Our Favorite Restaurants in Rockville

In two years we enjoyed most of the 32 restaurants in Rockville that we visited. Here are the favorites that we return to more than others.

I counted them up and learned that we have enjoyed 32 restaurants in Rockville in the past two years, some more than once, and some several times. My wife and I go for lunch twice a week after the gym; and I go by myself after a meeting, after golf at Redgate, or shopping.

My favorite for lunch is the Mosaic, famous for waffles, but offering lots more. This is a chef owned restaurant with the chef in attendance. Mosaic’s soups reflect a lot of work and their three-soup sampler is something everyone should enjoy. Service is great. In addition, the noise level is moderate so you can have a conversation with your partner.

For bargains and top quality, I like the Silver Diner and its focus on healthy eating. Another bargain, is Panera, which has great lunches although the place is packed and a little hectic until mid afternoon. They need a larger facility.

For the best breakfast with eggs, bacon, corned beef hash, and grits, or potatoes, I like the original Ambrosia near the Giant on lower Rockville Pike.

More later.

FYI, the "original" Ambrosia was located for decades on the Rockville Pike just south of Congressional Plaza. When that strip shopping center was redeveloped, the two owners each opened new Ambrosias. I prefer Ambrosia Grille, at 802 Hungerford Drive.

The "Pike Pub" preceeded the original Ambrosia near Congressional Plaza I believe. It was a frequent "watering hole" for us. I think the Pike Pub closed in the late 1970's, replaced by Ambrosia. I remember we were not happy...

Twinbrook Swimming Pool (TSP) can hold three public open house days to introduce the pool toRead More perspective members. This year the dates are June 8, July 13 and August 10. The cost is $5 per person. The TSP has a big insurance policy to cover swimmers. Not sure free is appropriate. As a private membership pool, there are regulations that must be followed.

Does either county or city pool offer free trial periods? I don't think so.

If you swim on the 3 open public swim days at the Twinbrook Swimming Pool, you can consider it aRead More trial. Liability insurance does cost money. Entrance of $5 is a real bargain. Members pay to maintain the pool.

I am so sorry this happened to your girls! There is no excuse for the theater personnel notRead More helping. I hope you get an apology from management. Perhaps the city police should have an officer in the area after the last movie.

Yaaaay! Lets put it on the police again. Good thinking the Deb. How about Kate gets her daughter aRead More chaperone. Ask 2 people and then a movie theatre employee and then walk home? That story sounds really fishy. I don't believe the world is in as bad a shape as Kate purports.

I think more facts are necessary here. When you didn't hear from them you didn't go to theater toRead More find them? It is hard to know where blame lies here, not knowing how old these girls are. It sounds like your daughter and god daughter don't have their own phones? No matter my children's age, I make it a point to know the running times of the movies they're at, especially if I am the one who is going to be picking them up. We warn children--especially girls and young women--not to go to strangers for help. We know that of the three girls, the man kidnapped one who was his daughter's friend after giving her a lift.

Looking forward to seeing our Sister City Pinneberg dancers perform. Thank you to all RockvilleRead More families for hosting our German guests and for Karen Rawlins coordinating the dance exchange. Brigitta Mullican
