do it -- take a stepbackin time. i haven't been here for ages and it's nice to know some elements in bethesda haven't changed. for a dinner the food is still excellent along with the conversation and people you might meet late at night or in the early morning hours. i went with old buddies who also attended bcc high school, and we ordered half the menu and watched the sunrise with manager michael russell, who delighted us with his stories of the past, along with the best coffee you will find. if you are like so many in bethesda and chevy chase who can remember "when" then you owe it to yourself to stop by for the best cheap eats in town. you will feel you've steppedbackin time for better or worse. for us it was delightful. our many thanks to michael, we will meet again.
