    Thanksgiving buffet
    Laura D.

    We went for a Thanksgiving buffet, as neither household could host this year and we decided to keep it simple. They did a great job with the food, and there was plenty of it. It was relaxed and casual feeling, and everyone was very nice. I actually really appreciated that they had a minimal staff, allowing most of their staff to be home on the holiday, though the woman running the show was extremely busy - I hope she had a very restful day the next day. I absolutely loved the science theme with the beakers and such. Unfortunately, this isn't in an area that any of us go to normally, or I would enjoy going back and trying some of their regular fare.

    Everything from the food to the atmosphere was amazing. The live jazz was the cherry on top. Our server was friendly and attentive. My mom and I enjoyed playing a game while waiting for our food. The wait was not long and I definitely will be coming back to try other entrees. Overall, this was an enjoyable dining experience.

    Second visit, first one during brunch. Jazz wafting through the air while playing board games is pretty cool. It was after 2:00, so we chose to order from the menu instead of the brunch buffet. Though the buffet smelled good, there were no regrets! My bourbon chicken was both tasty AND healthy. There was one waitress and one hostess and they worked well together. The amount on the check was one of our favorite parts, it was less than we expected!

    Chicken bites (Korean BBQ)
    Marylee B.

    Came for happy hour - $5 glasses of wine were calling my name after a tough Wednesday. We sat in the bar area and the bartender greeted us within seconds with menus and a smile. We were super excited to try the Brussels but were worried about being able to order from the full menu at the bar but were pleasantly surprised to find that we could! We ended up ordering the chicken bites from the HH menu and the Brussels from the normal menu. Our bartender was attentive even with a full bar area to attend to by himself and the food came out quick. The Brussels had honey old bay on them with a sriracha aioli to dip and were honestly PERFECTION. I will be coming back for more and if you're smart you'll order them too. We went with Korean BBQ for the chicken bites and they did not disappoint. They had no spice but all the flavor. My only complaint is that they either burn incense or have hookahs in the restaurant and we kept getting whiffs of it while trying to enjoy our food/drinks. We will 10/10 get more food but probably will do takeout next time!

    12.21.23 Hubby and I had a $25 gift card we won and a Local Flavor coupon to use so decided to stop in for dinner. This restaurant was formerly Centre Park Grille. Our server, Ryan, had someone training with him. He was very friendly upon greeting us. He informed us about their happy hour menu. Upon perusing the menu, I asked him for his recommendations between the tacos and boneless wings on the HH menu or the brisket grilled cheese sandwich off the regular menu. He recommended the latter. Unfortunately, it was just average. The ciabatta bread was too thick and the sandwich was dry. It needed more butter and perhaps more cheese or a sauce. The fries were good, crisp on the outside, but soft on the inside. I took half of it home and had it for dinner the next day. The sandwich was hearty. It tasted better the second day as I added more butter and regrilled it. I also added a touch of Worcestershire sauce. Hubby got the Hot Nashville Sandwich which he enjoyed although he said the pickles which he doesn't like infected it. Lol. Overall our dinner was decent, but nothing stood out. Helpful notes: -Happy Hour menu M-F from 2-6 pm -Daily Specials available -Check Local Flavor for coupons

    This is a chill local restaurant , low key atmosphere, friendly service, convenient parking. We ordered 3 appetizers, brisket grilled cheese, fish and rice, and signature burger. Fish was fresh and tasty. Burger was on point. Brisket grilled cheese was a little dry, can use more sauce. Mushroom appetizer was a little overly sauced and a bit too sweet. Chicken drumsticks appetizer was juicy with a little kick which was nice. Remember to try out their signature cocktails, quite unique compared to the common ones. Do recommend!

    So the husbae and I visited Periodic Table today as we've been on this, "let's eat more at home" deal, especially with him having recently retired and me being a federal employee (IYKYK). Unfortunately, we were disappointed. I won't bash the business (I typically don't do that) but there were many reasons that disappointed us: the wait time to be acknowledged - see photo of the overall empty dining room (another patron left due to this; sad because outside of us and the other patron, there was a 12 person party in the back), the time it took to be served, and lastly the food itself. I ordered an apple martini (my favorite), meh, it was okay. We ordered the pepperoni flatbread (to share) it was soggy and lacked decent flavor, 2 cups of "cream" of crab anything but creamy (it was remade without us asking, so, thank you - haven't looked at it nor tried it) and made with backfin or claw crab meat, and the wings despite a great flavor (lemon pepper) were flash fried and underwhelming (we also requested all flats, but did not receive them). All in all, we likely will not go back. That was $70 (with tip) down the tube.

    My wife's plate, she never finishes her meals.

    WOW! Howard County hidden gem! I've lived here over 20 years and never experienced this place. Family was SO Satisfied I had to comment on our experience. My NYC son loved the vibe and theme. I very rarely post any reviews. Just got back from DC National Harbor and had 2 horrible family dinners the were very overpriced Greeting was good and seated at our table. Waiter was very attentive and communicated well We got our water immediately and drink order to follow. Beers, Martini and Old Fashions were very good. We got wings and Brussel Sprout apps. Wings were solid and Sprouts were good well with nice flavors, bacon would have been nice. Entrees were excellent all the way around. Steak, Pot Roast, salad, Chicken, Shirt Ribs. If my wife ate her entire meal that says it all. My Carrot's on the Short ribs were the best. No room for desert, best meal for me in 2024 and travel all year round. Check it out, It will not disappoint!!

    Cauliflower Bowl with added Salmon ($16+$8)- great flavor from the chimichurri

    I reviewed before having only had happy hour food and drinks, but after going for regular food I felt like my experience was different. I think everything in my previous review holds true, but the full price food just isn't worth the price especially because there is nothing special about the service or ambiance.

