“Shepard’s pie is a hit and darts if not busy.“

“A thoughtful shared plates experience. We followed the wise recommendations of our server and were rewarded. Nice spot. Excellent yet not pretentious.“

“Delicious brunch and excellent service!“

“Wonderful first experience. Invited to attend "Seniors Don't Eat Alone" waiter Kevin was very attentive, knowledgeable and understanding of Seniors!!! Our second experience, was again great. We joined "DINE OUT MARYLAND" and saw Libs Fulton was on the registry. Four of us had reservations at 4:00 we asked to be seated at a 6 top and the hostess just smiled and seated the 4 of us. Then noticed that Kevin was once again our waiter. He took the drink orders perfectly. Unfortunately, my BEEF & BURRATA was tepid at best. Kevin nicely removed and had remade without issue. The MOD brought my diner back pipping hot and apologized with a smile. Prior to ordering, we had inquired if the Dine Out MD was accepted and provided our ID. Keven again handled. Next another personable young man brought back the bill and spoke with us. He was informing us of the upcoming expansion of the Libs restaurants. He stated he was going to be at the new location in Towson. Great experience. All three individuals showed great customer service. BTW - our food was delicious....“

“Finding a Filipino restaurant isn’t easy. So learning about Purple Patch thru Jo Koy—has ended this search! Literally, Filipino cuisine heaven! The restaurant is uniquely decorated, the staff were friendly, & the food hit that major comfort button for us! Thank you Zahara for being so sweet & a wonderful waitress. We can’t wait to come back for more!“

“Food choices were amazing and my server was top notch!! There were so many options on the menu. Can't wait to go back. I had the crab dip and the Kona Steak Skewers for apps. Along with Seafood Ravioli as an entree. Oh, the Jameson Whiskey cocktail was delightful as well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Not too often do I get to have French toast and French fries at the same time“

“Our son lives in the area and we have been here 4-5 since January ( every time we visit) The owners are wonderful and the staff very attentive The fish taco appetizer is wonderful ( can be enough for an entree if not wanted a big meal) I’ve had many of the entrees and never a bad meal . The chocolate dessert is my go to“

“Absolutely spectacular! The food, the atmosphere, the event coordinator, the staff, absolutely everything was top notch. We absolutely loved it.“

“Born and raised in Chevy Chase. I had never been to Persimmon until last night. WOW!!!! Probably the most consistent delicious food, exceptional service, I have EVER experienced. The service besides being attentive was so gracious, loyal sky and accommodating. Not one iota of attitude ever. Each person was so helpful so genuinely gracious. There were 7 of us. The flow was smooth, timed perfectly. Each person knew exactly what we needed before we even thought about asking. And the food... SPECTACULAR!! Scallops, mussels, oysters, spring rolls, halibut, and even grilled chicken (which I never order out because I cook it all the time) was absolutely incredible! Persimmon is my new favorite restaurant. Houston's,(Woodmont Grill.) was my absolute go to because of the consistency and the service and the food. Persimmon has jumped, leaps and bound to the top of that list even if Houston's were still in business, persimmon is now my new go to. I cannot wait to come back time after time and try everything on the menu. Thank you, thank you thank you to everyone for making our night special, it was my husband 62nd birthday his 99-year-old mom was there we brought our own cake and it was just the most magical night because of the food the drink the service the atmosphere. It was incredible will be back!“

“Medium Rare features steak frites (or mushrooms with frites) and some desserts- that's it.

The price is appropriate- you get nice, crusty bread, salad, and 2 helpings of steak frites.

The food quality is good. However, one must be partial to mustard because the salad dressing is extremely mustard forward, and so is the gravy on the steak frites.

It's a cute concept and the ambiance reflects this. Some cheeky art alongside the children's drawings up on the walls. The restrooms refer to Pepe and Penelope from Loony Tunes and in the ladies room one can listen (and perhaps learn) some flirty French phrases.

