They lost my business this past Saturday afternoon. I wad there about 3 PM. There was a small container of my favorite chicken salad. I had a $10 bill in my pocket and the price of the salad when weighed was $10.65. The employee proceeded to take 2 forkfuls out to make it less than $10. On a Saturday afternoon when they were about to close! And when I asked him what he was going to do with it, he replied "eat it". Unbelievable! All to save 65 cents. I was speechless

It's open Wednesday through Saturday from 4:00 PM to 2:00 AM and Sunday from 4:00 PM to 12:00 AM. My friend and I made our first visit early Friday evening. The service was good, and the food more than lived up to expectations. We started with tender, well-seasoned beef skewers, crispy buffalo wings over blue cheese, and perfectly cooked roasted cauliflower paired with a tasty tzatziki sauce and pickled onion. For my entree, I ordered the maple-glazed short rib. It was incredibly tender, practically melting in my mouth, and came with creamy sweet potato puree and roasted shallots. My friend ordered the rich, deeply flavorful bolognese. Although she received the small plate portion rather than the entree, it wasn't a major issue as we had more than enough food. There are still many items on the menu I'd like to try, and after such a strong first visit, I'll most certainly be back.

We sat outside in what they call the "garden room." The ambience and lighting were cozy and…read morepleasant, and it was comfortably warm despite the 30°F temperature. Unfortunately, there was a strong cold draft at floor level, leaving our feet uncomfortably cold throughout the meal. The hostess was sweet and greeted us with a smile. The food service was unremarkable. Our waiter was not particularly friendly nor personable. The drinks were a weak start. The red sangria was poor. The bourbon cocktail was an odd mix of bourbon, apple cider, and other elements--an awkward, Frankenstein-style whiskey sour that simply didn't work. Worst of all, both drinks were served in thin plastic cups, which immediately cheapened the entire experience. I ordered the falafel sandwich and specifically requested a toasted bun. It arrived not just room temperature, but cold. I sent it back, and it returned burning hot... the bottom soggy... literally too hot to pick up... with no browning or color change, clearly microwaved. Microwaving is not toasting. At that point, the sandwich was inedible. I removed the bun entirely and ate just the falafel, which was dry and largely tasteless. At this point I knew coming back to this restaurant was a mistake. Food timing was another issue. The dishes took roughly 45 minutes to arrive after the drinks, possibly longer. We were all getting annoyed and what started out well when we first walked in turned negative. I wasn't impressed on my first visit years ago... and this second visit confirmed it. Between the poor drinks, cheap plastic cups, ridiculously long wait (with no explanation nor apology), and careless food execution, there's no reason to return.

We made it inside and waited patiently for our turn to order. Before you knew it, we realized that we were in line for 50 minutes just to get to get two scoops of ice cream. There were six associates behind the counter. Only two were working. The others was goofing off. I wanted to leave, but I also wanted to try this ice cream because I've heard such great things about it I got the rum raisin ice cream because you can't find that particular flavor everywhere. The ice cream itself was a 10 out of 10 for flavor and texture. But my overall experience with The Udder Bar was a 3 for customer service. It shouldn't take almost and hour to get ice cream with 6 people behind the counter. Most likely I will not be returning.

Located in Village West on Tilghman Street, it's open Monday through Thursday from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, Friday from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM, Saturday from 12:00 PM to 11:00 PM, and Sunday from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM. I was looking for a place to grab dinner before going to the movies, and since I hadn't had sushi in a while, I decided to give Sumo a try. Kicked things off with the crispy calamari, which was perfectly fried. It's a familiar favorite, served with a sweet chili sauce that complements it nicely. Next up were the Kani salad and seafood miso soup. While the soup was loaded with seafood, both dishes were fairly average and a bit bland. For the main event, sushi! I tried the Sumo Roll, with spicy crunchy salmon and avocado inside, topped with seared salmon, white tuna, crispy rice ball, and tobiko with the chef's special sauce. I also had the Cracked Lobster Roll, filled with spicy shrimp and lobster, sweet potato tempura, and topped with Kani salad and a Japanese cracker with garlic mango sauce. Both were fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Overall, everything was enjoyable. I'd rank Sumo somewhere in the middle among the sushi spots I've tried.

3.5 stars out of 5.0…read more It's hard to write a review for this place only because I didn't shop there. It is only wholesale spices and I couldn't even enter it. As I was making my way around the back to the entrance, a woman was on her way out (owner or wife of owner) and asked if me if I was lost (not in a bad way). Once I told her I wanted to buy some spices she was very nice in explaining to me they do not sell anything except wholesale. I ended up going somewhere else. But I did find out that Elias Farmers Market on Front & Tilghman St. actually sells Olive Tree spices and they are very cheap. Quality is not the best I have ever used but TBH if you use spices regularly it won't make that much of a difference if you toast them up before grinding or warm up the ground spices before using. FYI if you've seen/heard that caraway seeds help with bloating and was wondering where to get some, Elias has them (Olive Tree Spices brand) and it's only about $6.xx for a big bottle (size of big McCormick spice bottles from big box store).
