Bluestone is always one of our "go to "restaurants! We were seated in a nice quiet section. Our server was Lauren, who was fantastic. We each had a soup to start, hubby had a shrimp salad sandwich, and I had a Caprese flatbread. The flatbread was off the small plates menu, and was an 11-12" square with a really thin crust. It was much larger than I expected and was delicious. Loved that my sangria was served with a toothpick for stabbing at the fruit! We'll be back... read more

I had a team lunch at Bluestone Restaurant and it was delicious. I got the curry chicken salad and it was amazing! The flavor was spectacular and the croissant was perfect. A burger, mahi-mahi tacos and salmon lunch were also ordered at my table and everyone raved about their meals. Service was great and the restaurant was fairly busy for a Tuesday afternoon. I haven't eaten at Bluestone in years and was very happy with my meal. The restaurant is really nice and very clean. It was easy to make a reservation online. Can't wait to eat here again, soon. read more

Bluestone Restaurant - Curry Chicken Salad - American Near Me - Timonium, Maryland

Nothing says girls' night out like great cocktails, delicious seafood, and lots of laughter, and BlueStone checked every box. During my recent trip back to Baltimore, my friends and I made reservations for four on a Saturday night. I'll admit, I was convinced my GPS had failed me when it led me into a business park. Just when I was ready to question my phone's navigation , BlueStone appeared like a hidden gem. The restaurant was large and looked upscale from the outside with plenty of free parking, making the first impression even better. We were seated immediately, and the hostess greeted us with a genuine smile that made us feel right at home. The ambiance is warm and inviting with a perfect blend of casual elegance. There are several dining spaces throughout the restaurant, including private rooms that would be ideal for birthdays, rehearsal dinners, or other special occasions. Our server was attentive without hovering and gave us plenty of time to enjoy our evening. We kicked things off with cocktails, including a French 75, White Cosmo, and Blackberry Bandit. Every drink was expertly crafted, but the French 75 was the undeniable star of the night, I enjoyed it so much I ordered a second. When it came to dinner, my friends all chose the crab cake entrée and they all enjoyed their food ( they are locals), proving that Bluestone knows exactly what they are doing when it comes to a well made crab cake. I ordered the Ocean & Gulf entrée. My dish included a jumbo lump crab cake, deep-sea scallops, and Gulf shrimp served over forbidden black rice with sautéed vegetables in a honey garlic beurre blanc. Every component was cooked perfectly, and the flavors blended together so well that each bite felt like a little celebration. It was one of those meals where the conversation pauses because everyone is too busy enjoying the food. As if dinner wasn't enough, we finished with Taharka Brothers Honey Graham and Vanilla Bean ice cream. It was creamy, rich, and the perfect ending to an already fantastic meal. BlueStone exceeded my expectations from the moment I pulled into the parking lot until the last spoonful of dessert. Great service, good prices, decent portions and expertly prepared food and cocktails. Definitely an atmosphere that's perfect for everything from date night, a family celebration, to a girls' night out. This has officially earned a spot on my list of must visit restaurants every time I come back to Baltimore. read more

Sunday 5pm Fathers Day Server : Jake We were on our way to Hampden for ice cream but missed our exit and landed in Timonium. The first place that came to mind was Bluestone. It was busy because of the holiday but Bluestone has a lot of seating. I asked the 3 girls at the front for a table with good lighting. The hostess didn't hesitate and we were seated immediately. There was a Fathers Day special of 2 separate entrees . Our Server Jake told us the Steak was sold out . That's pretty good for them. Sounds like I should try the steak another day if they have it. I wanted a small plate and Jake gave me 3 recommendations: BANG bang shrimp, mini crab cakes, & Crab Spinach dip. I ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp and the beet salad. This was another "live in the moment" dinner for me. I am deciding to be more deliberate about enjoying my food and not taking as many pics. Everyone on Yelp has the same pics of the same food. The beet salad was so good. Very appealing plate. The Bang Bang Shrimp were swimming in sauce but still tasty. I really wanted to try a new red wine Jake recommendations were : JEZEBEL & Alta Pavina. I chose the Alta Pavina (a high alcohol content you may only need 1). I wasn't feeling like a Jezebel on Sunday and decided to wait for a Friday night for that red wine. read more

