| I would like to take my mother out to a nice lunch for her birthday somewhere special and not too loud given my mother's age. Any recommendations in the area? She lives in Bethesda but we can really go anywhere. |
| We celebrated FIL's 80th at Cooper's Hawk in Rockville and everyone enjoyed it. |
| L' Auberge Chez Francois is very nice. |
| Seasons 52 in North Bethesda |
| Aventino. Or head down to Pike and Rose: Julii or Melina. |
|
Passage to India is full of old people. It has a quiet, calm vibe with a nice decor. I would have recommended it whole-heartedly based on the food too, except that recently I felt the dishes weren't as good. It's just fine now. Not great.

We took my mom to Zinnia for her birthday dinner and she really enjoyed it.

| La Ferme. Sit on the porch! |
That would be my first choice. And they bring an extra dessert with a candle for a celebration. I also like Julii, especially if you can sit outside on a nice day. They bring a sparkler for birthday celebrations. Melina can be loud at dinner but might be okay at lunch (and they also do the sparkler). |
| Persimmon on Wisconsin is small, fairly quiet and the food is superb! |
| Thanks all! |
My choice too. |
Yes food is superb but very noisy I'd say. |
| Capital Grille would be quiet, the food is good and approachable for older people. I think they also appreciate white linens and good service. Easy parking and elevator if needed. |
| Go to the recently redone Mon Ami Gabi -- great atmosphere and feels like a special occasion place. They bring a very pretty complimentary birthday profiterole with a candle if you let them know you're celebrating! |
