a glass of wine on the bar
JC R.

Had high expectation of this bar but during our very brief 10-minute visit it was empty and selections of wines were subpar. Still it has potential so 3 for now, until I can get a better feel of the place. Will return for a more thoughtful review...until then!

Flatbread with Pepperoni

Decent flatbread... pepperoni, burrata, hot honey drizzle, zesty. Relaxed atmosphere. Good service without being overbearing. Solid cocktails.

Totchos
Nachogirl1 ..

Nachos: I confess, I previously expressed aversion towards avant-garde takes on nachos, as I am not one who is fond of entertaining sacrilege. However, I am no pope, and my garment is no vestment. So, I decided to let down my guard and relish in a platter of loaded tot-chos. I surrendered the tortilla chip and accepted sweet potato tots as a substitution. I liked the idea, the execution could've been better. While it is difficult to make sweet potatoes crispy, these would've tasted better crispier. The uncooked diced onions weren't a great touch, again, I see the vision, it doesn't taste like it fits though. Jalapeños were a nice touch, could've gone bolder with green chiles. The cheese sauce on the side was.. ok. Like fondue cheese. "Totchos" a take on nachos, on its own is a wild idea. I applaud it, but it is not the one for me. B for effort. All else: The year 2025 has a surreal ring to it, almost frightening. While time is merely a manmade concept, with or without it, innately I reflect on past and present. This year I decided to pursue my nacho journey, and so I will begin another year on my defining quest for the perfect platter of nachos. Whether or not the strike of the hour hand defines our progression, it is sweet to think the whole world comes together to celebrate the Gregorian calendar's annual end. I sat in this beautiful, cozy, private hotel bar, and reflected on one of my favorite quotes: "For what it's worth... it's never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you've never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of, and if you're not, I hope you have the courage to start over again." Signing off.. Happy new year world x nachogirl1

Ample space, proceeding, courteous staff, and an average expanding menu of authentic Lebanese dishes, sides, desserts, and my personal favorite Turkish coffee. My best friend and I opted for two freshly squeezed glasses of orange juice just as delicious as you can enjoy in the Mediterranean and split an order of Turkish coffee very full of flavor and fragrance gave us the pepper in our step that we were looking for after a good workout. We opted for a couple of the mezze, the tabouli salad (I asked for it with extra lemon and they completely delivered, which was super delicious), an order of Fattoush salad, and an order of hummus with chicken Shawarma on top. It was a great portion for two! I took a crepe to go for the boo, I love that they have these now!! A kinder and strawberry crepe just hits!!! Highly recommend this establishment, even if you don't go for hookah the vibes are impeccable and it's a great place to go to catch up with a pal and experience a little middle eastern culture and cuisine.

Surprisingly of all the times I've been in the area and have frequented mosaic since it opened I…read morehave not tried Alta Strada. I must say I was happy with my experience. We were a group of 8 going for a surprise dinner for a bride to be. The decor was rustic and very cute. For the most part they were efficient and quite kind. The few times it was a bit slow I think it was because we were a bigger party chatting and waiting for the main guest, they didn't know when the best time to ask what we needed. So not really on them. I tried the seasonal mocktail (wish I remembered the one I got), calamari, and the penne all a vodka with chicken as my protein. Everything was presented well and tasted great. I am very interested to return to try some of their other items on the menu.

My girlfriends and I stopped in for our first visit on a Saturday afternoon for lunch, and we were…read morepleasantly surprised to be seated immediately. Service throughout the meal was excellent. Our waitress was attentive without hovering, kept drinks topped off, checked in at all the right times, and made the experience feel welcoming from start to finish. The dining room itself left me with mixed feelings. It was incredibly humid inside, to the point where it became distracting during the meal. The booth seating also wasn't my favorite. The pleather-style upholstery made it surprisingly difficult to slide in and out, especially if you're sitting toward the wall. It's a small detail, but one that stood out. We ordered family-style so everyone could sample a little of everything, which I always think is the best way to experience a menu. The Caesar salad was the undeniable star of the table. Absolute banger. The dressing tasted unmistakably house-made with the perfect balance of richness, garlic, lemon, and anchovy. It's one of those deceptively simple dishes that can be hard to execute well, and they absolutely nailed it. The carbonara was enjoyable overall with a silky sauce and great flavor, but the pancetta was cut into pieces that were much larger than necessary. Smaller pieces would have distributed the flavor more evenly and made each bite feel better balanced. The table bread with the red sauce was another pleasant surprise. Fresh, comforting, and exactly the kind of thing that keeps everyone reaching for "just one more piece." The chicken parm sandwich had plenty of potential, but it was noticeably dry. It really needed a more generous helping of marinara to bring everything together and add the moisture you'd expect from a chicken parm. One area that could definitely use some attention is the restrooms. They were functional, but they felt tired compared to the rest of the restaurant and would really benefit from a refresh or remodel. Overall, this was a solid first visit with far more positives than negatives. While I'd probably skip the carbonara and chicken parm sandwich next time in favor of trying other menu items, that Caesar salad is something I'd order again in a heartbeat. It's rare for a salad to completely steal the show, but this one absolutely did. I'll definitely be back to see what else the kitchen has to offer.

