Reviews for Vasili's Kitchen in Gaithersburg, MD
Upscale local haunt with a very nice atmosphere, an intimate dining room with extended outdoor space, and a very cool outdoor... firepit/bar area. Staff are very friendly and prompt. Seating can be hit or miss without a reservation but there's usually spotsat the bar. The food is very good, but definitely on the pricier side for small plate dining. Read more
I popped in for a unexpected late lunch and was taken back by the elegant restaurant design. Absolutely Beautiful and an extra... pleasant ambiance. My waitress was attentive but since it was so close to dinner I only ordered the eggplant spread appetizerwith fresh pita triangles and sliced cucumbers; I loved the walnuts & feta cheese sprinkled on top. I also had the marinatedbeet salad with three decorative Greek yogurt mounds and a lovely sprinkling of pumpkin & black poppy seeds as well some othernut & seed mix. The food & drink menu are extensive and this place is certainly an above average restaurant. Worth the trip toGaithersburg! Read more
Nice place to eat. The food was delicious .Nice atmosphere sitting outside. We definitely come again!
The service was great. I ordered a virgin margarita and was slightly disappointed. The waiters respected my timing for food. The... only issue mostly is the price. It is overpriced. I understand the aesthetics is nice, perhaps ingredients are top quality,regardless it is beyond more than what they should be. My dish was good but not great however, the smoky rotisserie chicken wastorched perhaps and a strong smell was left behind. I had the dish before and this was not what I had in mind. The calamari wasabove average but the sauce can be worked on a bit more. Overall the experience was good but not great. Read more

Highly recommended. Read more
The best dish was the appetizer “grilled octopus “. So tender and delicious. The rest of the dishes were pretty normal. Our... waitress was very nice. Read more
It was a beautiful day so I decided to set up a little surprise dinner date night with my wife. I made the reservation online... for patio seating. Making reservations online was a breeze. But I had no idea that Thursdays was ladies night. So the patio waspacked with large tables of women. So we ended up waiting well past our actual reservation time. Patio seating this evening wasterrible. It was SO loud and people screaming and high pitch laughing was echoing in our ears. Unfortunately, our only otheroption was indoor dining and we just aren't ready for that. So we pretty much ate our entire meal looking at our cell phonesbecause it was too loud for us to talk. We were ultimately screaming at each other and it was just too much. But definitelylooking forward to being able to dine in - because their dining room looks super chic and comfy! Table service was excellent.Our poor server was screaming at us so we could hear her. But she was super nice and patient! We ordered... Spicy FriedCalamari Grilled Octopus Marinated Beet Salad with Salmon Greek Salad with Salmon The grilled octopus was good. But not thebest we've had. The calamari was ON POINT. Lightly breaded and flavorful! The beet salad was excellent. The Greek yogurt thatcomes on it is amazing! Greek salad is standard. The salmon was perfect! The skin was perfectly crispy and seared.Delicious! Prices are on the higher end. But food is worth it. Read more
I never write reviews but my experience required one. On Friday night my family and I went to VASILIS KITCHEN to eat dinner. ... The host looked like she was clueless asking us several times for the name for our reservation. Every time we said our name,she would say one minute talk to someone else and ask again. She even checked her phone while there was a line! The atmospherewas beautiful and I was expecting a wonderful evening... I was wrong. We sat in the main dining room - crowded, loud, and noroom to feel comfortable. From the start, our waitress (who looked like she did not want to be there) informed us of happyhour. She had a bad attitude and seemed upset with us. At one point I needed a napkin and no one was near, they were allhuddled together talking. Talk about poor service. The food was good, nothing memorable except the high prices. Came out at areasonable time. Will not be returning. Read more
