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

“My family and I frequent this restaurant and we are always pleased with the food and the service is good as well. We went a couple of weeks ago as a family and had arrived right at 9 to the doors being locked. There were people inside and no signs on the door to say they were closing early. We thought it was odd and frustrating because the posted close time was 10 p.m. we will go back but this was extremely irritating and no one came out to say anything to us.“

“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.“

“We have been searching for a restaurant that has great healthy options. So glad we decided to try this place! Ordered the Homemade delicious pizza crust no preservatives, with flour imported from Italy. Toped with smoked provolone cheese and meat balls made it outstanding. The side salad was tasty. Rachel our server could not have been more accommodating?and friendly, giving us fantastic service. She has a wonderful personality. It is always a pleasure to meet a Glenelg High graduate. We are looking forward to our next dinning experience at Pupatella. Hopefully the weather will stay nice so we can sit outside!“

“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!“

“if Mack takes care of you be grateful. He recommends excellent items. introduced me to a previously untried stout which matched perfectly with my sandwich.
Friendly and Proffesional service. I look forward to my next visit to the area.“

“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“

“I got an opportunity to visit the Turn House over the weekend. Who knew this gem was in Howard County. It a cozy place with a view of the golf course. You can enjoy your meal inside or eat on the veranda. It was perfect for my small party of three. The Faroe Island Salmon dish was delicious with tender fish, creamy potatoes and tasty string beans. The kitchen team were on point with the appearance of each plate. Our server, Lexy, kept us hydrated and took our order right away. She was friendly, informative and helpful. Two of us had allergy issues which she made sure to let the kitchen know. We were treated to a little birthday treat from the kitchen and enjoyed a glass of champagne from the manager. It was a perfect day. Thank you Turn House for making our September birthday outing extra special.“

“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.“