    Garden salad with grilled shrimp
    Lynne S.

    We came here initially thanks to the offer for a free appetizer that was marketed in the Wine in the Woods informational magazine. This neighborhood spot was a pretty basic bar and restaurant with super friendly staff and fresh food. We ordered the steak and cheese flatbread - YUM!!! - I ordered the garden salad with shrimp. He ordered a burger to keep simple. Jordan was our server and was very attentive. Yummy food for a local spot but nothing special to drive from DC. Thanks for the free and yummy appetizer!

    Stopped in for lunch and the portions here were crazy big. The chicken wings were a meal in themselves. When we ordered soup and a half sandwich, the half sandwich was the size of regular bread slices and the brisket was piled on. I forgot to tale a photo of the sandwiches, but the boxed photo is half of our half sandwiches. The take home made two more lunches for 2. Will definitely try this place again. Out server was the bar tender and he was great.

    Happy hour menu
    Sydni R.

    I've been here a couple of times and every time the device and food was wonderful. On the outside you'd never think this would be a foodie gem, but what was it we were taught growing up, never judge a book by its cover. And boy does this book have a lot of gems (dishes). My two favorite dishes are the pork belly buns and the burger. They also have a good IPA list and they all pair perfectly well with the burger. They also have a pretty decent happy hour that starts at 3 (sweet!). Trust me you won't be disappointed.

    Veggie burger from another angle. Lots of risotto.

    Brunch at Elliott's Craft Kitchen: A Promising Start With a Few Missed Beats…read more.. I recently visited Elliott's Craft Kitchen a fairly new spot that my group of four decided to try out for brunch. We were hoping for a fresh experience, but our visit turned out to be a mixed bag. Ambiance and First Impressions... When we arrived, the restaurant was surprisingly empty, which was a bit of a head-scratcher for brunch time. Even though we could hear staff chatting in the back, it took a good five to eight minutes before anyone came out to seat us. Once we were seated, we noticed the lighting was so dim that we actually had to whip out our phones just to read the menu. Not exactly the cozy brunch vibe we were hoping for. The Food: Hits and Misses... On to the food. We started with the cream of crab soup, which was just okay--nothing to write home about. The Brussels sprouts were a bit of a letdown. They were tiny and mostly just fried leaves rather than the hearty sprouts we expected. So if you're imagining those classic roasted Brussels sprouts, this wasn't it. The chicken and waffles were decent in flavor, although the presentation could have used some polish. The pita bread for the crab dip could have been toasted or something more firm and doesn't taste like it was immediately pulled from a bag. Surprisingly, the star of the meal ended up being something as simple as the French fries. They were really tasty and stood out more than some of the fancier dishes. Service and the Final Stretch... Our server was kind and polite, which we appreciated. But the big hiccup came at the end. Their payment system went down, and we ended up waiting over 30 minutes just to settle the bill. After sitting for about 15 minutes we informed our server that we would like to wait in the lounge area to get more comfortable as I understand.... things happen. Although while we waited for about 20 minutes there were no offers of water or anything to make the wait less awkward (not to mention asking for payment without even presenting a bill). It felt like they were more focused on turning the table than making sure we were okay during the delay. Although maybe it was an awkward start to the morning. I will say our server did her best to work things out with the technology she was given. So, I still provided her a fair tip, not her fault. Value for Money... In terms of pricing, it felt pretty average overall, but there were a few eyebrow-raisers. For instance, the avocado toasted croissant--topped with over-easy eggs, baby spinach, and Grana Padano--was $19, which felt a bit steep for what it was. In comparison, a pork schnitzel dish was around $21. So, while the pricing wasn't outrageous, some items definitely made me pause and question the value. Overall Thoughts... In the end, my experience at Elliott's Craft Kitchen was a bit of a letdown. So I'm surprised by some of the reviews (maybe because it was not dinner). While there were a few highlights (like the fries and a well-made Old Fashioned), the service hiccups and the underwhelming dishes mean I'd probably think twice before going back. Definitely not for brunch but I would really consider Dinner after some more reviews. Hopefully they'll iron out the kinks as they get more established.

I had heard about…read moreSapwood and maybe 4-5 years ago I would have found these offers more appetizing but in the end, going there twice in three days, I wasn't all that impressed by the tap list. We hit the brewery on a Friday about 5:30pm and it was crowded but still found a table. Can't say enough good things about the staff, very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable when it came to their beers. But their beers were all over the board. Honestly, I've given up trying to find a good WCIPA outside of California, but did try their collab with North Park, called Pristine State. Also sampled a hazy pale called Beam of Light, their Pilsner, Scenic, a double hazy IPA, Vanillafort with a sh*t ton of vanilla beans, I'm Grander, their pasty stout and Osmosis, their amber lager. On top of that I also took home their blueberry maple pancakes and tangerine whip smüzi. Didn't open the tangerine and drain poured the blueberry pancakes after maybe half a glass. So Sapwood did a lot of different beers but none that I really could say suited my taste buds. Then again, I'm very spoiled with excellent craft in California. Their food was good, we ordered a taco sampler, Brussels sprouts and nachos. All the food was very flavorful and you got a fair amount for the price. Not much in the way of ambience, but it's a brew pub, there is rarely any of that. All in all my visits were average, not a big fan of their beer selection, nothing really fit my tastebuds, the North Park collab was close. Not sure what their niche was when it comes to beer. I don't need to be overwhelmed by the tap selection. Would I return? Yeah, but not my first choice for craft beer, but the food was more of a hit with me.
