They have great bands and performers at The Collective Encore on Lake Kittamaqundi in Columbia MD…read more (You might recall Tomato Palace restaurant and then Clyde's Soundry music venue at this location, if that helps you place it.) This was a re-scheduled performance by acoustic roots band Charm City Junction, whose January gig was cancelled by a snow-ice-tornado-storm! Judging from the full house, everybody held on to their January tickets. We were all greatly rewarded. We come for the music, but also for the creative menu, and we arrived early to our assigned-seats so we could have our meal before the music. Their staff is quick, and we also used the QR-code menu to get a head start. We stayed with classics: a salad and a flatbread. The Caesar was fresh and crisp with a fairly-light amount of tangy dressing and fun flat croutons. The non-cube crouton-shape is a surprise that cleverly matches their crunch closer to the crunchiness of the lettuce. The pizza was a clever flavorful shrimp and veggie creation, and we finished every bite. We had a tart craft beer from their varied list and a well-made French-75 from their creative cocktails, which included non-alcohol options, too. Caleb Stine opened, with great acoustic country-music originals, excellent guitar-playing, and his deep sonorous voice. But ask anyone, the most fun song was this one: "Something that can bring us all together. Something I believe in ... I'm eatin' butter, I'm eatin' cheese. I'm eatin' anything I please, No need to tell me the calories ... I'm eatin' butter." A whole song about Butter :-). Hilarious! After a full set by Caleb, the headline quartet Charm City Junction took the stage, showing off masterful skills on fiddle, clawhammer banjo, button accordion and upright bass. They played a really enjoyable mix of traditional roots, bluegrass, and Irish originals, often featuring whichever of the musician who composed a particular song. Some leaned toward band-supported solos, and some were rousing audience-engaging call-and-response, such as Boozy Suzy, from their Duckpin album. They reprised John Prine's "Please Dont Bury Me", from that same album, and played "I Ain't Gonna Work Tomorrow" from their newest album, Salt Box. We learned the traditional Irish "hup!" to shout when a musical phrase is just too great to hold quiet about! Many in the audience were pretty good at that, though i could not really land it. Several of the band members called out family in the audience, in fun friendly engaging real-time conversation that made us feel like family, too :-). We had a great evening! They made this cozy space feel like a backyard bluegrass roots jam. This space has great acoustics and a skilled sound-board. You choose assigned seats when you purchase the tickets to their performances, and i think they have first-come seating as some jams and game night. They offer so much! There's rock bands, R&B bands, pop, jazz, blues, local musicians, candlelight classical performances, sensory-enhancing "dining in the dark" experiences, brunches, a Mother's Day Soul / R&B sing-along, history spoken-word nights, a bookfair with bar, Motown music trivia, regular trivia, and even rentals of their venue. There's plenty of free parking, and a flat path from the parking garage across the street. It's a nice venue.

It's located right on the lake, which is beautiful. I came in by myself and was able to find some friendly people to talk to and sit with. The prices of the drinks and food were a bit high, I spent over $20 for one cocktail plus tip. The trivia experience was a bit confusing and over-complicated, but it wasn't a horrible experience either. If they had another event I was interested in going to, I would definitely come back, but maybe not in my regular rotation of places.

I planned a Family outing to Medieval Times and it was Amazing. I have been many many years ago and…read moredecided to take my family so we all can get to experience it together. I purchased my tickets online with a work discount because it can be expensive for a family of 6. Parking is at the Arundel Mills Mall. The entrance is located inside the mall. The show is really theatrical and exciting. You are routing for your team in sections with colored flags. There is a lot of screaming to show support for your team. The food is passed out and you are expected to eat with your fingers. Please pack your own silverware if using your fingers is not something you want to do. I also had to wait for the server to bring us silverware which took some time. There are alcoholic beverages to purchase for adults of course along with sovernier cups which my kids begged for. The food is just ok. The show is very entertaining and I was very happy with the show. The entertainment performers were very gracious with taking tons of pictures after the show. I will definitely recommend this for a family outing.

First time at Medieval Times ever. I went on a Saturday at 6pm, and the place was packed and…read morechaotic. Paid $23 extra per person for Celebration Upgrade, which gave us a framed photo, preferred seating, extra dessert, a flag, and early entry. The only things worthwhile in that list are the photo and the preferred seating. The cake slice was bad, and the other 2 things aren't really worth it since seating is assigned. Before you are let into the seating area, you can explore the open area with the gift shop and bar, but there wasn't a clear bar menu to order from. SHOW: The show was fun. Very loud so maybe bring some ear plugs to protect your hearing. The seating we got was unobstructed and nice, other people's seats had a net for safety. Props to the actors in the show for their hard work. FOOD: Pleasantly surprised by most of it. Tomato soup was alright, though I wish I got a little bit more and that the garlic bread came at the same time as the soup for dipping. Garlic bread was alright too but tasty enough. The half chicken was the star of the show - the dark meat was extremely juicy, hot, and tender. Even the breast meat was excellent and not dry. It was just messy eating with hands only and would have appreciated the wet wipe to already be on the table rather than be passed out. The accompany buttered corn and potato were also delicious and hot. The dessert was the only bad part - the cake with funfetti frosting was dry and tasted kind of stale and cloyingly sweet. The eclair was bland and dry. SERVICE: Bar wench was a little snippy lol. Waitress lost her voice and could barely hear her but she was great. She was having a rough night, we could tell - sweating and lifting the heavy trays must have been really difficult. Hard job, everyone should tip them well. Honestly just felt bad for her. Pricey experience but worth it for a fun celebration or experience every now and then. Tips are not included - cash or Venmo/cashapp only, so be prepared.

It was actually really good, more interesting than I thought it would be when I first saw the trailer the week prior and that was great. What was not good, was the theater that we were seated in. I'm going to say the theater because I don't remember seeing dirty disgusting seats at my prior visits here. Look at the pictures and you'll see what I'm referring to. I then also went to the bathroom in the bathroom was nasty as well. I really don't know what is going on with this theater and why AMC has not corrected this issue. Is this what people are accepting from this Columbia theater? Maybe I never noticed because it was my friend who pointed out the dirty seat as I was trying to sit down. It could have been my haste to grab a seat before someone else since it was an advance screening and genpop seating but when she said something I quickly gasped and grabbed my bag. I also noticed that the floors were dirty as well as I walked back from the bathroom to my seat. There was food stuck to it and it just looked like they didn't really upkeep this particular Auditorium. And that is my hope that it is just specific to this Auditorium we were having the free advanced screening in. However if you have people coming to your movie theater for free screening, when you want them to have the best experience? So that confuses me as well. But also once you notice one thing that freaks you out , it heightens your senses and you're open to something else being wrong as well.

The day that I attended was a beautiful day to be out and about for an afternoon of family fun. The art exhibits, crafts, food and entertainment made for an interesting local cultural experience. It was nice to see that the event drew a pretty good crowd. The food was provided by local food truck vendors along with some restaurants located along the lake. I opted for The Tasty Maryland food truck, which offered a decent menu. I ordered the Caesar crab cake wrap, which was big on flavor. I also had a Matcha soft serve from a food truck called Bmore Mochi. The soft serve was so delicious. It was heavy on matcha flavor without the associated bitterness. I added coconut as my topping; it was the perfect accompaniment to the matcha. The soft serve was topped with what appeared to be an ube shortbread cookie. Wow, such a good cookie. I really wish this food truck had a brick and mortar location because I really want to purchase this soft serve again.
