After reading many of the reviews I had great expectations for this restaurant and was happy with the experience but by no means overwhelmed. The building is a little bleak from the outside but the interior is pleasant. The menu is well designed and offers matched wines for each course which adds to the experience. The starters were good but... more

Ate here during the Bethesda Restaurant week. $30 for 3 courses. Was absolutely fabulous - the soups, salads and entree's were unique and the combination of flavors was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to come back here for another scrumptious meal! more

Bethesda has a number of very good places to eat but Grapeseed combines excellent food with paired wines and strong service. If you have the time and an interest in creative food, the tasting menu is great. If you want more control of your dinner choice, the menu has many good items and always suggests good wines for each item.... more

This place is just great. It's grown substantially over the last 4 years, so if you haven't tried since it expanded, please do yourself and your taste buds a favor and go back. The menu shifts around bit, but everything I've had here has been great and I highly recommend the Filet or the Scallops if you are in mood... more

We had reservations for another nearby restaurant, but instead wandered into Grapeseed for a fantastic meal of simple, but gourmet food. The quality of the meal and wine list belied the small space and unassuming staff. Service was excellent. We were in town for the Inauguration and wanted a filling, soothing ending to a day spent in crowds and security... more

A real gem. more
