The service was pleasant during both visits and the atmosphere is cozy as well though I have yet to dine in. I'm sure I'll be back in the coming weeks and months to try more things to rave about.

Extremely Disappointed -- Loyal Customer Treated Poorly:…read more I've been a loyal customer at Yesh for years, even held my Sheva Brachos here and used to come weekly. But after today's experience, I won't be returning unless the situation is made right. The person preparing my shawarma was clearly new and overfilled the salad, leaving no room for the full portion of meat I paid for. I politely asked her to remove some salad so she could add the rest of the meat, and before she could even respond, the mashgiach abruptly stepped in and refused in a rude, dismissive way. His tone was completely uncalled for, especially when I was calmly trying to explain that I just wanted what I paid for. Not only was I shorted on the meat, but I was treated with total disrespect. That kind of behavior drives away loyal customers. The mashgiach was out of line and should not be interacting with paying customers, frankly, he should be replaced if Yesh wants to keep its good name and stay in business. At the very least, I expect Yesh to make this right with a proper shawarma meal, meat-filled as it should have been, along with the fries and drink I ordered, on the house. That's the bare minimum for how this situation should be handled. Disappointed doesn't even begin to cover it.

It's really a shame how poor service and management can ruin a restaurant…read more For many years I have enjoyed First Watch. I have patronized numerous locations. I have been going to their Pikesville location for 4 years. NOT ANYMORE! Let's start with the rude man who is the Host/cashier. He seats folks however he feels like rather than when they came in. Today was the last draw! He sat two women who came in after I did before me. Say what you will but "coincidentally" they were black and so is he! The feckless manager offered no help. This arrogant front man is mishandling his position while the manager retreats to the kitchen. I know several customers who have abandoned the Pikesville location for the Owings Mills facility. I previously wondered why, but not anymore. THE PIKESVILLE FIRST WATCH IS DETERIORATING!

First Watch used to be such a yummy, consistent treat but now... Shrinkflation at its finest. All portion sizes have decreased, and the prices have gone up. There was a good amount of avocado on my toast but the bread they now use is a shell of its former version. The cheese grits were enjoyable and the eggs were fresh. I also believe my mother enjoyed her double bacon Parmesan hash but, overall, the price tag is no longer worth it. The service left a lot to be desired as well. Major sigh.

Finding the restaurant itself was easy, but parking was another story -- the one‑way street and…read moresmall lot made it a challenge. When we walked in, the cashier immediately asked whether we were dining in or taking out. We chose to dine in. We ordered the roast beef sandwich and the pastrami sandwich, along with potato pancakes. They brought out a full assortment of pickles and pickled vegetables. Unfortunately, they only offer one diet option: Dr Pepper Zero, no other diet sodas from the fountain or in bottles. The potato pancakes were a disappointment -- mostly batter with very little shredded potato. The pickled vegetables also lacked flavor and didn't really taste pickled. Our table wasn't cleared at any point during the meal, and the waiter stood nearby waiting for us to finish, which felt a bit uncomfortable. The desserts looked amazing, but we were too full to try them. We also couldn't take anything to go since we had plans for the rest of the day and didn't want it sitting in the car. Next time, we'll come back specifically to try the desserts.

However, as you know it slowly deteriorated until I stopped patronizing it. I was initially happy to see it changed ownership. Reading the reviews however, it seems it is continuing to be SUBPAR! The Management apologies are scripted(cut & paste) for goodness sakes!! I think I'll pass! Fortunately, when I go back home periodically, I have several solid authentic options.

The food is great, with the standouts being the cold skin noodles (such a unique flavor!), falafel, and of course their honey cake and Turkish tea. If not anything else, come here for that cake and tea. The honey cake flavor builds as you eat it... really good and tastes like you are eating honey comb. We opted for vegetarian today, but will certainly be back to try the meat dishes. The absolute best thing about Silk Road is the staff. The staff is so friendly, accommodating, and hardworking. I never saw anyone at rest, but it wasn't in a chaotic way that made you feel hurried. Love this place.

They now label themselves as a "small business" because they're locally owned, but I don't consider a chain restaurant to be a small business. They also charge a 3% fee on all purchases unless you pay cash--makes you wonder, is this for tax evasion? On top of that, the portions are ridiculously small now, especially considering how much a large bowl costs. I noticed my "large" bowl was the same size as the small bowl the person behind me ordered. The way they're running the business is a surefire way to lose customers, especially with so many other options in the area.