After stopping at the pet expo at the end of January, my husband and I stopped in for dinner. It was my first time at this restaurant and he could not recall if he had been before. We were seated on what appeared to be the enclosed patio. It looked like they probably have the ability to partially open it up in the nicer months. The server was friendly and attentive and explained the menu to us. When choosing an entree we were able to have a soup or salad and dessert. If you didn't want the dessert you could order soup and salad. I ordered the beef short rib and had the beet salad as an appetizer. He had the lamb chops with a Caesar salad and Maryland crab soup. The appetizers were good and he enjoyed his lamb chops. My short rib was not that great. The meat had a ton of fat in it and overall was not my favorite. Short rib is something I order often from various restaurants. read more

Great service by Sadie on a weeknight for 5 people. The Bluestone Salad is always a hit and this time I added blackened shrimp. Although I asked for the dressing on the side, it arrived a bit drowned. Still tasty but I'll admit that it gave me a tummy ache and thinking about it now makes my mouth pucker. I'll just order something else next time! Not much of a happy hour menu. We were there early and there was no happy hour to speak of. Salad was $25 and each glass of wine $9 so not inexpensive here. Nice location with plenty of free parking and good service. read more

I've been here twice so far. My first experience was good. It was for a meeting in a private room and everything was tasty. I enjoyed the cocktails, especially the green velvet. I tried the cheesesteak egg rolls, Caprese flatbread, bacon wrapped shrimp with barbecue sauce, and calamari. I got the firecracker salmon, and it came with potatoes and asparagus. The entrée was very small but the salmon was perfectly cooked. For dessert, we had the chocolate mousse which was divine. I returned here the second time on Valentine's Day with my husband. The service was still very good, but this time we were seated in a very crowded area, in pretty close proximity to other customers. The fresh bread and whipped butter were absolutely delicious. However, we were very disappointed with our entrées. I got the fisherman's risotto which lacked the shrimp broth flavor promised and any significant seasoning. My husband got the firecracker salmon and his portion was bigger this time than what I got initially, but he said it was slightly overcooked and not spicy as the name would suggest. The brussels sprouts that accompanied the salmon were excellent, but the saffron rice that accompanied the dish had very little flavor and was bland. We got the chocolate mousse, which was very good again, but I would've appreciated a little crunch for extra texture. I will be coming back again next month and hopefully the food is better next time. read more

I had heard so many things about this place, but was highly disappointed. The crab cake didn't have lump meat and the scallops had an ammonia taste. I had to spit them out. My husband had the steak and cake. The filet was tough to cut, even though it was cooked medium. The waitress was very sweet and the highlight of the dinner. We won't be back. read more

This visit was part of a girls weekend. Even though Baltimore is fairly local since I'm in the DMV I'd never been to this place before. On the drive up to it I'm wondering what is in this industrial strip mall? But it's a gem. The atmosphere is pretty cool inside. There are a few different zones of seating. There's the bar area, areas of long tables (great for large parties), a loft feel in some places with tall ceilings in some areas and regular height in others. The menu is vast and I was feeling like a crab cake. The crabcake was great, almost no filler, the mashed potatoes were creamy. The arugula and goat cheese salad was very refreshing and the service was attentive and high-quality. Everyone in my party of 7 was pleased with their food. a happy find! read more

Terrific food on this Thursday "restaurant night"; however, the dining area was terribly understaffed. The server tried her best but the staffing level doomed her for failure. Of course we will be back. but this will not be our first choice when entertaining friends. read more

Excellent food, quick service, vast options, and great drinks selection. We especially loved the crabcake meal.

This was my first time dinning at this restaurant and I decided to give it a try during restaurant week. The service and ambiance of the restaurant were great. I had the Yuletide eggnog cocktail, cream of crab soup, ocean and gulf entree and creme brulee. The food was delicious and I look forward to returning for more goodness. read more

Service was a 5 but the food was mediocre to poor. Had the filet and crab cake. Crab cake was ok. Filet came out cold and was tough. The very friendly and helpful waiter offered to have it remade. The kitchen just put the same filet on the grill to warm it up. Oh and it was tiny. I could barely cut the carrots on the plate with the steak knife - obviously severely undercooked. $71 for the entry and a glass of wine. I've had much better food at Chiles! read more

I came here for Father's Day. The experience was average, but I would return to have a better experience I know they are capable of. GLOWS: -I enjoyed the beet salad and the chicken fran entree. I appreciated that there were some lighter options on the menu. -Bread is complimentary, which is a nice touch. GROWS: - Our service was friendly, but a little scattered. We had to wait a while to be check on and to receive our check. We came early to beat the crowd, but I think some larger parties coming in started to overwhelm the server. -Certain utensils were not as clean as they should be. The drying techniques also left a lot of stains on the wine glasses, which took away from the aesthetic. read more

