"I was so looking forward to dinning here after reading the reviews. It must have been an off night because the food was subpar at best. Started with the lobster appetizer, it was good. For the entries my wife ordered the diver scallops, the were raw in the middle. No flavor, with very little sear on the scallops. I ordered the ribeye medium rare with Alaskan king crab ontop. The king crab had a strong fishy taste and so did the pieces of stake i tried. Told the server and he took plate back to the kitchen. He came back and explained the chief said it could be the brine that caused the fishy taste. When is king crab or and crab meat soaked in brine? So the stake was rare, not medium rare. I can eat rare but the stake was tough and no flavor. So a total disappointment with the food. The best part of the evening were the 3 servers that took care of us. Outstanding to Scott and team. For a place that is known for their steaks, this Monday night was a failure. For $250 meal and $50 dollar tip one should expect perfection at that price."

"Let's begin with what was good..... the steak, that's where it begins and ends. The atmosphere is old and worn with hideous decorations. The wine was sub par, the Cajun calamari was overcooked and came out so fast it must've been prepared way beforeand then threw in the fryer to warm it. We sent it back. The cream of spinach was like wall paper paste. And worst of all therack of lamb (suppose to be med rare) was med well and had absolutely no flavor. Our waiter was nice enough, but we asked for ataste of wi e and got a full glass. He also seemed to be in a rush all the time, yet the restaurant was almost empty. Thegentlemen from the kitchen who served the food looked miserable. I truly don't understand how they are still in business andgetting good reviews at these prices! Unfortunately, we also sat next to a table of a family with three kids and grandparentswho thought it was a playground."

"Steven Libby Bollich had made reservations a week in advance. The service was great and the server(s) knowledgeable in all facets. The food was very well prepared and the portions satisfying. We had an issue (known to Jackson's by previous complaints as admitted by management) of a serving buffet/storage facility for glassware, beer, and utensils among other sorts of table preparation items. Our table was placed right next to all the clanging of noise as servers did their job. We complained twice and received apology etc. We spoke with management about the issue and made note of extra seating that was not near all the noise. We were not compensated or moved to a different table. All in all, we had a good time, as we are truly happy folks (most of the time)"

"I have never written a negative review for anything but I think I have to after having eaten here tonight. We hadn't been to Frank's in over 10 years and, before tonight, we remember it being of good quality. We wanted some good steaks tonight, so we went there.Well our experience was not really good at all. First, no one was available when we walked in to seat us. The bartender saw that we walked in and ignored us. There were only one or two other tables seated (it was only around 4pm when we got in there . One of us tried to find someone to seat us, and we did and then we were promptly seated in a completely empty section (which was fine .The waiter, who seemed most preoccupied in being attentive to the table of women who were there without men, really ignored us most of the time, other than the requisite initial drink and food orders.We had to flag him down two times by getting two other people to help us find him (for another drink one time, and to get the check the 2nd time . He never came over to ask how the food was after it came out (and mine was undercooked, but I learned years ago from people I know who work in restaurants that you NEVER return your food in even fancy places! Some members of the staff in a lot of places have a field day with your food when you do! .When we asked for the check, he never even asked if we wanted dessert (and we did! . He was way too preoccupied with the few female patrons at their tables (I believe there were 2 other seated tables .The food the garlic steak had little to no garlic taste. Same thing with the garlic spinach. Surprising, when they bill that the garlic is a big part of the meal. The food wasn't bad it just was uh and certainly not of the quality that warrants a $225.00 check for two people.Usually, we have a good experience at any restaurant we go to. We felt it was important to note this. It might just have been an off time and the waiter would probably have more success on dating apps than trying to flirt with the women in the place who aren't with men."

"Having a drink at the bar before we dined, the bartender seemed frazzled, took a long time to greet us, and failed to garnish our drinks correctly. When we checked in with the host, they had us wait, even though we had checked in 20 minutes prior, before going to the bar. The person who brought water was asked to bring lemon and never did. Thankfully, our server, George, was excellent! George made sure we had food and beverages continuously flowing throughout the meal, ensured we have a appropriate silverware, and cleared our table as necessary The food overall was very good, but not as great as we expected. The most memorable item on the menu was the warm butter cake amazing! "

"This place is great. It’s expensive but they have the best fish taco in the city. I’m looking into trying the other locations because this place is fancy and the others are more casual. The margs are delicious, especially the spicy cucumber. And the service is really great and attentive. It’s a fancy Mexican midtown spot that really caters to executives. Decor is wacky though and I love that. It appears their taquerias are more on the funky side so that makes sense that they wanted to pull in that side of their business model. 11/10."

"Utopia has been in the neighborhood for as long as I can remember. A go to diner for many and a home away from home for some in the neighborhood. The food wasn’t bad, the prices are well aligned with what you can expect from the neighborhood and the service was great. Overall it’s fair to say Utopia is worth a try if you enjoy breakfast at anytime of the day !!!"

"It's been a while since my last visit to this restaurant. I had a craving for garlic shrimp, and I remembered how delicious it was last time I was here, which was about 30 years ago. The service was fast and the shrimp was just as tasty as I remembered."

