| We're planning to have dinner with former neighbors who will be coming back to town over the holidays. They're a bit older and have fond memories of Old Anglers Inn. I haven't been there in years, but I recall it as having a lovely setting on the river, offering "continental cuisine" that was fine if not memorable, rather formal service and with a kind of retro charm in a 1970s preppy way. Given the occasion, that's fine, but since it's been a while, I'm a bit hesitant to make a reservation. If you've eaten there recently, I'd love to hear about your experience. |

| Yep. Just how you said it. Bit stuff but cozy and sweet with fine food. |

| Opie you sound quite full of yourself. Let your guests enjoy Old Anglers Inn by themselves, and you head on downtown. |

| Thanks to PPs who posted to confirm my recollection, which, as I stated was that it was just fine for this occasion. As far as the last poster, perhaps you missed the nuance that I wanted to be sure the restaurant had not changed significantly for the worse since I haven't been there in many years. But I do love being tagged as Opie -- so sweet! |

| I think it is better than what you say. For a suburban restaurant the food is pretty good. |

| The place is more formal than the food is good. I wish it was more pub-like with better food. |

| I love the formality in a comfortable homey environment. Very romantic. |

| The Irish inn at Glen Echo is better in my opinion. |

| It's got great ambiance, and mediocre, overpriced food. |

| I work in Bethesda and we're planning a retirement lunch for a colleague at the OAI. Twenty-five dollars for a cheeseburger! I'm probably going to suggest another place (like the Irish Inn) to the organizer. |

| The outside patio is lovely and not at all stuffy. The inside is as you describe. I like both areas! |
