"We come to Food & Wine a few times a month and normally love the food and service. We live in the neighborhood and love this place. But- this last visit we found that the service was slow to non existent and the menu had changed to take away personal favorites (like Bacon Mussels) and changed others. Please make the wedge salad the traditional way too.
The food was still great, but with the service so shoddy this one time - we will definitely be back and hope it was just a one off bad day for them."

"We have now been to Food, Wine & Co five times. Everytime the food has been off the charts. It is clear that great care is taken throughout the planning, preparation and delivery of what has become our most consitent dining experience. The fact that it is "consistently great" is icing on the cake. Keep it up!"

"Service was very good, the waitress was very pleasant and helpful. Once we ordered, each dish came out promptly and was nicely presented. Although we did not buy a bottle of wine, the wine list was well thought out with some very good choices. I spoke to Mike Cromartie (the person that put together the wine list) and I complimented his choices. We discussed two Cab Francs on the list, he was kind enough to open a bottle and allowed me to purchase a glass (I was driving so I could only have a glass). Once the check came out we learned that the wine was complimentary (very nice touch). Well before the wine was even a concern we have decided that we would be going back and recommending Food and Wine Co to our friends."

"This restaurant has an inventive menu. We enjoyed our meal and the ambiance. Unfortunately, the service was spotty. We were there for Mother's Day Brunch and the restaurant was crowded, which made it hard to get the attention of the wait staff. All in all, the meals we have had at Food & Wine make it a solid choice in Bethesda."

"Although many diners go for the burgers and raw bar or the casual atmosphere in the bar area, the appetizers have been unusually creative and tasty on our last two visits. I had the grilled octopus on both occasions as well as grilled scallops and a roasted beet salad. All were beautifully presented with unusual garnishes and sauces. I find that the quality of the appetizers raise the food to fine-dining level."

"This was my third time at Food and Wine and Co. Each visit has been a pleasure. It is on my short list of favorites. The service is friendly and helpful, The menu is invariably interesting and well prepared. It tends toward sea food, with oysters and mussels as well as fish, but the pork was excellent and my son, a picky eater, was well satisfied with a plain burger (not on the printed menu). You can do well with the wine list; a broad range of microbrew beers is available on tap and in bottles. I can guarantee that you will see at least one that is unfamiliar."

"The service was pleasant but untrained.....the food selection was limited unless one wanted variations of mussels and $15 plus hamburgers......the noise was too much for anything but a neighborhood bar.....the steak(in the steak salad) was to tough for my guest to eat....my first drink order was not the premium brand (I ordered) when I mentioned this I was served another(right) but about half the quanity of the first....I decided not to ruin the evening ..further...ordered recommend desert..after some time we were told " it is out"...halibut was not good...char was fine....house wine was , at least sav blanc, was not good..seems to be a trendy place and bar was quite busy....good place to have an upscale burger but not fine dining"

"Arrived early for 8:15 pm reservation, weren't seated until 8:35. Four people ordered two starters and four main dishes. Waiter brought starters, one of which was wrong dish. He asked whether he should delay main courses so he could bring correct appetizer. Thinking the dinner was imminent, we said cancel the appetizer and just bring the main dishes. The main dishes showed up at 9:35 pm, more than 30 minutes later, took so long the entire bottle of wine had already been poured and nearly consumed.
The food was actually quite good, but the experience was unpleasant because of the long delay, the loud noise level and the very expensive wine list. The noise level was so high that the waiter admitted he could not hear us half the time.

"The Gourmet burger & Marin. onions (w/ french fries) was the best burger I've ever had. Homemade chips were great with some of the other side dishes,but would have liked to have seen an additional small side dish - beans, cole slaw?? The Halibut was great, but felt the $26 price was too much. I think $22 is more reasonable for the quantity of fish and veggies that you got. If you kept at $26 at least add more veggies or a salad. The Metro drink was excellent, but again the $12 price tag seemed high for the area. I typically pay $8- $9 for a good quality mixed drink. Bonefish has a few standard drinks that are always on the menu for $5 each and they are great because I can afford 2 drinks!"

"I have eaten here many times and highly recommended it to others. One continuing gripe is seating. You can make a special request at the time of reservation, and it is unlikely to be honored. You show up, and that is when you discover something else has trumped your request. Then you will find that some diner's seating preferences will be honored over yours. There is pressure to get people to sit at the bar, even when you say you want the quieter section. I was there to conduct some business with a guest, yet I had a bit of a struggle to get a table away from noise, and this is not the first time.
They need to look at how they conduct reservations if they want to keep the business clientele."

"This place has everything, great food, stellar service, and a spectacular wine list with beyond reasonable prices, but the real find here is their EXTENSIVE craft beer selection, it has to be the largest in Montgomery County! I'm a beer geek and finding a Mecca like this will surly keep me coming back. Our server must have told the GM, Francisco, that we were beer geeks because he stopped by and not only brought us something unique, a smoke IPA to taste, but told us about what would pair well with each of our entrees, and he was absolutely right! Thanks for a great night out! We will be back sooner than later."

