, you know you have to approach it like I imagine people approach skittish horses: with total confidence, even if you know it'll end up as a mess on the place. Otherwise, service was very quick and friendly and they didn't come and bother me during the meal, which I love. It really filled up while I was eating, such a testament to how good this place is. I definitely can't wait to come back!

    Never leave with a to go order without opening up the stapled bag and checking the bag first…read more I blame myself but 25% off the order was not in the bag when I got back. That's what I get for assuming basic competence. So if you must order here to go...PLEASE CHECK THAT THE STAFF DIDN'T MAKE A BASIC MISTAKE OF FOOD SERVICE.
