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 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

I wish I had a better experience at Easy Like Sunday Morning, especially since this was my first…read moreouting after surgery and was meant to be a special celebration of my recovery. Like many other reviewers, we found it very difficult to locate the restaurant within the plaza. Once we arrived, we were seated quickly, and the initial service was prompt. I also want to acknowledge one aspect of the service that I genuinely appreciated. As someone with celiac disease, dining out can be stressful, yet the staff were attentive to my dietary needs, offered several safe options, and clearly communicated which items might not be appropriate for me to eat. That level of awareness and consideration made me feel welcomed and cared for, and I am grateful for it. Hence, I feel comfortable, providing one star for that purpose. That being said, there were a few moments later when we had trouble finding our waitress after requesting changes to our order. Unfortunately, the changes to our order ultimately became necessary because the food simply was not good. My husband and I both ordered the shrimp and grits. I ordered mine without sausage, while he kept it as prepared. The grits were gummy, sticky, and overly cheesy, something I never imagined I would complain about. As a Black Indigenous American woman, shrimp and grits represents far more than a menu item to me. It is a dish shaped by generations of cultural exchange and resilience, drawing from Indigenous corn traditions and the culinary practices carried by African ancestors and preserved within Gullah Geechee communities. Because of that rich heritage, I hold this dish in high regard. Unfortunately, this version felt disconnected from the flavors, textures, and history that make shrimp and grits such a meaningful part of Southern food traditions. My husband ultimately sent his meal back and ordered the fish sandwich instead, which he also found disappointing. I added an egg to my dish in hopes that it might improve the experience, but it arrived long after I had already lost the desire to continue eating. I was also surprised that, in a state with such a strong military presence, particularly in Baltimore, there didn't offer a military discount. What saddens me most is that we chose this restaurant over several other options because of the overwhelmingly positive reviews. I believe honest reviews matter, both for future customers and for owners who genuinely want feedback to improve. We spent our money expecting a memorable treat to celebrate my recovery and instead left feeling disappointed and regretful. Looking back, I wish I had asked for a refund while we were there. Honestly, my husband is still upset upset that he spent his money. Despite having the funds available, he believes we would've been better off having a meal at home.

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.

However, the cooking was pretty clumsy (I guess), as the top of the fish had a burnt layer and was served that way. Service was very spotty. My overall impression is that the staff treat it like they're working in a pub - so no real higher end service, not attentive, and not good follow-up. Not what I expect for this price level at all. Atmosphere was a good mix of casual and upscale, but the abundant untreated hard surfaces made conversations tricky, as the ambient noise was very loud, even when the dining room wasn't full. Can't say I was overall impressed with the wine list, either, both quality-wise and scope of grape selection. Overall, a disappointing experience. Putting this into my "I'll pass" list.

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 both got a glass of wine and ordered two small plates to share. After quite a while of waiting for our food, the bartender checked to ask what we had ordered. He had forgotten to put our order through and to apologize, gave us a bit more wine to compensate which was super appreciated. Our dishes came out quickly once they were placed. 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. Food and drink specials were just as amazing. We will definitely be back!

The sign from the street makes you think it's inside of the liquor store, however it's actually behind it. There is some street parking but if you can car pool or rideshare I suggest that.

Each room has its own vibe and is color coordinated. The staff is very friendly. I took some points off for food. It took a really, really long time for us to get our meal, and one of the pizzas we ordered, we couldn't get because they didn't have the ingredients but we weren't told for over an hour.

The hostess didn't ask for the temperature but they made it medium rare, which I prefer medium well, but it was cooked well done. I also ordered salt and vinegar wings and I cannot tell you how they taste as I left after waiting for them. I told the table to share amongst each other once they came out. Not enough seating. people left early so others could sit. The themed rooms (lounge or dining) are a nice touch, and it's BYOB/Hookah which sets a cool tone. But if I go back, it'll be with a small group, hoping for more polish next time.
