This very well-run bistro on the northern edge of Bethesda succeeds because it makes simple dishes well. For this consistent success, it gets a second star. The short menu is supplemented by a number of daily specials. Regular appetizers include snails in puff pastry, mussels in a seafood broth with a touch of cream, and tuna carpaccio.
Desserts are worth saving room for.
