The Irish grits were a new thing I didn't know I needed. The flavors gel so well together. I'll go back again to try dinner but I sure hope for a better reception.

Fantastic Establishment !!…read more 11'15'2024 Hubby and I randomly stopped by in the evening and snatched 2 seats at the bar. We were greeted by Taryn who was as awesome as her name. Collectively, we ordered the following. Chicken Pot Pie - Amazing flavor and portion size. Smoked Chicken Wings - Creatively delish. Broccoli (2) Hot Toddy's - THE BEST HUBBY AND I EVER TASTED !! There was live music on this evening. The mood was very chill, and relaxing. Great vibes. Hubby and I visited again for dinner on 5'7'2025 This is our special day. Hubby and I met 29 years ago today. We were seated and assisted by Tatum. Collectively, we ordered the following.

The beverages were discounted. The food was great, and the atmosphere was cool. This evening happened to be their Wine Pairing Dinner evening. It was fun to watch the crowd of customers anticipate their 3-4 course meal w pairings. I researched afterward and saw they're just about monthly, $65 which is a steal, and it appears they sell out.

I tried a glass of the 2024 Karl Josef Piesporter, and it was sweet without being overwhelming. It has a laid back vibe, so there's no rush to leave. It's a great place to sit and chat for a while. They're dog friendly, though I will say the dog next to us got a little active with their friend, which was a bit distracting. Overall, it still had a quaint atmosphere. The service was on the slower side, but we weren't in a rush. Just keep that in mind if you're looking for a quicker stop because this spot might not be your best pick. I really enjoyed the wine and the waterfront views, so I'll definitely be back!

We stopped in for a cocktail. Our bartender said he was new and had been there a few months. He…read moresaid he was trying out some new drinks, so he gave us a peach cocktail to share. We ordered two vodka lemonades and two spicy margaritas. A little later he brought out a cheese board and said he was training someone, they had made an extra one, and he wanted us to have it for free. Super nice of him! We sat there enjoying our drinks, the cheese board, and watching the Blue Angels fly by. Great atmosphere. When we asked for the bill it was $73. Keep in mind, that's for four drinks because everything else was given to us for free. We never asked for the peach drink or the cheese board--he offered them. We paid the bill and left a good tip, but come on...$73 for four basic drinks is crazy. Just be aware if you're stopping in. The drinks are not cheap. Even with the free extras, it didn't feel like a good value.

That is a very nice seating option; however, there was a private event occurring so I couldnt be seated at such. They also have a front patio seating option as well. I opted to be seated at the bar for this visit as well. The bartender was not as pleasant as my entrance experience and previous visit; however he was attentive. We ordered drinks and then proceeded witj our food ordering once we received our drinks. We ordered Expresso Martini and Reposado Old Fashioned. The drinks are amazing and 5*. We ordered our food Oversized burger and Pan Seared scallops over brussel sprouts. Our food came out hot and within reasonable time. The burger is NOT an oversized burger. Regular sized and the descriptive name is deceiving. The burger option was not anything to speak on as it was not to satisfaction but quelled the hunger moment. It was over cooked. The pan seared scallops came out with a strong "fishy" smell. They however were tasty and spicy. This was a small plate as it was only 3 scallops in total. Other then the strong "fishy"smell, they were tasty. We then ordered a limoncello and was of course satisfied as it was another great tasting drink. This establishment does not have a nice and variety food menu but you will never be disappointed with the drinks.

Little Georgia is a delightful experience that will please adventurous eaters as well as the more…read morereserved. The waiter was patient with my questions and explained what some of the food was as I deliberated over a unique to me menu. I started with the Tolma, which was cabbage stuffed with very tender and flavorful meat. I next ordered Beets with Walnuts and was surprised to see a dish of three squat pieces of beet and walnut mix. It was served cold and was very refreshing. I ended the meal with the Adjaruli which is a cross between a pizza, dip, and bread bowl. It was the best of all those things! Apparently, I needed to be taught how to eat the Adjaruli because I was trying to cut pizza like slices and dip them into the egg. The waiter corrected me (very politely but emphatically) that I should mix the cheese and egg together, then pull off bits of the outside dough to dip into the center. I was close!

