    Crab cake with Brussels sprouts and potatoes
    Te-Mika W.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Maryland Crab Soup
    Sandra K.

    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!

    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!

    Fried Green Tomatoes
    Mike J.

    Came for happy hour with a huge group. Our server should've been helped out, but he did the best he could. Customer service and atmosphere were pretty good. Ordered the: Bang bang shrimp: 10/10 calamari was a surprise. Great sauce. Crab cake bites: 9/10 very good Shrimp flatbread: 8/10 pretty cool safe bet Fried green tomatoes: 10/10 fried well, flavorful 4 Hennessy vsop: $72 2 patron silver: $28 Definitely recommend happy hour prices, everything else seemed a little pricey.

    I love the Persian style pizza and Donner kebab mix lamb and beef i'm recommended to people try Persian style pizza and donor kebab.

    Bread that looks like a high heel lol

I have never had a problem with the crabs, they are always steamed to perfection and quite tasty. I ordered a dozen medium crabs (that was the only size they had at the time) 3 were over cooked and one was extremely light. They took the 3 overcooked back and provided replacements (40 mins later) however, refused to credit the light crab. I spoke with the crab manager Jake who declined my request and he gave me the info for an additional manager/event coordinator(because I was told that they did not have a manger on site in the evening). Needless to say she supported the decision of the crab manager not to provide an adjustment for the light crab. It is not actually the fact that the crab was light but the lack of customer consideration, flexibility, and accountability for one MEDIUM sized crab.....particularly as I continued to patronize the establishment by ordering an additional half dozen large crabs later that same evening after the incident. The service was great, Gabe was a gem.

    I went to Ocean Pride around 5 PM on a Friday and parking was pretty easy…read more I only got the steamed crabs but they were really good, nice and meaty. The orange crush tasted like it was made with squeezed oranges. Paid $100 for a dozen males, which I know can change, but that's what it was today. They've got plenty of seating and even outdoor space. They have happy hour but you have to sit at the bar. Our server was very pleasant and our drinks came out fast. I am definitely going back.

We ordered two pounds of king crab leg and three pounds of crawfish, and it was not good. The quality of the seafood was not consistent. 1/8 pieces of crayfish we're excellent, but the rest were either freezer burned or super overcooked and mushy. We asked for the crafty cajun spice with the spice level at the hottest, which is fire and it was nowhere near spicy at all. It was $110 for 2 lbs of king crab legs which is a deal but the quality was just okay. Not amazing or packed with meat and a bit flimsy. Tips: 1. They do not have a liquor license at the location so I recommend BYOB! Pick up whatever you want to drink for your meal at the total wine, which is right around the corner and bring it with you! 2. Order your fried sides at the end e.g french fries. The service here is really great, and they'll bring out the fries really quickly once they're ready
