Frienship Heights/ Chevy Chase Restaurants

Blue 44, near Arucola's, is casual and generally good. Meiwah is ok but nothing special in my book, and for most of the other places listed, you might as well drive, or take the subway, to Bethesda instead where there is a lot. Or go the other way to Le Chat Noir for traditional French.

I find it way easier to park in Friendship Heights than finding a space in Bethesda especially the area around Woodmont and Bethesda Ave. Those businesses must be feeling the pinch.

Do you think you could bring a well-behaved toddler to Range? I.e. obviously, I won't let him run around or throw food, but sometimes he does use an outdoor voice when he shouldn't. In other words, is it loud and are there high chairs?

Thanks PP for the feedback on Arucola.

It would be fine for family dining - it's nice but not formal. Matisse across the street is what I think of as more formal. Le Chat Noir feels like a cozy, bistro with a lively vibe - but not too loud!

Our favorites in that area are Indique Heights, Blue 44, Terasol, Le Chat Noir, Cafe of India, Pete's and Acacia Bistro - which while further down in Van Ness is our absolute favorite neighborhood restaurant. Easy parking.
