Really cute space! Love the indoor trees and decor! Staff super friendly, passionate and kind…read more Loved the falafel and mushroom shish kebab! Those were my favorites. Followed by the Zaytoon and then hummus and cauliflower. All really good but in that order of preference! Can't miss the first two. So much flavorrrrr

Have you ever loved a restaurant so much you went back twice in the same day? That was me here…read more This Pike & Rose gem in North Bethesda is everything you hope for in a neighborhood spot -- fresh, imaginative Mediterranean-inspired food, a vibrant yet cozy atmosphere, and the kind of place you immediately start planning to revisit. Everything I tried was fantastic, from the perfectly prepared chicken kebabs to the cod with farro. The blackberry vodka cocktail was beautiful and delicious, and the saffron steamed milk with ginger for dessert was absolute perfection. The entire concept feels current, welcoming, and effortlessly cool without trying too hard. Can't wait to return the next time I'm back in town for meetings!

I've had this booked marked for over two years and my cutie pie always says, "what is in this book…read moremark of yours", lol. Although he will lead most times, I pick one place every weekend so we can check it off together. This Friday (5/16) I picked Julii! He's a regular so although super packed they made it work and sat us immediately without a reservation. This place is popular and a reservation is needed. While I thought the menu was limited, it does the job. I wanted Branzino and had that in my mind the whole day but was disappointed that it wasn't on the menu. Welp, y'all know I love a burger. Service was fantastic! Ambiance feels like stepping into a French‑Mediterranean boutique café that someone elevated into a luxury dining room. It's warm, intimate, and softly glamorous without trying too hard. Let's get into it! Chicken Kabob - Seasoned perfectly over rice! Really good! Burger - Added bacon and mushrooms- Absolutely delicious! Drinks were delicious! No apps because I wasn't that hungry! I will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

Such a nice little cafe to visit midday for lunch. It's so many things in one a wine & spirits…read moreshop. A lunch deli, remaking deli classics we all love such as the turkey club, pastrami, quesadillas, and much more. They also have a case of tasty gluten free cupcakes, didn't realize this until after I purchased them. I enjoyed my pastrami on wheat with crisp hot and golden fries. The staff is nice and polite. Street parking wasn't bad for a Sunday afternoon. A nice place to get a window seat and break out your laptop to get a few things done!

As a gluten free gal pal, I love this place and truly wish I lived closer. It would hurt my wallet…read morebecause I'd go all the time, but actually the prices are pretty reasonable imo (check my photo) - especially for GF food in this area. Got a sandwich - bread was delicious and it was just fresh and clean (photo!). Service was great, seems like a family owned place. Ambiance was eccentric and a little quirky - part of its charm! Whenever I'm in the area, best believe I'll be back so I can slowly order every single GF item on this menu. If anything changes with my opinion, will update!

I just want to preface this by saying this review was not written by AI. This is a heartfelt review…read morefrom a real human! My boyfriend and I went to Melina for the first time, and we both left with the exact same thought: this is the best restaurant we've ever been to. To begin, our server, Justin, was the absolute best server we've ever had. From the moment we sat down and were handed the menu, Justin immediately began to explain the starters and appetizers. He didn't just explain what was on the menu; he broke down the origins, the ingredients, where they were imported from, why they were named what they were, how they were cooked, and even how they would make us feel! We left that introduction knowing exactly what we wanted and why, with zero guessing. Neither of us is from Greece, yet we didn't feel like we had to look up a single thing on our phones to understand the menu. Everything we had was a perfect combination and an incredible experience. When it came to the main dishes, I chose the Portobello Mushrooms, which come with a hazelnut farro. Justin remembered that my boyfriend is allergic to nuts and thoughtfully had the farro served on the side so that my boyfriend could still try the rest of my plate safely. That level of care and thoughtfulness is something I've never encountered in all of our dates. Between the jokes, the perfect check-ins, his menu encyclopedia knowledge, and the overall vibes, my boyfriend and I left the restaurant overwhelmed with joy. Neither of us has ever left a restaurant review before, so that alone says a lot. Melina and Justin will definitely be a regular staple in our lives moving forward. Please go to this restaurant and get the Crab Croquettes (every single bite left me with a smile)!

