- EEdwardWashington, D.C. Area •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThis restaurant is far above the average eatery, despite being part of a small nationwide chain. Every dish we have tried on several visits has been a delight, with excellent seasoning, attractive presentation, and quality ingredients. We drive all the way from NW DC to Rt 28 to meet friends there to eat. Much appreciated is the luncheon menu served from 11 am to 3 pm. It has the same selection as dinner basically, but with smaller (meaning less gigantic) portions and lower prices. As older diners, we find those servings all we can eat. The portions of appetizers are generous - the delicious brussels sprout appetizer is enough for 3-4 people. Also the wines (all Cooper's Hawk brand) are surprisingly good. Join their wine club and a good bottle of red wine is as little as $22.More infoCooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant - Rockville, MDPrice: Moderate• American• Rockville•4.6

- SStevenKey West / Florida Keys •10 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 2, 2025We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Ela Mesa. The authentic Greek food was delicious and paired beautifully with their Greek wine. The restaurant and restrooms were spotless. Our server Wellington was professional and attentive. Prices were a little on the high side but expected for the area. Although we were just passing through the area, we look forward to a return visit in the future.More infoEla Mesa Taste of GreecePrice: Expensive• Greek• Gaithersburg•4.7

The chicken and avocado club was so good, the chicken pot pie a great choice on a cold rainy day and the wine was icing on the cake! Highly recommend!More infoCopper Canyon Grill - GaithersburgPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Gaithersburg•4.5
