About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Romantic
Bouboulina is an elevated dining experience inspired by Laskarina Bouboulina, the fearless Greek naval commander of the 1821 War of Independence and one of history’s first female admirals. Infused with the spirit of her homeland, Spetses, Greece, and the seafaring essence of her adventurous life on the water, Bouboulina redefines the classic steakhouse. It artfully blends timeless elegance with a moody, modern allure, balancing bold contrasts of light and dark, masculine and feminine. The chef-driven menu celebrates impeccably cooked steaks, complemented by meticulously crafted cocktails, all set within an ambiance of understated sophistication. Nestled in North Bethesda, Bouboulina is the latest visionary concept from the creative minds behind Cava Mezze, Julii, and Melina.

    The food was tasty, well prepared and fresh. My only criticism is the prices are a little high. They have an A-1 Bartender who is excellent. Our server Victoria was attentive and helpful. She answered all of our questions. I enjoyed my time there.

    The food was better than average—flavorful and well-presented. The ambience was excellent with a trendy art deco vibe. Unfortunately, the service was inattentive and slow, which took away from the overall experience. Worth a visit for the setting and food, but service needs improvement.

    Overall atmosphere of the restaurant is fine, though can get loud despite the furnishings that should absorb the sound level. Perhaps the most disappointing was that the wine list doesn't match the level of the menu items. Given the above average prices of the main dishes, would've expected a better wine list. Realizing that this location in Montgomery County, MD, brings with it inherent county limitations, the list could still be a bit better in quality of wines. Also, hint to management: place your Champagnes under the heading of Sparkling wines, we missed that when we looked at the list. In view of the county-imposed limitations on wine procurement, the restaurant should consider a corkage fee for some of us who might wish to bring our own.

    I love the sister restaurants and was excited to try. The totally black room was a vibe. I felt the tableware did not match. The bread price was nuts. I had the salmon that was good with a tasty sauce that mitigated how it was cooked. The steak was good. Salad was good because so many Caesar salads are bad. All good not great. Prices dictate great. BTW not their issue, but why are men wearing old jeans to a supposed high end dining experience. Over half looked like they were on their way to a sporting event.
