After trying to get ideas on their website, Alexis reached out to me directly and sent me sample pictures of the tower design. She was so friendly and extremely helpful. She definitely left my mind at ease with her warm personality. Not only was the donut tower GORGEOUS but it was also delicious. The flavors I chose were the strawberry crunch, banana pudding, fruity pebbles and the Oreo. These were all delicious! All my guest and I were very impressed with everything. I am so thankful to Alexis and her team! I will recommend this place to everyone I know for every occasion, even just a sweet tooth. And ofcourse I will be going back :)

Saturday 1/10/26…read more I've been eying this dessert spot for a while, and today I made it happen. I ended up getting the apple pie cinnamon roll $11.95, biscoff banana pudding $9.95, and the MEGA cookies n cream shake (sub for a chocolate chip muffin) $28.95. - Service was solid and helpful. - Although the apple pie cinnamon roll $12 price tag is a bit much, I still was able to enjoy it. The toppings were nice, especially the cream cheese, but the dough was underwhelming as it was a bit dry and slightly firmer than I usually prefer. - The Biscoff banana pudding was the main pick the staff member recommended, so despite not being the biggest banana pudding guy, I had to try it. Unfortunately, it wasn't anything impressive, but it was cool. Also, the biscuit taste was more so in the background. - The shake was pretty good, but not $29 worth by any means. The cupcake that I got with it LOOKED GREAT, but I can't say the same for the taste, as it was just alright. The Oreo donut was solid. All in all, I'm not really crazy or impressed by any of the items and definitely wouldn't spend that amount of money again (especially on the $29 shake), but I enjoyed the experience. -- #issa.cheatday

This is BY FAR, the GREATEST ice cream! Seriously. You have to go every week (Sundays May until…read morethe end of October) in order to get your flavor because he sells out quickly. You will never get flavors like the ones he creates. He previews the flavors at the quaint local farmer's market in Bowie and you can look up his business on Facebook to get the ice cream flavors ahead of time. Come and try the flavors because he will give you a spoonful of a sample. It is totally worth the $8.00. I know this week, I will be buying every flavor. I can't help it. My family is totally addicted. My daughter from college even calls or texts me her order so that I can pick it up. It disappears fast in my freezer. Eric, the owner & creator of Edesia's ice cream is a great guy and he is super friendly & nice; he uses no freaky additives or preservatives. It's sooo good because it's all natural. GO early, before I buy out all the flavors of the week! Really.

Nekter has very cozy seating and it's also spacious inside, so I dined in. They make fresh juices, smoothies, and others. I ordered the açaí banana berry bowl, and it was delicious.

I plan on going back to try some of their fresh juices!

The place had great bright, clean nice couches ambiance- but it did take awhile as the only people there to actually get our items because they fill a lot of doordash tickets behind the scenes.

This Rita's is a small joint right by a handful of other restaurants. It seems to be in a quieter area and we had no trouble finding parking on a weekend afternoon. Service was fast and efficient (and also helpful when I was debating on what to get). What we got: Mango-Peach Misto Shake (vanilla custard) - 5* smooth and refreshing. A great sweet treat and I'd get this flavor again. I loved having the custard mixed into the Italian ice, I think it really enhanced the texture and would rather have the custard mixed in than separate. (See below) Strawberry Lemonade Gelati - 4* instead of having the custard mixed into the Italian ice (like the Misto) you have custard on the bottom, Italian ice in the middle, and custard on the top. The strawberry-lemonade is a 5* flavor. And on its own the vanilla custard is a 3*. The custard is very creamy, smooth, and slightly fluffy. Almost reminiscent of cool whip. While it tastes alright mixed with the Italian ice I don't think I'm a big fan of it on its own.

So, we came to the logical conclusion that ice cream sounded like the perfect dinner one recent evening during the heatwave.

We told our server we were newbies and he happily walked us through the process of selecting an ice cream flavor and some toppings to mix together. We wound up with 2 delicious sundaes. If you're ever considering an ice cream dinner during a heatwave- this place will fit the bill!

