Best restaurants near me in Brandywine, MD

It doesn’t get much better than Filomena’s - especially for Italian food! Service is excellent the restaurant is adorable… our only complaint is that they cram you in like sardines. If you’re looking for an intimate experience this is not the place for you. I could smell the perfume of the lady sitting next to me on one side and on the other side seven people crammed into a space for four or five max, the one guys chair was basically up against our table. All that said, if you’ve been here, you know to expect your neighbors to basically be in your lap, but the food, service and wine make up for it.

My husband and I had the pleasure of trying La Grande Boucherie DC earlier this week. I must say MOUHSSINE's professionalism and kindness stood out. He was not only highly efficient and knowledgeable, but also made sure we felt welcome and valued. His attentive service and approachable demeanor added an extra touch to the dining experience. It's clear that he genuinely cares about providing excellent service, and I would gladly return knowing that such a dedicated professional is overseeing the operations. Highly recommend!

Four of us met to celebrate a retirement at Ada's and the evening couldn't have been more perfect. We were greeted warmly, and the hostess accommodated our request for a comfortable table where the noise level wouldn't be overwhelming for my 90 YO mother. We were seated at a booth with a gorgeous view of the river, where the noise level was lively but not too much. Our server was friendly and professional, just the right amount of attentive. I had taken a fall on the ice leaving my home, and he kindly had a bag of ice sealed in a take-home bag for me to keep on my injured knee. So off to a great start, and everything just got better from there. The food was delicious. We had the swordfish, crab-stuffed trout, large crab cake with carrots and sweet potatoes as sides. We shared a soufflé for dessert--it was large enough for the four of us. All the portions were generous--two of us ate our fill and left with enough for dinner the next day. I've been to Ada's many times and my guests, none of whom had been before, now have it on their list of Old Town favorites.

This is a tried and true favorite. Took a student who is interning in DC and shel loved it. The place was packed and traffice was terrible so i got there late, bt I asked for them to hold the reservation. The hostesses, down to the wait staff were awesome. High energy - lots of Capital Hill celebs there.

It was a phenomenal experience. What joy! The food, the waitress, the music, and the bathrooms were the bomb!
