Mussel Bar & Grille- Bethesda

"The name says it all" at Robert Wiedmaier's tribute to his Belgian heritage in Bethesda, where "great" mussels flex their stuff alongside a "huge, well-thought-out beer selection" that lubricates a "hopping" bar scene; a few critics plead "they've got to do something about the acoustics" (it's "all hard wood and metal"), but service is solid, and if you dig mussels, "this is the place to go in...

The Thai mussels were excellent, but you have to love spicy. We had margarita flatbread also, which was terrific. Others in our party had the Hamburger, which they said was perfect. This is a great place for a casual dinner with friends. If you are into beer, they have hundreds of choices.

In addition to mussels, Mussel Bar's Belgian fries and delicious wood-fired tarts, or Belgian pizzas, are a must. The tarts incorporate fresh ingredients that burst...
