[quote=Anonymous]Black's is very nice--a level above most of Bethesda.  
I haven't been to the Vino Volo yet, but I think the ones in the airports are great--one in a neighborhood that's an actual place has to be even better.  I'd think about doing the drinks there if you're wine people.
The bar at Mon Ami Gabi is tiny, crowded and loud.  Not where I'd do drinks unless I was going to drink at a patio table outside.  I love their food, though.  The steak frites are exactly what steak frites should be.  Good soups and salads, good wine, excellent service.  It's a chain but so what--it's a good one.  
Jaleo is loud and crowded, but good.  Could be good for drinks and tapas appetizers, then a real dinner somewhere else.

The thing about Black's is it's north of Old Georgetown--in the land of 400 bars and restaurants, every one of them mediocre.  (Except Black's, Houston's (or is it Woodmont Grill now?), and Freddy's Lobster & Clam Shack, which are good.)  You can walk there from down near Bethesda Row, but it's a slightly long walk, and there's sort of a no-man's-land in between.

Food & Wine gets good reviews but I haven't been so I can't say.  It's on Wisconsin, not as nice a walking area as the Bethesda Ave./Bethesda Row area (though close, just a couple of blocks away).  [/quote]
