“We had a really great experience thanks to Irvin! From the minute he came to the table he made us feel welcome and had excellent drink, food and steak preparation recommendations. The ambiance was great and the service was top tier. We will definitely be back!“
“While at Silver Diner, I experienced exceptional service thanks to Lauryn. Her friendly demeanor and bubbly personality made our dining experience enjoyable. Thank you, Lauryn, for the fantastic service! Our group will definitely be returning.?? PS: The food was amazing too!“
“This is a nice suburban restaurant near The Mall in Columbia, Maryland. The service is attentive, and the restaurant itself is comfortable. This food doesn't push the culinary envelope, but it is flavorful and nicely served.We had the French Tease cocktail, a riff on the French 75, which they altered at my request to be less sweet.I had two small plates as my dinner. The crab cake sundae was a bowl of Maryland tomato- based crab soup, which had a ladle of cream of crab soup in the middle, and in that was a crab cake and a crab claw. It was an interesting dish, and all was perfectly fine. The waitress did not think that was enough for dinner, so I had the fried oysters with bacon and onion dressing with a surprisingly spicy black hot sauce. The oysters were small and a bit greasy, but tasty. We shared the grilled asparagus with burrata and hazelnut gremolata. It was pretty good, but the asparagus ends were woody.My companion had the scallops served with roasted mushrooms and an onion risotto, topped with a bacon soubise sauce and crispy leeks. It was tasty, but it is a very heavy preparation for scallops. I think they were a bit lost in all the rest of the food on the plate.We ended with a very nice and creamy key lime pie.So in summary, the serving sizes are quite large. The food is fine. The service is attentive. There was nothing that would particularly make me want to return, but if someone else wanted to eat there, it would also be okay.“
“We have been coming here for years and have loved every experience. From a random happy hour during the week, to a Valentine's day special menu, Iron Bridge always delivers.The wine selection is the best I've come across in all of Howard County. Their curated wine flights are delicious and perfect for an indecisive wine drinker. The sparkling flight is always my favorite.Their servers and bartenders are knowledgeable about the menu and wines and have great recommendations.For food, their burger is great, and I HIGHLY recommend their creme brulee which has a surprise nugget of chocolate at the bottom.Don't sleep on their budget wine take home menu, where you can take home bottles of high quality wine for under 15 each.“
“Had an absolutely great meat at Seasons 52. The food was delicious, fresh, and hot. Our server Ashley went out of her way to make sure our experience was memorable. Ashley is both patient and kind. She answered all our questions, and made sure we were pleased with our meal. On top of all that, Ashley has the most gorgeous smile, and that smile reflects her great personality. Thank you for making our meal so nice. Can't wait to come back.“
“Really nice to go for brunch or dinner. Pretty and on the river. Food is good and came out fast. Very polite staff. Also has a speakeasy bar below it. There is also a walking trail right across the river, you walk to historical bridge to. Great for a date. Parking is around the back from where you arrive.“
“Jen was a sweatheart I rarely see owners so involved and hands on in every day operations at restaurants. If you’re in the area you’re cheating yourself by not coming here. Chicken Quesadillas and good vibes. Pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. I’ll definitely be a regular here!“
“I love Remington's. The service is always great. The food is amazing... especially their pizza! I got the steak-n-cheese pizza this time. The sweet potato fries and the dipping sauce were on point. I took a picture of the fries and crushed the pizza (so there was no picture). Everyone is friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is inviting.Parking: There are spaces all around the building. Sometimes, it can get a little tight, so you may have to park on the street.“
“Always love coming here when I'm in the area. I used to frequent this place when I lived down there, and still go almost every time I'm back down. Brunch is my favorite, and the duck poutine is phenomenal.Staff is always friendly and great “
“Awesome interior, amazing and consistent service, and that’s not to mention the food. Best damn burger I’ve ever had in my life. Menu also lets you know what’s gluten free and vegan which is a nice quality of life feature. Highly recommend.“
“Title: "Nordstrom Cafe: A Three-Day Culinary Journey Through a Hidden Gem" Introduction: Nordstrom Cafe may not be the first place that comes to mind for a remarkable dining experience, but after spending three consecutive days here, I can confidently say that it's a hidden gem worth discovering. Day 1 - Caesar Salad with Grilled Shrimp: My culinary adventure began with a classic Caesar salad, elevated by succulent grilled shrimp. The freshness of the lettuce, the creaminess of the dressing, and the perfectly grilled shrimp combined to create a delightful symphony of flavors. It was a refreshing start to my journey, setting high expectations for what was to come. Day 2 - Mushroom Ravioli with Parmesan Cream Sauce: On my second visit, I decided to explore the pasta offerings and was blown away by the mushroom ravioli. Nestled in a velvety parmesan cream sauce and adorned with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, each