New American Restaurants in Columbia, MD

“Cool concept it’s like +6 kitchens in 1. They offer a lot of different promos on social media. From Alana pizza, I ordered the burrata and the bacon pesto pizza. The burrata was really fresh and I enjoyed the pesto pizza. From Di Fara pizza, I ordered the pepperoni, sausage and meatball pizza. Not sure if it was dough or the pizza was undercooked, but I wish there was more of a crisp to the crust. I found myself chewing longer than expected.

Location was really clean and ordering via the app was easy. There’s plenty of street parking around the shopping center. Prices are high for the area. I would definitely be back to try some of the other restaurants.“

“1st time visiting the Turn House and it for sure was one of the best restaurant/Happy hour experiences I've had in a while..our waitress Ciara was beyond exceptional..from the moment she started our table waiton to the very end she was more than attentive, quick and extremely friendly...In addition to our delicious fare Ciara's hospitality definitely made the Turn House a great choice!“

“Absolutely amazing. A true fine dining 5* experience from the service to the food. Will return again and again.“

“Ordered the army breakfast. Eggs were over done, sausage was under cooked and the entire meal was cold. Could have had a better breakfast at a homeless shelter. First and last time.“

“Really special spot. Delicious food, wine, and cocktails. What stood out the most to me was the absolutely fantastic service. Hannah is probably the best server we have ever had. They make everyone celebrating a special occasion feel special. We will definitely be back.“

“We had the most delicious dinner this evening! Our server, Lorri, was very attentive and so personable. The food was simply outstanding! We had the calamari, fried cauliflower and whipped ricotta appetizer. All were so delicious and the presentation was lovely. For dinner, we sampled the burger, chicken Marsala, and Porchetta. Each was unique and so tasty. We finished with homemade raspberry sorbet and the somores dessert which were both very yummy. The cocktails were also very good! I can’t believe we didn’t find this “gem” earlier!!!! We can’t wait to come again!!!“

“We recently celebrated my parents' 70th anniversary at Kings Contrivance Restaurant, and I can't express enough how wonderful the experience was. The entire evening was perfect, from the warm and inviting atmosphere to the impeccable service. Richard, in particular, was outstanding—he answered all of my questions and ensured that everything was just right for our family gathering. The food was outstanding—every dish was prepared with care and attention to detail, making our celebration even more special. My parents were thrilled to have the entire family together for this milestone event, and they couldn’t stop raving about how wonderful the restaurant was. If you're looking for a place to host a special occasion, I highly recommend Kings Contrivance Restaurant. It was the perfect setting for a memorable night that our family will cherish forever.“

“From start to finish this is a restaurant with a creative idea and a delicious finish. Brunch was incredible steak perfectly cooked medium rare sliced thinly presented beautifully with french fries that were perfectly cooked better than any I have ever had. Poached eggs that were Perfections a rich yolk is silcky and smoot . I cannot rate this brunch menu as high as it deserves absolutely recommend trying it for yourself the steak is better than a filet mignon as tender as a prime rib also includes bottomless Bloody Marys mimosas or aperol spritzes the very little price of $34. And don't let me forget the vanilla dried fruit and granola parfait balanced and delicious. Service by Jessica was outstanding she made it fun was completely knowledgeable and accommodating Jessica makes the first 10/10 espresso martini I have ever had. The chocolate martini made by a different bartender was about a 7 out of 10 espresso Martini was so balanced espresso was the first flavor and yes it had alcohol but it did not make your tongue burn again highest of praise. Can not wait to bring my friends back so much better than Outback I would even go as far as to say better than Ruth Chris. Save your money come to medium rare if you dare. Thank you Jessica you made it fun and exciting we will be back just for you Okay I lied for the steak too.“

“The Nordstrom Cafe has the absolute best service! The entire staff is always friendly, accommodating and the food is always fresh & taste amazing! I can’t say enough good things about this place. Always a great experience! 5/5 stars! ?“

“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.“

“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!“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Walrus as usual. Their shucking raw bar is the best. Seafood is always fresh and delicious. Their staff are friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Aaron was no exception. We went for Chesapeake Oyster week and half price on raw bar Tuesday so we enjoyed a great meal at a fantastic price. Highly recommend, going back real soon.“

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

“We were here for the M3 after party on Friday night and the staff were all friendly and amazing. We had the sound rocking, the place was packed and the service was still fast. Great Venue with in minutes of Merry Weather Post Pavilion We look forward to working with you again for future events.“

“2nd year attending a NAMI event held in the room on the 2nd floor. Nice space - consider some type of adjustable shade for the latest afternoon sun.
The blackened salmon over asparagus and rice was delicious - servers managed three courses seamlessly.“

“The family (party of 5) had dinner here on Friday night at 5:30. We were promptly seated as there were plenty of open tables.

Taylor, our server was very good and took our orders (with plenty of special requests) perfectly and also handled all our requests promptly and with a smile 😊.

The food came out in a reasonable amount of time and everyone said their food was good. We ordered the following (see pics)

Santa Fe Salad
Seafood tacos
Brewhouse Bites Sampler (for 2)
Pepperoni Pizza

I liked that the tables were not all crammed together and the noise level was reasonable so I could hear the conversations at our table without screaming.

I like to see responsive service and good management and experienced both during this visit. Will plan to come back again“

“Smoked Salmon was delicious. We dipped the bread in the Musssels. Pork and Steak cooked perfectly.“
