New American Restaurants near Hanover, MD

“Update: they got rid of the sweet and spicy shrimp noodles from the menu :/

I believe this is the best place to eat at Arundel Mills. The food is great, lot of alcohol selection, waiter adequately checks in (shout out to Shaun), and food comes out quick. The atmosphere is lively and works for formal or casual outings.

I ordered the sweet and spicy shrimp (only like 530 calories and 36g of protein). This definitely will be my go to dish from here now, got plenty of shrimp and it was well flavored.

The only negative thing was unable to order several items on the beer tap menu with waiter (couldn't find them) but everything else made up for it.

There's also likely to be a wait to sit down, so recommend calling ahead or joining their online wait-list.“

“This has became our favorite spot!! We ate there on 10/17/2024 and our waiter was Sarah.. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! She was wonderful, kind, and gave great recommendations I had the salmon with rice...im eating the leftovers now and it's even better.. Great service, great staff, you won't be disappointed“

“Great place to eat however iys the little things that needs fixings, they need to i take the feathers off of the chicken completely and the pizza's need a due over because the crust is always too greasy and limp not crunchy at all, however they also need more seafood items like stuffed “

“I had the Shrimp and lobster pasta casserole. The dish was full of lobster, shrimp and crab. It was very rich and flavorful. The dish was filling and served piping hot. My dining partner had the grilled salmon that was very tasteful as well. The only negative aspect of the meal was she felt the salmon dish was a small portion and not filling and for me the pasta dish was so rich my stomach was immediately upset before I finished the meal. She had the bread pudding for dessert. It took awhile to get, however, it was a large portion and very tasteful. Overall, I would recommend dining there and will go again.“

“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!“

“My husband and I went on spur of the moment and were graciously seated, though we didn’t have a reservation. The entire restaurant was decorated “With love” even the music was carefully selected for Valentine’s Day. The price fix menu consisted of 5 courses, one of which was a delightful palate cleanser, a champagne and raspberry sorbet. Each course came eye pleasing, delicious, and satisfying!!! The drinks were Delish as well!! Everyone was friendly, and attentive. The entire experience was a Wonderful surprise. Thank you YEBO, we will be Back“

“This is our 3rd Easter dining at seasons 52 and as always the food and service were amazing. The only complaint, and not even one really, is when I make the reservation on open table I always put in for a booth. I have an elderly father with back and hip issues and the chairs are very uncomfortable for him to sit too long. However we never get seated at a booth. I made this reservation 3 months ago so a booth seating really shouldn't have been an issue. Regardless we will be back again next Easter because like I said the food is outstanding and our server was wonderful.“

“The food was AMAZING! We can’t wait to go back!!“

“Marta manages to be both lively and cozy simultaneously in a rowhouse that previously housed Salt (one of my all time favorite upscale restaurants) We went for a friend's birthday, and all 3 courses were delicious, beautifully presented, inventive, and not the same old menu that you find everywhere. Very sweet wait staff was super attentive, educated about the food and wine and made great suggestions. Our original wait staff had an emergency and had to leave in the middle of service, but seamlessly another wait person stepped in to covered us. Kudos to the front of house team for handling with such skill and ease. But the food was definitely the star of the show. For me, the standout was the tuna cannoli. I'm not even sure I can do justice to this deliciousness with a crunchy outer "cannoli" shell with a slight hint of sweet surrounding a creamy center of tuna crudi with little dots of avocado cream. And all was covered with a pistachio "dust." The spicy meatballs were delectable nestled in a cloud of creamy spicy ricotta. And the Duck and Foie Gras Panzotti (little triangle ravioli) was creamy, delicious and the perfect combination of delicate tastes. And the Tiramisu Affogato ended the dinner on a delicious note! And for two people with drinks it was really pretty a good deal for the quality if the food, service and location. We will be back! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5“

“I had an emotionlly weird day until Aryel and D gave me the best service! They work well together, as a previous bartender/waitress myself you can spot top tier chemistry! The teamwork makes the dream“

