Great lunch food was exceptional and Service by Jaylen was awesome. We definitely will come back.
Food came out quickly and was delicious. Our server was very attentive and provided great service.
Excellent tapas style. Buy 4 or 5 small plates and share. Great drinks as well. Server was very friendly.
Hard to choose because so many things to choose from. Lobster risotto was fantastic. Will be back for the short ribs next time.
Went for dinner yesterday the atmosphere was OK. It was really loud. The bar was loud and bustling with energy so we decided to sit in the dining room, which was still loud because of the way that the building is structured. It was kinda hard to hear your other people at your table. That was the only complaint. I had the special which was a Boston Seabass, which was awesome cooked perfectly a side of garlic mash, which was also perfectly flavored.. My guy had the crabcake which was decent. I would give it at 3.5 out of five. It was a little fancy for the Baltimore area, but it was good flavor. Portion size was kind of small of the crab cake. So we ordered the seafood pasta that came with shrimp, crab, meat, and scallops. That was amazing. I also ordered a strawberry Mojito, which was good and decently strong. We finished off with a dessert, the churro ice cream sandwich that was so so. The staff were top-notch. The food came out quickly. Everyone was nice and professional and the restaurant was clean. The restrooms were clean. The only thing is I probably wouldn’t eat inside again because of how loud it is, but I think for a nice evening or day time meal it would be nice to sit outside. Will definitely come back. We enjoyed it other than the echo of the noise inside the dining room.

Bar service was slow, and cocktails weren't good. Wine was fine. Missed part of our food order, but manager did comp it, so that was appreciated. Food wasn't all that impressive. I've had better past experiences and better bartenders, but this wasn't a good night.

It was a winter evening on a weekday when we went with family and friends. The ambiance was great.
Due to the lack of available parking, we had to walk a bit in the cold, windy night.
We sampled a variety of appetizers and entrees, all of which were delicious. The vegetarians in our group had some difficulty finding options, but the waiter was very helpful, guiding them with his expertise.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
Vegetarian options: Very less options. Pasta with no meat is the one our vegetarian friends had.
Parking: Next to the restaurant there is limited parking. Opposite to Harris Teether there is plenty of parking.

Food and cocktails were very good but pricey. Nice ambiance. Good service albeit a bot slow. Would return. I do recommend
No complaints at all - especially loved the layout and decor. 3 stars simply because the prices are unjustifiably high for food available anywhere.

If you’re black and not an Oreo, DO NOT GO. They are racist. And prejudice. They sat us and the white lady next to us gave them a look and 20 seconds later told us we had to leave. Granted someone was vaping, but never said no vaping allowed, etc. immediately kicked us out and said vaping was illegal. How is that illegal and weed is legal??? lol my attorneys will be reaching out most definitely.

February 2025, Mad Chef located in Turf Valley. One of three restaurants in this upscale area. The food was excellent, but the service questionable (maybe) due to staff shortage? Plenty of diverse like-minded patrons enjoying the atmosphere and the background house music. I recommend Mad Chef to all food lovers and traveling restaurant adventurers.

I went back to Turf Valley and tried Mad Chef. It seem like they were understaffed and it took a while to service even though we were sitting at the bar. O tried the pineapple crush for my drink, delived eggs with shrimp and they were good. They were about $13.00 and came as a set of four. I also had the wedge salad, which was very good, and I had the blackened chicken with pasta for my entree. I highly recommend getting the cranberry white chocolate bread pudding for dessert. Overall, I had a good experience, and the atmosphere was pleasant.
