Best American Restaurants in Kensington

We had a great dinner at The Salt Line. The selection of raw oysters was great. Our party of 5 ordered a variety of dishes. Our favorites were the Parker house rolls, crab dip, baked cod, and hamachi crudo. Overall, everything was delicious, including the drinks. The service was kind and friendly. A special thanks to Ji, our server. Thank you for a very enjoyable evening!

We are "regulars" at Clyde's Tower Oaks Lodge. We like the variety on the menu and quality of the food, the really excellent service, and the ambiance especially in "The Great Room' which is an authentic Adirondack lodge moved to Maryland. Favorites on the menu include the Icelandic Cod, the Chicken #1 Sandwich, burgers, and their chili (which combined with a side salad is a full meal). Rotating items on the menu which are also great include the French dip sandwich, anything with crabmeat, and various tacos. Their take on a cob salad (linear instead of round) is delicious.

I decided to be funny and come in with Rudolph, the red nose, reindeer hat to try to bring some chair in and the staff were amazing. We were greeted at the hostess stand by a great team requested Connor as we had had him a few times before it is an excellent service. I highly recommend him. Thanks for a memorable evening.

We enjoyed a 3 hour birthday luncheon for party of 6 on a very rainy weekday. The service was friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. We had appetizers, entrees, and several desserts. We made the meal family style and the staff was very accommodating bringing extra plates and silverware. The food was excellent. The Baby back ribs were a standout among the entrees as well as the Cobb Salad. All the appetizer and desserts were delicious. Although, it is Xmas season, not a standout Xmas ambiance, however it still lovely California, airy feel. We’ve loved Summer House since their opening several years ago, they have been consistent with high quality food and well trained staff. Always solid choice in Pike & Rose neighborhood.

It was my first time at Silver. We came to celebrate a birthday and had a wonderful time. Our server, Will, was fabulous. He was friendly and had great recommendations. All of the food was delicious (we all raved about the lamb meatball appetizer and the brownie/pistachio mousse brownie dessert) and the ambiance was perfect for a ladies lunch birthday celebration. We will definitely be back!
