Mark and Lynn discover the sublime Black's Bar and Kitchen in Bethesda

We ventured South recently and we are always interested in finding new culinary adventures.  We found a sublime place in Black's Bar and Kitchen in Bethesda, Maryland.  We indulged in their generous happy hour with Thai Style Mussels that were buttery and ample. 

We also made our decadent way through 18 Chesapeake Oysters which were sweet and succulent.

Finally, I had a potent sample of an infusion of orange and whiskey which was amazingly fragrant  had a nice burn. 

Our attractive waitress was very nice and attentive and the atmosphere was sophisticated with great lighting and aesthetics but somehow warm and relaxed.
