CAVA to reopen Friday at Bethesda Row (Photos)

CAVA will reopen tomorrow, Friday, March 31, 2023 at 10:45 AM at 4832 Bethesda Avenue at Bethesda Row. The fast-casual Mediterranean grill has been closed since mid-January for extensive interior renovations. Here is a sneak peek inside the updated restaurant:

CHARLEY'S PHILLY STEAKS OPENING AT WESTFIELD MONTGOMERY MALL

Charley's Philly Steaks is the latest addition to the new Dining Terrace at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. The Columbus, Ohio-based cheesesteak chain previously had a spin-off Charley's Grilled Subs restaurant at the mall.

Besides Philly cheesesteaks, Charley's will also offer "gourmet fries," which can be ordered with various combinations of cheddar cheese, bacon and ranch sauce. Chicken cheesesteaks, grilled chicken salads, and the chain's famous lemonades will round out the menu.

This will be the first Charley's Philly Steaks to open in Montgomery County; the chain has Charley's Grilled Subs locations at Westfield Wheaton Plaza and Lakeforest Mall.

In other Dining Terrace news, Cava Grill and Lobster ME have coming soon signage over their spaces.

Two future restaurant additions at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda are getting a head start towards opening day this year. Naples 45 ristorante e pizzeria and Cava Mezze Grill have both applied for their liquor licenses, as construction continues on the mall's new dining terrace.

Naples 45 has an extensive beer and wine list at its New York City flagship location.

CHIPOTLE, CAVA MEZZE GRILL OPENING AT WESTFIELD MONTGOMERY MALL IN BETHESDA

Westfield Montgomery Mall is adding two more dining options, and both are already favorites in downtown Bethesda. Chipotle and Cava Mezze Grill are the latest additions to an exploding roster of restaurants. Like last summer's addition of Starbucks, both provide mall patrons with popular brands, and should be a draw for the sizable lunch crowd from the office parks and high school nearby.
