Our large group had two wonder servers that took care of us like we were the only one there. Each and every meal was incredible and something I didn't expect would even be possible, they served us all at the same time. Even the atmosphere was fun and comfortable. I picked this restaurant because we have always had great meals here, such as date night and client outings etc. I highly recommend this place to anyone I'm speaking with when the subject of restaurants come up. Next time you want to have a great meal, book a reservation and go. I highly suggest booking a reservation because this place is so popular now it's always hopping. Great job to the entire staff at Bacco!!!!

They offer happy hour all day there to welcome summer and to get people use to the bar! Couldn't beat the deals - half price apps and lots of drink specials. Ordered a margarita that was okay. Very tequila forward. Also got the lemon cello martini that was good. Finished with Italian old fashioned and it was tasty too. Got the burrata app and the mussels app. Both absolutely delicious! Bread service was not good - very dry bread. Not like a nice crusty Italian bread. Skip the bread. Beyond the good food, the service here is spectacular! There was a gentlemen on a sports coat that greeted us at the door and explained the outdoor bar specials that had one other person there. He seated us. He was also running around helping all of the customers. You can tell he enjoys his job! Our server was also working hard and was beyond busy but yet very attentive. They know how to give excellent customer service!

We went on a Saturday at 10am and we were seated immediately. We all ordered coffee. They have lots of options like flavors, creamers (non dairy), lattes, Americanos, espressos, etc! Lots and lots of options. They also have breakfast cocktails. The food menu itself has a great selection to pick from as well. We ordered a veggie breakfast burrito (yum), a make your own omelet (delish) that came with potatoes and toast, a carnivore bowl, and two sides of bacon. All dishes were great. The sides of bacon were rather large! All of the food was good and large portions. The prices and quality are very reasonable! For sure check this place out for breakfast. Greta vibes and lovely experience.

It was my wedding day and we decided to rent out the patio for my friends and family…read more Sue (the manager who helps with event planning) was SO sweet and accommodating to our needs. We booked a 3:30 reservation and showed up at 3:15. Our server let us know it was her first time with a big party and she was nervous. She did her best and no complaints to her as she had to work the entire table by herself which made service extremely slow. We were at the restaurant for about 3 hours and the food was mediocre at best. I really do appreciate being able to allow my guests to choose what they each wanted to eat instead of having a set menu (dietary restrictions) and am aware this can also slow the kitchen down but I do believe the professionalism was lacking. As the bride and groom my family was disappointed we were not mentioned the entire service BUT we did get a congrats plate at the end. The small patio was nice for our group of 14 but the weather made it super muggy which they cannot control, the AC did not work though. The food was okay, definitely not worth what we paid (over 1,000 dollars) My husband and mother in law said the lobster mac and cheese was horrible. I think the only food my whole family enjoyed was the cream of crab soup :) Overall, our server was super sweet and Sue is great but my family and I are very disappointed and this experience made me upset on our wedding day. I will not be returning.

The ambience was nice and the service was decent. The menu, particularly the entrees, seemed a little pricey for the area but the food we had was all good. Havre De Grace is a small waterfront town, so I have to say that considering the context and location, our dinner was really quite good and exceeded my expectations. If you're in town, it's a nice place to come for wine and an elevated dinner.

Every town, burg, or community - however large or small - should be the proud possessor of at least…read moreone... Bistro, that is. A cozy little restaurant that serves up delightfully delicious food in a decidedly casual setting. And in Havre de Grace, The Vineyard Wine Bar fills this niche with a subtle sense of style. As the name suggests, wine has played a significant role in Vineyard's obvious success. So much so, in fact, that not only does the restaurant sport a superb compendium of vintages by the glass and bottle, its lunch and dinner menus are also divided into categories - Light Bodied, Medium Bodied, Full Bodied - that correspond to specific types of wines. Yes, wine is definitely the name of the game... But don't let that fool you. The kitchen also has a great deal to say... and all of it good. The food here is excellent in every respect, as is the service. If I lived in HdG, I have absolutely no doubt that I would be tempted to dine here every day of the week. The Vineyard is everything a great bistro should be - and then some. But I begin to digress... As you have undoubtedly surmised from the above remarks, our dinner here was an extraordinarily satisfying experience. My dining partner and I began by sharing the Bruschetta Trio. Bruschetta is an Italian appetizer that begins with grilled bread topped with garlic and olive oil and then adds a variety of toppings. In this case, the finishing touches consisted of a luscious garlic spread, sundried tomato and basil pestos, melted mozzarella, and house marinated tomatoes with a balsamic glaze. While most incarnations of bruschetta may be consumed manually, Vineyard's substantially succulent variations on the theme (as you will note from the photograph above) demanded the ministrations of both knife & fork and were well worth the effort... Incredibly and unforgettably delicious. As we moved on to what would be considered the entrée or main course, options were numerous and varied... from Cornish Game Hen to Crispy Skin Duck... Venison to Dakota Steak... Lamb Vindaloo to Pesto Bucatini... ... On this particular evening, however, matters piscatorial appeared to take precedence. My dining partner was absolutely ecstatic with her Tuna Bites. Which is precisely what they were... diminutive squares of blackened tuna luxuriating in a Creole remoulade (a creamy, mayonnaise-based sauce originating in France). A definite "wow" factor at work here. On the other hand, my Mango Glazed Salmon was equally up to the mark... First of all, it was wild caught, which I much prefer (with rare exception) to the farmed variety. Secondly, as with most species of fish, salmon tends to be prone to both over and under cooking. Here, however, it was perfectly prepared - cooked through but still moist and succulent at the core - superbly complemented by a slightly smokey red pepper coulis (a smooth sauce made from puréed and strained fruits or vegetables), and companioned by lemon & herb risotto and roasted asparagus spears. On to the wine... With regard to both taste and texture, tuna and salmon are certainly among finny fare's heartiest representatives. Thus, despite the oft-quoted dictum, "Red wine with meat, white wine with fish," and the gentle urgings of our server in that direction, I have always found that salmon and pinot noir are - somewhat akin to lamb and red Bordeaux - a match made in heaven. And, in this instance, the 2022 Lundeen Mon Père Pinot Noir from Oregon's Willamette Valley proved to be a perfect match for my companion's blackened tuna bites as well. Dessert was a special treat. Naturally, many of the usual familiar sweet endings were present and accounted for. And, given the superior quality of the cuisine thus far, I had no doubt whatsoever that they would have acquitted themselves with suitable aplomb. For some reason, however, my dining companion and I were both drawn to the Crème Brûlée Cheesecake (pictured), which we decided to share... and, which, as it turned out, proved to be one of the high points of our evening. This was an intriguing amalgam indeed: The sweetness of taste being more influenced by the former; the firmness of texture by the latter. It is - if you will pardon the seemingly psychological digression - what we might consider a type of "gastronomic Gestalt," in which the whole is greater than the mere sum of its parts. In other words, the components of Crème Brûlée and Cheesecake have been combined... and from this fascinating combination there has emerged a new dessert that is even more desirable than the components have been individually. Well... call it what you will. I just know that it was so incredibly delicious that I would return at a moment's notice just to indulge my taste buds once again.

