Food, Cooking, and Restaurants
| Want to take my husband out for dinner for his b-day. Would like to try some place we haven't tried before. Any recommendations for a romantic place, not too noisy or rowdy, with great food? Montgomery Co. or NW DC would be possible. Thanks for any ideas. |

| Le Ferme in Chevy Chase is nice, and nearby. |

Jackie's in Silver Spring -- not that far from NWDC/CC/Bethesda, but worth the trip -- fabulous, eclectic menu; funky/ artsy decor -- it's always fun to go some place new and hip on your birthday.
Nora in Dupont Circle -- no longer cutting edge, but always lovely, quiet and intimate with great organic, locavore food. Old Anglers Inn -- if the weather cooperates and you can sit outside on the terrace, it's a very romantic spot -- again, worth the drive; nothing new or edgy about the menu, but very reliable and classic food. All 3 have attentive and knowledgeable, but not overly intrusive service. |
| persimmon is nice, although had declined a little bit the last time I was there. |

blah-rubber pasta poor service |
not remotely near bethesda |
and full of old people |
| Try Jaleo. Its spanish tapas and GREAT sangria! Its Jose Andres restaurant and its right by the Bethesda Regal. |
Great place but no romance! |
| Ah Le Ferme..love that place. Last I went people were even dancing..beautiful and located where you can't even imagine a restaurant!! |
Yeah I guess no romance...but I cannot really think of any bethesda restaurants that have that candle light quiet cove type of feeling. Hmmm....La Panetteria was a small quiet Italian place tucked away on Cordell I believe. |
