We sat at the bar and were well taken care of by the friendly and attentive bartender. He kept the diet cokes filled and answered questions about the menu. I ordered Chef Chad's chicken caesar cobb without the croutons and with grilled chicken instead of fried (an easy gluten free modification they were happy to make). The bacon, pickled jalapeno, and celery really made this a standout caesar. We also got a side of rosemary parm fries which were yummy too. The whole meal was filling and under $30. Really not bad for lunch! This was a good reminder that The Food Market is still good and there's a reason they've been around for so many years.

Woah! Kinda blown away by almost everything we ordered…read more You can tell how intentional the chef and team here is. My happy hour assortment was phenomenal: one Amish pretzel with beer, cheese, one big old mozzarella stick, one cheesesteak steam bun, and one street taco. They were all phenomenal incredibly flavorful, and this assortment was filling as a meal My husband was a little disappointed by the preparation of the hot honey chicken on Happy Hour. Although the breading was phenomenal, the chicken was a bit tough. The FRIES were divine. I loved my virgin Watermelon lemonade and my husband enjoyed 2 sangrias. We will definitely go back to try their regular menu items !!!

I was enjoying time with my cousins who were visiting from out of town, and one of them made the reservations for us. I'm so glad she did because this place was truly a great choice. I ordered the omelet and a waffle, and both were amazing. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. What really stood out to me was the service. We had reservations at 1:45, and since they close at 2:00, I was a little nervous about the timing. But they welcomed us without any hesitation, and we later found out the kitchen stays open until 2:30. That level of hospitality made the experience even better. Great food, great service, and a beautiful atmosphere. I will definitely be back.

The menu is expansive and has an options for everyone, but the food was just......ok. Nothing stood out to me. The presentation of everything is beautiful, but the flavors were just lacking. I also tried the Mezcal cocktail that had egg white on top and it was just a very odd odor and the flavor profile was far too bitter. I typically love mezcal but this drink was terrible. I will say that the service was pleasant. My server was very kind, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Of all the things we ordered, including a pizza, burrata salad, meatball appetizer, s'mores Panna cotta, pasta, and a side of broccoli.... I'd say the best thing was the broccoli. And it was mid. I can't even point to what the exact issue is. Lack of seasoning I guess. Ceces has the location, the look, the presentation, the menu; they have everything except good food. I was so excited to try this place but left incredibly disappointed.

Everything felt fresh and homemade, but in that "someone actually knows how to cook" kind of way. I got the burger and it was simple but really well made. The table favorite was the fish dip, which disappeared pretty quickly. There's a 20% service charge included, and it's not gratuity, but honestly the experience was good enough that I didn't mind it at all. The restaurant is pretty small, so definitely make a reservation. The outdoor patio also looks like an awesome spot on a nice fall day. Their menu changes seasonally, so I'm already looking forward to coming back for dinner and seeing what they have next.

The restaurant is beautiful and cozy, and I loved how much the menu leaned into seasonal, local ingredients. I ordered the pork schnitzel from the specials menu, and it was delicious, but the surprise favorite for me was the pastry, the blueberry muffin. It tasted so fresh and homemade in the BEST possible way. We also brought our well-behaved 2.5-year-old, and they were so sweet and welcoming with her. They had a kids menu and even gave her crayons to keep her busy, which made us feel comfortable dining there as a family. Next time, I'll be back for dinner!

I had a table of four, with family visiting from different parts of the country, and it was everyone's first time dining here. Jasmine immediately made us feel right at home. She gave us a full rundown of the menu and took the time to ask if there were any questions or anything that needed clarification. That level of attention really set the tone for the entire experience. Russell also joined the party with a perfectly timed check-in. He made sure everything was going well, asked if we needed anything, and personally brought out our food. Once the dishes hit the table, the conversation literally stopped -- everyone was too busy being silenced by the incredible flavors of the food! The energy of the restaurant was lively without ever feeling overwhelming. The service was attentive without being intrusive, the atmosphere was inviting, and the food absolutely delivered. Every single person at the table walked away feeling completely satisfied. For a group experiencing the restaurant for the first time, this was an incredible introduction. Jasmine and Russell, thank you for helping make our brunch such a memorable experience. You both brought great energy, genuine hospitality, and a level of service that made the entire experience feel special. Absolutely incredible experience. We'll definitely be back!

