“At a recent visit, we ordered the Family #3 (1 whole rotisserie chicken plus 2 Large sides). The chicken was amazing, it's definitely enough for 4 people.; The large size of the sides was enormous & enough for 4 people. The fired plantain side had 15 pieces of plantain in it.”

“Real Italian cuisine is served here in ample helpings. Mama's Favorite Caesar salad can be split for two people. It's loaded with soft fresh mozzarella, artichoke, & sundried tomatoes. It's my favorite, too. The lasagna had so much of the wonderful delicate tomato sauce, it was covered. This is the real authentic lasagna of Italy. For a tasty pasta with a kick, the Salmone Al Pesto has a marvelous creamy pesto sauce, & a heaping of small fresh button mushrooms. They say it's only 6 oz. of salmon but the whole plate was covered in large segments of it--it's large enough to take home for a second dinner. Mama had made her own Tiramisu. The delicate sponge soaked with flavor is something not to be missed. Get it when you can. The service from Madison was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable & extremely helpful. This is a wonderful place for authentic Italian meals.”

“I don’t know who needs to hear this, but their $1.50 mimosas and bread pudding with vanilla sauce are worth a visit for their Sunday Brunch! You will NOT regret it!!!”

“Today my daughter and I went a little far afield, starting in Baltimore City and driving through Baltimore County as far as the tippy little edge of Hartford County where we enjoyed coffee at this fantastic classy Dunkin. We ordered from the car upon arrival using the app, and our coffee awaited us within. Good coffee and plenty of birds flying overhead”

“First time at Libs Bel Air! Went on themed Movie Brunch 7/14/24. Loved the classy way it looked. Food and service was good! A lady named Dani came over to check on us and was so welcoming she even looked like she was handling all that was going on an we were impressed. Will be back!”

“We always have an amazing experience at Libs. My son has a very hard time with eating and they NEVER let him leave hungry. Even when I insist “it’s fine” they refuse to settle for anything less than perfect! I was initially nervous to bring him there because of what an upscale place it is, but they prove that upscale doesn’t have to lose that family aspect. Now, I don’t know if I’ve just been fortunate to be around really well behaved kids when I go there, or if their behavior is reflective of the amazing service provided, as staff always treats my kids with respect, speaking to them like they belong there. Tonight my son left with a full belly and a big smile because Mr. Derek “was so nice!” for making him feel seen as a valued customer and not a needy kid with a medical issue. And even when I go without kids, Libs delivers for the perfect date night vibe. I love a restaurant that can do both! The food is spectacular, the ambiance on point and the service especially top of the line. I will sing their praises to anyone that will listen!”

“The best desi food in the area! Love their palak paneer, chicken korma, chicken byrani, and garlic naan! And the staff is very friendly! Also very understanding. We ordered to the wrong location and they honored what we had ordered and made it for us anyways. They are fabulous!”

“I love Cozy Cookies, so much I wanted to send them to my family in FL. The cookies went on a fun 2 week trip that ended up back at the store.🤦‍♀️ I decided to pick them up, as we can't let these cookies go to waste. The owner was very nice and replaced them all, even though it was not the stores fault. 🥰”

I could go on on this.. Alex is thoughtful, he is friendly, engaging, a hard working employee, and a thoughtful addition to and for your customers, He also Speaks both Spanish and Brazilian”

“A great place to eat, drink and be with friends”

“Last night the girls and I went out for dinner and let me tell you!! From the moment we walked in the establishment was nice and clean. The gentleman taking the our order was very respectful and polite. I ordered my food first and by the time I sat my stuff down to go get my drink. By the time I was done making my drink my food had already been placed on my table! The food came out super quick! We had ordered dessert as well the lady didn't rush to bring it out. She checked with us and offered to bring it out after we were close to being done with our food! (Those Nutella knots!!!!) The owner just happened to stop on a night off by but he noticed a birthday party. He was very sweet and came to thank the girl for celebrating her birthday at this establishment and sang her happy birthday! I'm sure he is a very busy man but he took the time to show he cared and was thankful which was amazing! When we stepped outside we were attempting to take our group photo and the owner noticed us and ran right up to us and offered to take the picture. We then had a great 20 minute conversation letting him know how much we enjoyed our food and engaged in friendly conversations! He was very sweet and very friendly to talk to! I have never met an owner so willing to just stop and engage in conversation with multiple of his patrons! We will be back very soon! You should visit as well you will not be disappointed!”

