Woodmont Grill

We came here for a late night dinner around 8pm on a Tuesday night however we called ahead to see if they had any tables open at the time and they said they didn't have any available seats until 9pm but we could sit at the bar for full service. At first we debated if we wanted to do that for a while before coming in. But when we did (we never mentioned we called ahead when we walked in) the bar was completely full and they had a lot of empty seats in the dining room which I thought was strange as it contradicted what the host mentioned on the phone (I'm guessing because of reservations? But the dining room was pretty much almost empty except for a couple tables) The host ended up seating us right away in the dining room even though we didn't have a reservation though. We ended up having the Brussel sprout as an appetizer, which I felt could have cooked or roasted a bit more as I like them to be a little more crispy. The sauce they paired with it was pretty good and we ended up keeping it. We also got the Caesar salad with the fried oysters, which was pretty good but it wasn't anything special just like any traditional Caesar salad. The oysters were a nice touch as they tasted pretty fresh and I would recommend trying it. The barbecue ribs (which we ended up getting since they were out of crab cakes) were very good alternative as the meat was super tender and literally just fell off the bone. It had a nice barbecue with a subtle smokey flavor to it. The last entree we got was the Hawaiian rib-eye and this was my one of my favorite dishes from the night. The sauce was semi sweet with the subtle pineapple flavor from the marinade and it was cooked perfectly (median rare) and super tender and easy to cut into, which is often not the case compared to most places I've been to. My second favorite dish was actually a side which was the cream corn, which I was hesitant to get at first but the server was actually the one who recommended and I'm so glad I listened and paired really well with our entrees. Service was fantastic, our waitress was super helpful in selling us on the specials for that night and in recommending any dishes for us to try. They were super attentive in making sure to check up on us frequently throughout our meal, and making sure our water glasses were never empty. 10/10 service as we never had to flag anyone down for anything and made sure we were happy throughout our whole meal. Personally, even though I thought the food was pretty good and I loved the service here, the price of the food just doesn't make it seem worth it or anything special to me to want to come back or recommend it for others as an absolute must try place. There wasn't anything overly special about the food that could make me justify coming back to spend $50-60 on a steak but it was definitely a nice experience.

Great food but service leaves something to be desired. There is a clear and apparent lack of organization in regards to bar seating as it was evident that anyone could make their way to the bar and that putting a name in is completely arbitrary. Wasn't worth raising a concern. Was told 15 mins. Waited 35. They were busy. It is what it is.What is a bit confusing is serving an entree with an empty ramekin when requesting for creamy horseradish on the side.Why not serve the food with all of the items requested when ordering? It was just a but annoying having to follow up with the waitstaff after the food had been brought to the table obviously missing an item. Server offered no explanation that is on the way. Manage your patrons expectations. I would recommend giving realistic wait times and communicating if there is an item that requires more prep time. Make it easy on your patrons. The fact that we were left to have to follow up on our dish made this experience less than ideal.

It's been in MD for a while but decided to finally pay a visit after seeing it go viral online!Had 7:45 reservations but it was a busy Friday night and we ended up getting seated at ~8:15. Management was kind enough to comp an app for us which was much appreciated. Apps: Decided to give the sushi a try but knew it was a red flag when I could tell the rice was not seasoned at all! (No rice vinegar, 0 flavor) The tuna in the tuna avocado was fresh but stick to your local sushi restaurant instead and skip the hefty price tag for a basic roll. Also got the spinach artichoke dip. For how much people raved about it, it was good but nothing crazy different. Mains: Had to get the French dip and crispy chicken sandwich! Both were tasty, I liked how warm the au jus stayed in the little tea pot. We had spicy mayo and house seasoning to accompany our fries- special ingredient in the mayo was sesame oil which was interesting.Overall, vibe is great for a night out. Food is fine, would be interested in trying other menu items

I remembered Woodmont as a diner, now it is Woodmont Grill. The menu did not have a lot of options, it had Sushi, burgers, steaks, crabcakes; etc.. Because the options were limited i ordered a chicken sandwich (I don't normally eat sandwiches), which was crispy, flavorful but the ratio of chicken was 3 to 1 buns to chicken. The straws fries were super crispy and perfectly salted. Waitstaffs were nice and the place was cleaned, cozy. I didn't like the note on the menu where it said: "when you are done eating please leave we need the table for other customers". We were four women who get together maybe once in four or five months; not a place to sit around and catch up. We left within an hour and half.

