| There are seven of us, and we want at least some traditional offerings, not too expensive .... |
| Parkway deli |
| Redwood or Cafe Deluxe? |
|
american tap room rockville or bethesda
normandie farm clydes tower oak lodge inn at brookville farms |
| Eggspectation in Silver Spring. We love brunch there. It's usually my choice for my Father's Day brunch with my kids (among other times). |
|
Cafe Mosaic in Rockville.
Original Pancake House Rockville or Bethesda or Oriental East in SS (for traditional offerings of Chinese dim sum) |
| Clyde's, founding farmers. Avoid American tap room. Horrible service and tgi Fridays quality food. |
Founding farmers is overpriced, loud and food is not great. Not worth the money. |
| Clyde's |
| OP here. We went to 8407 kitchen bar in Silver Spring. It was fabulous, the service was great, the food was amazing. So glad we tried it! |
Thanks for the Clyde's pr version. Ff is loud but I think we'll priced for what it is, and very good food overall. |
Apparently Tom Sietsma doesn't think too much of it either. 1out of 4 stars. Perhaps you would like to recommend Cheesecake Factory as well. http://www.washingtonpost.com/gog/restaurants/founding-farmers,1153804.html |
Sorry that was 1/2 of a star (poor) |

I view a bad review by the post as a sign that it is a place I want to eat! Outside of his foodie friends, Tom never likes good, simple food. Give him small plates of duck confit from some dude who hiked the Himalayas for 7 years and he will give it 4 stars. For general purpose all around good food (and I would consider brunch a time for good food, good service, and good conversation, not necessarily the greatest of everything) founding farmers delivers.
Of course now that OP threw out 8407 all I want to do is go back there again! |
Please try to expand your horizons a little. There are plenty of places he recommends that are basic restaurants besides duck confit. You actually might see what good food is really like. http://www.washingtonpost.com/gog/search/q,categories_Restaurants,editorialreviews_Reviewed,locations_Maryland,mealtypes_Brunch,searchType_facet,sortSpecifier_EditorsPick.html |
