Persimmon - Chevy Chase

Zaki and Said, along with the Chef took this restaurant over and it just gets better and better (if that's possible). My husband, Aldo, and I absolutely love this place!! The entire staff is so welcoming smiles/hugs at the door when we step in... The food is amazing EVERYTHING and there's a warm atmosphere to boot. We often go for date night, we've celebrated birthdays and we've brought friends and family because we KNOW it will never disappoint. A+ for this restaurant. I highly recommend it. Can you tell?!!

Amazing warm staff with hospitality that takes over as much as the food! If you are looking for a neighborhood local vibe with the best tuna tar tar and beyond you must try it out ! Be prepared for a night full of laughter and a staff that truly makes you feel at home !

Thank you Said zAki for the birthday cake. They are so nice and helpful. The food is very delicious . I would say the best place in Bethesda to have a quality food! Very professional with warm welcoming staff! I will definitely be back with my friends!

This is literally my favorite restaurant in Bethesda hands down! I have been coming here for years! The food is not only delicious but consistent. It is nice to see that new management is not trying to change the old tried and true menu but instead enhance it with new dishes and new specials. You can't go wrong with the quaint atmosphere here. You can stop in for a quick drink or have friends and family for an intimate dinner. Zaki, Said and Elmy are the ultimate team!

My favorite restaurant in the DC Bethesda Area!!! The food, service, ambiance and crowd never disappoints. All this at a truly reasonable price too. I adore that the staff goes out of their way to do special requests with a smile. I often see some if the same people Because they have such a loyal following in the area. Their crab cakes, rib eye and filet mignon beat Capital Grill every day of the week and at a better price. I promise if you give it a try you'll be hooked too!!!