"should be the name of the restaurant, as they have a great craft beer list, both on tap and bottles/cans. Every course was delicious (the beet salad, mushroom flatbread, and chocolate bread pudding -- all very yummy!) We are beer geeks, so would have gone sooner if we had known about the beer. Look forward to a return visit."

"overall, good location to meet friends; also near Round House theater so can imagine going back at night. However would go after the play since I'm not sure the service would get one to the play on time. I'd recommend this restaurant , but with that caveat in mind. Firsts are great! Wrap was delicious, chicken fresh."

"This was our second visit and was enjoyable, although the Friday night ambiance was a little frenetic. Had to wait a while for a table despite a reservation but the hostess and team were very nice and it wasn't a big deal. Once seated we received outstanding service despite the place being very busy, and all 4 of us enjoyed a great dinner. My main course, a halibut special, was top notch.
The noise level on a Friday night was very high (we were there on a quiet Tuesday before) but other than that the experience was very good. We will be back."

"Had a very tasty meal, all presented very nicely. Enjoyed a delicious wine I'd never had before...if only I'd written down the name! Our server was very sweet and, after making an error re: dessert, gave it to us on the house (plus a little sorbet for our trouble). Appreciated that."

"I wanted to try this restaurant b/c I travel to Bethesda 4x a year on business, and have a host of favorite restaurants I frequent. Not sure how long this one has been open, but it appeared popular. Very busy at lunch with many suited men eating steaks/meat and talking business, with their ID's hanging from necks. I ordered a lightly battered fish, cannot recall its type, but was grossly disappointed. It was an odd color (greenish?), really tasteless, and in chunks, rather than fillet. I should have gone with a salad. Would not have this on my top 10 list upon return to area. Service was beyond attentive. Priced as one would expect for Bethesda."

"We had a lovely meal here late lunch in the afternoon. Food was delicious. Beer selection was good. Couldn't quite getaway from the fact that it is in the old Uno's on Wisconsin in Bethesda. And then our wood blinds kept slipping every time a truck went by. But very tasty dishes with nice presentation."

"My daughter and I had dinner here on a Wednesday night and the place was packed. The service
was excellent, but not hovering. There is an excellent wine list, flights are available and the selections by the glass are very good. Notable lack of Pinot Grigio by bottle. Please change Nicoise Salad to include hard boiled eggs. Poached turned my stomach. Salmon burger was delish. Restaurant should note the heat factor on this item. Dessert menu
very enticing, but we held our ground.

Also, i greatly appreciated that the waiter explained that a menu choice my 10 year old made might not work out how we thought. he worked out a better choice for my son. Good communication helped to keep everyone happy. Our meals were really good."

"We had requested a quiet table as one in party was severely hearing impaired. Unfortunately, even with that advance notice & explanation, we got a table across from a large party of people who were inebriated & shrieking. Although the manager realized the situation & comped the drinks, the evening was far from pleasant & we will not be returning."

"We enjoyed the menu so much, that we went 2 nights in a row, as there were items on the menu we still wanted to try. For burgers, it was delicious with the right touch of truffle oil and seasoning. The soups were fabulous, flavorful, and artistically presented. The wines by the glass were lovely, both red and white. The salad niciose, was non-traditional, with sashima grade lightly grilled tuna. I will definitely go back to try the mussels and other offering my next time in Bethesda."

"Reservation at 6:30 on a Tuesday evening. Tables were clearly open and we were seated right away. Server was very attentive and informative, but was overly speedy. He would shoot away before we could ask him questions. Only real significant complaint was that he did not ask how a burger should be cooked, we forgot to state and so it came out a little bloody. The Fried Potato Tots, gruyere, spicy ketchup were yummy, but the spicy ketchup was not spicy at all. They need to kick that up a notch. I had the Salmon Burger, scallion, togarashi, miso mayo with house salad as the side. The burger was great and had a spicy kick. The house salad was notably delicious, especially the dressing."

"This was my second dinning experience at this resturant. One time for lunch and one for dinner. I found the food and staff exceptional. The waiter was knowledgeable and not pushy. We had a 2 year old with us and she was easily accommodated with mac and cheese. Entrees were presented perfectly and we wanted for nothing. I introduced some locals to the resturant who will now return again!"

"After a happy lunch at Food Wine and Co. with a friend, I brought my college son and husband back on a Friday night. The carrot-ginger soup, beet salad, the specialty burgers, and the rosemary chips are excellent. So was the strawberrry sundae dessert. We very much appreciated the relatively moderate price range for meals that were creatively prepared and tasty on every level. Noise level was energetic but we could easily hold a conversation, and service was attentive."

"Had dinner with a few friends, and we all really enjoyed the place - the food and the service were fantastic!
Started with Salmon Tartar, Trio of oysters, and fried potato balls. The Trio of oysters was great - they had prepared 3 sauces for the oysters - very unique & fresh.
For our entrees, the steak was perfect, the curry mussels was amazing, and the rockfish was perfect. Though each dish could have served 1.5 meals, we all polished our plates.
Beware of the desserts as they are also large & delicious - Chocolate lava cake, chocolate bread pudding, and key lime pie.
Oh yeah, the beer and wine were pretty good, too."