The only downside was the limited and not very clean restrooms during a busy event. First, let's give an applause to their social media team for helping me discover this place. The game day promotions caught my attention, and they absolutely delivered. The decor, atmosphere, and energy were all fantastic. You could tell Inca Social was well prepared, with a fully staffed team that stayed attentive throughout our visit. Whether it was quickly finding us an extra chair or constantly refilling our water, the service was excellent. The food was equally impressive. I highly recommend the lomo saltado, and the pasta served alongside it was surprisingly delicious. The Inca Balls were also a great appetizer with a light, crispy exterior and a savory filling. The drinks were solid as well and rounded out the experience nicely. My only complaint is that there are only two restrooms, and given how busy the restaurant was, they weren't as clean as I would have hoped. Overall, this is a lively spot with great food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere that I'd happily return to.

I had been here before and the food was not bad at all as well as the service. I decided to go for…read moreMother's Day since I had not been here in years and was hopeful the food would be the same if not better. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Food selection was smaller, food was not worth the price and service was awful. We did not have a reservation but saw several tables open. They sat us near the welcome booth as we were a family of 5. We were given menus but not enough utensils and thought eventually we would get it along with the menus. There seem to be a huddle of employees in the entrance of booth and the waiter did not show up for another 5 minutes. Another 5 minutes passed and a different waitress showed up asking if we were ready. She did not tell us of any specials and we had to ask her the price of the bistec a lo pobre which she said was $26. We also asked her about other items we saw at the online menu but she said they weren't available. We decided to stay and order ceviche, lomo saltado, anticuchos and bistec a lo pobre. My husband ordered a beer and I ordered a chicha. There was no physical menu for children and she verbally told us the options. I ordered chicken tenders and fries for my toddler. She took our orders and food came out after 15 minutes. The meat was missing the sauce the menu said it came with, the ceviche tasted very lemony and the chicken tenders were more like chicken balls. The waitress never showed up with our drinks and we decided to just eat and go as the staff seemed to want to socialize more than tend to the customers. Once we were done, we asked for boxes and the check. Apparently, gratuity was already included and maybe thats why the service was so bad? She hardly came to check on us and to top it off she was surprised when we told her drinks never showed up to please take it off check. She didn't apologize or asked how the food was. She gave us boxes and off we left. Later, we realized the bistec a lo pobre was $28 instead of $26 and we had ordered two. I just wanted to leave at that point and not wait another 5 minutes for waitress to fix her mistake. The ad, as shown in picture, said all moms receive a flower but I guess having three kids with me wasn't enough for me to get one. We also noticed when we left their website said a party of 6 or more has gratuity included but we were a party of 5. What is shown online is very different than what you get in person and if the food was great I would gladly go back for at least takeout. Food is not worth it, the service for Mother's Day made it worst and the environment was mediocre at best. Prices were inconsistent and menu is not appealing. Not sure what happened here but changes should be made at least for Mother's Day.

There is outdoor seating. Two large bar areas are inside and two dining areas, each with their own vibe. While the back (err side facing the street) has more tv's and a larger bar, both areas are kid and family friendly. There's a variety of mocktails and adult beverages to choose from. I was delighted to see a Pimms Cup! The drinks are vasty and well put together, not just with a thrown together mix. The servers are super friendly and appropriately attentive. Ours made really good recommendations. There's a very good beer selection and wine choices as well. We ordered A LOT of food (no judgment!) because trying new things is fun! The French Dip sandwich was DELISH! Perfectly executed and the roll was homemade and perfect. The best were the fried mozzarella cheese sticks - they're absolutely enormous and provide the perfect cheese pull. Don't skip the lump crab dip - the homemade baguette was the perfect compliment and the flavor was perfection. The pimento smash burger was good, but I would choose other items over this. It didn't eat like a regular smash burger and was way too overly saucy for me.

We had a few hours to kill between our teen's travel soccer and dance events (we are just…read morechauffeurs), so we wanted a place to grab lunch and watch the Ravens game. This turned out so much better than expected! They have a ton of TVs and show a variety of games. Unfortunately there wasn't a way for all 3 of us to comfortably watch, but I tried to sit sideways. The food was really good! I loved my steak and eggs which came with two crispy, garlicky hash browns. My husband thought the chicken in his dish was better than usual, juicy well seasoned and crispy chicken thigh. I didn't grab a photo, but the upside down pineapple cake was so good. The menu has a lot of choices and the prices are reasonable. Service was a tad slow. Despite signage, it was really confusing on where to enter.
