Our server,Jaden was just wonderful. Bubbly, and super attentive. We had a large party and many asked for "no onion, dressing on the side,..." and everything came out correctly. We all loved our meals. The place was packed and all the waiters were hustling around. A great experience, and I recommend! I have to add, that we were all looking forward to taking a York Peppermint Patty, which were in a basket by the front reception when we arrived. An hour and a half later it was completely empty. If you're going to offer it, you need to refill it- just a thought.

Darwin would be displeased with you. As am I, because it's never good to have a tired teacher…read moreresearch any kind of history on her day off. You see, back in 17th century England, private houses would open their homes to the public and sell food and beer. Hence, public house. Over time, they dropped the "lic house" and just called them pubs. Because you never dropped the "lic house" makes me think that you haven't evolved like you should have. And frankly, your food is proof. In fact, it even made me nostalgic. But not in the way you might think. You see, I loved making fun food concoctions when I was a kid. My sister and I would watch this corny show called "Zoom" on Maryland public television, where the kid hosts would make recipes sent in from all over the country. We'd make homemade peanut butter cups using Jif and semisweet chocolate chips. Or weird sandwich combinations like pickles and potato chips and cheese and jelly. The seafood egg rolls weren't the worst part of my meal, but they were definitely sophomoric--as if a kid chef-in-training was asked to whip something up from Chinese food leftovers. Seafood should never taste fishy, yet these did. One bite hit me like something that had been sitting a little too long above the waterline. Not to mention, they were laying on a greasy glob of some mayonnaise accompaniment disguised as a fancy garnish you'd see on MasterChef. One word: Ick. The ahi tacos. Oh boy. My mind fills with seawater the moment I think of them because they tasted as if they had been fished right out of the ocean and then placed on my plate. They were wet. Soaked. Drenched. The gelatinous seaweed clump on each taco wasn't culinary-forward, just unappetizing. I took one bite and wished I could spit it back out, but I reluctantly swallowed it. My esophagus is now aquaphobic thanks to you. The moment the coconut jasmine rice hit my mouth, my tastebuds took the red eye to the coconut tree haven of the Maldives. Normally, this wouldn't be a bad thing, but the rice and coconut had no cohesion. It tasted like my younger self dumping a handful of shredded coconut--the sweetened kind my mom kept in the pantry for the wool on her Easter-shaped lamb cake--into a cup of microwaveable rice. The only redeeming aspect of our meal was your kind, charismatic waiter. He was lovely in every way--attentive, sweet, and helpful. He would have been an incredible host on "Zoom." If only his personality made the food taste better. For your sake, I hope you learn to evolve your kitchen's offerings beyond the amateurish trio I experienced. If not, your restaurant's bones may end up fossilized alongside every other place that couldn't adapt.

Lots of great choices on the menu & wonderful daily specials. We love this restaurant so much that we hosted a baby shower may of 2026 in one of their upstairs private rooms. The event planner was great to work. She had wonderful suggestions on menu & set up. We chose a brunch buffet & added some of their appetizers & fresh fruit. We had rave reviews from all who attended on the venue, staff & food. We will continue to dine here and would highly recommend the space upstairs for private events. Ample parking - but one suggestion is make a reservation, as they are always busy

We also go the mussels and wagyu meatballs this time. Mussels and wagyu meatballs were well plated and tasted good. Just not as standout as their bread and brie. For the main I had their Steak Au Poivre cooked medium rare. It was a little closer to medium but still seasoned deliciously. The fries has the sauce already on top. I kind of wish it was on the side. Fries interestingly enough tasted like McDonalds fries. But everything on the plate was delicious. Server was excellent. She really knew the menu and was attentive in providing us with water and getting plates out of the way. She also made sure to tag allergies. Since we were part of the closing crowd, they also served complimentary whiskey from Ireland. The owner is from Ireland. It was a nice gesture. Only downside is the food did take a while to come out as it is a scratch kitchen. Update about the parking situation. There is actually a lot around the corner that is free after 7pm.

We went for lunch and it was not very busy so that was nice. We asked if we could eat outside and we were able to nab a seat there. We were seated a high table which was cool because we had a clear view of the street but was able to maintain staying in our little food bubble. When it came to order, we ended up ordering the Loaded Nachos for an appetizer and I ordered the Chicken Chesapeake with a baked potato and onion rings. I did order a drink but for the life of me, I can't remember which one. Please blame my foodie mind! (Haha!) The Loaded Nachos were good filled with white cheddar cheese sauce, tomato, jalapeno, black beans salsa, sour cream and chicken. It was good and the chicken was nicely seasoned and succulent. It was not chewy which is sometimes how chicken or any meat can be especially, when added to an appetizer like nachos. Unfortunately, I think that my biggest disappointment of this lunch was the Chicken Chesapeake. It came with a chicken breast, a 5 oz jumbo lump crab cake and mornay sauce. The chicken breast was just okay, it tasted bland as I think that maybe a little bit of salt and pepper could have helped. The jumbo lump crab cake was....okay, it was topped with the mornay sauce that was very tasty but the crab cake itself just fell apart. I didn't feel as though there was any structure to it and that with the amount of sauce on the crab cake and then the crab cake being too tender that it just falls apart...it wasn't a good mix. It felt like the crab cake was swimming in the sauce at the end, unfortunately. The mornay sauce tasted great with the mixture of cheeses so I really appreciated that. Besides the mornay sauce, the onion rings were another big favorite of mine. They were perfectly seasoned and crispy. I really liked the batter on the onion rings as I think it was executed perfectly and they helped to save the rest of the dish. Altogether, I'd enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. While one dish was lacking, the appetizer and my drink weren't. The prices were alright, a little steep but nothing I couldn't handle. The customer service was also really good as our waiter was kind and helped us with whatever we needed. If I'm ever back in the area, I would definitely come back again to try other things off the menu.

Once we were finished I had to flag down another server to get our check and she also took our payment and got boxes for us. Maybe our server was on a break.

It was around noon on a Wednesday. We were greeted by an amazing bartender named Shayne. This time of day you can sit anywhere and he brought us cocktail and food menus. My wife still working for an unsweetened iced tea and I (not working) ordered a troegs IPA. The beer and cocktail menu is abundant and it it wasn't noon midweek we probably would have ordered from it. The food menu is nice and short. They offer great food specials (today was half priced tacos). She ordered a cubano with sweet potato fries. I ordered a pigs in zen sandwich with easily the best steak fries ever made. The menu said it's all locally sourced food and made in house from scratch. These sandwiches proved it. The pigs in zen sandwich is overly stuffed with pork for $12 and the coleslaw is definitely house made with a great taste and crunch. Her cubano? She couldn't stop raving about it. We both brought a half a half sandwich home. FYI the fries are a $4 add on and totally worth it. $16 for a huge pulled pork sandwich with a ton of fries? I'm sold. There is a lot of other food on the menu, but we were just in for lunch. It's a must visit. They will also let you try the beers on tap because they are seasonal.