This was my first visit to Bluestone Restaurant in Timonium, and it definitely won't be my last! From the outside, the place gives off the look of a seafood house tucked into a business park--but as soon as you step inside, you're transported somewhere else entirely. The foyer greets you with beautiful artwork and flowers in a cozy seating area, and the entire restaurant is tastefully decorated, including the bar and both dining floors. We had a 1:00 PM reservation and were seated right away. Our servers were warm, welcoming, and very knowledgeable about the menu, which made our experience even better. The restaurant wasn't overcrowded, allowing us to enjoy our lunch in a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Let's talk about the food and drinks--amazing. I started with the Strawberry Chocolate Martini--delicious, smooth, and full of flavor. I followed that up with an Espresso Martini, which was equally impressive. We ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes, and I have to say, they were out of this world--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. For my entrée, I had the Seafood Club which came stacked with a perfectly cooked crab cake, crispy bacon, and shrimp salad. I swapped out the fries for the Bacon Brussels Sprouts, and I'm so glad I did--they were a hit! Every dish on our table was beautifully presented and absolutely tasty. To end the meal, I couldn't resist trying the Key Lime Pie. It was the perfect balance of tart and sweet--so flavorful and the perfect finish to a great dining experience. Overall, Bluestone exceeded my expectations. Beautiful ambiance, fantastic service, and food that hits all the right notes. Five stars all the way! I'll definitely be returning to explore more of the menu. read more

Loved my first experience at Bluestone! Went for lunch during Preakness weekend and was pleased by the experience - our server was attentive and so kind , as were the other employees we came across. All entrees were fantastic - I love that they served the mahi tacos with additional salsa on the side! Don't sleep on the side of brussel sprouts - they were a highlight of the visit! Crabcake sandwich was also very good, with a good ratio of crab to breadcrumb The perfect place for a nice lunch or a casual dinner - each nook of the restaurant had a slightly different vibe which fits any occasion! read more

We had a reservation for 11 and then 4 more people. No problem. They sat us quickly. It was Sunday and we got the three-course meals. I got the beet salad and it was delicous. According to my husband and sister, the NY strip was delicious. My sister got broccolinni and said it was perfect. Crabcake was perfect. So were the brussel sprouts and roasted potatoes. Our waitess Chloe was very efficient. Overall, very good first-time visit. read more

After spending the afternoon at Towson Center, we headed to this super popular seafood restaurant and it did not disappoint. The place was packed , but the staff were really friendly and quickly brought us to the spacious and modern indoor dining area. The seafood was easily a 9 out of 10 overall, and here's how we'd rate each dish: Two-Way Tuna - 9.5/10 The raw tuna was incredibly fresh, smooth, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The fried rice underneath was full of flavor and paired perfectly. This dish really stood out. Crisfield Stew - 9/10 A hearty portion loaded with shrimp, scallops, and fish. The sweet and tangy tomato broth made everything even more flavorful. Perfect comfort food. Complimentary Bread - 8/10 Soft, slightly chewy with a gelatinous texture. Surprisingly addictive. Salad - 7/10 Light and refreshing, good as a starter but nothing too memorable. Crab Soup - 6/10 Pretty average, didn't quite meet the bar set by the other dishes. Overall, a great dining experience. A lovely spot for catching up with friends or enjoying a cozy date. read more

I dined at BlueStone again with some friends and we sat in a really nice, well-lit area. Food- I enjoyed everything. This time I chose the Ceassr salad over the soup and was very satisfied with how crisp and fresh the lettuce was along with the shaved Parmesan cheese. The bread was warm and soft as if it had just come out the oven. The crab and artichoke dip with pita bread was a shareable and delicious. My margarita with a little extra simple syrup was extremely good. I ordered the salmon with spicy sauce and double Brussel sprouts which I only took a few bites from due to being stuffed. What I tasted was mouth watering. Not to mention, it was great having it as leftovers the following day. I did eat my crème brûlée . Our server, Savannah was on her A game. Super friendly, great personality and didn't miss a beat. She was the bomb.com. I will definitely be returning. One more thing, I love the three course specials on Sundays! read more

We came for restaurant week lunch on a Sunday but it turned out they didn't offer the lunch option since they always do a "restaurant week" style menu on Sundays, so we ordered off their dinner menu. Wish the website had been updated to reflect this! Mini crab cakes: 3.8/5, they had a great amount of meat but it was a little salty and could've used more sauce Maryland crab soup: 5/5, nice deep seafood and tomato flavor, generous amounts of crab, and salted perfectly! Crisfeld stew: 5/5, again generous portions of seafood, scallops were cooked well which I find rare in stew since they tend to get overcooked! Bread: fresh bread to accompany our meal and was a perfect add to the soups Mousse: 4/5 a little too sweet for us but great texture Our server was a little rude when we were asking questions about the menu discrepancy. Not a great way to start off the meal but the other servers at the restaurant seemed kind and helpful without attitude! read more

