The establishment is always spotless clean. The menu has all your Italian/Indian favs. Today we got Chicken Tika Masala, Pakoras and Chicken 65 which all was excellent.

So I said why don't we try this place, it's closer to us and right by the other restaurants we frequent. The ambiance is so cute!! It's a smaller sized place but that really emphasized the personal feel. We were sat right away by our server who was very welcoming and friendly. There were lots of menu items but like I said we were craving pho and pho we got! There's only one size for the soup bowls, which would be a large at the other place we frequent. SOOO MANY NOODLES !!! And hefty portions of protein!!! The broth was soo flavorful and the dishes came out hot. I got the #6 and my partner got the #2, our bowls were clear by the end of it. My partner rates the pho a 7/10. Not to mention the side of vinegar onions is also LARGE and only $2.50 add on, worth it. The Thai tea was also very yummy as well! This place is definitely a hidden gem, we'll definitely be back! (: (food was so fresh that we ate right away without getting any pictures lol)

Since it was my first time, I didn't know what to order. The lady who served me, I had asked several questions which she was able to provide answer. After looking over the menu for a few minutes, I decided to order the chicken Pho soup and the spring rolls. The rolls very good. For the soup, it took a few minutes to get use to it. I added some sauce to it, which made it flavorl. There was big pieces of chicken. I would go back and try something else. It was very nice inside. It wasn't busy so I didn't have to wait too long for my food.

On the right side of the restaurant is a bar area where you can get drinks/cocktails and order food. Someone will bring the food to you on this side. On the left side is the cafeteria style where you order at the counter and they call out your number and you pick up the food. Service is really nice. They have an extensive menu and they answered all my questions. We got fried scallops, which were big and juicy. Not overcooked! Paired well the sauces available near the door, and my favorite was a mix of cocktail sauce and the hot sauce. The fried oysters were my favorite though. We also liked the crab balls, and the Maryland crab soup which came with big pieces of crab. The sides of collard greens and Mac and cheese definitely hit the spot. The steamed Cajun mussels were big in portion and delicious too. We were only visiting for a short time but I wish I tried their desserts and chicken wings and seafood boil. The little bottles with alcohol on the side (rum punch , jungle juice, etc) were so good too. Those are dangerous, they don't even taste like alcohol! The food is super heavy here but it hits the cravings and the ambiance with everyone there is nice.

I ordered the stuffed flounder with two sides. I got collard greens and brussel sprouts. Also ordered a small Maryland crab soup. My partner got the shrimp and scallops over rice and ordered a side of green beans with mushrooms. Everything was outstanding. My flounder was broiled nicely and there were what seemed to be three filets in the order. The stuffing (crab meat) was a huge portion of what seemed to be just crab. I kept looking for mayo or filler and didn't see anything. It was delicious. The collard greens and brussel sprouts - huge portion of each - were both very good. I liked the fact that the greens were not swimming in pork fat and didn't have anything in them but tasty greens. My partner enjoyed their scallops and shrimp. The rice was even in texture and flavorful. The Maryland crab soup had at least 4 large chunks of crab in addition to veggies. Delicious broth with old bay flavor. There's a sauce station with Mambo sauce, cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, hot sauce and ketchup. I tried all the sauces and they were good. Cocktail sauce had a good amount of horseradish in it. The place itself is set up like a huge cafeteria. You walk in and order at a counter, then pass a variety of the entrees and sides. They all looked fresh and good. Large. Well lit seating area. You seat yourself and pick up your order when it's ready (a sign displays the order numbers when they are ready). The place is clean and I enjoyed the variety of music playing throughout our meal. Some Luther Vandross, Chicago, and other tunes from the same time period. Really pleasant. There's an active bar with happy hour food and drinks. The bar was hopping when we were there.

