    ALTA Pavina & The Jezebel were the recommendations
    ebony J.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Fisherman's risotto
    Ashley Y.

    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.

    Shrimp salad sandwich with sweet potato fries

    We stopped to dine at Bluestone once again on our way up 83 N. They offer a Sunday special, which is a three course option. You can choose any soup or greens, an entrée, and then dessert. It was very tempting, however, we were only ordering for lunch. To start they gave us a warm, crusty rolls, which were yummy. Hubby enjoyed a bowl of Maryland crab soup and the shrimp salad wrap, and I had a chicken and avocado salad, which was fresh, delicious, and enormous. I took half of it home for lunch tomorrow! Cage was a great server. Both personable and attentive. This is a large, clean restaurant with a nice clean bathroom as well as a full bar. Lots of private spaces for a larger party as well. Employees were all very friendly. Definitely not our last time here!

    Crab cake with Brussels sprouts and potatoes

    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!

    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.

    Shrimp salad wrap

    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.

    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.

    Mahi Tacos with Brussel Sprouts
    Annie C.

    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!

    Bluestone Salad
    Qinyue H.

    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.

    Ceasar salad
    Camille N.

    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!

He was always so friendly to everyone, kind to everyone, and he was just so sweet every time I was around him. With that said, I always had any cake for any occasion made by him. I've referred him to others for their cakes, etc. every cake has had such detail focused on and Jason is seriously the king of cakes! For our wedding, if you can't tell from the pictures, I was SHOCKED when I saw the cake. The preview picture was ok, but this cake dropped jaws on the floor! A three-tier cake that embodied our horoscopes, had rainbows in it, crystals, a red carpet, and the moon and stars as a cake topper! All was genius! It was a red velvet cake with cream cheese and strawberry filling. I didn't want to freeze it because it is so freaking delicious! Overall, I wouldn't have gone with anyone else for my wedding cake but Jason and the cake was made with such love and inspiration!

The storefront was very clean, and they had so many amazing cakes on display for just about every event you can name. We spent about $19.90 for four cupcakes. We tried the red velvet, black bottom, birthday cake, and carrot cake. All four were enjoyable. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give the cupcakes a 5.6. For my personal taste, the batter could have been a little sweeter, and I felt the frosting could have used just about a tablespoon more butter for a richer flavor. That said, I definitely recommend stopping by and trying them for yourself. It's a nice family treat, and the cupcakes would also be great to take to the office! Cup Cakes Up !

Seating: The space is not big enough to host people but there's a table or two for pairs right outside. Vibes: Welcome to Mid-Govans, Baltimore! It's a grit and grind area but definitely a nice local residential spot - a diverse area with some nice local gems. Jinji's shop is pretty nice - small intimate but vibrant! I dig the neo-soul music playing and the see through window so you get a glimpse behind the scenes. FOOD/DRINKS: Date Poppers (Recommend) Dates filled with cacao nibs, honey, sea salt, and dark chocolate. I enjoyed the natural sweetness and the chew texture of the dates. Teh cacao nibs gave a nice crunch with an earthy flavor. Peanut Butter Turkish Figs (Recommend) (3 per person) Figs stuffed with creamy peanut butter ganache and enrobed in rich dark chocolate. I can see why they limited this per person. Soft, chewy, and sweet figs with a nice caramel touch to it. The peanbut btter ganache was smooth and nutty and the dark chcolate helped bring some good balance. CUSTOMER SERVICE: I worked with Guy (father of Jinji). Great guy that was very professional and personable TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Ooooi! If you're looking for some elevated local chocolate, this is your spot. Yes it's a bit higher than your usual chocolate shop but that's what you pay for. When in Baltimore, do consider visiting this place. I wish Jinji and her business all the best. #SupportBlackOwnedBusinesses TIPS: * Ask about their limited-edition or seasonal bars -- they rotate in creative flavors and specialty pieces. * They got vegan options too!