One of my brothers is obsessed with this place!!…read more After the first time this is his most requested ask. He enjoyed the hush puppies they bring out to start with their honey butter, and the food in general. He ordered the shrimp pasta which he has stated is his favorite and has ordered it each time we come. I have ordered the stuffed flounder, the Mac and cheese, and a salad and I was not disappointed. There is plenty of booth seats, bar seating, high top seating and even some outside seating. It can get a bit loud inside when they are busy. All in all it's a great place to go for lunch, dinner or even a date.

The Asian salad dressing made it a little less enjoyable for me, but one of the managers said that many people love it (I asked what was in the sauce, I didn't share my feedback) ‍ btw: the rice noodles in it are the fried/crunchy vermicelli type of noodles.

They're made like slushies and are strong (2 of these and you will be done for the evening) The wine is okay!! though not necessarily the highlight in my opinion.

When we arrived, we were the only ones there, and there was one staff member working. That said, she came over immediately, brought us menus, and made the experience feel welcoming right away. We had to ask about tastings and she poured us about four different wines to try, which was a really nice touch and made the experience feel relaxed. We liked a few of the wines and ended up purchasing a bottle of Honor Cava Brut Rosato for $32.99. Solid choice. Nothing mind-blowing, but enjoyable and fairly priced for the setting. The space itself felt calm and cozy, especially with the fireplace and wine displays, but at the time we were there it didn't have a ton of energy or buzz. To be fair, it was early in the day, so I can absolutely see this place feeling very different in the evening or on a weekend when the patio and waterfront vibe are in full swing. V-NO is a pleasant, low pressure wine stop with friendly service, a thoughtful tasting experience, and a beautiful waterfront location. It may not scream "vibes" during slower daytime hours, but it's an easy place to relax, learn what you like, and enjoy a glass (or a bottle) without feeling rushed. I'd definitely come back later in the day to see it come to life.

A cute little wine and gift shop, hosting Friday and Saturday outdoor concerts…read more We love this little wine shop, both for it's offerings, but especially for the weekend concerts and the outdoor umbrellaed tables. We drove up on a Saturday late afternoon in Aug 2025 and found parking across Main Street. There are other free lots nearby and sometimes a free shuttle around town on Sat and Sun. While waiting for the music, we staked out a table among some that people had reserved ahead of time in front of the wine shop, with other tables just outside the lot and more across the quiet side-street. From the wine shop, we got a nice little pinot noir to take home. They offered plastic glasses and a bucket full of ice, so we could have had that during the concert. They also have beers and ciders, gourmet snacks, and many clever and original accessories and crafts. The wine shop's owner encouraged up to walk to nearby Joe's Deli, and across to the Patapsco Distillery where the band set up under a small canopy, and we also got some food and drink from them for our table. And there's a sweet little ice cream shop across Main Street too! The band played light rock and folk and people were relaxed in conversations and enjoyment of the music. The gentle breeze kept us cool under sun-shielding umbrellas. This is nicely done weekly pair of concert, and the welcoming hostess and cooperative nearby shops make this a pleasant way to visit Sykesville on a Friday or Saturday evening, continuing through Nov 8th.

A delightful and whimsical wine shop…read more From first glance, Vine on Main looks like a fairy hut, or at the very least, a hippie's hideaway. Colorful clothing hang up in display, palm size houses tucked away behind rocks, and a cozy outdoor seating area are the first things to great you as you approach the store. Once inside, you'll find yourself in a claustrophobic den, filled with locally made goods such as clothing, foodstuffs, and art as well as wall to wall wines. Choices are plenty despite the small size of the store and at reasonable prices. For those living nearby, be sure to check out Vine on Main's wine club to get more wine at better values. The real highlight of Vine on Main is the owner, who is the sweetest woman you'll meet. She's highly knowledgeable about all the products in the shop, even the non-alcoholic ones and is more than happy to share information about them. Not only does she have excellent wine and booze recommendation, but she'll even offer some free samples if you ask her nicely. Plan on shopping around the area? She'll take your order, bag it, and leave it to the side so that you can pick it up when you're all done instead of lugging around heavy bottles. If you're in the area looking to buy some good wine or just want to spend some time with a fun and interesting woman, then check out the Vine on Main.
