Yes. Definitely more cocktail/passed and/or buffet as opposed to sit down.

I haven't seen it myself but understand that Pinstripes at Pike and Rose has a rooftop area. May be call them to see if there's umbrellas, etc. They probably also have high tops so people can circulate instead of sitting. Thinking you can go 90's with chopped or fruit salads in carry cups and what about a mashed potato bar, mini burgers, mini shakes? Also there is a DC location, which may have same.

Which is neither reasonably priced nor near Bethesda. Well done.

How many people? There's alot of good places in Bethesda to hold a 50th (lots of people seem to be having them).

What do you mean by "reasonably priced"? And are you looking to go with just a significant other, with your nuclear family, or with 10+ people?

I would go to the Inn at Little Washington.

Any recommendations for something reasonably priced - in city or close-in Bethesda.
