Thank you to Caruso's Grocery for hosting my granddaughter's 16th birthday dinner. A huge shout out…read moreto Patrick, the event coordinator from Caruso's who helped me in every aspect of planning this special event. The food was delicious. The group was given a choice of appetizers: meatballs, basil and tomato caprese salad, dinner salad, or garlic bread. Each of the appetizers were better than the next. The girls shared the meatballs, garlic bread, and caprese salad. Thank you to our server for bringing out gluten free bread for one of our guests with a gluten allergy. Our main dishes was the shrimp scampi,which was full of flavor and so tasty. There were several of us who ordered the shrimp scampi and you could hear a chorus of oohs and aah's. We loved every bite. I am pleased to share that Caruso's has gluten free pasta for guests with gluten allergies. And, the gluten free pasta was scrumptious. The birthday girl had chicken parmigiana and a side of spaghetti. She really enjoyed her meal. Another, guest had the penne pasta and she loved hers too. There portions were very generous. We also had a guest order the Caesar salad with shrimp. It came out with dressing, when the dressing was supposed to be on the side, but our waiter was quick to remedy that. The ambiance is lovely and reminds me of my grandmother's home in Little Italy. It is old world Italian with comfortable seating. I know it was a busy night, but the one fly in our ointment was our server. There was too much of a lag between courses, and main dishes came out of the kitchen at different times. Also, our gluten free guest had to sit and watch while others ate cake because her ice cream sundae was no where to be found. It finally made it to the table, but I felt badly for this young lady. I know our server was swamped with guests. Hopefully, next time a large party is on the schedule, they can lighten the load for that server. All of the girls had a good time including the birthday girl. So, I am reminded of the saying, it all works out in the end. Thank you, Caruso's.

Food was very good! To start, we tried the Garlic Bread Quattro Formaggi which was so flavorful they even had fresh garlic inside the bread. We got two pasta dishes: Chicken Parmigiana and Spicy Neapolitan Ragu, both generous portions, very well flavored and overall delicious! Our cocktails were great too. Tried the Lemon Ricota Donuts--they were just okay, a bit too doughy for my preference.

I sat at the bar and got the best service from the bartender! I love that this place is lowkey and in the cut. They're also open late!

I came on a…read moreFriday night, so it was definitely busy and packed, but we were able to get seated right away at the sushi bar. The ambiance and decor were nice. It was definitely a loud atmosphere, but not something I minded. The service was a bit slow, which was understandable given how busy they were, and our server was friendly. Sitting at the sushi bar, I did notice several orders being mixed up or sent back, which may have contributed to the slower service. As for the food I ordered, it was just okay... nothing really stood out or wowed me tbh. I got the soft shell crab and a shrimp tempura taco. They were decent, but I felt the prices were a bit high for the quality. I didn't end up ordering any sushi, so maybe when I'm craving some sushi I'll come back to give that a try.

We went to Fogo de Chão in North Bethesda on July 12th to celebrate my sister's birthday. We made a…read morereservation and were seated very quickly. Right from the beginning, everyone was very friendly. Our waiter took our drink order, and the service was great the whole time. They gave my sister the birthday card they use so all the servers knew she was celebrating. It made her feel really special. I love that you can ask for the cuts of meat you want, and they come out almost right away. It felt like we were kings and queens because the gauchos kept bringing us the meats we requested, and all the other meats kept coming too. We never had to wait long for anything. Our drinks were always refilled, and the staff kept checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The Market Table had a nice variety, but let's be honest, we came for the meat! Everything was hot, fresh, and cooked well. It just kept coming until we were completely full. At the end of the meal, my sister got to pick the birthday dessert she wanted, and the staff came over and sang Happy Birthday. She also got to use the $25 birthday reward that was emailed to her, which was a nice bonus. We usually go to the Virginia location, but now that there's one in North Bethesda, we'll probably come here more often since it's much closer. We had a wonderful time celebrating together, and my sister had a great birthday. Every staff member we interacted with was kind, helpful, and genuinely pleasant to be around. If you're looking for a place to celebrate a birthday or another special occasion, I would definitely recommend this location. We had a lot of fun, left completely stuffed, and are already looking forward to coming back.

They have stable internet, relaxing music and friendly staff! We got the cookie latte (only $4) and two arepas. The prices were very reasonable for the latte, they have oatmilk almond and regular milk. Regarding the arepas, both were fantastic! I got the chicken salad (it was a hot day!) and he got a beef one, the flavors were both strong and refreshing. Learned that this spot is a good place to come after work too since they also sell wine and beer. Turns more into a happy hour kinda spot. Seems like a lovely local place we will be back to next time we are in Montgomery county

Coffee, beer, wine, juice something for everyone. The menu changes. I ordered the chicken panini which is not usually my favorite but this was so delicious!! I can't wait to go back for another one. They have games that you can also sit, relax and play. If you want that comfort food feeling of a chicken panini, this is the place. Freshly made arepas are soon to come! I can't wait to try that! No pics of the food! It went down too fast :-)

I ordered the Butter Chicken Lunch Combo and it…read morewas a great amount of food: A portion of white rice, one garlic naan (cut into quarters), a bowl of daal (lentils, a bit spicy), the butter chicken (not spicy) and the avocado mango salad. The chicken was juicy and delicious in the velvety smooth creamy curry. I also loved the zesty salad and the luxuriously creamy and flavorful daal. My husband had the Yellow Crab Curry ($22.99). It contained a very generous portion of lumped crab and the curry was smooth and creamy as well. The curry came with rice and we had the option of ordering additional naan, if needed. The restaurant was very quiet for lunch and service was very attentive by the waiter and the Maître d' The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a nice amount of seating, especially for large events. The waiter advised me the restaurant served about 300 people for their Mother's Day brunch! I thought that was amazing. I also thought I couldn't imagine how difficult it would have been to go to the bathroom during such an event. The women's room had two stalls (and the accessible stall had a diaper changing table), but only one sink! Luckily that was not a concern during our lunch visit. Heads up, the wait staff will ask if you'd like a paper bag to carry out any leftovers, and they are $0.10/bag due to the bag tax.

For entrees one got the chicken vindaloo. He loves heat, but this dish overwhelmed him. Along with his sputtering, his checks had a nice rosy red glow. Our crab curry was a nice change. I don't see crab on alot of Indian restaurant menus. It was blue crab, albeit from Louisiana. Tasted fine though. Our other dishes were butter chicken, and chicken tikka marsala. Both were fine, but most Indian restaurants have that down. We got good service, enjoyed the ambience, and recommend you give it a try.

The North Bethesda location is definitely second to none in the JINYA pecking order ( No shade to the DC location ) The ambiance and outside atmosphere takes this location to another level !!! Now let's be honest... the spicy chicken Ramen with broccoli added tipped my tastebuds over board and left me enjoying the spicy broth once all the noodles were gone. This is hands down the best Ramen ( noodles ) presentation and flavored filled dishes you could get on this side of the equator ( And YES I have tasted Ramen from other entities up and down the east coast ) And to my surprise... their non-alcoholic beverages were extremely tasty ( and advertised very well by the server ) Perfect location... Perfectly blended drinks and out of this world Ramen dish !!! See for yourself
