I've probably been to most of the places in Bethesda, so I appreciate the DC recommendations. I will add some of these suggestions to my list.

Places I want to try:  Joe’s Seafood, Vidalia, Ardeo Bardeo, Toki Underground, Ray’s the Steaks, Fish Taco, Hank’s Oyster Bar (Tried the one in Union Market but not Capital Hill), Persimmon, Bistro Provence, Gringos and Mariachis, Black Market Bistro, Cedar.

Here is my unsolicited opinion on the restaurants I know in Bethesda:

Woodmont Grill: Great steaks but $$$, very caloric food, corporate owned mixed experience with service
Blacks: Good, but also somewhat expensive (less so than Woodmont Grill), corporate owned
Mon Ami Gabi: good/very good, but Americanized french food. corporate owned
Food Wine and Co: great bar, good food, somewhat expensive
Jaleo: Good but not great. Americanized tapas. 
Daily Grill: Average
Olazzo: Mediocre, Americanized Italian but well priced
Rock bottom: Awful awful food, beer is OK
Brickside: Awful
Mia's Pizza: Good
Cornucopia (Norfolk Ave): Run by an Italian guy, great sandwiches for a light meal
&pizza: Good and well priced, I was surprised by how good their pizzas are
Wildwood Kitchen (on Democracy): It was great the one time I went there a year ago
Raku: Good, but expensive non-traditional sushi/fushion. 
Satsuma: Good ramen, Good traditional sushi. Affordable.
Nest: Mediocre food. 
Flaxella: They have good Ethiopian food and very affordable ($6 platter). The menu is limited and they aren't open for dinner. 
Guapos: Good margaritas, decent fajitas, everything else no good.
Tara Thai: Mediocre to awful.
Uncle Julios: Awful, overpriced.
Penang: OK Thai.
