Seasons 52 reminded me of something. A hotel lobby? No, not exactly. An old school steakhouse?…read moreCloser. A restaurant at a high end senior living community? Yes - I think that is it. Dark wood paneling and low lights, hushed tones, and a clientele in their golden years. This is not a bad thing. I will take it over techno-boom dining any day of the week. The food is pretty good. As an appetizer, we ordered the grilled artichokes with lemon hummus, a nice idea and satisfactory in its execution. For our main course we shared the seared tuna salad (which they helpfully served on two plates), and added a grilled lobster tail for each of us. The lobster was the belle of the ball - fantastically prepared and beautifully complemented by the crisp white wine I had ordered. That made up for the disappointment of the tuna, which was tasteless, and the salad, which was miserably over-dressed. If ordering salad, I strongly suggest asking for the dressing on the side. We ended with the flight of desserts. These were okay, but not so great that we needed six of them! One per person is more than enough, or just skip dessert here altogether. As for the service - our waitron did not seem to enjoy working here and was a bit surly. We had to hunt her down when we wanted a second drink. Overall, this is not a bad choice if you are in the area and looking for a sedate vibe with hit-or-miss food and a good wine list.

A big shoutout to our server, Nani, who was attentive, friendly, and full of personality. She made our special night even better.

We'll definitely be back!

Friendly, genuine service made this a wonderful place to celebrate my birthday. I met up with a…read morefriend to catch up, and from the moment I arrived, the experience felt welcoming and relaxed. The hostess was warm and accommodating, offering to seat me while I waited for my friend. Once she arrived, we were promptly shown to a comfortable booth in the dining room. The floor-to-ceiling windows filled the space with natural light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. We started with the cheesesteak spring rolls (three per order), which were delicious. They tasted exactly as advertised--gooey cheesesteak filling wrapped in a perfectly crispy spring roll. For our entrees, my friend ordered the short ribs with broccoli instead of risotto, while I chose the Cajun shrimp pasta. The short ribs came with two generous pieces and were incredibly tender. My friend, who always orders short ribs whenever they're on a menu, was thoroughly impressed. The Cajun shrimp pasta was just okay. While it included a generous portion of nicely sized shrimp and the sausage added some much-needed flavor, the dish overall fell short of my expectations. The pasta was cooked slightly past al dente, and I was hoping for more of the bold, spicy kick you'd expect from a Cajun dish, but the flavors never really came through. To top off the evening, our server surprised me with a complimentary birthday dessert, allowing me to choose anything on the menu. That was such a thoughtful touch. We shared the cheesecake, which was served in a half mason jar with whipped cream, a chocolate "Happy Birthday" plaque, and a candle. I requested the blueberry compote on the side since I wasn't sure we'd enjoy it. While it ended up being a bit sweeter than our preference, it complemented the tart cheesecake filling nicely. The only thing that caught me off guard was that the cheesecake was served warmer than expected. On a hot summer evening, I was anticipating a chilled dessert. Overall, I had a fantastic experience. The attentive service, comfortable atmosphere, and the fact that we never felt rushed--even after spending about two and a half hours at dinner--made for a memorable birthday celebration. While my entrée didn't quite hit the mark, I'd gladly return to try another dish with a bolder flavor profile.

I tried it in the car and was immediately disappointed that I didn't dine in because WOW--the pasta was fresh, and the truffle butter was a hit! It's such a simple dish, but it has so many amazing flavors packed into it. Easily a 10/10 and definitely going to be my go-to order, especially as someone who is semi-picky. The restaurant has plenty of seating, along with an outdoor bar and seating area. Everything was clean, and I loved the old-school, unique pasta-house feel of the restaurant. I definitely can't wait to go back--and next time, I'll be dining in!

We came for lunch on Sunday and the restaurant was busy. We were seated right away. Service was excellent! A funny story, when we sat down, the waiter spoke to me in full Portuguese. I guess he took one look at my face and understood that I didn't understand a word, so he switched to English. We ordered a Cobb salad, a beef tucamana frita empanada, yucca, and flan de la leches. My friend really enjoyed the Cobb salad. She finished hers and it was a generous portion. The grilled chicken was seasoned well. The lettuce and veggies were fresh. I think their yucca was the best I have tasted in a long time. It was hot, crisp, and lightly fried. Next time, I will get the larger portion. The empanada was good. I loved the outside pastry. But, the filling was different than a Peruvian tucamana. So, it wasn't as sweet and the meat was a little tougher, than I would have liked. The crown jewel of our meal was the flan dulce les leches. It was fabulous. The caramel drizzle. The light and airy flan and the creamy deliciousness. It was excellent! So, service was great, they are very nice. The meal had some hits and misses. I would definitely like to return and try some of the Argentinian grilled beef and veggies. They also have an attached shop, where you can buy Foods and snacks from Argentina. Welcome to the neighborhood, El Patio.

Representing a Louisiana established restaurant is Ruth's Chris. Although most of the Louisiana is…read morewest of the Mississippi River, New Orleans, where Ruth's Chris started less than 2 miles from the French Quarter. The founder was Ruth Fertel in 1965, and she sold steaks for $5 back then, which is the equivalent of a $53 steak in 2026. I'd kill for a $5 steak...haha. Unfortunately, looking at their Gaithersburg menu, the least expense steak is $60 for a petite 8 oz. I was curious to see New Orleans was cheaper, and that same petite steak is $56. Excellent steak (if I'm not paying), but not worth it. I've only been to Ruth's Chris twice. When I was in high school, I talked about going to Ruth's Chris sometime, and my dad would always say no, or if you're paying for it, we'll go; I quickly shut up when he said if I pay. However, after my high school graduation in June 2002, we went to the Phoenix, AZ location on my dad's dime; more like over $100 for the 3 of us even in 2002 dollars. The Phoenix location closed around 2017 as there was a location only 8.5 miles away in neighboring Scottsdale, so probably just didn't make much sense to have 2 of them so close together. The Scottsdale location was more central for wealthy populations in Town of Paradise Valley as well as still pretty upper crust City of Scottsdale. I visited the Gaithersburg location once in January 2020 with my girlfriend of that time. Neither of us paid! Don't worry we didn't dine & dash. Her friend sent us an invite to a Financial planning talk, which included a free meal to Ruth's Chris. We sat at tables facing the presenter with various strangers also let's be honest, mostly going for the free meal. But to be fair, I listened to the man's presentation and was considering, but never got around to it. As for the service, it was top notch. We had a pre fixe menu to choose entree, side, & dessert; I think salad too. I definitely got the steak, but they had some seafood options, but Ruth's Chris is known for steak; so I stuck with what I knew. I don't remember which side I got; maybe asparagus, mashed potatoes, or Brussel sprouts. I actually have the Jan. 2020 pic of the dessert, which was a cheesecake, which had strawberry, blueberry, & raspberry on the side. It was delicious too, but the real highlight was the steak. I didn't have the traditional dining experience at Gaithersburg, which is pay for a side, which is maybe enough to split for at 2, and the steak, which is sold a la carte, salad is a la carte, etc. If you go to another common steak chain, say one with a neighboring state in the title to LA established Ruth's Chris, you get a Ribeye with 2 sides included. Sure, it's more of a 4-star steak (prime rib is 5-star there), but paying quadruple for a steak/sides I'll maybe enjoy 50% more isn't worth it to me. But I'll be happy to go back if it was paid for or was significantly discounted. In summary, Ruth's Chris is an excellent steak if money wasn't a consideration.
