About this restaurant

  • Great for live music
  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
18th & 21st brings something fresh and classic to Columbia, Maryland. Named after the Constitutional Amendment that enacted Prohibition and then subsequent Amendment that repealed it, 18th & 21st promises to bring back a bygone era through an elevated, tailored evening experience. Our food and cocktails reflect the feel of prohibition supper clubs. This not to say we're stuck in the past, but rather that we try and emulate the style of that era. That means beautiful presentation, careful crafting, and perfect pairings to keep your night on beat. Combined with live music, this creates an unparalleled experience for the discerning and adventurous looking for a sophisticated evening. Due to the nature of the experience at 18th & 21st we request that all diners be over the age of eighteen.

    The jazz show was nice. The crowd was good but still a feeling of a private restaurant. Definitely would return.

    We were welcomed joyously and escorted to a great table. The staff was attentive and friendly. The menu was inviting and we enjoyed our meal very much. Our main reason for going was Damon Formans jazz trio. The were terrific. The acoustics were quite good. We will be back.

    Celebrated my mom's birthday. Everything from the drinks to the appetizers to the entrees were great. My mom really enjoyed the crab and corn chowder and I really liked the seafood bouillabaisse. Our server, Saphia, was great.

    We were attending a special event held by the restaurant - "a haunted Halloween." The event was fantastic with a 5 course meal with an excellent "spooky dinner", specialty drinks, 3 readings of Steven King and Edgar Allen Poe short stories and music all in the beautiful 18th & 21st portion of the restaurant. The event was sold out, was a lot of fun and a very good value

    Live band was good very energetic, service was average. Food was salty especially the seafood bouillabaisse. Disappointed with the food quality, it used to be good.

    The ambience was outstanding, the music outstanding the attentiveness to us a 3. They followed up and said that the waitress wasn’t feeling well so they had to send a home so The left us for the rest of the evening without a waitress we had to send out food back twice, we asked for the Lamb Chops to be well done and they weren’t. They were medium and mashed potatoes came to the table cold, so overall, I will give it a 3.