bite was a revelation. The ravioli itself was tender, and the earthy flavors of mushrooms harmonized beautifully with the creamy sauce. It was a dish that would make any Italian nonna proud. Day 3 - Grilled Tuscan Salmon with Couscous and Mixed Vegetables: For my grand finale, I opted for the grilled Tuscan salmon. The fish was impeccably cooked, with a perfectly seared exterior and a tender, flaky interior. Paired with a bed of fluffy couscous and an array of vibrant mixed vegetables, it felt like a culinary trip to the Mediterranean. The flavors were fresh, and the portion was generous, leaving me fully satisfied. Conclusion: Nordstrom Cafe isn't just a place to grab a quick bite while shopping; it's a culinary destination waiting to be uncovered. With a diverse menu offering dishes like the Caesar salad with grilled shrimp, mushroom ravioli with parmesan cream sauce, and grilled Tuscan salmon with couscous and mixed vegetables, this cafe offers a hidden treasure trove of flavors. Three days in a row, I was treated to exceptional food, and each dish left an indelible mark on my taste buds. If you're seeking a hidden gem in the world of dining, Nordstrom Cafe should be on your list. Don't be surprised if, like me, you find yourself returning for more culinary adventures.“
“There's Cheers in Boston, MA and there's Fusion Bar and Grill (FBG) in Cloverly, MD. Both establishments where everyone knows your name. FBG is the quintessential neighborhood/dive bar, nestled in between Silver Spring and Olney. FBG has various bar foods, specials depending on the day, and Happy Hour ALL DAY LONG on Sunday. All menu items well well-priced and fairly portioned.Support your local business!“
“KCR is the most beautiful classic place for a meal in Howard County. The food in the past has lived up to the ambiance but in the most recent visit there were some let downs. The meal started with an excellent Brie and an excellent Riesling. The main courses were Crab Cakes and Veal Margarita. The Crab Cakes were very good but not quite as good as past visit although I still would go back for them. The big disappointment was the veal. It was a really ugly piece of veal that reminded me of processed meats. A bland marinara sauce over soggy spaghetti made the dish almost uneatable. The best part was perfectly prepared vegetables so it wasn't a total loss. A fruit tart was excellent as well. I still love the place so hopefully this was just a once off.“
“Food was good. 4.5 stars for the Reuben , it was a very well made Reuben. Homemade Sweet Tea was perfect. Friend got the chicken teriyaki with fried rice(not listed on the menu) he gave 4.7 stars. He said it was amazing just need more teriyaki sauce. Highly recommend this place.“
“We needed space and food for 40 plus people for a reception after a funeral. Could not have asked for a smoother, easier and more pleasant handling of our needs.Seth, Liz, and Neil were incredible!From the moment I contacted Seth through the planning and scheduling, to the execution of the event, everything went off without a hitch.I can't thank them enough for all they did for our family.Everyone, including myself loved all the food items we had. Thank you back of the house!!I will be returning, not only for myself, but business meetings as well.Thanks everyone at River Hill Grill.“
“I do not live in this area so therefore I'm not local ...I work for various contractors and travel quite a bit throughout the country.....and have been to quite a few establishments while traveling....this is my favorite place among all the rest.....whenever I'm back in the area I head straight to nuzzbacks.....they treat like a long lost stepchild...lol.....I feel very comfortable there...kinda like home......“

“First visit and certainly won't be the last. Had brunch and enjoyed everything consumed. Started with the Fried Oyster Deviled Eggs, which were really good. Main entrees were the French Toast and Smoked Salmon Toast. The French Toast is way too much for 1 person so it was split between 3 people and there was still a slice remaining. It was quite tasty but there was an orange flavored taste that took away from it just a little. I really enjoyed the Smoked Salmon Toast, no complaints at all and the same goes for the pitcher of Planters Punch. Our waiter, Silva was awesome, put grenadine in our glasses to enhance the punch and it was perfect. My friends ordered the Shrimp Frittata and both enjoyed it. Can't wait to come back and I forgot to mention they had live music which was nice.“

“Excellent salads. “Baby Salads” were large and tasty before our entrées. I had the shrimp carbonara which was very nice with large shrimp. 2 others had the scallops special with risotto and loved it. Large portions which we all enjoyed as leftovers the next night. Heath Bar bread pudding with vanilla ice cream was a decadent ending. Service was good, but we were seated by the kitchen which was the only minor disappointment of the evening.“
“Service was really good! I went late and they were out of some of the food I was looking at, but the bartender got me some delicious sushi! They served food after midnight, so I was grateful. The mojitos were super strong though! People were singing karaoke, dancing and having fun. Parking was limited.“
“Came here with my boyfriend and a few of his friends for dinner last Saturday. Our server was really awesome, super attentive and gracious. I ordered a cheeseburger, and it was really well seasoned and had delicious fries. Also their concept of "snacks" is a really clever thing because it kind of acts as a mini appetizer, which I really do like. Would definitely go here again“
