Our first visit to the Lost Lion definitely won't be our last. Braydn was our server, and her…read moreservice was exceptional. Another food runner also deserves recognition because he was incredibly motivated and on top of everything. Their timing was perfect. Braydn seemed to intuitively know exactly when to check on us, refill our drinks, and ask if we were ready to order. She was genuinely friendly and looked like she truly enjoyed her job, which always makes for a better dining experience. We sampled a few cocktails, and my White Cosmo was absolutely delicious! For dinner, I ordered the Oh My Mahi, and "oh my" was exactly my reaction. The moist mahi mahi was served over a bed of saffron rice and topped with an Asian slaw. There were so many layers of flavor, and every bite depended on how you attacked it. I started by dragging my fork through the hoisin sauce and picking up some rice, fish, and slaw all together. The temperature and flavor combinations were remarkable with the hot saffron rice with just a hint of hoisin, the fresh, flaky fish, a pop of ginger, then the cooler, crisp crunch of carrots, cabbage, red onion, red pepper, and I think spinach. Every bite was different, the presentation was beautiful, and the meal was simply amazing. My husband ordered the Papa Burger, a clever play on "jalapeño popper." It featured two flavorful patties topped with bacon, jalapeño jelly, cheddar, cream cheese, sautéed onions, and fresh-cut fries. I stole one bite...then another...then a third! I'm officially renaming it the "Oh My Poppa Burger" because it may have been the best burger I've ever tasted. That says a lot because I'm a traditionalist when it comes to burgers. I'm not even a bacon fan. Yet somehow this combination just worked. What is in that cream cheese, bacon, and jalapeño jelly combo that make this burger so ridiculously good? Next time I'm in a burger mood, I am coming here! But everything looked so good so I may be back before that burger mood strikes. The only reason I'm giving Lost Lion four instead of five stars is that my husband would have loved to add a simple slice of tomato and some lettuce. We were hesitant to ask because we know substitutions can snowball, and we quickly got the impression that the chef preferred not to alter the menu as written. He didn't even dare ask for a side of ranch for the fries after this. If small additions like lettuce or tomato were an option, even for a small upcharge, it would make an already fantastic burger even better for some. That said, between the outstanding service, creative and delicious food, excellent cocktails, and warm ambiance on a Thursday evening, The Lost Lion made a wonderful first impression. We'll definitely be back.

This place came across my IG, I think?! It doesn't matter how I stumbled across it but I'm glad I…read moredid. The food was amazing. The restaurant is huge and well set up. The bar area is in the front. The main dinning hall and private dinning area are off to the left of the bar area. I went in pregamed!!! I knew what I wanted and went straight to it. The complimentary bread and dip was not expected but was greatly appreciated. The bread is warm and that dip, that dip....so freaking good. It's tomato based I think. For the apps we ordered the meatball trio ( always order the balls), arancini bolognese, and the shrimp something. Everything was a hit!!! I can't remember the names of the main dishes. I had pasta with a cream sauce, chicken and spinach. My mother had a pork chop with veggies and roasted red potatoes. We sat at the bar and services was attentive even as it filled to capacity. The drinks were tasty, so much so that it lead to another round.

The environment and accessibility was somewhat difficult but there is a steel incline at the entrance if using a wheelchair. We were taken to be seated all the way in the corner. When it hit 6 pm, it was hard to get out due to the excessive amount of tables, and wheelchair was not accessible after. My table was given an automatic gratuity charge, with a table of 5, but the policy states "Parties of 6 or more subject to 20% gratuity. A 3% processing fee is applied to all credit card purchases." Overall the ambiance of the restaurant was good. The food was prepped nicely, my table ordered - Sodas, Caesar Salad, Bucatini Arrabiata with Chicken, shrimp scampi (GF), bucatini Delle Nonna, meatball trio, ravioli, and crab soup. 8/10 for taste, and presentation.

Clandestino has grown up, literally. What began as a small operation in Frederick has moved into a…read morelarger space, and the expansion suits them well. This is Puerto Rican pitorro, also known as ron cañita, made with care and intention rather than gimmickry. Many local liquor stores now carry the brand, and it is well worth picking up a bottle, but visiting the distillery is an experience in itself. The founder is a fellow Puerto Rican born retired military member, a background I share, and like me, he has put down roots in Maryland. That story is reflected clearly in the brand's own framing, "Puerto Rican born, Maryland made." The space feels grounded and unpretentious, and that sensibility carries through to the hospitality. We arrived late on a Saturday and were still welcomed warmly, never rushed. We were taken care of by the founder's daughter, who was exceptionally kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. She guided us through a flight that included the traditional pitorro, almond, pineapple, coffee, coconut chai, and several seasonal offerings. The flavors were thoughtful and well balanced; even the infused expressions retained a clear rum backbone rather than drifting into novelty. We enjoyed them enough to leave with several bottles. This is artisanal pitorro done right, rooted in Puerto Rican tradition and confidently made in Maryland. Buying it locally is convenient, but going to the distillery is where the people, the story, and the spirit fully come together.
