Bethesda is loaded with restaurants....probably among the most
densely restaurant-populated areas in the U.S.   I agree with some
of the recommendations made so far..the Rio Grande is noisy
but has good Tex-Mex food.  The Thai Place  on Cordell Ave is
good as is theBangkok Garden on St. Elmo Ave.  (However to
my mind neither are as good as those "across the river" in 
Virginia, most notably Dungrats and Rabieng's  in Bailey's
Crossroads.)   The Cottonwood Cafe on Cordell is also good.
Further on down Wisconsin Avenue into the District of Columbia,
the   Cactus Cantina is also  good.   There are also at least
two Austin Grills in the  D.C. area that are  also worth visiting.
A  problem with Bethesda is that is it is such a popular  spot for
dining that parking can be a problem.   Natives use this strategy:
find a parking place - go to the nearest restaurant.
