4935 And Kitchen - Bethesda

Second visit. Food continues to be excellent. Very picky companion and he said this ups the ante for my birthday. He loved it. Was a bar party and that impacted the noise level. Though definitely recommend this place.

Beautiful, tasty food but too noisy for us. There were loud private parties nearby.

Good food. Tomahawk steak was excellent... but a tad on the rare side (ordered medium rare; didn't have to send it back, but it was rarer than expected). Great service. Ambiance was not cozy restaurant seems to be in limbo in deciding whether it wants to be a hip loud cocktail bar or haute cuisine eatery. Next time we'll try Duck Duck Goose down the street (same owner).

One of my favorites! The chicken taco appetizer was the best. We ordered another.

Creative American menu enhanced with Indian and French influence, very tasty. Portions large. Good wine selection. Service very good. All those, plus the atmosphere--blue lighting, tables separated by curtains of chains of small steel marbles, piped in music--made for a really enjoyable classy early evening dinner until . . . . the jazz band and songstress came in, set up, and started to play. Nice jazzy music but way too loud for the size of the room and for an early midweek dinner. At our table for 4, which was a reasonable distance from the band, we could no longer hear each other unless we yelled, while the other diners at all the other tables found themselves in the same boat and had to yell to each other to be heard as well. We left immediately after finishing our meals and much earlier than we had intended. As a bar scene and on the weekends or even after 8 pm on week nights maybe that all comes together well. But for early dinner at 6 pm it makes for a short evening.
