Best Historic Restaurants in Friendship Heights

We were greeted with a big smile at the front stand and promptly seated. This vibrant spot featured fresh, well-prepared sushi and an array of American and Italian selections. Every dish we selected was excellent. Though the place was packed and the noise level was predictably high, I had requested a quiet table when reserving and we were seated in a private booth complete with a door and coat hooks - the closest thing to our own dining room. The star of the evening was was our server Brian S. He was cheerful, informative, professional, welcoming, and everything one wants to insure a good experience when dining out. Kudos to The Hamilton - everyone got everything right!

A holiday dinner with good friends was wonderful ... food wine service! But halfway through the meal a large party of 8 already lit with "cheer" was sat next to us in one of Tabard's smaller rooms and we could no longer hear each other. So we left before dessert. I realize that restaurants can't predict their patrons' behavior but in this instance re had to exit through a nearby small room which was empty and had a table that would have accommodated the group. Too bad!

Once again, Old Ebbitt Grill was great! Even though crowded due to Xmas, they were super organized and handled reservations well. The food, steak frites, stead salad, and bowl were perfect and the brownie sundae couldn't have been better. Our server Alexa made it even more fun with her efficiency and adept handling of the many things going around us.

From the moment we walked in, every one was welcoming. The atmosphere was relaxed with an old world feel. Our server Lindsay had great insights into the menu. The tuna crudo was fresh and not too spicy. Beets are my favorite and they were paired nicely with the melt in your mouth burrata. First time trying rockfish and the flavor was light with a flaky texture. My companion commented the duck breast was flavorful and tender. The drinks were spot on. The bananas foster was incredibly delectable. Not overly sweet. I am looking forward to coming back.

Chez Billy Sud is a fantastic place to enjoy top shelf flavors. Very well done ladies and gentlemen....very well done!
