Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Gaithersburg

Tabard Inn is simply the best place to go for brunch/ lunch or a romantic date night dinner on a freezing cold winter day. An English style Inn with warm fireplace in the lounge area and many tables in various nooks and crannies of the dining area. Good bar, professional service and good food. We loved it.

The food, service and presentation was fantastic and made for a wonderful experience. My only reservation was the dinning area felt a bit congested, and as a result, felt a bit confined and challenging to hear at times. This aspect was unfortunate to an otherwise great experience.

Our experience here was amazing. Shoutout to our great server Connor. If he isn’t a lead server make him one TODAY ! So cool, so understanding & honestly great energy. I came for Valentine’s Day with my girlfriend. He told us the specials & even gave some recommendations. We both had steak with mash & green beans. If you are thinking about getting the peartini definitely grab you one. It didn’t disappoint. We will be back !

This was our 2nd time visiting this restaurant. Hubby and I went for Valentine's Day. I know they're trying to fit a lot of two-person tables on that day, but it felt awkward to be in the middle of two other couples. It was lovely to be created by a red rose on the table that I can bring home. The service was kind and quick. We received our dishes within 10 minutes. Unfortunately my steak was undercooked. It was corrected immediately, but it just didn't have the wow factor that a $45 fillet should have. Hubby had a burger with fries and said that it tasted nice as well. Definitely better than the average restaurant but he also felt it was missing a wow factor to send it over the top in flavor. The food tasted nice. Definitely better than other restaurants. Like a 4 out of a 5 for taste. We did feel a little rushed to get out with the bill arriving as soon as our meal was over because we were not having dessert. Again, this is probably because it was Valentine's Day. The staff was kind and considerate and nice the entire time though. We would definitely return. But I probably wouldn't get the filet again, because it wasn't quite the quality that it should have been.
