For many years
I've been enjoying the
Culinary Artistry of Chef Robert Wiedmaier.
My family and I have had many splendid
meals at the very elegant
Marcel's downtown.
And of course,
Chef Wiedmaier has been busy with his Belgian themed,
and more casual restaurants
Brasserie Beck and Mussel Bar.
Most recently
we've seen the opening of
Wildwood Kitchen
in the Wildwood Shopping Center
in Bethesda.
I've dined there a number of times and it is
very, very good!
The ambience is
modern, casual, and perhaps even a bit rustic.
The service... knowledgeable & friendly.
And the food...
every bite has been delicious!
You must try some of these gorgeous,
light & crispy Sardines!
They will come as a revelation to many.
The Fennel, Endive, and Shrimp Salad
was also a lovely way to start off.
Duck freak that I am,
I could not pass up theirs and it was superb!
My brother Eric feasted on their uber unctuous
Short Ribs.
I don't recall if either of us uttered a word
as we made short order of these fantastic entrees.
For dessert we shared
this Rice Pudding with Lemongrass...
and Wildwood Kitchen's
chocolate moussey, and crunchy
Kit Kat Bar like dessert
that chefs have been presenting for the past quarter century or so.
Desserts were very good,
just a tad less exciting than the savories.
Freshly ground, single origin estate coffee
brewed in French Press was a
perfect way to end the evening!
All in all,
I've been to Wildwood Kitchen three times
and I know I'll be going back again & again.
How nice to have this quality food, service, and ambience
in the neighborhood!
