We were celebrating our anniversary and the staff was welcoming and friendly from the moment we walked in. Food was terrific and not typical fare which was an added bonus. If you want to celebrate a special occasion highly recommend.

My first visit here and it was very nice. Went to a tea party. The owner came over and she was delightful and very welcoming. Our servers were kind and made sure we had what we needed. I recommend visiting 100%.

Great meal, attentive service and all with the power out and running on a generator. Wonderful evening. Thank you all!

Every meal is delicious. The attentive staff including Chef Dan himself work very hard to make sure each guest is properly treated. The building and property are gorgeous. I'd say that this is one of the top 10 places to visit in all of Maryland. However I would withhold one star because seeing rabbit on the menu makes me feel sad. I know that it's a Hallmark of fine dining, still that's how I feel. I recommend visiting for any special occasion. Try the mocktails, they are especially delicious.

Without a doubt the most delightful dining experience we have enjoyed in a long time. The wife and I have lived in the area for 15 years but had to hear about this place from an out-of-towner. I can't believe what we have been missing. from the Mushroom soup to the black sambuca, the evening was perfect.

Service was good at the start. They introduced the 3 people who would be taking care of us. They took our order and we never really saw them until near the end of the meal despite repeatedly trying to flag them down. The food was under-seasoned so we both wanted some salt and pepper. They finally brought it at the end. I had the venison duo. The filet was rather bland, small and the bone in took up most of it. The sausage was decent. The cous cous barely had any flavor. My date had a salad and complained that it lacked flavor. She barely ate it. We each had soup, an entree, and sorbet. No alcohol. The final bill was $168 after tip. (still tipped 20%). For that amount of money for 2 people, I expected a much better experience. The beginning of the meal felt like a fine dining experience and it turned out to be anything but. Won't be back and I hope this serves as a warning for others to dine elsewhere.
This place was wonderful in every regard. One of the most enjoyable dining experiences I’ve ever had. We went on Thursday June 25th. Our server was a white guy with short brown hair who spent almost 1/3 of the night talking to us, explaining the menu, detailing the history of the building, and making great recommendations. He was the epitome of what fine dining service should be. The building itself is awesome, nearly 300 years old with private dining rooms and outdoor dining. The menu was eclectic, inspired, and interesting. Containing both the fine dining classics/standards like steak and French onion soup but also tons of really bold and interesting flavors. We got the venison done two ways, the stuffed quail, the Delmonico steak (which came with a curry veloute sauce that was honestly the best sauce I’ve ever had accompany a steak), the burger, and a veggie terrine. Our server helped us build our own charcuterie board and it was one of the best I’ve had. The cocktails and mocktails were unique and tasty. 2 of our group loved the peach vinegar mocktail although I’ll admit it was a bit too advanced for me. Everything we ate was prepared to a T, met or surpassed fine dining standards, and the desserts were amazing. You don’t realize how crappy our capitalist dystopian nation’s food has become with US foods and Cysco essentially monopolizing the restaurant supply chains until you get a chance to eat food made in house from scratch. The desserts here were so much fresher and more delicious than what you normally get at places that rely on the corporate food suppliers. I could’ve easily eaten every single dessert option and then taken one of each home. We didn’t even have room to try the house made ice creams and sorbets. My favorite dessert was the pistachio apricot tart, so well balanced and very unique flavor contrast. The mango key line cheesecake was the groups favorite. And the chocolate cake thingy left nothing to be desired.

Truly, a classic experience! The set up was beautiful and wonderful looking like a wedding tent theme. Wait was a little bit once you get inside the Inn event hall tent you feel ELEVATED. The food was excellent, portions was right, staff was wonderful. They also most time have a LIVE JAZZ BAND.
The GM was GREAT, surely accommodating and professional. Thanks for treating us RIGHT

I'm writing this in hopes that others who are looking for a place where Joy, Peace and Delicious food are equally abundant decide to visit the Elkridge Furnace Inn. I am a business traveler just passing through the area. The Inn is beautiful. I dined on the front porch the first night I visited. The gardens and outdoor seating areas are peaceful and vibrant at the same time. Chef Dan's Caesar salad is literally one of the best I've ever tasted with a few unique twists added. The Wellington was much more than I could eat and tender and moist. The second night I tried Chef Dan's Cream of Baltimore. Incredible! And finally my favorite the Shrimp and Crab Madras. It is an entree that some may not like because of the variety of spices and taste, but I generally start out with the intention of only eating half of an entree and I couldn't stop with this one and finished every bite. It seemed like mostly locals were at this Inn, which also added to the uniqueness. The team members were kind and engaging! Shout out to Camille who has worked there through college and knows how to make people feel special. Also, thanks Chef Dan!!

Beautifully aesthetic American restaurant. Food is deliciously diverse in flavor profile and texture that warms the pallet. The texture on the asparagus really impressed me. I recommend treating yourself here and enjoying the environment.