My son is in love. At a food stall on a recent vacation, he tried a Georgian cheese boat (Adjaruli,…read moreif you're in the know) and has declared it his new favorite food. Bread bowl with melted cheese and a raw egg yolk to break an mix in - it was made for the boy. So when we came back home, we Yelped "Georgian restaurants" and found Little Georgia, so we came here for his birthday. There's a front entrance on the main drag, but a big private parking lot out back with an entrance there, so we came in. Two mannequins with traditional Georgian (wedding?) attire are there to greet you, with lots of Georgian art and maps along the hallway as you walk in. It was lunch on a weekday, so not a very busy place. Two people at the bar, a table of teens, and a family getting up just as we were entering. Relatively empty. So I was surprised how slow service was over the whole visit. Our waitress was very kind, but I got the impression it was maybe a one-person show. Unfortunately, we skipped asking for some beverages (beyond water) and dessert because we were worried how long it would take. I would definitely try this place again though, because the food was overall pretty good. My son got his Adjaruli cheese boat and was delighted. The bit I tried was good - salty stretchy cheese with a garlic infusion - can't go wrong! My wife got the Phkhlovana spinach cheese pie and it was huge and delicious. Imagine a spanikopita that's cheesier and more bready than flaky crust. Would get again. My brother opted for lamb chops with fried potatoes and I got the Ojakhuri lamb and potatoes. Both were very tasty with a nice seasoning on the potatoes and lamb with a really good piquant and garlicky sauce. My only complaint is that the lamb was pretty well done, and in my opinion lamb is best medium rare; our waitress didn't even ask if we had a cook preference. The ricey, cheesy "cheese balls" appetizer came with the same sauce. Child #3 was in a picky mood that day, so he only ate half of them. They taste like you'd imagine. Solid, but nothing spectacular. Per a recommendation from our waitress, we tried the Adjapsandali eggplant salad. As good as everything was, this was a memorable part of my meal, and I have a love-hate relationship with eggplant. It reminded me a lot of a Catalan Escalivada - roasted eggplant, onions, and peppers served cold but this had a nice salty-sour dressing with it. Would totally get again. It's a nice place with a cuisine that's hard to find in these parts. Reisterstown 2026 with prices to match. The food was overall solid. I wish the service were a little better, but not so bad that I wouldn't come back. Recommended for sure!

I visited Vine Bar for a wine tasting this past Saturday and had a really great experience…read more Vine Bar Collective is a wine importer, a bottle shop, and a tasting room. They import and sell exclusively Italian wines, and they source their wines directly from farmers who are dedicated to organic farming practices. They also import many wines from young winemakers as well as female winemakers (from regions where female winemakers are not very common). The tasting room is very comfortable and had plenty of seating for people on a Saturday night around 6. You can drop in for shopping (they offer all 50 of their wines in their bottle shop) or to hang out (they offer rotating flights, glasses of wine, and a build your own charcuterie board menu). I was there for the $30 tasting (which is by reservation only), which included five wines and a some snacks (some chips, some cheese, some olives, and some fresh preserves/jam). Bailey, their somm, took such great care of me throughout my tasting. He brought me a map of Italy and described each wine and the winemaker with incredible detail and insight. I enjoyed all of the wines and the snacks! I also left with a few bottles to enjoy later at home! I had a great time at Vine Bar. They're doing something very cool and different from other wine bars, and I'd love to return for another tasting or just to enjoy a glass of wine or two at the bar.

So we drove a good 30mins to get here, with anticipation from seeing this restaurant on a travel channel, but the original location is in NY. We get there, and its plenty of free parking. We ask for seating for 3 and we are told they are only seating individuals who booked a reservation. Totally understandable considering its Valentine's day. I dropped the ball folks. I didn't make a reservation. So I noticed a bar lounge which we were told we could wait for a seat to open up. As we were waiting a coupled jumped in front us and took a seat. The manager Claudia came to the rescue like the dark knight but with more grace. She mentioned she was willing to put us on the list for a table in the main dining area. I accepted her kind gesture and continued to wait for bar lounge seating to open up. A couple was kind enough to come over to us and ask if we were waiting for bar lounge seating. They offered their table to us as they were ending their night. There was a 2 man band playing in the lounge area that was very soothing to the ear. As I tried to help my mother get comfortable at the hightop table, I noticed she was having a difficult time getting seated in such a high chair. Guess who came to the rescue, you guessed, Claudia! She's the best, 100 grand, made me a real fan. So she came over and said our table was ready if we wanted a booth seating and we all know that's the best seats in the house. All I could think is look at God. The wait wasn't even long either. 10 out of 10 for saving the day. In addition our waitress was such a sweetheart. I mentioned a white malbec I saw on the menu that I was astonish to see b/c I never knew of such a thing. She bought me a small glass to taste and my God, I am a true believer Jesus turned water into wine. Its so clear like water but the taste is amazing. The food is so delicious. The restaurant is very clean. The staff is very personalable. Everyone cartered to us. You would have thought we were the Obamas or something. As we were stuffing our faces, Claudia comes around handing out roses to the men/boys to give to their dates. Complimenting my son and his daper outfit she hands him a rose and tells him to give it your mommy. At the moment he lights up with a big smile as if he paid for the rose himself. I can tell he felt like a gentleman and good that he could give his mother a red rose on Valentine's day. That small gesture was very thoughtful and appreciated. I apologize for my essay, but they desired it. I love the service, the ambiance, the food, and service. I haven't seen my mother smile so much in a while. So it bought me great joy to give my mother this experience on Valentine's day. I thank Nonna Angela's staff for such a wonderful experience.

I'm not actually sure but the cocktails are good. I think the vibes when I went was off. Granted I did go on a weekday where it was pretty empty. I did really appreciate that they were chips of ice in the cocktail, cause it was a really hot day, so I made sure that the drink stayed really cold and delicious. Water is self service. They shift their menu a lot which I think is really nice for the community. The cocktails are on the pricier side they think they start around 14 or 16 which I think is a little too much for a local neighborhood bar.
