Just read that the Bethesda Marriott (Pooks Hill) has finished a complete renovation and added a new restaurant.

"The full-scale renovation of the Bethesda Marriott is nearly complete and its latest addition is the Cooper’s Mill restaurant. The Mid-Atlantic-focused restaurant opened Monday at the Pooks Hill hotel.

Chef Patrick Lenhardt, who joined the restaurant after a stint at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis, has created a menu featuring oysters, crab soup, rockfish, steak frites and buttermilk chicken and waffles. The restaurant also will offer a lineup of flatbreads baked in a stone oven and locally sourced items such as Taharka Brothers ice cream from Baltimore and pastrami from Washington, D.C.’s Stachowski's Market.

Over the past year the hotel has completed a renovation of its rooms, lobby, lounge and meeting spaces to create a more modern look."

Cheers.
