Lots of restaurants in Kentlands, a lot of them chains, but pretty good ones 
for what it's worth.. Here's what I can think of with some brief comments:

Bonefish Grill-- somewhat upscale seafood chain owned by Outback, but 
excellent and very crowded and popular

Buca Di Beppa-- Italian "family style" chain, specializing in meats. Pretty 
good actually

O'Donnell's Seafood-- old line Bethesda seafood restaurant (i.e. frosted rum 
buns, Norfolk style dishes) that relocated to Kentlands in much nicer 
accommodations, quite good for the most part with nice atmosphere- although 
for the fish itself, I would say Bonefish is the superior choice. This place 
has more to choose from though, with oysters/clams on half shell, steamers, 
lobster, etc. A little pricey for what you get ordinarily, but the Sunday 
brunch is a tremendous value.

Cantina D'Italia-- large Italian restaurant, very average- you'd actually be 
better off at the Buca Di Beppa chain restaurant

Moby Dick House of Kabobs-- as bland as can be, not worth bothering; has 
this become Caspian Cafe? I haven't paid attention the last few visits to 
the Kentlands, since this place was so dull

Five Guys, Noodles & Company, Baja Fresh-- fast food like chains, but 
freshly made food and the best of the bunch

Famous Dave's-- lousy chain barbeque, go to Rockville and Derwood for much 
better, chain or otherwise

Tandoori Nights-- Indian, I haven't tried but have heard only good things

Potomac Pizza-- fine for kids, pizza was average at best

There's a little place for wood fired pizza and Italian sandwich place 
that's hidden in a less obvious place in the Kentlands off Market Street. I 
forget the name, but have heard good things about that too. The one time I 
tried to eat there, it was sweltering hot inside from the pizza oven and it 
was too crowded to find a table anyway. Looked like a take out joint if I 
ever saw one.

Vasili's-- also hidden in there off Market Street somewhere, but a small 
Greek place that's quite good

Good Fortune Chinese-- this was near Giant and may have changed its name; 
used to be excellent and carried Dim Sum until it changed ownership, last I 
tried it was too average to bother with unless you live there (and I think 
there is another Chinese place near the movies said to be better)

I hope this helps, I know I'm forgetting some.