"Oh, boy. Where should I begin? Let's start with a positive. The place is nice. Not a great one, but pleasant enough, all considered. There's a couple of sitting areas inside, a bar and a large outside tent, thanks to Covid. Problem is that it'ssupposed to be a restaurant and not just a lounge. Which brings me to their food. It is horrendously bad. One would think thatit's virtually impossible to ruin shrimp and grits, right? Wrong. The three unpeeled, overcooked and oversalted shrimps arrivedaccompanied by equally terrible mash. A friend had what was supposed to be a vegetable curry. What arrived was borderlineinedible. Starters were just OK. I could continue but, in short, this place is awful. Never again."

"This was our first time visiting the restaurant. We arrived at 8:31pm and found no one at the host/hostess desk, with no other customers waiting to be seated. We were finally seated at around 8:37pm, but unfortunately, no one took our drink order or even acknowledged us. We ended up leaving at 8:58pm due to the lack of service."

"I've been to Mon Ami Gabi in Reston many times, mainly for business meetings. I always order the Steak Fritte Classique. Unfortunately, this time the food was subpar. The steak tasted like it had been cooked in old butter or a dirty grill. There was a noticeable degradation in the quality of the food since the last time I was there. Our waitress was nice and attentive, but made a mistake splitting the check 3-ways. When the manager tried to fix it, he also made a mistake and brought the wrong check. Without going into too many details, the interactions with the manager were digusting. He was a slime and very condescending. He blamed the poor waitress, which showed horrible leadership on his side. As a manager, you never blame a team member and always have your team's back! We pointed this out to him. We also pointed out to him that not once did he apologize. Needless to say he tainted our experience."

"It is unfortunate to see the decline in quality and service at this longtime Bethesda establishment. The last few meals have been disappointing, and it appears they have reached their lowest point. It is a positive development that they are closing this week for remodeling, although it seems like a mistake as the ambiance was the only redeeming quality of the restaurant. Hopefully, the renovation will allow them to start fresh with improved kitchen operations, service, and management. If not, it may be worth taking a short trip on the metro into DC for better food and a superior dining experience at a similar price."

"I left the restaurant still hungry due to the small portion sizes. While the atmosphere was upscale, the flavors were lacking. The lamb chops were overcooked and quite bland—they looked appealing but didn’t justify the cost. On a positive note, the mac and cheese was excellent. My mom used to say, "You can't eat ambiance.""

"I recently had the best meal at this restaurant! I tried the shrimp stuffed with crab served with risotto, and it was amazing. I will definitely be coming back for this dish - it's the best I've ever had! To start, I had the fresh, chilled lump crab meat, which was superb. Although they don't have a drink list or specialty drinks, they do have a full bar. However, the food is definitely the star here. The meal was for dinner and the price per person was $50–100. The food, service, and atmosphere all scored a perfect 5. There is plenty of parking available, with options for free parking in the lot."

"We were celebrating our grown daughter’s birthday with her sister and the evening was perfect. Our daughter loves French food and the Paris Bistro did not disappoint. The food, the service, the ambience were all wonderful. Everyone on the staff went out of their way to make the evening special and memorable. We were visiting from out of town but will definitely return when we are next in the Philadelphia area. Bob and Diane Kramer"

"I visited the restaurant for a second time when it opened at 11am. The lady who attended to me was extremely nice and friendly. I ordered a box of food to take to my doctor's office. Although they were a bit behind schedule, I received my fresh, succulent, and delicious meal in just 15 minutes. My number one favorite is the brown butter doughnut, which was heavenly. I also tried the revamped guava doughnut, which had a delicious guava cream center and cookie crumble that added the perfect texture. It struck the perfect balance of sweetness. This is definitely my favorite donut shop in Miami. After trying them again, I realized that the size of the donuts is perfect as it is, so I retract my previous suggestion to make them bigger."

"We waited for more than two hours and ten minutes and never received our food. The chef fell ill in the kitchen and left. It was clear that he was the only one cooking. The owner tried to cook after the chef left, but they could not give us a definite time for when our food would be ready. As a result, four tables ended up leaving. This happened during a Valentine's Day celebration. They didn't even top off our salads or drinks. The service has been declining ever since the new owner took over the restaurant. Needless to say, we will not be coming back!"

"Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. We had to send our food back twice. After waiting 40 minutes for our main course, we alerted our server, and the food arrived within 5 minutes. However, the burger was undercooked and needed to be returned. When it came back, only one side had been grilled, resulting in a burnt side and the other side barely cooked. It was, without a doubt, the worst burger we have ever had. Additionally, the Caesar salad lacked Caesar dressing and was made with radicchio, making it quite bitter. Our server never returned to check on us; instead, someone else brought our bill. There was no adjustment made for the mistakes, and we ended up leaving after only taking a bite of the burger. Overall, we were unable to finish any of our orders due to the poor quality of the food."

"Delicious, hot and great quality. We ordered a basic pancake meal with, eggs, bacon, hash browns, toast, and a veggie skillet. The pancakes are not pictured because they came out later, but they were yummy, the batter was good, and the pancakes were fluffy. The pancakes here are dense, so be aware that you may not finish them."

"I have had many a memorable meal here, so when friends were coming into town and staying near, I thought that this would be a great place. I had not been to Pound Pence in a number of years. While the ambiance was nice enough (although the music was a little loud when we first arrived , the food wasn't spectacular. The the tuna nicoise that I had was overcooked (not my requested medium rare, but, rather, medium and a little tough and overdressed. (Note to self: Ask for the dressing to be on the side. I did not ask about my friends' meals, although they didn't say anything about it either way."