We didn't stay for the DJ, but the atmosphere was already lively and fun while we were there. We ordered margaritas, empanadas, and the octopus. The margaritas were decently strong, had great flavor, and were about double the size of what you typically get at most restaurants (a win in my book)! The empanadas were a 10/10! Absolutely delicious. The dough was perfectly crispy without being too hard, and they were fully stuffed with ground beef and cheese. I'll definitely be thinking about those empanadas for a while! Now, the octopus was my first time ever trying octopus, so I didn't really know what to expect. It came out sizzling and the presentation was great, and there was even a good of amount of shrimp (head on) on the side, which I didn't realize came with the dish.. It also came with a side of rice beans and the choice of corn or flour tortilla. The flavor was absolutely amazing. You could really taste that fire-grilled flavor. For the most part, the texture was good as well. However, the thicker bottom portion didn't seem to be cooked all the way through and had a very fatty texture. We asked our waiter if they could put it back on the grill, and he took care of it with no problem. Service was really great. Our waiter was on top of everything and got every part of our order right. Parking was easy, and the restaurant itself has plenty of seating. Although I didn't stay for the DJ, I have a feeling this place turns into a really good time later in the evening. I'd definitely recommend Salsa Brava, especially for happy hour...and I'm absolutely coming back for those empanadas!

I was finally in the area and got a chance to go in person and wow, the experience of eating the food fresh there was even better - although I must say this food does travel very well. I wish I caught the young man's name, who was the cashier, but he was great! He was very friendly, just seemed like a good, hardworking kid. I wanted a classic so I just got the gyro platter, the Greek fries and the soup. The soup is so good and reminds me of my favorite Greek place back home in chicago, I used to eat this type of soup every weekend with my family. Ingredients are fresh here and quality is always A1. The Greek fries are my favorite and a guilty pleasure. They are so flavorful and have the best texture. The gyro was also very filling and they really don't skimp out here with their toppings. I'm an extra sauce kinda gal and here, they really just go above and beyond without you ever needing to ask them. I wish I had a closer location in DC! Manifesting a central dc location soon! thanks to your staff for a wonderful meal!

The is my first review of November so I'm behind but will be catching up soon...lol But back to Mad…read moreCow I came on yesterday (11/9/25) around 1pm to meet up with some friends for Brunch. Usually with brunch we would do the bottomless mimosas and all but because I was driving I decided not to participate in that. And usually I would get chicken and waffles but I was in the mood for a burger. So I thought because their name is "Mad Cow" the burger would be the bomb...but nope it was not good at all. So I prefer a beef burger cooked medium with blue cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and onions. When I burger got tot the table it was dry as a board. No blue cheese that I paid extra for and the burger was not cooked correctly it was cooked well done. Smdh. So the waiter brought me my blue cheese apologized about it and also gave me a mayo bottle. Even with the burger still was not good and the patty was so thick with no flavor not even salt and pepper was in it!! I tried their punch drink which was really good but for $15 a pop in a regular water glass was ridiculous. Make sure you don't get too tipsy as they already have like a 20% gratuity added on each of our checks no matter how small or big your group is which again is ridiculous! Will I come back...maybe only because I would like to try some Jamaican food they offer. But for brunch...it's a no for me!

Today, I gave them another shot because Uber Eats was offering a buy one, get one free deal on the jerk chicken meal. I chose rice & peas with plantain for my sides. The chicken was cooked on the grill--which I love--because it really brings out the flavor in jerk chicken. I also requested my jerk sauce on the side since I prefer a dry rub style over a saucy one. The only drawback was the small bone pieces in the chicken and rice. That's something to be cautious about, especially if a child is eating the meal. The plantains were also inconsistent--some pieces were hard, while others were mushy. On the bright side, the coco bread was perfect and the Jamaican rum cake was phenomenal. Whoever baked that cake clearly took their time soaking it in rum. It reminded me of the way my grandmother used to make it--absolutely delicious. I would definitely order the rum cake again.

I came to Catherine's Restaurant when it first opened with my ex. He said this place was casual and so we were not dressed up.

Anyway, it's in a shopping center so Sunday best might be doing too much. I wouldn't drive back to the area for this place but definitely would come back if invited and was in the area. The place is small, bar is small but for Laurel I'm sure it does the job. Let's get into it: Calamari - Was delicious. Lamb Chops - Good - He enjoyed! Chicken Florentine - So Good! Drinks - Great!
