New American Restaurants near Highland, MD

“Friendly service and great food! Our bartender was super sweet and took great care of us. Staff answered all of our menu questions with ease. My boyfriend loved the pierogi! Kind of a hole in the wall and out of our way, but we'll definitely make the trip every once in a while.“

“From the moment I stepped through the doors, it was immediately clear that this establishment operates on an entirely different level. The cuisine was nothing short of exceptional—elevated in both flavor and presentation, rivaling even the most renowned culinary institutions. Every dish was a harmonious blend of creativity and precision, truly exemplifying top-tier gastronomy. What impressed me even more, however, was the service. It transcended the standard of hospitality, offering a level of attentiveness and professionalism that felt both effortless and sincere. The staff anticipated needs before they were expressed, creating an experience that was as seamless as it was memorable. In all sincerity, this is one of the finest dining experiences I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. A rare combination of extraordinary food and impeccable service, it’s a restaurant that sets a new benchmark for excellence.“

“Seasons 52 always your best bet! We always enjoy going to eat there, and always celebrate our lunch out birthday celebrations there. The service is on point, food is delish, always a good time, only thing is the lighting is a bit dark, it was difficult to read the menu!“

“Met a friend I hadn’t seen in awhile, enjoyed sitting in the cute alcove. Not rushed at all through our meal and we ended up being the last to leave.Wonderful service. We both enjoyed the Wahoo (fish) - delicious. This place always does everything so well. The server noticed we left an umbrella and ran out to catch us - very thoughtful.“

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

“Sydney and Kendall were great. I know Kendall was first day training but he was personable amiable and professional with a great smile and upbeat personality and Sydney was also attentive and kind and we enjoyed watching them together and having them provide lovely service for our meal. It doesn't seem like Kendall needs training at all; he's obviously great with people. And Sydney was also top notch.“

“We always love Ironbridge. Our server was great. The food was fantastic and my wine very lovely. They are always careful with my gluten allergy and I am so grateful that I can go to a restaurant without worry. AND I can get excellent GF desserts. Thank you Ironbridge for making my brother and my husband's birthday dinner wonderful.“

“Enjoyed having brunch here! The mussels were delicious and we had excellent service from Logan! Food was brought out fresh & hot, drinks were cold & refreshing & dessert was worth it! We will be back! Thanks!“

“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 vegan food. Just had a special broccoli appetizer. Yum!!“

“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.“

“I recently hosted a large party here, and the staff were easy to work with and accommodated our large group. It was the perfect setting (both inside and outside). The cocktails and food were awesome, and the staff was friendly.“

“The food was amazing and the drink was sooo good!!!!!“

“This is the place I go to when I want perfectly made deli style food. I do not know why but I wake up once a week craving a meatball sub from Orion Sky Cafe. The cold cut sub is very good as well and I am slowly trying the other sandwiches on the menu and have not found one that was not either very fresh or well prepared. The chicken or beef teriyaki with fried rice is a very large portion and perfectly prepared. The specials are all very different and worth a try. The staff are super out going and very friendly. One of my favorite things in the restaurant is the old school food menu displayed over the drink station. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“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.“

“I have been to this place about 10 years ago by one of my golf members who was an army veteran. My back ground is culinary/hospitality industry and was so impressed by service and also food quality.. His family and my family celebrated our special occasions every year. Now, we are coming back here again on August 27th to celebrate his 68th wedding anniversary and their 90years birthday also. This is his wife's pick and I and he are excited for next week event.“

“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! ?“

I look forward to returning to catch sporting events on 1 of the many TV's as well as Happy Hour.“

“Your sign is blocked by trees. As first time visitors we drove right past even though gps said we’d arrived. Had to call from the car to get directions. Also need a sign for location of your handicapped ramp. It too is hidden from view.“

“We were here for the M3 after party on Friday night and the staff were all friendly and amazing. We had the sound rocking, the place was packed and the service was still fast. Great Venue with in minutes of Merry Weather Post Pavilion We look forward to working with you again for future events.“

“Another successful event held at Bushel and a Peck. This time we were in their smaller private room. They also have a fantastic, large private dining area, as well as outdoor seating. I highly recommend them if you are looking to book a private party or corporate event. Or just a date night or client meeting. The staff is great, the venue is beautiful and the food is amazing.“

“The restaurant is great for a casual night out. My steak was a bit over cooked but still tasty and was a great value for the set menu price. At first, I was a bit surprised at the small plate set in front of us. I was not expecting a second helping of the same plate to arrive after we finished the first!“

“Great food. The service was great and a comfortable atmosphere“

“It’s a chill place to be at this time a day the food is great anyone and everyone come to Ale House“

“This was my first time at Busboys and Poets in Columbia. What a great experience! I loved the atmosphere. And there were so many vegan options I didn't know what to order! I ended up getting the crispy cauliflower bites and the vegan "tuna" sandwich. Both were really good! I plan to go back often to try some of the vegan bowls, the pasta and the veggie burger.“

“I had such a great experience at BJ’s thanks to Dave and Jason! From the moment I walked in, they were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. They were knowledgeable, patient with my questions, and made everything feel easy and stress-free. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in providing excellent service. It’s rare to come across a team that’s both professional and personable, but Dave and Jason nailed it. I’ll definitely be coming back because of the outstanding service they provided, highly recommend asking for them if you visit!“

“Smoked Salmon was delicious. We dipped the bread in the Musssels. Pork and Steak cooked perfectly.“
