Bar Mitzvah at Tragara in Bethesda

http://www.tragara.com/index.htm

Thisrestaurant is certainly well qualified to hold your party: There is a spacious "upstairs" with dance floor, separate restroom, and coat service. Loud music does not seem to bother the regular restaurant crowd downstairs so that the dancing is real fun.

However, the food is not great. We had a 3-course dinner for about 80 people. Appetizers served during reception were pizza pieces (mushy), chicken sesame sticks (Italian?), and lamb chop (decent). At the tables they first served a salad, which I could easily prepare at home and which was not in the least Italian. The main course was salmon, which was nicely cooked but with unexciting side dish of potato croquette and an overcooked vegetable.

It took very long to prepare the dessert- not sure if his was upon the host's request or an issue with the restaurant. In any case, we left befor trying it.

Overall, great party space but do not expect too much fo the food.