So we drove a good 30mins to get here, with anticipation from seeing this restaurant on a travel channel, but the original location is in NY. We get there, and its plenty of free parking. We ask for seating for 3 and we are told they are only seating individuals who booked a reservation. Totally understandable considering its Valentine's day. I dropped the ball folks. I didn't make a reservation. So I noticed a bar lounge which we were told we could wait for a seat to open up. As we were waiting a coupled jumped in front us and took a seat. The manager Claudia came to the rescue like the dark knight but with more grace. She mentioned she was willing to put us on the list for a table in the main dining area. I accepted her kind gesture and continued to wait for bar lounge seating to open up. A couple was kind enough to come over to us and ask if we were waiting for bar lounge seating. They offered their table to us as they were ending their night. There was a 2 man band playing in the lounge area that was very soothing to the ear. As I tried to help my mother get comfortable at the hightop table, I noticed she was having a difficult time getting seated in such a high chair. Guess who came to the rescue, you guessed, Claudia! She's the best, 100 grand, made me a real fan. So she came over and said our table was ready if we wanted a booth seating and we all know that's the best seats in the house. All I could think is look at God. The wait wasn't even long either. 10 out of 10 for saving the day. In addition our waitress was such a sweetheart. I mentioned a white malbec I saw on the menu that I was astonish to see b/c I never knew of such a thing. She bought me a small glass to taste and my God, I am a true believer Jesus turned water into wine. Its so clear like water but the taste is amazing. The food is so delicious. The restaurant is very clean. The staff is very personalable. Everyone cartered to us. You would have thought we were the Obamas or something. As we were stuffing our faces, Claudia comes around handing out roses to the men/boys to give to their dates. Complimenting my son and his daper outfit she hands him a rose and tells him to give it your mommy. At the moment he lights up with a big smile as if he paid for the rose himself. I can tell he felt like a gentleman and good that he could give his mother a red rose on Valentine's day. That small gesture was very thoughtful and appreciated. I apologize for my essay, but they desired it. I love the service, the ambiance, the food, and service. I haven't seen my mother smile so much in a while. So it bought me great joy to give my mother this experience on Valentine's day. I thank Nonna Angela's staff for such a wonderful experience.

The two pianist did no dueling at all; they did mostly duets or took turns taking requests. I was hoping to witness a musical battle. In addition the food was horrid. I ordered the stuffed shrimp with the mushroom risotto but twice my shrimp were undercooked literally gray lines still on the shrimp. When I asked for melted butter for my broccolini I was given cubes of cold butter. I then ordered the short rib having given up on the shrimp and the short ribs slow cooked would surely be done and savory however the carrots could not be cut with a knife at all. I returned the dish and decided to give up. My partner ordered the fish and chips but the fish and chips had a charred old taste as the grease was old and therefore the food had a Smokey taste. I looked at my surroundings and everyone pretty much ordered sandwiches and fries of which they left ample amounts of food untouched. As for the drinks the holiday margarita was mostly ice, very thin small glass and there was no edible glitter in it as promised per the menu. No beers on draft. U had spoke highly of this place after my experience with Chef Ahmad but since I regret I can no longer speak highly. Last but not least the grinch and Santa were the personality for the evening and carried the energy. The waiter due to me not having any food did not comp, send over a manager or right the wrong. I will not return nor recommend. Either do events well or food well; this event was a miss on both. We left early as the event was mediocre at best but also I was hungry and in need of food.

For our entrees, we ordered the meatloaf, prime rib, stuffed shrimp, and Irish Whiskey Glazed Salmon. They all came with your choice of sides. My friends enjoyed their meals, but I was not impressed with the glazed salmon. My salmon was not completely cooked when it arrived, so I suggest telling the server if you want it medium or well done, etc. The server corrected it after it was sent back to the kitchen, which was handled well, but I personally didn't love the bacon flavor in the glaze. That said, they have a new chef and an updated menu, so maybe I will return to try something else. Overall, it's a relaxed spot for food and drinks.
