Fialova

After tea at Hillwood Estate, my friends and I stopped by the Cherry Blossom Festival Pop-up Bar at Fiavola Restaurant inside The Bethesdan. It will be there until 4/14. The restaurant was decorated with cherry blossom garlands and cherry petal pillows. The service was better at the bar than the table. For drinks, we enjoyed the Cherry Blossom inspired cocktails, including Japanese Slipper and Blossom 75, and Pinot Grigios. For food, we enjoyed the Slider Trio, Poutine, and Suntory Whisky Glazed Chicken Wings. The Slider Trio consisted of a burger, crabcake, and fried chicken thigh slider. Among the three sliders, my fiance enjoyed the crabcake the most. I liked how the chicken wings were sweet and tangy and came with carrots and celery served with ranch dipping sauce. It was a bit messy t

Went to Fialova for drag bingo. It was a lot of fun, and the vibes were great. The restaurant is inside the Bethesdan, and is easily accessible by metro. The food and drinks were great. I had the chicken sandwich (comes with fries), espresso martini, and chocolate peanut butter cake. All were a hit. Service a bit slow, but they were busy this night. Friendly staff all around though so no biggie. Would recommend this place to friends and fam. Apparently they also have trivia night on wednesdays!

A nice surprise in the hotel lobby. The food was excellent. We got burgers, wings, and crabcakes. The service was great, food came out quickly, and it wasn’t even that expensive. It’s not exactly a destination restaurant, but if you’re in the hotel and need a meal, this is a really good option.

Very nice, quiet atmosphere. The bartender was extremely knowledgeable and very attentive. He carefully labored over my friend's three (3) Makers Mark old fashions. And those are a pain in the neck to make! Another cool thing was that they served beer and wine after the bar closed, you just have to order it from the concierge desk.

Fialova is a restaurant for visitors that like the comfort of being in there hotel. I had the crab cake entry which came with risotto and asparagus and some type of white sauce. Food was underwhelming in taste and presentation; this was not good representation of The Maryland crab cakes. The salmon was season well, but the sides rissoto and veggies were not not.