The service was a mixed bag. Our main server wasn't very engaged with our table. Despite the fact that we had gift bags on the table (perhaps a clue that we were celebrating a birthday) she didn't ask whether we were celebrating. I had also marked the Open Table reservation that we were celebrating a birthday, but that wasn't acknowledged at all. Other tables were celebrated while we were dining, so I guess those patrons directly asked for the celebratory gesture of a sparkler in their sundae/cake.

Our server also wasn't too interested in keeping our beverages full, or in bringing extra hot fudge when we asked for it with our sundae.

However, our steak did arrive at the right temperature for each of us, and they brought the steak frites refills at the EXACT perfect timing (and the refills were hot and perfect).

Medium Rare is a fun restaurant with good food at a good price- we'll return.“

“Great atmosphere and good food.“

“Food and service were 10/10. The food was delicious. I want to go back and try the entire menu. Portions sizes were good and filling.“

“Everything was great except I still cannot understand why I had been told for 3 days by BOTH Open Table AND Tower Oaks Lodge insisted to me that that we could not have a reservation for 6 anytime except 11am or 3pm. Yet how could that be when the entire time we were there (11am - 1pm) the tables in all 3 dining rooms and the bar were hardly 50% full. How could that be?“

“Absoutely loved BurgerFi at White Marsh they did a great job accommodating a 13th birthday party after an Activate event ... made for a wonderful experience. Highly recommend!“

“I definitely recommend the Cajun fries over the chicken tenders.“

“One of MD best dinners. This place would go head to head with any of NJ establishments.“

“We ate at Matchbox and highly recommend it! The food was excellent, and our waiter, Jose, provided wonderful service. It’s always a good sign when locals recommend a place—and this one definitely lived up to it.“

“A delicious dinner. We shared the peach and tomato caprese salad. Delicious dressing...would have preferred burrata instead of ricotta salata. We also had the Dover Sole and King Salmon and a strawberry peach crisp. All were fresh and scrumptious! Service was outstanding.“

“Friendly staff and good food cooked to order!“

“Great place; the atmosphere, staff, and food are amazing. 3 levels with something different offered. So much fun. Great cocktails!“

“I had the local strawberry and watermelon salad and it was the most original and delicious thing I've eaten all summer. Combines sweet and juicy with crunchy and savory, with a great house-made dressing. I wish I'd tried this place sooner.“

“Mother’s Day celebration with family was especially great because of the amazing atmosphere and awesome service at Barrel and Crow. It was our first time visiting this establishment and certainly will not be our last. Shout out to the owner and her staff.“

“Friendly, fast service, and the food was delicious! I stopped by around noon today, and there was a steady flow of customers, seemlingly both regulars and new. The nice, cold AC gave a good break from the summer heat. I heard some classic rock playing in the background. I had the steak and cheese add mushrooms with a side of Old Bay fries, plus two ice cold cups of water. I'll be back next time I'm in the area!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best Salmon BLT I’ve ever had! Will come back!“

“Just overall awesomeness!“

“This is my hometown watering hole! I live on Maui now but OTWC is always my first meal when I come home. Maryland Crab Soup and the Swing Wings is what I always get!“

“Good breakfast and fun with the juke boxes.“

“I got the spicy chicken sandwich with no pickles, baked Mac and cheese with the banana pudding for dessert. The sandwich with the red sauce 8.8/10 nice healthy pieces of chicken, the Mac and cheese 9.2/10 the top was nice and crispy and the cheese was super creamy. Now the Banana pudding 9.8/10 nice thick pudding not watery at all the wafers were perfect bringing my total score to 27.8/30. the portions are well balanced!! Yeah I plan on returning to try 3 more random items from the menu“

“Stopped in this afternoon to find delicious food and warm, welcoming hospitality. As a longtime resident of Woodley Park, Tavern 18 is the PERFECT new addition to our neighborhood! Starting next week they’ll have Trivia Night and Karaoke and Happy Hour specials 4-7 PM, Mon-Fri. Multiple TVs for hometown sports and a large patio for outdoor dining. Forewarned: crab fries are addictive!“

