“We needed space and food for 40 plus people for a reception after a funeral. Could not have asked for a smoother, easier and more pleasant handling of our needs.Seth, Liz, and Neil were incredible!From the moment I contacted Seth through the planning and scheduling, to the execution of the event, everything went off without a hitch.I can't thank them enough for all they did for our family.Everyone, including myself loved all the food items we had. Thank you back of the house!!I will be returning, not only for myself, but business meetings as well.Thanks everyone at River Hill Grill.“

“First time here -- on a Sunday evening. We wanted to use the elevator but couldn't find it so we did the stairs. Very nice place -- not too many people there on a Sunday evening. We were seated in a dining room that was large and cavernous, so the sound carries. The service was very good. A new waiter by the name of Earl who told us it was only his fourth shift, but he was friendly, great, and attentive. The food that we ordered was amazing. The calamari and the crab dip were very good, but the main dishes were excellent (spaghetti and meatballs, ribeye steak and the filets wrapped in bacon). The steaks were cooked to order and side dishes were great, too. My granddaughter ordered the Cinnamon Bun Bread pudding and it was sooooo good. We will definitely be coming back here since we don't live very far away.“

“Katie is absolutely nothing short of phenomenal. Having come to this restaurant since it’s opening, Katie is one of the most outgoing and friendly servers I’ve ever had the pleasure of being seated with.The atmosphere at Lib’s is perfect from family gatherings to celebrating Mother’s Day, every event is a special occasion at Libs. The food is phenomenal and everything you could ask for is at the tip of your fingertips!“

“Came here for a family birthday dinner on a Saturday evening, did not disappoint! Since it was the weekend, it was definitely busy. We made a reservation a few days prior, so I do recommend making a reservation for the weekend (not sure how busy it gets during the weekday but I assume it would still be popular!) Our server was super attentive as well as the other servers walking around throughout our meal. He offered us recommendations and was very detailed and kind. He also mentioned that there are items that can be made Gluten Free but to not assume that the GF label means that it is gluten free by nature. We started with the calamari which tasted fresh and delicious! Always one of our go-to appetizers at any restaurant that offers it. For our mains, we ordered an assortment of entrees--pasta, paella, grilled salmon, and the ribeye steak. They were super accommodating to requests/substitutions as well (sub veggies for mashed potatoes, etc). Everything was so yum - nothing tasted lukewarm despite everything coming out around the same time. Nothing was bland - flavors were all prominent without being overbearing. The steaks were cooked according to temperature preferences and the salmon was not dry at all! The only reason why I docked a star is because of how loud it gets, making it a little difficult to have conversation with the table and also flag down our server who was super busy. It's also a little on the darker side (think borderline cheesecake factory level) so just beware for those who may have people in their party who cannot see well in dim lighting. Will definitely be back in the future :)“

“This place was amazing. When I saw the one dish salad and sliced steak with fries, only options. I was a bit skeptical. However, this place rocks. Steak made perfect to order, and the home made gravy and fresh bread delicious. The Lavender 75 drink was a great refreshing beverage. Definitely will be our new date night spot.“

“food is ok. have had better. very loud salsa music the whole time. I,m sure thats for the kitchen help to enjoy. no one else liked it. had to scream to talk to my friend the whole time. won't go back. I don't like to pay 130 for lunch and not be able to enjoy it. thats just stupid.“

“We selected Iron Bridge Wine Company for dinner to celebrate the retirement of a former work colleague and his wife. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess who in addition to seating us took the time to familiarize us with the menus and drink options. The staff also had a handwritten congratulatory note for our guest of honor, acknowledging the special dinner. Our waiter Sean, was very pleasant and professional, surprising us with four glasses of Prosecco to toast our guests. Appetizers were amazing (Lobster ravioli was so good) and all of us ordered the ribeye steaks which were grilled to perfection. The entire dinner was so enjoyable, paced perfectly, and our guests were so pleased and appreciative of the effort put forth by the restaurant team. It was a perfect evening -- thank you!“

“Our excellent waiter, Armani, told us that the sea bass entree was very good, and that's what I ordered. He was right - it was delicious on a bed of wild rice and green beans. I ordered a side of sweet potato and potato soup the start. My glass of Australian Malbec was the perfect accompaniment. Honestly, I've really never had a meal there that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed! Last night everything was great!“

