King Farm is in Rockville at approximately 355 and Redland (by Shady Grove 
metro), not too far from Kentlands. Let me think of the restaurants there..

Nick's Chophouse is in an office building and I think they are trying for a 
Ruth Chris/Morton's type feel. They do fall short of those places, but the 
atmosphere is nice and it makes for a wonderful lunch that's an excellent 
value. The dinner is another story-- Ruth Chris prices but the quality is 
less and service is pretty mixed. Definitely a good restaurant but stick 
with it for a "power" lunch so as not to be disappointed.

Thai Farm is also in an office building and is just great, some of the best 
Thai in the area and certainly some of the friendliest proprietors/staff 
that you'll ever find. Very inviting atmosphere as well.

Fontina Grill is a very good Italian restaurant, not outstanding but still 
worthwhile, again with nice atmosphere and generally good service. Not 
overly expensive either.

Kardo Mediterranean Grill is a rather bland Persian restaurant. It makes 
Moby Dick seem exciting by comparison.

I've not been to L'oustalet - a tiny French restaurant which has gotten good 
press, although I've not heard anything good from people who have personally 
eaten there.

Nagoya Sushi- I ate there once and realized I never needed to go there again 
when the far superior Momo Taro exists right nearby on 355. Don't bother 
unless you live there and want to walk to get your sushi.

Eastern Cafe-- takeout Chinese so unless you live nearby, you need not 
bother, but I have always found it better than most of its competitors, 
although slightly more expensive too.

For fast food, there is a Baja Fresh which is great and Quizno's which I 
find inedible. There is also a Maggie Moo's Ice Cream place, a rather 
expensive indulgence (though maybe a bit less so than Cold Stone Creamery) 
where they beat your ice cream into oblivion then mix it with gummi bears, 
butterfinger bars, marshmallows, etc.

So in summary, if King Farm is your destination, then Thai Farm and Fontina 
Grill are your best bets. If you live/work over there, then Nick's, Baja 
Fresh, and Eastern are all worthwhile as well. L'oustalet may be worth 
trying too, I've never been.
