There is one table outside in the bright sun. It was worth it. They should get an umbrella however. All the seafood was fantastic as well as good prices on yummy white wine to accompany the dinner. The server was very helpful with his suggestions. We will return.

I had the Crab soup, it was good but had a little too much old bay seasoning. The filet mignon satay was delish! Grilled shrimp was also great! The fried calamari was crispy, fresh and melts in your mouth! I’d probably ad more breading, but that’s me. The crepe brûlée was good as well. The owners even sent me a follow up email the next day! What a great place in local Bethesda Maryland
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it... see you next time and be safe!
Good food but not best service.
Easy parking
In appetizer Cesar salad and mushroom salad were really good.
In main course chicken piccata was the best.
In dessert bread pudding was our favorite!
As for service our waitress got us food but never came back to check on us. She walked by many times but never stopped to ask if we need anything like water or fork or napkin etc.
I’m not sure some restaurants look beyond their own needs when they consider how reservations work. When you reserve a spot for Valentine’s day as a customer, a lot of work goes into that event. Scheduling, synchronizing, persuading, expecting, prioritizing. But Chef Tony’s doesn’t seem to get that. And it’s disrespectful. We showed up on time for a 5:45pm reservation on 2/14 and didn’t get out of there until 9:00pm. Not by choice. We were served cold entrees, which were reheated to dried out leftovers. We had servers visit our table 6 times with the wrong order. We waited 45min for dessert. All while impatient patrons looked over shoulders waiting to be seated. This was bad. Real bad. And the food? Diner-style pablum. Nope, not fresh, not even good. At $69 per person, this was awful. Ruined our evening. This after being pestered during a work day to confirm our reservation by phone. Not sure I’ve ever seen such a mess in Bethesda, ever. I wouldn’t expect more on a regular non-holiday. We won’t return.
I can understand your frustration, and apologize for the experience. I can only apologize at this point, but assure you that we do "get it" overall, and have served many successfully. Your table sounds like some major things went wrong.
If you can email me (cheftony@cheftonysbethesda.com) I'd like to find out about your table specifically and try my best to make it right.
Valentines among other holidays can put some pressure on our systems, and we had some issues for sure.
I hope you can see it to email me and we'll make it as right as we can..thank you for your communication. We take it to heart and as a famly run restaurant, do our very best to make our guests happy.
Chef Tony Marciante
Our family lives in Virginia near D.C. and found a great looking Groupon deal at Chef Tony's in Bethesda, Maryland. The food and service was outstanding and we will be back again for some of the best Italian food in the D.C. area. Highly recommended.
Thank you! Really appreciate... Chef here.
