Wonderful Holiday Treats & Customer Service! My friend/I…read morevisited Rodman's last weekend for sweet/salty treats & Rodman's holiday sale. She loves chocolate especially dark chocolate. I introduced her to "Baci" Chocolate a candy from Italy, varieties of milk & dark chocolate stuffed w/hazelnuts also on sale. I enjoy them during the holidays. And purchased the milk chocolate version & a salty treat. Well she noticed the dark chocolate display was empty. She asked a store associate if more "Baci" dark chocolate was available? A young man checked inventory & found none. Then he checked some other display & found (2) bags-"Baci" dark chocolate candy. My friend was thrilled & appreciated his diligence. This is a Wonderful example of outstanding customer service. See Photo!

No one should be verbally harassed, mocked, or intimidated over wine. Shut it down. I've been a loyal customer at Rodman's Wine, Beer & Gourmet for quite some time. However, my recent experience was deeply upsetting and completely unacceptable. I walked in after a facial treatment (still healing, visibly wearing recovery cream), and was met with inappropriate behavior by a male employee who aggressively questioned my age while examining my ID--despite it clearly stating my birth year. Instead of conducting himself professionally, he loudly announced my birth year in front of other customers, challenged me on my age, and insisted I declare it aloud. This was not only invasive but also deeply humiliating. When I asked why that was necessary, he escalated the situation by telling me to "lower my voice" or I wouldn't be allowed back in the store. That is not customer service--that's verbal intimidation and public shaming. To the woman at the register who knows me and treated me with grace--thank you. To management: You should be ashamed to have someone representing your business like that. After the disturbing behavior, three men came outside the storefront looking around casing the parking lot--an apparent attempt to intimidate. Thankfully, my husband was made aware immediately and we will be filing a report. Women should not be made to feel unsafe for simply buying a bottle of wine. To anyone who's ever been mistreated or disrespected by the staff at this location: File a formal complaint with the Montgomery County Alcohol Board. You are not alone--and this kind of behavior should never be tolerated.

Not only did the fudge pair well with the beer, but each one (tried 4) was delicious. They were all smooth, creamy, and not super rich. I like how creative the flavors are. Although I enjoyed all 4 pieces I tried, my favorite was a tie between the spicy mango and strawberry balsamic. Loved the slight heat the spicy mango gave, with the spice coming through right at the end of each bite. I thought the strawberry balsamic would be my least favorite, but it was so good. I liked how both had fruit pieces in them. I definitely plan to order more fudge from The Chocolatier's Palette in the near future. Be sure to check out their website periodically as the flavors change every 2-3 weeks. Local pickup (I believe near Grosvenor metro) or shipping is available.

I have been going to Balducci's since it switched over from Sutton Place gourmet many many years…read moreago. Balducci's always had consistently high-quality food and specialty food. Since being acquired by Safeway/Albertsons, the "specialty", in a specialty store, has pretty much vanished. I still do believe that their bistro meals, ordered with care, can be a budget, friendly, yes, I do mean budget, friendly, alternative to fast food (herb, roasted turkey dinner with fingerling potatoes and green beans are $16 and can last for two meals) Their carrot cake, has always been exceptional and remains so The disappointing part is how Balducci's now stocks basically Safeway products and up charges considerably for them. (perfect example is their prepared coleslaw. ) Items like cucumber salad, herring nibs, and other items have disappeared in favor of commercially packaged items. I always found their fish to be fresh and flavorful, but now I have seen a decline in the quality of their fish. Recently , I went to get one of their wonderful cups of coffee and found that that Service no longer is available. I guess things change.However, I don't feel the change at Balducci's has been for the better

Some may feel that shopping organic can be expensive, but really is not. The produce and fruit is expensive but it's organic and worth it. However their mushrooms are expensive and you can get a better deal at your local Asian grocery store. The bulk area you can bring in your own container, let them pre weigh it first. Buying your spices is cheaper than deal with major brands. You can buy herbs etc in bulk. I bought my marshmallow root, elderberry and lemon balm here (which all have health benefits) Friendly customer service people. Cs dept always have free coffee, and coupons. Just ask! Their water station carries RO water and alkaline water. Bring your containers. They go for .39cents per gallon for RO. .99 cents for alkaline water. They don't have a good selection for meats .. Check out is usually fast. After all that shopping go nextdoor for some good KBBQ/Kpot !

The Corby Kitchen is a pretty relaxed environment, inside the Marriott in Bethesda. We've had…read moredrinks here before, as well as lunch and dinner. Some of the servers are super great, and some are not so much. When a burger without certain ingredients was ordered, one waiter rudely said "then what do you want on the burger" however, the burger still had plenty of ingredients listed, that the person ordering didn't ask to be left off. It's difficult to order a plain burger with the only burger on the menu has bacon and cheese. The food is standard fare. Burgers, sandwiches, salads. The chef pays attention to allergens. I've tried the shrimp roll, the Caesar salad, and the turkey club. All of these can be made gluten free, although the menu doesn't denote it. Another in my party enjoyed the shrimp tacos and the burger. Being inside the Marriott, it is a little overpriced, but the food is good, just hit or miss with service. Great for a quick bite if you're staying in the Marriott.

The ordering process was fast, but the food preparation was a bit slow even though it wasn't busy inside and they seemed sufficiently staffed.

If I had tried it at this location first, I probably wouldn't have ordered it again. Overall, I'll skip this location in the future and stick to the other ones instead.

You may feel tempted to thank him for accepting your money, but beneath the tough exterior he seems to have a good heart. The store offers a great variety of high-quality Eastern European products, including a strong selection of meats and dairy.

Even so, it easily beats the other Eastern European shop on Nicholson Lane. Recommended.
