The cocktails at Manor Tavern were the undeniable highlight of our evening. They were stunning to…read morelook at, beautifully balanced, and not overly sweet. My husband ordered a lavender cocktail that was absolutely lovely. Unfortunately, the food didn't hold up to the same standard. My Maryland crab soup was underwhelming. For a state known for its crab, there was barely any crab meat to speak of. My husband fared better with his fried Brussels sprouts starter, which he really enjoyed, and his pork chop entree was solid. I ordered the wahoo fish special as my main, but it was so dry I couldn't get through it and had to send it back. I replaced it with a shrimp Caesar salad, which was fine but completely unremarkable. Our server was genuinely lovely and attentive, though drink refills were frustratingly slow throughout the meal. It seemed like a bar bottleneck rather than anything on her end, but it did affect the overall experience. The biggest sticking point is the price. For the quality of food we received, the menu feels overpriced. The cocktails were a bright spot, but the kitchen needs to catch up to justify what you're paying.

I love dry martinis. Dry towels. Dry senses of humor, even…read more What I don't love is dry fish. My grouper had the makings of a fine dish. The flavor. The texture of the couscous. The crunchy onion straws. Then I bit into the white, flaky meat, hopeful it would match the caliber of its accompaniments. I was sadly mistaken. To avoid reaching for my dad to give me the Heimlich, I gulped water to get it down. Considering fish comes from water, it's quite a trick to make it taste like kindling. If you're going to serve your patrons dry fish and make them sweat to death in your hot dining room while they wait for refills, kindly put a carafe of water on each table. Or let them wear CamelBaks. Our waitress was clearly overworked. She was managing about 20 tables, making it hard to get more water--or anything, really. At least put man bun to work and have him ask customers if they need anything. Like water. If it were socially acceptable for me to wring my shirt into my glass, I would have. I didn't want to embarrass my father, so I refrained. I swore I wouldn't rip any more restaurants, but no one asked why I left three-quarters of my fish on the plate. Not the overworked waitress. Not the manager, who walked past our table half a dozen times, intentionally dodging eye contact. If they had, I would have told them the truth. Frankly, I think they already knew. So here we are. The truth hurts sometimes. Just like dry fish going down the gullet.

Stopped in with our kids to grab dinner on our way home. The restaurant was loud but the atmosphere…read more(especially sans kids) was fun, upbeat, and even with little kids we could carry conversation. Our server was lovely and super attentive. We got margaritas: strawberry and house both on the rocks. They were great! My husband ordered a chimichanga and I have a trio of tacos. The kids had sliders and chicken nuggets. The nuggets were their favorite. They both ordered applesauce but the restaurant doesn't have spoons yet and they were out of plastic spoons. No biggie for us (we learned that forks do applesauce pretty well!) Dinner took a turn when we had a very, very large bug join us at the table. My husband killed it but it, in turn, killed our appetite. My kids who spotted it first, begged to leave, but we told them we should finish dinner. They then found another much smaller bug and at that point refused to sit down because they were convinced they were feeling bugs crawling on them (they weren't, but I also couldn't blame them). We had mostly finished so we headed out quickly. We got home and unfortunately the cherry on top of the experience: both got sick (we didn't eat lunch after a busy kids sports day), so it was obvious this was the source. His dish had chicken and steak and I had a chicken and a steak taco, so not sure exactly the overlap. We were super disappointed we have fond memories of Banditos in Baltimore from when we lived downtown. Would like to add the manager and server both were extremely attentive, apologetic and insistent that they discount our meal. We were appreciative they took the incident seriously and trust they'll resolve it.

First time in, and unfortunately it'll be my last. I ordered…read morea medium-well filet mignon, and it came out extra well-done and cold. When I let the waitress know, she apologized and had the manager bring it back out about three minutes later -- this time piping hot. I asked if my $35 steak had been microwaved, and his response was, "I don't know, maybe." That was all I needed to hear. I sent it back and didn't order anything else. The TVs are solid for game day, but outside of that, the experience was below standard. One visit was enough for me -- one and done.

Chef's Expressions at the Manor truly made our wedding magical. Sarah Armstrong was our event…read moreconsultant and she was AMAZING. She helped us get better deals on aspects of our big day, figure out how to get what we wanted within budget, and mapped out every detail to perfection. Sarah made sure that everything was planned in a way that made the most sense and following her guidance led us to a day I dreamed of. When there were hiccups with a bartender being out due to COVID, she was quick to come up with a solution and I didn't even know of the issue until after the night was over. Sarah handled everything on the day-of, even transporting our personal décor, so I only had to concentrate on being with my people and soaking it all in. On top of all of that, the food was AMAZING. I would eat their short ribs for every meal and the fennel and ricotta flatbread was to die for. Everyone says you don't eat at your own wedding but Chef's Expressions made sure we got served a little of EVERYTHING so we got to eat every single dish at our wedding and they were all phenomenal. I didn't think pasta would hold up well served en masse but the pesto especially was really phenomenal. Every hors d'oeuvres, station, and dessert was delicious. Our cake was also provided through Chef's Expressions and was one of the best wedding cakes I had ever eaten. Sarah and the team at Chef's Expressions at the Manor do a phenomenal job and I would recommend them to everyone looking for phenomenal food on a reasonable budget.

Pros: - The food was delicious - The tasting was also delicious as the food is very good -The servers at my wedding were awesome and helpful - They helped create a layout for the wedding - They seemed to listen to what we wanted - They created a timeline of the wedding Cons: - They had last minute questions that should have been addressed at the tasting/ questions were asked that we had reviewed at the tasting (cake flavor, types of alcohol, etc.) Instead of asking them the month before the wedding they were asked the week of the wedding. - The day-of coordinator that was promised was invisible. - The clean up of the event was disorganized. I ended up taking items with me that were supposed to go to a point person that was known by all parties. As a bride, this is the last thing you want to have to think about. If the event coordinator were present they would have known this. - A gift was lost and chef's expressions did not seem concerned. With hindsight 20/20, I would have hired a wedding planner and waited until the year 2020 where The Maryland Historical Society will allow other caterers.
