This was the first time my husband and I ate here They had a Valentine's Day menu along with the regular menu Our server Paul was very attentive I ordered the Spinach salad off the special menu. It was delicious. My husband got the beet salad which he enjoyed. I got the Pistachio crusted Salmon with roasted vegetables. Again, it was delicious. I asked our server if the chef could give me the recipe 😉. The chef actually came out to our table and I thanked him for the delicious meal. Some of the previous reviews were not that good but I am glad we gave the restaurant a chance. We will definitely go back. Excellent service and a delicious meal.

We could see what other customers mentioned about the darkness. Lighting could be more congruent with inside setup. We had chili fries that were pretty bland. Crab dip was 6 out of 10. Burger was 7 out of 10, after adding bacon. My wife had a burger as well. Service was subpar, really felt bad for bartender as he was responsible for mixing and serving the bar tables. We had to ask a manager to serve us. Bill didn’t match the service at all.

We went on a Friday at 12:30 for lunch. There was one other table of two women. The whole time we were there and I was meeting two friends that I hadn’t seen in a while so we stayed till around 4:15 and the place was empty. The food was very good, sort of pricey, our waiter. Jeff was very good also.

Our experience may not be typical because we went right before a Ravens game and the restaurant was empty. We were told that earlier in the day, they had served 90 people for brunch/lunch, so it was probably way more noisy then. Our food was delicious! I got a pork rib appetizer that fell off the bone. For my main course, I got the roasted cauliflower, which was so yummy, but in the future, I would prefer it for a shared appetizer instead. My rum cocktail was perfect. The other diners at our table got pork schnitzel, ahi tuna puttanesca, fried chicken sandwich, and the beet salad which was outstanding. Everyone was very happy. We'll be back!

Brunch at Elliott's Craft Kitchen: A Promising Start With a Few Missed Beats... 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 mentio
