Question

-preferably that has outside seating

-in bethesda?

-good food

-a good restaurant to go to for before a movie

Answer 1

Not sure if they have outside seating but the Austin Grill is good.

Try sending in a question to Tom Sietsema's Wednesday online chat.  He's the food critic for the Washington Post.

Answer 2

Benihana is always good, but it does not have outdoor seating. Hibatchi is made for groups of people, and it is a fun experience, so it's a promise that it will get you pumped up before a movie.

My favorite is a great restaurant called Athenian Plaka. There IS outdooor seating and they treat you as if you are old family. Very accommodating for larger groups. MUST get baklava for dessert.
