Eater DC just reported that Luke’s Lobster, one of NYC’s famous lobster houses, will be opening up their newest location at Bethesda Row this Thursday, June 14! On their menu, you’ll find lobster, shrimp, and crab rolls, along with other goodies such as clam chowder and whoopie pies. They’ll have a large 20-seat outdoor patio, perfect for these summer days. Can’t wait to try it out!
I went into The Queen Bee, a new Greek restaurant in Bethesda Row, for a quick lunch this afternoon. Even though Pastitsio (the menu item that originally led me to The Queen Bee) was removed from the menu, the lamb entree was a deliciously succulent replacement. The lamb, grilled and marinated to near-perfection, was served with a rice and orzo pilaf, a side of lemon and herb oven-baked potatoes, and house-made tzaziki.
This is definitely a restaurant to add to your list if you enjoy homestyle Greek cooking. The recipes have been passed down through generations, and all menu items (down to the dips and sauces) are made in-house.
My lunch was fabulous, and I’ll definitely be back to The Queen Bee for other Greek specialties. See Yelp Reviews here.
