“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....“

“Walk in party of 4, sat immediately. Atmosphere was very nice. A little loud and the bass was like subtly shaking the tables but get that’s the vibe i guess. Bar Drinks took a while but food was quick and all tasted great. Server was friendly and we were celebrating a birthday so I’m glad they do something nice for the celebration. Been before and will continue to visit.“

“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.“

“Blown away by how great our event was. Long time patron moved to Florida 6 years ago. Looked for a venue to host a surprise 65th bday party for my wife with 35 attendees. I could not have been more pleased! Great menu, food drink and service were top notch. If I could give 100 ⭐’s I would. Jeanine and her team were fantastic! Highly highly highly recommend!!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“I’ve heard so much about Medium Rare, so I finally had to give it a try and it absolutely lived up to the hype!

The atmosphere is super chill, the vibes are great, and the entire staff was fantastic. Our server was awesome, and the manager stopped by a few times to check on us, which was a really nice touch. He even hooked us up with some of their seriously tasty bread to take home!

The steak, fries, and salad were all amazing. We also tried the eggplant, which is their vegetarian option, and honestly, it was really good too.

Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Topside offers a fantastic rooftop setting with stunning city views. The food was excellent overall; the chicken and waffles were a standout, offering a wonderful balance of flavors. My husband enjoyed his quiche, though he felt the crustless vegetable dish could have been cooked a little longer. Despite that minor note, we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I also brought home a bacon jalapeño scone, which made for a delightful afternoon treat. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a great dining experience.“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“The best kept secret in Howard County!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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! ?“

“This was the best meal I’ve had an at airport restaurant in all the years I’ve traveled! For of us ate here. The food quality was outstanding, service was great, I highly recommend. I had the shrimp and grain bowl and it was as good as any fresh food gourmet restaurant’s food. Amazing flavors and ingredients. Process are very fair for airport food. My dish was $20. It was pretty large.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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..“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“I was invited here for birthday party in the customer service was absolutely excellent. They were very attentive and kind. We had a party of about 20 people and we wanted for absolutely nothing. This was my first time here and I would love to come again. Our servers were manager, Ivan, and host Kelly and Taylor. They were an awesome team! Thank you all!“

“Great food and service! The new pistachio lat-tini is amazing!“

“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.“