“Food and Service was Excellent.“

“We love Pat's for delivery. They've never missed with their food, which is rare for places that also have an expensive menu. They are very good deal for the price, since they give you a lot of high quality food. They definitely have our repeat business!“

“Absolutely amazing. A true fine dining 5* experience from the service to the food. Will return again and again.“

“Awesome food and service! Sherry rocks!“

“Love this place! We have a great experience every time we visit. Monte took care of us the last time we were in and he blew us away at his personality, recommendations and overall great conversation. Felt like a friend joined us for dinner. Food is phenomenal and so are the cocktails.“

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

“i’ll never eat this good again GOD LAWWWWDDDDD 😍😍😍😍“

“We had the most magical dinner at The Charleston. The 5-course with wine pairings was incredible! Magic comes at a price but if you have the means or a special occasion to celebrate choose the Charleston!“

“the people there were absolutely the nicest to our family. the food was magnificent!! thanks for a good experience!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We went during Baltimore Restaurant week. It was our first time there but not the last. The food was so good. Our server, Dominique, was very professional and provided recommendations which were on point. We got to meet Chef Amy, which was a nice surprise.“

“Very nice place ! Very friendly staff! Great food !! Great service!! Highly recommend!!“

“Taylor was working the bar and was absolutely phenomenal! We had been connecting at multiple airports for this trip and this was the BEST service we have received the whole trip. Taylor was attentive and so friendly. It was busy during our visit, restaurant and bar was full, but we got the drinks we ordered quickly and so we didn’t even notice. Amazing experience and will definitely come back if we are ever connecting in Baltimore!“

“Quick Service. Great Food. Affordable. LBGTQ friendly! After being greeted by a friendly hostess at the door, we were seated immediately, walking into a cute rustic ambience surrounded by quirky art! We were served within 15mins of ordering with our dishes served with beautiful plating and even more delicious food. Highly recommend the breakfast potatoes and the pancakes! Would definitely come again on our next visit!!“

“I love the ambiance of this place. I went for a date night and it was the perfect romantic vibe for our dinner. The staff was attentive and our food was very tasty and reasonably priced. I wish the drink menu was a little more elevated and then I would've been truly impressed. Chef brought our food to the table and we also got to meet the manager for a moment who checked in on us, it was nice to feel taken care of. I plan to come back.“

“I eat here every time I visit the area.“

“Loved brunch here!! Great Bloody Mary, which is hard to find. Good Irish coffee. The cinnamon roll donut is worth every calorie, don’t even think about not getting it! The atmosphere and restaurant are gorgeous! Will definitely come back!“

“Friendly and professional service, love the bar!“

“Our family tried Perry's for the first time. Great variety to choose from on the menu. Greek Burgers were fantastic. The food came to the table hot. I loved the decor and cleanliness. Only improvement I would suggest is the pie slices were pretty small. We will definately come again.“

“Everything from the ambiance, the decor, to the immaculate cocktails, and entrees. They are truly a culinary experience, right in my small quaint neighborhood. Feel so lucky to be so close to them and to share the neighborhood space.“

“My husband and l attended a private party and all of the food was delicious and the service was great. Everything we tasted from appetizers to dessert was great. I had the steak frites for my entree and it was delicious. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Also of note were the Brussels sprouts. We also loved the new decor and color scheme of the restaurant.“

“Delicious food, and great service. Perfect place for our birthday brunch Saturday. Will definitely make our way back.“

“Brunch was delicious and the sculpture garden was lovely.“

“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!“

“Simply put…W O W! The history alone drew me to stop in. The food will keep me coming back! If you haven’t, why? Incredible crabs and a clean, relaxed atmosphere and staff! See y’all again SOON!“

“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.“

“My girlfriend and I were looking for a place to catch a particular sports game on a random weeknight. A big thanks to Antonio for his help in making it happen and his good service.“

