Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Kensington

I would have rated the noise level as excellent, but there was a wedding going on upstairs that was extremely loud, and it kind of ruined the ambiance of the quiet jazz lounge feel later in the evening. With that said, the lounge, atmosphere, music, food, service, and coziness were all perfect! We especially appreciated our server Lauren, who was so friendly and attentive. She even reserved us a table, even though they usually do not reserve tables, because we asked for a cozy corner in the lounge to celebrate our wedding and first Thanksgiving weekend as a married couple. She also brought us a celebratory dessert drink, which was delicious. We can't wait to go back, and will definitely take friends and visitors to DC. The manager, Alyshea, was amazing also!

Every time we come to the Bethesda location the experience gets better and better, our brunch today was awesome, shout out to the hostess, she was welcoming and friendly to us, our waiter was awesome . Food and drinks were very good Everything was great! 👍🏻 Will be coming back !

Amazing dining experience, but be prepared to need to hit Taco Bell on your way home. Service was fantastic and the food was amazing, but good lord my toddler eats more. We both left hungry.

We had our Thanksgiving meal at Kingbird at the Watergate Hotel. The food was outstanding with some interesting, and very tasty, additions to the traditional holiday menu. The service as always attenttive and we never felt rushed. This was the best Thanksgiving meal in my memory! Nancy Hicks