We met friends for a Saturday night dinner. This restaurant has been on my list for a while so I was super excited to give it a try. Their menu did not disappoint. From apps to drinks to entrees and dessert, everything was delicious. No Notes. I do wish they had crab dip. My husband wasn't a super fan of the cream of crab soup but admittedly, we are crab snobs. The bacon on the bluestone salad should be sold! Delicious! My broiled crab cake was very good. Little filling, and mildly seasoned so you can taste the crab - just how I like it. Everyone enjoyed their drinks and their food as well. Our waiter was attentive and kept bread and water on the table. It's a beautiful setting inside and out, and there's a great bar area if you want to just stop in on a whim to watch a game with yummy apps. I would return! read more

Food is just okay. Nice atmosphere and good drinks. A good group spot with no frills.

Great food and ambiance. Lunch or dinner meals are nicely priced with a variety to choose from.

Food is consistently good! Service is usually top notch.And I love the porch dining! You also can get carry out!

Always a great experience. I used to get the Crisfield stew. Great broth, lots of seafood. But last time it seemed to have less seafood, so I switched to the crab cakes. I liked them even better than the stew!. I've gone on weekends, weekdays, and it's always crowned. That's the mark of a great restaurant. The smaller rooms are less noisy. HINT IF you can see the bar from where you are sitting, you will likely have a more noisy meal. If that bothers you, ask to be re-seated to a quieter room read more

I came back to Bluestone for lunch after all of these years. I ordered the shrimp tacos with sweet potato fries. It was good and the sweet potato fries were good.

To say we LOVE bluestone to eat 2-3 times weekly is an understatement! We have many celebration dinners and parties there. But tonight was beyond disappointment! They advertised surf and turf for $39. A deal- right? No- they ran out of the special at 6:30- right in the middle of most dinnertimes! The baited you to come in - then don't have the product to serve. Poor planning. Just poor planning. Period. And the manager on duty didn't have the courtesy to come over , speak to us or offer any apology. Or make it right. He made the server tell us- not once but twice when they thought they had a one left-- but didn't. Guys- very poor planning to run out so early. I know you are trying to increase your business- a very slow summer for you- but disappointing loyal customers was NOT the way to do it. You can do better! read more

Amazing hosts. Great food. Great atmosphere and music. Happy hour and deals are good too.

Great things stay great - as do great restaurants. Last year we visited Bluestone on V-Day and guess what? We did again this year! Many comments I made last year in my Bluestone review remain equally valid: 1. Grace under pressure - Restaurants can display managerial weaknesses on Valentine's Day. Even good and great restaurants, which can get crushed by numbers of holiday celebrants. V-Day may be one of the busiest nights of the year for upscale restaurants. However, the best of the best shine through under the pressure. So was the case with Bluestone on V-Day 2025. Management acumen made the restaurant not seem overly crowded or too bustling but clearly every seat was filled. Bluestone manages its reservations and wait-list with aplomb. 2. Food was wonderful per its lofty standards - We expect greatness at Bluestone and it delivered. Again. The Crisfield Stew never disappoints. Big hunks of fresh seafood in a very tasty broth - like bouillabaisse crossed with Maryland Crab Soup...." I had the highly excellent crabcake-stuffed-flounder, served on a bed of very tasty seasoned rice - sort of a risotto. We devoured the super-hot, fresh rolls while enjoying a couple of perfect cocktails featuring blackberries. Our newish waitress Lauren was rock solid (Kelsey last year probably cannot be topped). All told we dropped $143 but Bluestone is worth every penny. . So what's stopping you? Go to Bluestone. read more

Great food, service, and all over restaurant! The bar is very well decorated and aesthetically pleasing, along with the amazing welcoming crew of hostesses! read more

This is a top-notch seafood joint in the area. Jake is a really good waiter and the whole restaurant staff seems to have a nice professionalism to them that is often lacking in other places in 2025. The food has been really delicious each time I've come here, most recently I got some seafood medley that comes with a Maryland crab cake and shrimp and scallops (see picture) and everything was delicious. It is a little bit pricey for what you get but the way this place maintains its classiness almost doesn't make you feel so bad for spending lol. read more
