    The charmers include a cherry sorbet that smacks of an orchard of fruit in each icy bite, and a warm, blueberry-filled pastry framed with a roasted peach and sweet corn ice cream. Read more

    Smoked Chicken & Seafood Gumbo is the way to go! Made with gulf shrimp, mussels, chopped clams, andouille sausage, okra and tomato. Hearty and delicious!

    Area steakhouses could do themselves a favor by checking out the sides at Black's, where the onion rings are sweet and crisp and the creamed spinach allows the vegetable to shine. Read more

    The Addie's Mussels are some of the best around. Made simply with tomato, shallots, garlic and lemon. You won't be disappointed.

    by far the BEST place to eat in Montgomery County. Visit the bar and cosy up to some freshly shucked oysters and amazing drinks. Don't be shy to order off the Bar Menu...amazing!

    A favorite stand-by in Bethesda with an always-solid menu from chef Jeff Black that is mostly seafood but also has surprises. Here's one: chicken and waffles.

    A great place to eat or catch up with friends during happy hour. You're right across the street from DCs premier salon at 7720. See Diane for amazing cuts, color and styling. KG Salon rocks!

    Chef Jeff Black's Bethesda outpost is a reliable, if not somewhat unexciting eatery. Mussels are always a sure thing here, as they are at his other restaurants in Rockville and the District.

    The kitchen's 12-ounce rib-eye is worthy of a good steakhouse, beefy, tender and striped from a hot grill. Read more

    If you haven't had their Irish Coffee in a few years, order it again. Now the best around - thick dollop of cream with a tasty petite biscotti, great presentation too!
