Continues to be outstanding, best restaurant in Baltimore !! Food is/was spectacular and no better service from the staff. All knowledgeable about the food being served, professional, polite, and friendly. It's gonna be a sad day at months end December upon their closing.

An outstanding meal, with superb service, as always! This restaurant has long been a gem, and they will be missed after they close in late December.

Tersiguels never fails to impress. The service was impeccable as always and Charles makes everything sound wonderful. We are sad to see you go, but are glad we had one last meal to remember you by.

Amazing food...all of the courses were so unique and delicious. Excellent service and great explanations for each course! The wine pairing was truly great!

Food was delicious and filling. Each plate had well made sauces. All of the courses were excellent, but none that sent us over the moon. The atmosphere is quiet and the staff friendly and helpful. For the price, we expected to be over the moon. The value was just okay and we probably won't recommend it to others since there are good meals to be found elsewhere.

The Tersiguel family has done the "country French" (Breton) tradition well for decades, and even with the challenges of the Ellicott City floods and covid lock-down of the past years, they have maintained beautifully. I have enjoyed their fabulous food, wonderful staff, and welcoming atmosphere for many a special event and (in the past) spur of the moment visits. Had a fabulous pre-fixe dinner with a friend on 10/15/2025, 5PM seating), and I can't say enough about the food, the delightful waitstaff, and warm atmosphere. After a number of years of missing going to Tersiguel's, it was grand to return and enjoy old friends.

My wife and I recently celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary at Tersiguels. We had another magical evening with amazing food and perfect ambience. This was a 4th time at the restaurant and have been fortunate to have Charlie for 3 of them. Charlie provides an experience unlike any other, full of knowledge and food story telling. We will miss this gem and are happy to have experienced it. There are not many of these places in the world.

We had the 6-course Chef's menu and it was absolutely delightful! The service was impeccable and each course was announced with a summary of the ingredients. Each portion was sufficient to sample the flavors but not so much that you could not finish all 6 courses. Although the meal was expensive by some standards (fixed price), given the expert preparation and service, it was well worth the price! Staff was very attentive and made sure to rush us as each course was presented with plenty of time to savor the flavors while not waiting between courses. Over all a thoroughly enjoyable experience!

One of our favorite restaurants within the area. Solid food and service. Quite frankly I have never had a bad meal and Charles makes sure that the service is "top drawer". The only thing is that people have to realize that the menu is fixed but is always amazing. Truly a gem. Cheers.

What a fine way to experience fine dining! The six course meal was worth the price. Make sure to dress nicely, because this is a nice establishment!

We celebrated my wife's birthday at Tersiguel's, which is a traditional place for special occasions in my family. Wonderful as always and very accommodating for special dietary needs as well. Food was delicious and with the chef's tasting menu you always end up enjoying something that you would not have necessarily ordered on your own. Great place!

Thought it very strange that the chef came out numerous times and spoke to the other table Of diners. He never acknowledged us. It didn't feel Good after spending so much money. Perhaps just hearing him say I hope You enjoyed your dinner would have been nice

My lovely wife took me to Tersiguel's for my birthday. It was a Thursday night at 7:15. We had eaten there before, and had ordered from the menu. Be advised that now they have an 6 course meal that is published on the website, but we didn't realize that until we arrived. We were a bit concerned that there would be things we didn't want. More on that later.
We selected the wine pairing, which is a new glass with every course. The cost was $40 person. 6 glasses of wine, I recommend not drinking them all if you are driving!
Our server was very good. He said he had been there 38 years and it showed. It was charming, funny, helpful and full of knowledge. He also knew when to stop talking and walk away, a true professional. Expect new silverware and glasses with each course, a very traditional French restaurant.
The food was very good, even if there were some things we didn't care for. Forgive me for not knowing the French names, but the cold fish and cold soup weren't our favorite. The other 4 courses were amazing. You will not leave hungry. It's a little pricey, our bill was $325 for two people, but you will be there for at least 2 hours. The time goes by quickly and the food is non-stop with bread served at every course as well.
Finally, the atmosphere, the building is over 150 years old. It is as authentic as it gets and it wasn't built to be a restaurant so you can imagine the tables are close together and the acoustics aren't great, but we love that kind of thing. The night we were there, it wasn't crowded so we enjoyed a quiet nice meal.
