The Bench - Gaithersburg

Loved Happy Hour. Although their menu is small, it is filled. And her pancake was delicious!

I stay with this Marriott or the nearby court very regularly for work. I have eaten in almost every restaurant in the Rio Washingtonian area and this is my favorite, hands down. I never thought to eat here until my staff told me it was good. I regret all these excursions to the medium chain restaurants in the area when I could eat here! The veggie burger is just delicious (get it on the brioche bun though), how is the Quinoa superfood salad. The flatbreads are also surprisingly good. My employees swear sandwich at the crab cake and it looks delicious. You also have a good selection of beer and wine, especially for a small hotel bar. The only thing I tried there that I wouldn't recommend was the apple crumbs/kissen dessert. I found the service really great, especially when you sit directly at the bar, although it was also great lately at the tables (here it was a little slower at the tables, but still good). There is a bartender that is just fantastic, she is just so nice and friendly and gives the best service. I feel like this place is a completely underestimated option for the area! Try it!

This place has a great service and delicious menu. One of the best places ever. The drinks and the food arrived quickly and the prices were cheap. Recommended.

Great place, great food, high standards service, outstanding environment
