    Overall great dining experience. I was surprised we had to wait a while to pay our bill in the middle of a weekday. Otherwise, everything was great.

    Persimmon continues to be one of our go-to restaurants whenever we are in the mood to drive into Bethesda. It consistently produces excellent dinners. On our recent visit the four of us had two bouillabaisse dinners, the roast duck breast and the roast chicken. al. were excellent. We diminished things off by sharing the profiteroles. Great service. Just a terrific place.

    The food was phenomenal, as usual! The atmosphere was exceptional. This place is such a vibe. Our server was very knowledgeable and offered suggestions without prompting; which is always a nice touch, in my opinion. I like that the food is made to order, because it gives you time to talk and enjoy the meal. There is nothing worse than having your entrée arrive while you are still working on your appetizer. Don't go by the reviews; check this place out for yourself. It is one of our favorites. Remember, any place can have an off night; are you perfect at your job every day?

    The soup of the day was black bean soup which was recommended. So delicious and warm on a cold rainy night. Sat too close to the door and felt it every time the door opened. The soup and cocktail helped warm the soul.

    It was my first time there with my friend and we really enjoyed ourselves. We opted to sit in the restaurant area and the music was nice. Definitely snapping and singing along. The staff was very friendly, and attentive to our needs. Our server Christopher was amazing. He gave us great suggestions on appetizers and entree selections and they were perfect. Get the Grand Marnier wings and the oxtail dinner. The rum cake did not appoint. I had the hands on your knees drink and it was good. Stop thinking about it and go.
