Hello Betty - North Bethesda

Overall, the food was quite delicious. When we ordered an espresso, it was served in a mug, which was a bit unusual, but they gladly switched it to an espresso cup for us. We found the decor to be really charming and believe it would be even more enjoyable in better weather. We're looking forward to returning in the spring.

We only found reservations through Open Table for 5:30 PM and then again at around 9 PM. My wife and I arrived at 5:30, but the restaurant had no other diners, and it was clear they weren’t prepared for guests. The waiter seemed unfamiliar with the $75 prix fixe NYE menu, and it appeared that the kitchen was as well. The food was served in a confusing order and at different times; my wife received her salad 10 minutes before I did. When my appetizer finally arrived, I only got one oyster, with the rest brought out later. Unfortunately, the food itself was mostly disappointing. My steak was okay, but our salads were drenched in dressing, the shrimp were rubbery and overcooked, and the oysters were excessively salty. They also forgot to bring the 'palate cleanser' until we reminded them, and it came just before dessert. To make matters worse, even the drinks were poorly made, such as a badly mixed Cosmopolitan—though I will give credit to the bartender for trying to fix it. To finish our prix fixe meal, we were supposed to receive a glass of champagne, but we had to ask for that as well. When it finally arrived, it was flat—completely devoid of bubbles. And all of this included an additional 4% food gratuity. Overall, it was a terrible experience, particularly for a New Year’s Eve dinner.

We were celebrating my granddaughter’s birthday with our family, and our server Tatiana was outstanding! The food was incredibly delicious!

This is quickly becoming my new favorite spot! Everyone here is wonderful and the new menu is excellent. I would highly recommend everyone try the new Betty's Wings, they're so flavorful and the cilantro ranch is just...*Chef's Kiss* The roasted forest mushroom flatbread is just as amazing. Just imagine ooey gooey cheese with earthy umami flavors from the mushroom mix with slight tangy/sweetness from the tomatoes! As far as service, Elizabeth the manager, greeted us with smiles and we had some easy flowing conversation before the food came. She made us feel at home and made excellent recommendations off their new menu. Thank you to Hello Betty and team for a wonderful lunch!

Came her for lunch and everything was great! Service, food and drinks were so good. We were lucky enough to have a manager, Casey, stop by and chat with us. After giving us a few suggestions for drinks we ordered the Appalacian smash. Four words: wow. Just get it. Thank you to Casey and team for such an enjoyable meal during the holidays when we weren't able to spend with all of our family members.
