Great spot for Ethiopian in Bethesda. Food is top notch. Tef injera available upon request. Presentation is a little non traditional, asfood is on individual plates by default, but they will do a share plate if you ask. A gem just outside of Bethesda Row.

This was my first visit to this restaurant. I believe it was fashioned after a small chain of Parisian bistrots called Le Relais de entrecote. The format is exactly the same. Having eaten in the Parisian version several dozen times I was curious how this would compare. They did well. I thought Medium Rare’s beef was exceptionally good and it came out exactly as I ordered it. We split a piece of Carrot cake for dessert, it’s too much for one person. It was seriously good. There was an appropriate selection of wines by the glass and considering this was the People’s Republic of Montgomery County the wine price was reasonable. The service was friendly, competent and attentive. The overall pricing was not inexpensive but considering all you get I found it to be a bargain. We will be back!
