Good Bethesda Restaurant with Outdoor Heating??

[Anonymous]

Hi DCUM experts. I need to plan a business dinner in Bethesda. We are most comfortable sitting outdoors still, but it is getting chilly. Do you have any suggestions for some place that might work, despite November temps???

Not Bethesda but close: bistro Aracosia in Palisades. The dumplings are the best!

True Food Kitchen has a huge outdoor dining terrace. You might want to call and ask if they have put out propane heaters.

Medium Rare but everyone needs to be OK with steak

Mon Ami Gabi has outdoor seating, as does Raku.

Thank you for these suggestions. I am disappointed how many restaurants do not have outdoor heaters. Seems like it would be worth their investment (Old Anglers Inn even charges $7.50 per table, as a heater charge--which I don't mind).

Are any of your familiar with Bistro Provence in Bethesda? Their patio looks nice, and the food sounds great but the service reviews are abysmal. That could be embarrassing with a client.

Please share any recent experiences. Thank you.

Ate outside at Mon Ami Gabi recently and there was a street musician playing quite loudly. Fine for family but not great for business. Was hard to hear each other talk.

Thanks—I checked with MAG today and they have no heaters

Bistro Provence is lovely and we’ve always had great service. The patio is so pretty. But it’s expensive so look at the website first.