I want it again…read more.... This was a very good experience. The courtyard dining was very nice and not as loud compared to the inside experience. The food was fresh and very tasty. Brunch was understood here. The French toast was very nice and not heavy despite its massive quantity. The flavors complimented each other all the way until the last bite. The Montecristo sandwich was balanced savory and sweet flawlessly. This was a hearty selection and could be shared with two. The cheese grits had to be made by someone's grandma IYKYK. The cowboy bacon I could just have a tray of it as it was a flavor bomb covering heat, sweet, salty, savory, and smokey. The staff was super friendly and accommodating working as a team. The table next to me was promptly provided with hot fries upon request due to the original order being "cold". A few minutes passed by and boom hot fresh fries. I had no clue about village and the assortment of shops and restaurants. I'm super happy I stumbled across it and found the hidden gems. They nailed it. 4.8 out of 5

This is a go to for me on my way home and if you haven't tried it it's a go to for you too. I recommend that you place an order first that way It'll be ready when you get there.

Miss Shirley's Cafe is a bustling local institution renowned for decadent and scrumptious…read moreSouthern-inspired flavors that will leave you cravin' for days! I have had the chance to dine at their Inner Harbor location when I attended a conference in 2018, and I just had to have it at the Roland Park location, since I was on my way to Owings Mills to run some errands for the weekend. This location has parking (they have a spacious lot in the back, as well as some on-street parking) in an honestly really nice neighborhood that gives you that suburban, small-town vibe. Upon arriving right after they had just opened at 8:00 a.m., an aesthetically-inspiring and vibrant atmosphere awoke my eyes, with the bold orange and purple walls adorning wall art - in an intimate, yet spacious interior dining room, along with a courteous, friendly, and personable waiting staff! Miss Shirley's Cafe is a warm and inviting restaurant, with a host stand just inside the main door & the main dining room right behind it. Immediately to the left of the host stand is an open doorway to a waiting area and the East Room, a small dining space that seats about 25. Upstairs is a terrace that seats 40-50, used as a semi-private dining space and overflow dining space as needed. To the right of the main dining room is the Rock Room, a private function space that seats about 80. In case you'd like to know, they do not accept reservations, and if you don't come in right away once they open, you may have to wait for a bit. Breakfast all day makes Miss Shirley's Cafe stand out from many restaurants in the area. The restaurant is open for breakfast, brunch and lunch, and closes for the day at 3:00 p.m. Many of their employees have been on staff since the beginning, and part of the reason is because they can be home in the evenings with their families. The Miss Shirley's Cafe menu is huge, and includes morning cocktails, appetizers, sides, house favorites, omelets, pancakes, soups & salads, sandwiches, and lunch combos. Since it was Baltimore County Restaurant Week (it ran from July 18th to August 2nd), they offered a 2-course prix-fixe menu for $25 - which comes with an appetizer and an entreé of your choice, not a bad deal per say! I opted for their Cajun Shrimp & Corn Stew (which was hearty and comforting - and the flavor was just right), definitely filled my stomach with a warm sensation to begin my day. As for my entreé, I did not regret getting the B'more Breakfast Bowl, which I had substituted for all egg white scrambled eggs, topped with Parmesan, Roasted Sweet Potato, Sautéed Spinach, Roasted Corn, Tri-Colored Cherry Tomatoes and Onions with Lemon & Dill, Pickled Jalapeños and avocado slices. It was the perfect combination to start my long day of running errands and getting stuff done. I definitely would've opted for their heartier and meatier choices; but I didn't want to feel bloated for the remainder of the day while trying to be productive, LOL. I highly recommend ya'll try Miss Shirley's Cafe when your travels call you to Baltimore - and don't tell you I didn't warn you!

I also enjoyed the strawberry lime cocktail. Very fresh. The decor isn't fancy. Red walls and wooden booths. But it's meant to be homey. If you're in the area, check it out.

If you lands you at the train tracks, yes that tiny road leads to La Cuchara. Prompt greeting by the host and very attentive service throughout our dining experience. I enjoyed all appetizers (Pintxos) but my absolute favorite was the beef empanada, it was so full of flavor. The tapas potatoes and salad were very tasty too. I had the rainbow trout for entree, for which the cuts were coming up short so they asked if shrimp was ok to add. I enjoyed the flavor of the shrimp, but I think the fish lacked seasoning- it was the only plate I didn't enjoy. Had the Aim to spark cocktail, a very well balanced drink! I'd visit again!

We had gotten the Beef Empanadas and Dumpling Squash Beignets. The beignets weren't what we were expecting but were delicious. They were fried balls with squash cooked inside - very tasty. The empanadas were just as good with plenty of beef and a great aioli. All around, an amazing first experience here. The ambience was lively and service was great.