I had to knock off some stars as they changed their shoestring fries and no more off the menu chicken fingers! And no more lemonade. Talking about three strikes especially if you have a child and that's all they want. What the heck man. And where is their club sandwich?Houston's Hawaiian thankfully is still on the menu and can be ordered during lunch. It's the best dish here imo, which my wife and my sis-in-law ordered. I was craving prime rib sandwich which did not disappoint, with the exception of the fries. Please bring back the shoestring fries! I like the ambiance of this place but the lack of tables seating more than 4 people is a letdown. The party in front of us was quite disappointed they had to sit at the bar counter to seat 5 people. Not a good place to go for large parties!Our server was very nice and no complaints about service. They even have hot towels by request, which was a nice touch. They finally do accept reservations on their website which is a plus too.

I was craving some delicious sushi, so we stopped by Woodmont Grill and sat at the bar. We ordered two jackrabbits and rolls. The Osaka style pressed sushi was so delicious, my new favorite item. The entres portions were huge, I couldn't finish my salad! The ribs were delicious as always, although the fries were overcooked but their honey mustard is to die for. The bartender was really nice and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Overall, the atmosphere was great and had a great time together!

We were here for an early dinner and drinks. First of all our server Jackie was very sweet, smiling all the time. Very pleasant always asking what we need.We ordered a few things since .it was supposed to be hapoy hour turned dinner. It was good the cheeseburger was great. We asked to be cut into four since it was huge. And she kinda forgot to let the kitchen know or maybe it was overlooked.The ribs were good and the salad accompanying it.We loved the salad and the fries.We had bread in the beginning and i didn't realized that it was not free like the ones they give in other restaurants as a free appetizer. It was $8.00 but i guess inflation or maybe they were very fancy.Ambiance was nice. Calm and not too noisy.The prices were a bit steep but then again we were dining at Downtown Bethesda so thats to be expected

Absolutely love this place. No idea why it doesn't have higher ratings.Pricey - yes, but very much worth it!Love the Hawaiian steak, burger, sushi. Great beers on tap. Great date night spot. Big cozy booths and intimate setting. Take your partner here if you're looking to treat them to something nice!Highly recommend.

After a recent shopping trip to Bethesda Row, we stopped in Woodmont Grill as a local recommended it. While there were some great aspects to our experience, we left feeling somewhat disappointed.First, the parking situation was fantastic! There was ample space in the parking garage across the street It was incredibly convenient, especially in a busy area where parking can often be a hassle. It's a definite perk for anyone driving to the restaurant.The ambiance was another highlight. The interior was beautifully designed, with cozy lighting and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that set the perfect tone for a meal out. It felt stylish without being pretentious, creating a lovely place to relax and enjoy your food.However, what really brought my experience down was the service. The bar staff, unfortunately, were rude and inattentive. When we arrived, we went to the bar and noticed a couple finishing their dinner. When sat in their seats when they left but were quickly told that the bar seats were on a wait and we would have to get up. The bartender put our names on a "list" and we asked if we could get a drink while we wait. She said - I'll be with you when I can. We stood near the bar for a good 20 minutes while she proceeded to get drinks for the businessmen around us. When we were finally sat, she placed the menus in front of us and didn't say a word. We had to ask for water even though everyone around us was given water when they sat down. When asked if we were ready to order, we replied yes and she said "what". As women, we felt completely ignored at times, and when we did receive attention, it was brief, impersonal and rude. We were made to feel like an afterthought, and it seemed as though the bartender wasn't particularly concerned with making sure we had a pleasant dining experience. This was especially disappointing considering the otherwise great environment of the restaurant.The food was okay. We had sushi and a salad. The food took so long that we actually thought she might have forgotten to put it out order.While I loved the parking and the ambiance, the lack of respectful and considerate service has made me hesitant to return. Hopefully, the management takes note and works on improving staff interactions to make this place as enjoyable as it should be.

The fried oysters are the best in area. The servers are attentive. Ambiance includes credit card hold. Let me explain. The rub is this restaurant has decided to require reservations with ur credit card holding it. Otherwise you wait 30 plus minutes for a table or eat at the bar. The bar wants to start a tab by physically holding ur debit or credit card. Their rationale--to assist the cashless paying system won't cause issues when time to pay and not being stiffed by customers.With so many fraud issues with debit credit cards, this makes the customer at more risk to reduce their risk.So I will spend my money elsewhere.