“Hello Sir, I accept your proposal.“

“Needed a quick bite to eat while waiting for the MVA. I met J the owner and he left a great impression on me. He was professional, very hospitable, funny, he ensured I was satisfied with how my food looked as I ordered to go. He ensured the quality of the food was fresh by informing me that my potatoes and onions were peeled and cut the morning of. I see why and how he has been in business for over 40 years! I will be back just because the service was superb and my breakfast was delicious and the price is affordable!“

“Fantastic food and fellowship with some amazing scientists and staff from NIH/NCI this Holiday season. 🎄🍭😊“

“The grilled chicken sandwich with guacamole comes with french fries. It was delicious.“

“Food and wine are never a fail. This is my spot.“

“I went to medium rare while having my family in town. I’ve never been, but heard great things so I wanted to take my family there. Best decision I have ever made. Our server Jonas was very knowledgeable of the area and great customer service. The manager I believe he said Dan came over and said hi and checked on us. We thought it was just a lucky case, but we noticed he talked to almost every table and even had non guests walking by with dogs waiting for him doing tricks. This really made us feel we were in a neighborhood staple. My parents loved everything and will definitely be back for brunch from what they explained to us ! Let’s go bottomless. P.S don’t forget the deserts ! Sundae is a must.“

“Went tonight, met the owner at the door. I was very impress and can see why it's so popular. Servers were all very nice. Food was great and reasonably priced. Got the short rib which was excellent as were the pomme puree with it. Inside was very nice and had a good selection on the menu. Almost got the pasta but glad I did not. Think a lot of the entrees were in the 25-35 range though of course more expensive stuff. It was crowded but not very loud, which was good. Solid winner, and wishing the owner the best, he seems to know about this as well as Human Misery (his words).“

“Johana made our experience at First Watch exceptional. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind from the moment we sat down. She checked on us at just the right times, made great recommendations, and made sure everything came out perfectly. Even though the restaurant was busy, she stayed upbeat and made us feel like a priority. It’s rare to come across service that feels so genuine, and Johana absolutely delivered. If you’re dining here, I highly recommend asking for her. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you, Johana, for making our breakfast such a great experience!“

“we loved Burton's in Riverdale Park, MD! food was delicious and very accommodating to allergens. extensive gluten free menu including wings, fried calamari, pasta, crispy fish, crab cakes, and more. everything was delicious and our server was super nice as well. wish there was one of these in Union County, NJ! So amazing to know all their food is made from scratch 👍👍“

“Great place for happy hour! I had a flavorful flatbread with bacon and corn and Pinot noir wine for $14. A great deal! Then I had another wine at happy hour price ($7) and a small dessert, priced accordingly ($4). Service was great. Ambiance was nice.“

“Great food and drinks. Weekend live music!“

“Good food. Excellent service.“

“Kebba made this one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. From the moment I walked in, he treated me like I was a guest in his own home. His hospitality, professionalism, and genuine kindness made all the difference and created such a welcoming atmosphere.

The food was outstanding. The chicken patty came out fresh, nice and hot, with the perfect level of spice that packed incredible flavor in every bite. And the mac and cheese? Hands down the best it gets at World Famous Grill—rich, creamy, cheesy, and absolutely unforgettable.

This place is a true treasure and a time capsule of amazing food and authentic hospitality. If Kebba is taking care of you, make sure to tip him well because he truly earns it. His warmth and exceptional service elevate the entire experience. I’ll definitely be coming back“

“Loved it, will definitely go again! Highly recommend!“

“The happy hour from 5-7 is fun, affordable, and delicious. The bartenders must have overheard our large group talking about a birthday celebrations because they treated us to amuse-bouche that made us sure to return! We love their copycat cocktail the most. :)“
