   I really like this spot. The food and atmosphere are lovely and the service is great. The fried chicken was fantastic and I loved their omelette as well. This is a great addition to Wheaton’s restaurant community.

   We have been here twice now. We have enjoyed al the food. Vegan, fish, burger, salad, appetizers. The staff is very pleasant and welcoming. It might be noisier later (we eat early). But it was pleasant when we were there. The bar tender will even make you a mocktail if you ask. Do make reservations. Parking is a breeze at the public garage across the street. Our only wish was that they would serve some bread without asking for it - especially with the entrees that have delicious sauces.

   The varied, well-made, reasonably priced and attractively presented food at this gem of a restaurant should be experienced by anyone who considers themselves a discerning eater. It is something of an oasis in the franchised, impersonal, over-priced and humdrum dining scene that is all too common in Montgomery County, MD. The service is friendly and careful. Very much recommended.

   Great drinks by Brandon. The meals were excellent from the lamb bolognese to the butternut squash, the food was terrific. Topped off with chocolate bread pudding. Good experience, we wil be back.

   Excellent dinner last night. Our party of 4 had charcuterie, calamari, and beet/burrata appetizers. Entrees of gnocchi/shortrib, duck breast, and ribeye steak were all great. (Side of potato gratin could use more seasoning or cheese.) Downtown food without the drive. Service was attentive and friendly. The restaurant filled up fast and was full by 7 on Saturday night. I am puzzled by people who write negative reviews when they eat out for holidays (Valentine's day, Mother's day brunch, etc.) Those are total amateur hour days when customers are at their worst. It's unfair to judge restaurants harshly in all the chaos. They clearly never worked in a restaurant or just have no compassion for staff.

   We’re so lucky to have District Bistro in Wheaton. The food is fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. Whether for a casual meal or even a special occasion, this little spot is just right. Had the Chicken Shwarma Salad for lunch today and enjoyed every morsel.

   I was a little worried when I reserved a table for a Sat brunch and we arrived at 11 am to find ourselves the only ones there. I don't know why-- all the brunch dishes were unusually good.