“Great Place to watch the ravens! . Pros: 1.Amazing food 2.Amazing drinks.. Cons: NO SERVERS, bad seating arrangements, the seating is very weird. There are not enough seats at the front. I would recommend putting another projector in on the other wall instead of having it directly on the wall, it looks tacky, and doesn't play properly and they can set up more tables over there. I had a fun time, the food took a while but i don't mind waiting when it is so good. Top quality bar food, very impressed, will be back for another game most likely, but you guys should definatly hire some servers and fix the seating and those silly projectors on the walls. This could be the best place in Columbia to watch the game.“

“Great little local down to earth restaurant. The food was superbly prepared with attention to detail. The ingredients were very fresh and cooked to perfection.
The welcoming atmosphere makes it feel like home. We look forward to coming back every few weeks and definitely are interested in coming your way the special dinner events.“

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

“Stopped in yesterday for the first time!!! I have never felt more comfortable in a bar before. ..I can not wait to go back!! The owner is a wonderful person and the grilled cheese was one of the best I have ever had. I could go on and on....again I am already planning my next trip!!“

“Delicious food and great service“

“I’ve eaten here several times when flying from BWI, and it’s always tasty. My go to items are the Brussels sprouts and pancakes. My only complaint is service can be slow sometimes (so make sure you’re not in a rush to make a flight!).“

“Myself and my family of 13 came here for a surprise party on 2/22/25 and was pleasantly impressed. I called 2 days prior to see if they could accommodate my party at the last minute and the manager said “Yes”, without hesitation.
I had to call the day prior to change the time and the change the time without any issues.
Our waiter SYLVAN was Perfect. He knew the menu well and all of his suggestions were spot on! The manager greeted us as we were leaving and this was a nice touch to the gathering.
The food and ambiance was great. We plan to come back again. This restaurant NEVER disappoints.“

“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! ?“

“We are from Philly. Showed up on the middle of an orioles playoff game. The place and people are great!! Awesome food. Good place!!“

“Medium Rare in Columbia, Maryland, is a hidden gem that truly stands out in the local dining scene. This steakhouse offers a simple yet brilliant concept: a prix-fixe menu focused on high-quality steak, fries, and salad. From the moment you walk in, the warm, inviting atmosphere sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.

The star of the show is the steak, cooked to perfection every time. Medium Rare’s signature preparation, often cooked to a perfect medium-rare as the name suggests, ensures a juicy, flavorful bite with a beautifully seared crust. The steak is accompanied by their famous secret sauce, which elevates the dish to a whole new level of savory goodness. The hand-cut fries are crispy and golden, complementing the rich flavors of the steak perfectly.

The service is outstanding, with staff who are not only knowledgeable about the menu but also genuinely attentive and friendly, making guests feel like regulars even on their first visit. The relaxed yet sophisticated ambiance, paired with an impressive wine list, makes Medium Rare a great spot for a romantic evening, a celebration, or even just a casual dinner for steak lovers.

Every time I have been I get the feeling of a well oiled machine. Every employee seems happy to be working there and that speaks volumes to ownership but more importantly management.

In addition to its fantastic food and service, Medium Rare offers excellent value. The prix-fixe menu includes a delicious fresh salad to start and unlimited portions of fries, ensuring that guests leave fully satisfied. It’s a wonderful balance of quality, flavor, and affordability, making it one of Columbia’s must-try dining spots.

5 stars from top to bottom!“

“Stopped in after a tour of the Enoch Pratt Library, so glad we did. Atmosphere is cozy, food was very good. Our server, Megan was great. She offered suggestions on food, drinks, and dessert. All of her suggestions were on point. I would dine here again.“

“We came this past weekend for my sister’s bachelorette brunch. Scott was AMAZING! We were a party of 18 and he was top notch. The drinks and food were delicious and the atmosphere was so inviting. We had such a fun time! Thank you for hosting us.“