What a beautiful restaurant with such a delicious menu!…read more I came here with my friend for brunch and was pretty blown away by how nice the atmosphere was just from entering the restaurant. Truly a lot of thought was put into the decor which I love to see for sure! Our table ordered the bread of the day with the spread and olives. I loved how there were different types of olives with this appetizer. The tuna and avocado toast, though? Amazing, fresh, so delicious. I would order this for every brunch visit! The service was also great! 10/10 Very courteous and kind. Thank you!

Pretty good food and pretty large selection for a very in the cut spot! Parking can get a little…read morecrazy back behind the restaurant, and seating can get limited if you come prime time brunch hour. But everyone was nice and cashiers were patient even when I couldn't decide what to eat LOL and the line was getting backed up. I couldn't decide right away cuz I was getting nervous the line was getting long so I got steak and egg. Classic meal, well worth the price! Large portion for potatoes too! I need to come back to try other items on the menu. There is too much to choose from, especially the Latin fusion section which surprised me it was even on the menu when I first saw it!

I want to love this place but it really doesn't love me back…read more PROS * Nice menu, some healthy food options * Coffee is above average for the area and better than Starbucks * Love the outdoor area, good service CONS * The emphasis on liquor kinda kills the coffee shop vibe. I get that's way more lucrative than coffee but I mean ... insert the name of the shop. * Food is higher priced for smaller portions and lately has not been good. I most recently ordered the Impossible Burger (which I've ordered before) and it was *not* good. * The big TV running what looks like a looped investor presentation, which is weird and distracting. I get that I can sit outside away from it but you can't do that year-round and when it's very hot or very cold you get an eye full of ... whatever that is.

We had brunch here recently. It was a pleasant experience. The best thing was that we could talk…read moreto each other at normal volume! So often these days places are so loud! The service was so so considering the size of the restaurant. There seemed to be plenty of servers but we had to flag them down to order, get coffee refills and get the check. We liked the food. They had an interesting shukshuka that 2 people got and finished every bit. They also got a side of potato "hash" but they were really just diced roasted potatoes. Not worth the $6 price but worked for soaking up the shukshuka gravy. We had one beet salad that was very nice. We ordered the beignets at the end and they were just fair. We would still go back to try other things!

Another find in Montgomery County worth checking out if you haven't. Family friendly, not too noisy…read morebut not too quiet. Several great food options and the servers do a great job of explaining the menu. Food was top notch and worth going back.

I've been hearing about this place for a while and I was finally able to try it! Tatte is…read moreabsolutely worth it! It's large, open, and insanely clean. The staff was super helpful in providing recommendations on the menu. I didn't try any food this time but I absolutely loved my Black Sesame Iced Coffee. It's a subtle but nutty flavor with the perfect amount of sweetness. 5/5!

The fig mint lemonade was SO good! Very refreshing and perfect flavor…read more The short rib grilled cheese was also pretty good! I didn't like the beets though. They give a pretty good amount of meat and the bread is nice and thick and buttered well. Id get both again but I'd get the sandwich without the beet I didn't like the raspberry meringue. It was too crunchy. There's a lot of seating and a decent amount of food options. Service is quick enough!

I used to eat here everyday (and still would) but they stopped answering the phone for call in…read moreorders. I been calling everyday and they won't even answer the phone to tell me they don't do orders over the phone anymore (idk if that's true but I'm assuming they no longer accept mobile orders since they don't answer the damn phone). It wouldn't be such a big deal but they don't let u choose the pickup option on DoorDash. They lost one of they best customers just from not answering the phone