“I don't know why but I was skeptical about Dive Bar & Grille but husband, daughter and I had a great experience and delicious food. The upper level of the restaurant was reserved for a birthday party, but that was fine we went down one level (are there three levels to this restaurant?) We were seated in a booth at the rear of the restaurant in a quiet corner. Perfect! Shortly after we were seated our server, Morgan came to our booth and greeted us. Being our first visit we had some questions about the menu but had already settled on drinks so went ahead and order some delicious drinks called "Sucker Punch". While we were sipping our drinks we studied the menu. Morgan came back shortly and was very patient answering our questions. We ordered an appetizer of soft pretzels with cheese dip for the table. Rich finally settled on a fried chicken sandwich with fries, Jen ordered a French dip with tots, and I ordered a hummus platter. The appetizer was decent and Jen and Rich seemed to enjoy. After nibbling on that for a while out came our entrees. The portions were so generous! I was surprised Rich ordered a fried chicken sandwich but he took one bite and was a happy man. I tasted the chicken and I could understand why. The chicken was moist with a perfect crunchy coating. The only minor complaint was his fries weren't very crisp. Jen loved her French dip and dug right into the pile of tots that did look delicious. And then there was my hummus platter. The platter included traditional hummus, black bean hummus, pita chips, celery and carrot sticks. It was so big that I ate my fill, I shared some with Jen and Rich, and we still had enough left over for lunch the next day. Needless to say we totally enjoyed Dive Bar, the ambiance, the service and the food!“

“Jen was a sweatheart I rarely see owners so involved and hands on in every day operations at restaurants. If you’re in the area you’re cheating yourself by not coming here. Chicken Quesadillas and good vibes. Pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. I’ll definitely be a regular here!“

“There's Cheers in Boston, MA and there's Fusion Bar and Grill (FBG) in Cloverly, MD. Both establishments where everyone knows your name. FBG is the quintessential neighborhood/dive bar, nestled in between Silver Spring and Olney. FBG has various bar foods, specials depending on the day, and Happy Hour ALL DAY LONG on Sunday. All menu items well well-priced and fairly portioned.Support your local business!“

“Title: "Nordstrom Cafe: A Three-Day Culinary Journey Through a Hidden Gem" Introduction: Nordstrom Cafe may not be the first place that comes to mind for a remarkable dining experience, but after spending three consecutive days here, I can confidently say that it's a hidden gem worth discovering. Day 1 - Caesar Salad with Grilled Shrimp: My culinary adventure began with a classic Caesar salad, elevated by succulent grilled shrimp. The freshness of the lettuce, the creaminess of the dressing, and the perfectly grilled shrimp combined to create a delightful symphony of flavors. It was a refreshing start to my journey, setting high expectations for what was to come. Day 2 - Mushroom Ravioli with Parmesan Cream Sauce: On my second visit, I decided to explore the pasta offerings and was blown away by the mushroom ravioli. Nestled in a velvety parmesan cream sauce and adorned with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, each bite was a revelation. The ravioli itself was tender, and the earthy flavors of mushrooms harmonized beautifully with the creamy sauce. It was a dish that would make any Italian nonna proud. Day 3 - Grilled Tuscan Salmon with Couscous and Mixed Vegetables: For my grand finale, I opted for the grilled Tuscan salmon. The fish was impeccably cooked, with a perfectly seared exterior and a tender, flaky interior. Paired with a bed of fluffy couscous and an array of vibrant mixed vegetables, it felt like a culinary trip to the Mediterranean. The flavors were fresh, and the portion was generous, leaving me fully satisfied. Conclusion: Nordstrom Cafe isn't just a place to grab a quick bite while shopping; it's a culinary destination waiting to be uncovered. With a diverse menu offering dishes like the Caesar salad with grilled shrimp, mushroom ravioli with parmesan cream sauce, and grilled Tuscan salmon with couscous and mixed vegetables, this cafe offers a hidden treasure trove of flavors. Three days in a row, I was treated to exceptional food, and each dish left an indelible mark on my taste buds. If you're seeking a hidden gem in the world of dining, Nordstrom Cafe should be on your list. Don't be surprised if, like me, you find yourself returning for more culinary adventures.“

“KCR is the most beautiful classic place for a meal in Howard County. The food in the past has lived up to the ambiance but in the most recent visit there were some let downs. The meal started with an excellent Brie and an excellent Riesling. The main courses were Crab Cakes and Veal Margarita. The Crab Cakes were very good but not quite as good as past visit although I still would go back for them. The big disappointment was the veal. It was a really ugly piece of veal that reminded me of processed meats. A bland marinara sauce over soggy spaghetti made the dish almost uneatable. The best part was perfectly prepared vegetables so it wasn't a total loss. A fruit tart was excellent as well. I still love the place so hopefully this was just a once off.“

“It was a girls day brunch. The food was fantastic. Our server was very good very nice and very attentive. My only issue was with the music. The acoustics in your restaurant are not very good with regard to the noise level and having a jazz band made it difficult to talk unless we talked at a louder volume, which is what other tables were doing, which just made it very loud. I'm not sure I would return at a time when you have live music so I will need to keep an eye on your website to avoid the live music. “
