You have a group of 10 women in their 30's and early 40's - where would you go?

Uncle Julios's in Bethesda is easy and fun too.

I'm confused by the rave reviews for Mon Ami Gabi on this thread. I haven't read good reviews of it elsewhere, so I've avoided eating there.

Stop living your life by reviews, and try it for yourself.

It's reliable, and the steak frites are terrific. Is it an 11 out of 10? No. Is it always an 8.5, every time? Yes.

Also, it's much better than Redwood, IMO. Though I've heard Redwood has gotten better. It sucked about a year and a half ago; I haven't been back.

Private table at Boundary Road! Awesome and affordable and right in the thick of H street bar scene.

Black's has the best food in Bethesda, and a decent bar.

It's a chain, just like Clydes, McCormick and Schmick, etc. They have a consistent product that meets a certain threshold for quality. It's better than most places, but can be outdone by the creativity of an independent restaurant serving the same dish with greater latitude to make adjustments depending on what is in season, or qualities of product received at that time. Advantage of a chain is usually that product quality is pretty standardized so you know what to expect every time you go.

I have not been to the one here, but have been to others in Chicago and Vegas and both meals were good, just not memorable.

If you like mediocre Americanized "Mexican" with really hit-or-miss service, surrounded by running, screaming kids.

I've been wanting to try that. But I heard some mixed things, so I'm holding off.
