Range is fine during the week. Very casual, and the shared plates thing makes it more so. Exciting news is that LunchBox is opening downstaris.

Otherwise Indique Heights, Lia's, Meiwah and Rosa Mexicano are all favorites.

Is Le Chat Noir ok for family dining (older kids) or more of date night place?

Thanks PP for the feedback on Arucola.

Arucola is fine, a tad overpriced for a neighborhood restaurant but it does have a neighborhood feel and the food is fine, not great, I would say similar to Lia's over off Wisconsin though I prefer Arucola. Blue 44, near Arucola's, is casual and generally good. Meiwah is ok but nothing special in my book, and for most of the other places listed, you might as well drive, or take the subway, to Bethesda instead where there is a lot. Or go the other way to Le Chat Noir for traditional French.

How is Arucola? Always drive past and wonder...

lia's, clydes, chadwicks, maggianos, pf changs, meiwah

Not sure if Bucks and Terasol are considered this area, but we love both of them and would love to discover similar small, unique dining spots in the area.

Lia's, Chadwicks, Rosa Mexicana, Cheesecake Factory, Clydes, Sushiko, Potomac Pizza, Indique Heights, PF Changs.

I love it! It's great Chinese Food. Up there with the best I've ever had.

I'm not Chinese though.

Sorry, please ignore the question about Meiwa...I misread the address.

Anyone have a review of Meiwah?
