Copper Canyon Grill is a great place for lunch dinner, or happy hour. The ambiance is wonderful and the food is outstanding. The menu covers items such as appetizers, handhelds and main course selections. I would recommend Copper Canyon Grill for date nights, girl's night out or family gatherings.

Since moving to Gaithersburg about a year ago we are very happy with the availability of so many places to shop and dine at. Ted’s has quickly become a regular. It is convenient, consistent and never fails to offer friendly and helpful wait staff. Above all, the food variety is fun and always delicious!! We have learned though that reservations are a very big help during busy hours and add to a smoother dining experience! Highly recommend Teds!

Passion Fish is an excellent place to dine with family, friends or someone special. The service is great and the cuisine is delicious.
