Located on the lower level of Dive Bar, this place gives speakeasy! The set up reminds me of Odie's/Perry's in Odenton ##IYKYK On a Friday night it was a nice crowd but not packed. We sat at the bar. There are some tables and booths. There's even a very comfy looking couch near the entrance. There was live music. The guy was really good! The drinks are cheap and well made! For food I ordered the chicken club minus bacon, with a side of fries and it was good. The bartender, Rachel was attentive. The other bartender's name I didn't catch but she was great as well.

Olive on Main is a charming neighborhood restaurant serving Mediterranean cuisine on historic Main…read moreStreet in Laurel. Street parking is free, though it's important to check the posted restrictions, and there is also a small public lot just a short walk away. Our group of 11 had a smooth and pleasant evening. Our server was relatively new but handled the large party with confidence, including separate checks, which we appreciated. She was still learning the menu, but she offered honest recommendations based on dishes she had tried herself. The food was well received across the table. The kitchen gladly accommodated two guests with dietary restrictions, and that flexibility was greatly appreciated. I ordered the Lamb Shawarma, which had tender meat and a wonderful blend of Mediterranean spices. The empty plates around the table said it all. Dessert was the highlight of the meal. The chocolate mousse cake and the layered almond-lemon cake were both rich, flavorful, and a perfect finish. With generous hospitality, accommodating service, reasonable prices, and a menu I'd like to explore further, Olive on Main is definitely a place I'd return to.

An Italian and Jamaican fusion restaurant is such a fun, unique concept. Catherine's was really one…read moreof a kind! The interior is quite spacious and very nicely decorated. The decor accents are upscale and the dining room was SO crowded on a Sunday night - I didn't see one empty seat in the house! Booking a reservation is a must. They had live music and every member of the wait staff seemed polite, professional, and well put together. The restaurant does get fairly loud with all of the guests though. I tried the sorrel and it was spot on, very gingery and a touch on the sweet side. My family members and I also tried the Rasta pasta, the oxtail lasagna and the Ital Pot entrees. The entrees are a bit on the pricier side, but for most things, the portions are good. I'm a Caribbean who does not enjoy spicy food so I opted for the mild Rasta pasta but I think I could have upped it to the medium spice level - the mild was very creamy and cheesy, but lacked a bit of that signature jerk flavor. The oxtail lasagna was very cheesy and rich with a good amount of oxtail in between the layers, but I wish that the Jamaican flavors were more pronounced in this as well. I didn't try the Ital Pot personally, but the salmon that it came with was cooked to perfection.

I was able to get a sitter for my 3 littles, so I went on a triple date to try out Catherine's. We…read moremet my sister and her husband standing outside of the restaurant because there is no waiting area inside the restaurant. The decor is really cute inside and we were seated right away. My cousin and his girlfriend showed up shortly after and someone came to pour water. They let you know as soon as you're seated that there is a 90 minute time limit for the table and it starts as soon as the waitress arrives. We ordered lemon pepper wings,codfish fritters and jerk chicken bruschetta for appetizers. The wings were delicious and hot out of the oven. The fritters were good,but thin, and didn't have much saltfish in it. The bruschetta was nothing to write home about. For entrees we got jerk salmon, jerk chicken, oxtail lasagna, lambchops and 2 orders of braised short ribs. 2 people received their food at least 10 minutes before everyone else. If you're going to impose a time limit, your kitchen and wait staff need to be on point, or the timer shouldn't start until after everyone receives their food. The jerk salmon was very well cooked, but hardly seasoned. The oxtail lasagna was like regular lasagna, but instead of ground beef, they used oxtail and it had bechamel sauce instead of marinara. It was also very cheesy. It wasn't bad, but at $36 I would have expected more. The lambchops were out of this world. Very well seasoned and the gravy was finger licking good, but you only get 3 per order. My cousin didn't let me try his jerk chicken, but he said it wasn't bad. To note, a lot of reviews said the rice and peas weren't good,but we must've came on a good rice day because our rice was good. For dessert we got bread pudding, rass prince, tiramisu and flour-less chocolate cake. The chocolate cake was too thick and the texture of the mousse in the rass prince wasn't that great. The tiramisu and bread pudding were good though. This was the first time I've been to a restaurant where the waitress didn't come back to check on us mid meal. No one could order a second drink and we had to ask a random person passing about getting our water refilled. The manager came by before dessert to ask how was dinner and we had to ask him for water (since it still wasn't filled) and for a dessert menu. At their price point, I would expect better service,but since 18% gratuity (and 20% for parties bigger than 6) is automatically added there isn't any incentive for the wait staff to do better.