“I just have to share the fantastic experience we had tonight. My husband and I went to The Local around 6:30 pm (prime time without reservations lol). The only available seats were a high top table in the bar area. They asked us if that was ok and we said “sure”. Within a minute or so after being seated, it became apparent that our vision of a nice relaxing dinner would be impossible in that room. The Preakness was about to begin, and that bar was loud and hopping! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, I love to see people enjoying themselves. It was a party, but just wasn’t our vibe tonight. We decided we would go elsewhere. We politely informed the hostess that we were going to leave because it was just a tad too noisy, but that we would definitely return again soon. We stressed that we were not mad, or upset. As we were walking to our car, a very nice gentleman followed us out and asked if we would consider returning if they could sit us elsewhere. We said “Of course!” We didn’t think there were any other available tables, but he said they would work something out for us. We told him we didn’t expect them to go out of their way for us and that we could wait. Within five minutes, we were seated at a lovely table in the dining room. We later learned the gentleman that helped us was none other than the owner/ executive chef Zack. We went on to have a delicious dinner with the most attentive and charming server. They demonstrated exemplary customer service, which sadly is lacking in many other establishments. We weren’t expecting any special treatment, but they certainly went above and beyond for us, and it was very much appreciated! When we were leaving, Zack happened to be outside, so he made sure to ask how our experience was. We told him it was amazing, and that his restaurant has been one of our favorites since it opened. We told him we would be back soon. Our experience there tonight is just one of many examples why this restaurant stands out, and why we will always highly recommend them! Thank you all so much for proving customer service is not a dying art!”

“Gretta was great. Had 1 bad crab out of 12 Kate replaced no problem and no questions asked.”

“Love Conrad’s. Have never had a bad meal there. Service is always good. My husband and I were there tonight for the crab feast Monday, crabs were delicious.”

“I really enjoyed the restaurant. I was skeptical at first because I had never tried Jamaican food because I do not like spicy food. This restaurant has definitely changed my view point. The waitress Marlene was fabulous. I will give them 100 stars. 5 is not enough.”

“Their pizza is the best! Especially their tomato broccoli pizza.”

“best poke i’ve found in the harford county/baltimore area. owner is kind and recognizes my partner and i when we come in. boba and sides are also great, i always recommend this place for delicious poke for a great price with excellent portions and flavors.”

“The crab dip is amazing, big hunks of crab and so creamy! The seafood platter is so worth the price. The waitress Brooke is awesome and has such a great sense of humor, she was the best! The owner even came to the table to ask how things were. We live in Dundalk and it is so worth the drive. Oh and the deserts are so good too! Great prices, great staff and great atmosphere!”

“We come to eat at the Rosedale location maybe once a month. Even on long waits when we are extra hungry, we always request Draven because he is a rockstar! Our drinks are never empty and requests such as extra napkins, gloves, bibs etc are always met expeditiously. We never have to wait long for food and it is always fresh and hot. Our family are creatures of habit and we typically get the same thing every time. Let’s start with the clam chowder. A generous bowl with a heaping portion of clam. We especially enjoy the crackers on the side for our picky toddler to nibble on. For dinner I always get the Cajun boil with the hook n reel blend *spicy* with sausage and hard boiled eggs as an add on. I like to get a 20 oz. draft ipa. It pairs very well with the spiciness of the boil. Our toddler usually ends up with tenders and sweet potato waffle fries. Recently she has started to eat broccoli (hallelujah!) so we get that on the side as well. For a family of 3, we spend around $130. If you request Draven, please expect to be amazed by the service and expect to tip at LEAST 20% for impeccable service. For those bad at math, 20% of $130 is $26, which I like to bump up to $30. Sorry this was so long! If you got this far, enjoy your dinner at Hook n Reel in Rosedale. We always do!”

“the food tastes great. My wife and I love their food. That red sauce is so so spicy. Definitely get that sauce on the side.”
