“We enjoyed a lovely brunch here on a beautiful Fall day. We loved the historic building and the lovely treed grounds surrounding it. The food was outstanding and the service was exceptional. Highly recommend!“

“the people there were absolutely the nicest to our family. the food was magnificent!! thanks for a good experience!“

“Best steamed dumplings and wonton soup/egg drop wonton soup around. Dumplings are made in house and are full of meat. The wonton in the soup are full of meat too with a great broth. I haven’t been disappointed with anything there but those soup and dumplings are my go to dinner and it hits the spot every time.“

“Wonderful first experience. Invited to attend "Seniors Don't Eat Alone" waiter Kevin was very attentive, knowledgeable and understanding of Seniors!!! Our second experience, was again great. We joined "DINE OUT MARYLAND" and saw Libs Fulton was on the registry. Four of us had reservations at 4:00 we asked to be seated at a 6 top and the hostess just smiled and seated the 4 of us. Then noticed that Kevin was once again our waiter. He took the drink orders perfectly. Unfortunately, my BEEF & BURRATA was tepid at best. Kevin nicely removed and had remade without issue. The MOD brought my diner back pipping hot and apologized with a smile. Prior to ordering, we had inquired if the Dine Out MD was accepted and provided our ID. Keven again handled. Next another personable young man brought back the bill and spoke with us. He was informing us of the upcoming expansion of the Libs restaurants. He stated he was going to be at the new location in Towson. Great experience. All three individuals showed great customer service. BTW - our food was delicious....“

“Went earlier in the week for happy hour and had Meelena as our server…absolutely ask for her if you go!! Food is great and I loved coming here for the spinach dip and the great deal. But Meelena was so helpful and so sweet when I last went Ill definitely have to make this a regular spot!“

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

“I will definitely be back !!! The food was amazing, the old fashioned to die for, however our server Maddie is absolutely phenomenal !!!!! Highly recommend you go and should request her as well 🥰“

“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.“

“Dined on our anniversary and were greeted with a congratulatory card and glass of champagne. Our server, Lauren, was a rock star. We couldn't decide on a bottle of wine to order and she brought three samples for us to try, which made the decision easy. The food was excellent and you must try the Brussel sprouts appetizer. Save room for desert and don't skip the crème brûlée!“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“Excellent Coconut Shrimp! The sauce was amazing!! I loved the sauce and the shrimp were huge!“

“Food and service were both amazing at Topside. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. We were even brought a champagne toast on the house, and a non-alcoholic one for my wife (she had ordered an N/A drink earlier), which was a great gesture. I will definitely be back. The Sticky Toffee Pudding dessert special was a real highlight.“

“Stopped by for a late outdoor dinner. Ordered at the window and staff was amazing and friendly. Amira was especially friendly. We were devastated you ran out of cotton candy ice cream, but we still had a great night with great service.“

“Incredible food with great prices. The staff is very friendly.“

“wicked good food. super cozy and nice staff 🔥“

“Enjoyed having brunch here! The mussels were delicious and we had excellent service from Logan! Food was brought out fresh & hot, drinks were cold & refreshing & dessert was worth it! We will be back! Thanks!“

“Meal was incredible. The concept is really smart. Service was the best I’ve had in Columbia since moving here a year ago. Patrick provided stellar service as did all other staff from bartender, server and host. We look forward to coming back to explore their whole drink menu and partake in their perfect, generous, palate delighting meal.“

“Brunch was delicious and the sculpture garden was lovely.“

“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!“

“absolutely everything food is delicious👌🏼 drinks fron bar are the best❤ service excelent. beatifull place🤩“

“I took my boyfriend out for a father's day dinner last night at this great new restaurant to us. Wait was only 10 minutes. Very nice decor. Love the ceiling and lighting. The cocktails were spot on! The food was delicious. But above all else, our waiter, Nick, was the best part about this. He had great energy and attentiveness. He had the funniest quips and took care of all of our requests. Thank you Nick!“

“The food, staff, and atmosphere is always great.“

“The best kept secret in Howard County!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best Burgers and the bread pudding dessert was so yummy.“

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

“This hidden gem is one of my go to spots. The owner is friendly and helpful along with his son. The Falafel Wrap is one of my favorites and I always get it with everything including the hots. They even have a homemade sauce called “mambo sauce” and it’s delicious! I always put old bay and the mambo sauce on my potato wedges. Food is always prepared quickly and I have NOT been disappointed! I highly recommend!“

“Great local place and we have been back and will keep going back“

“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! ?“

“It is located in a very cool area of Ellicott City.. So much talent to witness on the Popup jazz night. I hate to say this but the servers are not friendly and the good is average but drinks are great and every who comes to listen are friendly.“

“A tremendous club/restaurant…the cuisine was delicious, the staff able and cordial, the establishment is clean/well run. The strolling violinist and MC were nice touches. The DJ played music that my age demographic can party to. I’m from Detroit….very impressive.“

“Great staff, great food, great drinks.“

“As an amateur restaurant connoisseur I dont have high expectations for restaurants at airports, but something needs to be said here. The Southern Slammer Breakfast Sandwich was really good! I particularly enjoyed the fried tomato and egg pairing! And the touch of mashed avacado was nice too. This would be my go to breakfast if I flew out of this airport often..“

“Surprisingly good! Airport restaurants not known for top quality but this was really good foos and reasonably (for an airport) priced. Waitress was very nice and efficient, overall service a bit slow as it was busy. I’ll return next time I’m in BWI.“

“Food and Atmosphere were great. Saw one of these in College Town that was popular, so we decided to try this one, being in the area. The three of us enjoyed the staff and food, which is tasty, modern and plentiful. Interesting collection of books that cover all sorts of topics. Will definitely return when in the area.“

“The food and drinks were great and so was our bartender. I didn’t get her name but she was a beautiful blonde. Thanks sweetie!“

“We are from Philly. Showed up on the middle of an orioles playoff game. The place and people are great!! Awesome food. Good place!!“

“The food was good and the service was great!“

“Best burgers around, I can not eat much and I love burgers and most make me sick these do not and by far are the best !!! I just wish I could try a milkshake I use door dash and there is no direct too you !! That pbutter shake looks so yummy !! This place beats 5 guys by far !! Chicken tenders my son loves too“

“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.“

“Storm is doing a great job with all of these delays. Dealing with rude customers to really sweet patient people. She has been super nice and fast even though she is by herself and she is a queen and rockstar. I’m a bartender and this woman is amazing !!! She needs a raise !!!“

“This is a diamond in the rough, but the food is really good. Despite the aesthetic’s husband and I enjoyed the lemonade tea, and their Friday and Saturday special of chicken with fried green banan and cabbage with the sauce. Of course I had to be a big back and get an order or cheese fries….i live in Georgia but I’m from up north and the cheese fries just taste wayyyyy better up north so I had to indulge.“

“A restaurant inside the Double Tree hotel. It was not busy, and service was prompt and efficient. The food was just okay. The menu has a few choices in each section of appitizers, soup and salads, sandwiches and dinner entrees. The buttermilk chicken patty on the sandwich was a bit tough and tasted like the meat had been frozen. The crab cake was good, with fresh crab and not too much filler. The old bay chips had a flavor that did not appeal to me“

“America's Best Wings lives up to its name! The food tastes exceptionally good, offering a wonderful variety of options that truly never disappoint. What makes the experience even better is the incredibly friendly staff who make every visit a pleasure.Love it“
