“I enjoyed both of my visits over this past weekend. The food was delicious and the waitstaff was great. Can’t wait to make my way back so that I can go again.“

“Because of the closeness to home our sons had taking us for Dinner it was GREAT Place! my husband and myself go there occasionally!“

“I ordered the meatloaf sandwich and tater tots, with spinach on the side. The tots were a little too crispy for me and there was too much oil on the spinach. However, they tasted fine, so not a big enough issue to complain about. The meatloaf sandwich was tasty. It has two thinner than expected slices of meatloaf, which worked perfectly. Better than one thick slice. The ratio of bread to meat was great in my opinion. You're not overly stuffed after eating this meal either. I have also had the Shrimp and Grits here previously and that is a definite recommendation.“

“Omg- we came here last minute for my daughter’s 10th birthday. I called and asked if I can bring cake with us and they said yes! We showed up around 8pm and was welcomed with open arms. Immediately sat. The atmosphere is so cute. I can’t believe Starbucks used to be here.
Our server Ruth took great care of us and took special care of the birthday girl. The food was very fresh and delicious. The drinks were tasty too! We ordered the branzino, crab fried rice w shrimp, shrimp tempura rolls, and shrimp nigiri. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back just to see Ruth 🤗❤“

“I don’t typically write reviews, good or bad, however our experience at Xenia on Oct 12th has changed my mind. We were in the area from Boston just for the night and learned of Xenia through our hotels concierge. It was amazing and probably one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The food was outstanding and prepared beautifully. We had the Spanikopita, Greek salads, shrimp saganaki, and lamb riblets. All very tasty and expertly prepared. What really did it though was the on point service offered by Mary (Maris). Her efficiency, attention to details, thoughtful presentation of the menu, was a 15 out of 10! She is a super star! We were delightfully surprised by the restaurant’s generous hospitality when they sent us a dessert sampler compliments of the house because we were out of state first timers. I only wish weren’t 5+ hours away, as we would be fast regulars for sure!“

“Five stars for Frisco and the Reckless Shepherd Brew Pub! The Mushroom/Truffle Oil Pizza and Chef Salad were excellent! Super staff. We also enjoyed Trivia Night with family members during our visit to Columbia, Maryland. Easy parking; spacious; casual environment; lots of screens for entertainment. Indoor/outdoor seating.“

“Local spot, clean and open, friendly staff, delicious Neapolitan style pizzas and appetizers. Good drinks selections.
Pizzas came out fast, hot, and tasty.
Good place to get some yum yum while watching sports games.
Highly recommend.“

“Overall this is a good place to have Happy Hour. I am super disappointed that the charcuterie board was taken off the menu. It was the best! Bring it back please!“

“The service is great and the food is good.
Really enjoyed the pork belly over corn. The pork loin entree is also good. I'd recommend getting the honey ginger glaze on the side because I tend to put too much.

The Spaghetti Frutti Di Mare is a nice pasta dish. If you're not a fan of baby octopus you might ask them to leave them out.

The house salad with blue cheese is good, chicken wings.

I've had mixed reviews on the peppercorn ribeye.“

“karaoke on a busy Friday night at peak hour....was not a great choice. the vibes were way different than what we came for...“

“It’s a chill place to be at this time a day the food is great anyone and everyone come to Ale House“

“Katie, our sever, was the best. Very personable and friendly, and very professional. She knew the menu well and made great recommendations.

Drinks were great, food was really good (crab dip was tasty - not the best ever, but really solid), and the place itself had a nice vibe. The service is what made it stand out, though!“

“Finally, some flavor! Not the same basic food. Yom“

“Love this restaurant. Yummy tacos. Great location in short walking distance to the fabulous outdoor Merriweather Post Pavilion music venue.“
