(4) ~ very good overall brunch & service. Note: Reservations recommended. DRINKS: ** Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso = (4.5) Very Tasty! ** Water (tap) = (4) very good, must be filtered;) * Orange Juice = (3.75) Good FOOD: ** Warm Cinnamon Roll = (4) very good, but needed to be warmer... ** Green Chili Breakfast Burrito (w. side salad) = (4) very good ** Turkey Bacon (side) = (4) very good * Signature Guacamole = (3.75) Good, but too small amount for what you pay...

As always, exceptional (authentic?) welcome and service. Food was excellent. Recommend Winter Squash for vegetarians; salmon was excellent. LOVE the ambience.

Tried taste of the south for brunch on New Years Day. The restaurant is cute, service was outstanding! Our waiter was amazing, I wish I caught his name. Smashed potatoes and shrimp and grits were delicious. Already planing a visit back for dinner :)

Maggiano Chevy Chase was pretty good overall. It’s been a while since we have been but notice an increase in price. Everything was good for the most part. I have an issue with the salad. The Maggiano’s salad which is now close to $17 for the entree portion. The amount of the salad was so underwhelming. A salad doesn’t cost them a lot to make but to charge $17 for it is just crazy. I had to get 2 salads to make a full meal. I did take a little home but for it to be enough for a meal cost me about $34, I could have gotten something else for that much but because I love that salad I got the salad. We had 7 people, each got a meal, I had 2 salads and we ordered 2 appetizers for the table, and 3 iced tea The total bill with tip came to $345. That is crazy for what we got. That’s close to $50 per person. The waiter (Marvin) was attentive, always there asking us if we need anything.

Great Ethiopian food. What more is there to be said?
