Ambrosia Grille

Ambrosia Grille, web site, used to be at 1765 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD, now at 802 Hungerford Drive, Rockville, MD, 301-251-5816 (Metro Trip Planner - opens in new window) [WaPo | City Paper | food-plan | openlist]

Athenian Plaka, 7833 Woodmont Avenue, Bethesda, MD, 301-986-1337 (Metro Trip Planner - opens in new window) [Bethesda Magazine | Washingtonian | WaPo | City Paper | openlist | Yelp]