I would like to thank to Yelp for this event and thanks to introduce me such a unique place!…read moreI really enjoy the place. I tried Baijiu Mango Margarita and Watermelon Candy! They both was very good match with my cocktail taste! I like the food too! Calamari, truffle fries, edamame, rolles, chicken tenders,... all was tasty. The tour about the how they make Vodka, gin, Baijiu process was pretty impressed. They make all these drinks right behind the bulilding... By the way the most unique and different thing for me was BAIJIU! This is the first time I heard and tast! It's strong and tasty. The an other most important thing was, I was the winner for the event! I won the bottle of Oversea Baijiu. Because of my video that I share at instagram I am glad Oversea Distillery and Bar only 10 minutes away from my house! BAIJIU: (pronounced bye-jyo) is a traditional, clear Chinese distilled spirit. Literally translating to "white liquor," it is typically distilled from fermented grains like sorghum, rice, or wheat and ranges from 35% to 60% ABV. As the world's most consumed spirit, it boasts a history spanning millennia How It's MadeUnlike most Western spirits, baijiu relies on qu, a unique starter culture of crushed grains packed with active molds and yeasts. This culture simultaneously converts grain starches into sugars and ferments those sugars into alcohol--a process called solid-state fermentation. The mash is then traditionally distilled in clay or stone pots. Just like wine or whiskey, baijiu isn't a single flavor. It is categorized into four primary styles, though many sub-varieties exist: Strong Aroma: Sweet and pungent with fruity and spicy notes (e.g., Wuliangye). Sauce Aroma: Complex and savory, often likened to soy sauce, fermented vegetables, or dark chocolate (e.g., Kweichow Moutai). Light Aroma: Crisp, clean, and floral, similar to sake or high-end vodka. Rice Aroma: Mild, slightly sweet, and floral, closely resembling other Asian grain spirits like shochu.

We ordered food and drinks from the beautiful bartender and host Leah, and about 20 minutes later, we were told they'd be closing early. We wrapped up pretty quickly and were getting ready to head out when we learned that the owner, Yancey, was actually closing early to take both staff and customers to another Black-owned bar in Olney that doesn't get much traffic on Wednesday nights. We decided to join, and I'm glad we did. When we arrived, the owner of 5 Sisters generously covered our first round of drinks. Overall, it turned into a really fun and unexpected night.

Barely anyone in there and service blah. I ventured here with a friend to celebrate another friend's birthday. I was warned ahead of time that the drinks were horrible so I adjusted accordingly. They have a good open space and they were hosting the Thursday night football game. There's an area that has a big screen television and some lounge chairs all mostly facing the television throughout that half of the restaurant. They have a very limited menu and I can appreciate that however I did ask if my food was going to be freshly prepared or if it had already been cooked and was sitting under warmers. I was informed that it would be freshly made and I didn't feel like that was untruthful because it was just some fried fish and french fries which you can just throw in some grease. Yeah, nah. It was at the very beginning of warm. That's not hard to make some fresh fish and some fresh hot crispy french fries. But for $10, okay. I was asked to pay immediately after I ordered and thought that this was awkward as well but, okay. If the food was hot it would have been great. The fish was seasoned and I love a crinkle cut french fry. When my server brought the food to me they were about to sit it in my lap instead of putting it on the table in front of me. I thought that very awkward and ask them to just put it on the table please . . . . I don't know what else to say. They serve hookah as well --v--
