Our server came over to take our drink orders and offer us sparkling, spray or tapwater. He also offered us the chefs amuse bouche. It was a hummus filled of pastry? The menu is easy to decipher, and there were two specials for the evening. We went with the escargot as an appetizer as well as the bread basket. The bread basket had a few different options and a herb butter. There was some appointment with the escargot as they were a little chewy and lack some flavor but we all enjoyed the Mushrooms that they sat on top of and the toasted bread. We also got the potato crisp as an appetizer. They were excellent with a Stilton cheese, fresh herbs, and scallions! They were crispy and so flavorful. One of the specials was a pasta Bolognese made with Papparadelle. I enjoyed seeing the small bits of carrot, a lot of meat and the wine flavor came through as well. My dad got the monkfish and he said it was almost like eating a piece of steak! We couldn't forget about dessert. We had the crème brûlée and two of the Chocolate dessert. Overall, it was a great night, but but it was quite pricey. That was our fault as we asked for extra water, we had 2 alcoholic drinks, three appetizers and three desserts. I will definitely be back for another special occasion as there is more to explore on the menu! It's a hidden gem in East Berlin, and I'm glad it's still around!

Recently visited Sidney Tavern in East Berlin. This fine dining restaurant is a quaint…read moreestablishment off of the beaten path. The restaurant is quiet and clean. While our server was friendly, his banter was not genuine. If cocktails are your thing, this may not be the place for you. While we appreciate that they craft their drinks from scratch and without mixers, the drinks just were below average. The appetizers (shrimp cocktail and caesar salad) were good, but not much above average. That said, most of the entrées were excellent. Our party enjoyed bacon-wrapped filet, prime rib, duck and beef short rib. All three were very good. While the prime rib was exactly as ordered (rare), it would have benefited from a more traditional rub (rosemary, thyme, horseradish, etc.). The rub on this prime rub had a strong chili powder taste that just didn't work. Portion sizes were generally very generous and timing of the courses was perfect. Desserts were also very good. However, while the crème brulée had great taste, texture and presentation, the serving size was much too small for the price ($13). Overall, the experience was good and we will return.

I had gone there many years ago and had many of the same complaints however about a year ago I retried and was pleasantly surprised by changes that were made. I now go every few weeks for different craft beers and other "necessities" and always find it to be very well stocked, clean, and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. The best part about Total Discount - they let you do mix-six packs! From what I have found, they are one of the remaining stores in the area that allow this. I highly recommend them for anything you may need liquor wise and if you are into different craft beers, this is hands down the only place to go in Carroll County. Side note - no one has ever asked or tried to make a copy of my license there. My feeling of this story is that the cashier probably wanted to SCAN the barcode on the back of the ID. That's not for creating a database as the store is strictly prohibited from doing that by law unless the customer gives consent. Maryland DOES HIGHLY RECOMMEND that each store scan all IDs with liquor sales to ensure the ID isn't fake. Many stores have a policy to do this, due to State and Local pressure. Certainly you can't hold the store accountable for this.

I'm not sure what bottles usually cost so I can't speak to cost-effectiveness, but I did notice there is a frequent buyers program and sales were posted throughout the store.

No not the caliber of players, no not the music genre... it's the volume! Three times we've been with friends and the volume inside is almost an assault on the ears (.. and my wife says I'm hard of hearing!). We love, love, love live music. Local artists? Incredible! But, for the volume of the music to become the focus of the day, you'd best be The Rolling Stones! We may have come out to hear someone play, but most importantly we've visited to share good times with our friends, catch up, and laugh. The music should bring ambiance, NOT be the focus - for us its kinship, beer and socializing, which we cannot do with the volume of the music so loud. We will continued to visit Old 690 but will stay away if they have entertainment indoors.

Additionally, they sell limes and lemons at the register which if you've ever had a few friends over for drinks, you tend to prioritize the alcohol and forget the limes/lemons. It's always a duh moment for me but because they have them right at the register, it's easy to remember. What I think I like most about The Wine Source is how honest staff are about their thoughts on different wines. If they don't like it, they'll tell you and have enough knowledge to even recommend something based on your tastes. Lot parking can be a little scarce sometimes but that's really out of their control and usually street parking is easy to find in the area. In short, would highly recommend! My friend (who's the wine guy for sure) loves it here and says it's one of the best wine spots in Baltimore to him. P.S. They also sell some food in the shop which I haven't tried yet but I'm sure it's good!