Baltimore is coming in hot with the food towers. So I had to try the taco tower here at La Food Marketa. (Similar to the Italian one I had last time I was In Maryland at Franks) I called ahead and asked if they serve it everyday or if they need a heads up (some places do) but this place said, nope. They serve it all the time and don't need a heads up. So that's a plus. This place also does take reservations. I did make one since it was my first time here and didn't know how crowded it gets. Online it does say they are recommended, but not required. It was busy at 6:30 on a Saturday They are located in a private parking lot with a few other places. They do have a very nice outdoor seating area, and it does say online they are dog friendly. We did pick to sit inside. We got sat at a bigger table once they found out we were getting the taco tower Mackenzie, was taking care of us, she was absolutely amazing. It was really packed, and yet Makenzie still refilled our waters and brought out more chips and salsa (warning, rookie mistake. We filled up on chips and salsa before the taco tower came out) The chips were delicious. They were so crispy and fresh. Also, loved their salsa. Now for the taco tower details. It feeds 4-6- and it was just my dad and I And it comes with- CHOICE OF ANY 3 TACOS- (4 of each taco and they had a good amount to pick from) CHIPS & QUESO LAYERED TACO DIP STREET CORN PAN DE QUESO BUFFALO CHICKEN TAQUITOS RICE & BEANS This food tower will run you 125 dollars We also asked if instead of picking 3 different tacos if we could double the birria tacos. Which we were able to and then we got a hard shell taco with short rib Mackenzie was great at making suggestions. She mentioned that their -BROCCOLI BIRRIA TACOS which were, cheesy corn tortillas, broccoli, onion, cilantro, smoky vegetable broth. Were really popular. (Which is great if you're vegetarian) (You can also add a pitcher of margaritas for a good deal) I knew I wanted the taco tower, but this place has a good sized menu to please anyone, tons of cocktails(even mocktails) and Their dessert menu is also pretty big. (Also a good amount of salads here if you're trying to be good / diet restrictions) I did end up having a couple mojitos since it was a cheat day. The only hiccup was, my dad ordered a black cherry mojito and they brought out a blackberry one by accident. They actually let us keep the blackberry one as well no charge. So they were great at fixing the issue. The whole wait staff here was great. The new drink my dad originally ordered came out extremely fast. (I didn't get the name of the server who took our drink order and brought them out. But she was really nice as well Here, at La food marketa, their food was actually as good as it looked. I highly recommend their taco tower and ask for Makenzie

I confirmed it when ordering and it was confirmed by the cashier when paying. But the kitchen screwed up. They either didn't read or ignored it. Yes the shrimp salad had mayonnaise but the sandwich didn't need more mayo than what was in the shrimp salad itself. This was a carryout order and I didn't think I would need to check the sandwich before leaving, but next time I will have to. I didn't expect to have to modify my sandwich by removing the messed up sandwich. Kitchen staff, do better by reading and making sure what is listed on the order is correct. The sandwich, once rid of mayo was very good and flavorful. The crab cake, shrimp salad, bacon and tomato were delicious. The crab soup I had also was good, flavorful with minimal spice. The food was good, however the kitchen staff needs to do better.

There were numerous cold salads placed throughout the u-shaped table. My favorite was the avocado and shrimp. They were good at when to repeat. This was followed by a fish course, which included whole fish, a cheesy fish casserole-type dish, many cold fishes. he whole fish was my favorite and so fresh. But everything was good. This followed by a meat/poultry course. There were different meats including lamb. They also had duck. This was followed by assorted desserts (French macaroons, mini eclairs, lemon meringue tarts, etc.), blinis, and birthday cake. All was delicious and I ate too many! Service was attentive and the water jugs were constantly replenished. My only two minor complaints- (1) dishes came with a regular fork to serve. It would have been better to have oversized forks and large spoons for serving some of the dishes (ex, filleting the whole fish was a challenge withy a regular fork even though it was ore-cut) and (2) they did not change out the silverware during the meal. It would have been good to have a clean fork when changing from fish to meat, etc. One of the guests wanted 2 orders of potato latkes to go and offered to pay cash separately. The quickly and pleasantly accommodated her. I would highly recommend this place.

The beef was the clear standout -- incredibly delicious. The lamb and gyro were just okay. The hummus was very good, but the salad felt like a mix of fresh and older pieces, which was disappointing. Overall, a decent experience with some hits and misses. The beef and hummus alone might bring us back, but I hope the salad quality improves.
