After coming back from Naples, Italy, I can say the pizza was so delicious and made well, it could have been served in Italy! Also, the Aperole spritz and Hugo spritz were delicious drinks made by Tom. Reminiscent of an Italian Happy hour. Loved the calamari small dish and the potato chip crusted onion rings both were unique and amazing! Our server, Kimani, kept our glasses filled, food ordered and checked on us regularly. She was a delight to talk with and made our experience the best! Food came out promptly. Staff was friendly. The decor was great. It's an upscale casual dining place that is fun to visit. We loved the place and the General Manager, Jess Steirer, was open to our suggestion of adding oysters on the menu. Fun time, great food!

I feel terrible for starting to eat my dinner before thinking to snap a pic as the presentation was…read morereally nice. Everything was bright fresh and inviting. But the taste is what really matters and Grilled Sesame Salmon didn't disappoint. Wow!! I thought British food was supposed to be flavorless. The Salmon was both sweet and spicy with the teriyaki bang-bang glaze. The jasmine rice cakes added the perfect amount of crunch and the vegetables were as fresh as they appeared. The pub side of the restaurant feels British with ornate wooden features and sounds of laughter from all around. The bartender are knowledgeable and engaging. Most importantly they made me a proper Makers Mark Manhattan filled to the absolute top of glass to top off an outstanding dinner.

So this review is going to be short and sweet, but with one VERY important note. Those of you who…read moreread my reviews know I typically review either really good or really "not so good" restaurants. I'm breaking my own rules, because I feel the 3.9 rating is pretty accurate, with one 5 star + exception. This was a business lunch and a convenient location so there we were. The duck fries as an appetizer were good but needed to be seasoned with a little more salt. I had a strawberry salad with some grilled chicken that was good with the greens, but dry as the desert with the chicken and borderline inedible. Here's the twist!!! My two compadres both had the grilled cheese and lobster sandwich. They both looked at me sheepishly and said, you f ed up!!! William was kind enough to break off a substantial bite and let me try it. Angels sang, children wept, and I almost passed out! It was the kind of perfection we all agreed we would have eaten 5, maybe 6 of these unnaturally awesome sandwiches until we passed out! 3.5 Star service, 4 Star ambience, and some 10 Star bites! Cheers, JimG

My husband gets the classic burger, which is also very good. Our kids usually get the pizza, tenders, or the butter noodles with Parmesan cheese. Their favorites are definitely the tenders and the butter noodles. The fries are very tasty, too. We also always get the pretzel and cheese appetizer, and it's a hit with all of us. The atmosphere is nice, and they have a great selection of draft options -- our go‑to is the Lucky 12. The staff is extremely friendly, and we always feel welcome. We'll definitely continue coming here.

We decided to give his place a try. We ordered their burgers and their kid size fish and chips. Their burgers have really good flavor. Size portion is good. Fresh potato fries. Their fish and chips were okay. The fish wasn't as crispy as I expected. More on the softer side. However, the fish size was decent. Definitely worth giving this place a try if you are in the mood for food. Good also for social gatherings.

Sonoma's Bar & Grill is a smallish restaurant and bar with good music, food, drink, and staff…read more We know someone in an all-woman Beatles-cover-band, Magical Mystery Girls, so we followed them to Sonoma's here and found a standing-room-only crowd! (Apr 2026). We hunted among filled tables until we found a one-seat open high-top and managed to beg another seat from elsewhere. We had a great view of the stage. We ordered beers directly from the bar because our table was sort of improvised. We got a Burger Shark draft, a smooth malty amber ale from Odenton's own Crooked Crab. And a good-old ice-cold bottled Natty Boh lager. The drinks were served right away. And in those few minutes, staff (it looked like a hands-on chip-in manager!) took us on at our invented table, and got our out-of-order food-order to us pretty quickly. We had a piping-hot sweet tender Yuengling-Beer-Battered Cod Sandwich on a brioche-textured bun, with a classic thick-yet-light crispy batter, american cheese, lettuce, and lightly spicy ranch. And a savory Grilled Smoked Portobello on a thick pretzel bun, piled high with roasted red peppers, onions, provolone, and lettuce. Both delicious and inexpensive. The band was lots of fun! Of course we knew every song. The band landed every riff and musical phrase that you know and love, yes they can hit Paul's high notes! And they bring enough original touches to each song to make the music their own. Tonight was their quartet (not their 6-piece band), and each musician had the lead in at least one song. They are loud, filling the room even with all the people soaking up the vibes. I almost didn't mention that Sonoma's keeps a dance-floor open in front of the stage, and we rocked all evening! We had a great boisterous, thirst-quenching, tasty, welcoming evening. I would expect this shopping center to re-grow around this popular long-time restaurant-bar music-venue (since 1996!). TLDR location info next, but it might save you a trip to the wrong shopping center. You'll find Sonoma's in the "Owen Brown Village Shopping Center" on the south arm of Cradlerock Way circle off Broken Land Parkway. This is the Center with the gas station, not the center next door with the big-chain grocery, and not the smaller center with the convenience store around the north arm of Cradlerock. This center is somewhat sleepy these days, so there's plenty of parking. There's more parking in a northeast lot, too. From the main lot, you walk by the nail salon, then turn between the buildings where the Chick 'n Friends chicken-shop used to be. (Best Pressure-fried Chicken and delicious catfish now at a different location!) It's a short walk southeast to Sonoma's on the right, with outdoor tables and a bright blue-and-yellow hard-seltzer ad facing the Lake Eikhorn trail and the back of the grocery. The actual Sonoma's sign above the entrance is subtle compared with the bright window ad.

Friday 7:30pm Reservation…read more JUNETEENTH A Blind Date on Juneteenth? Umm Heck Yes My date ... ok My Sugar Daddy Date made arrangements at Lak per my request. I wanted to try something new from the Collection blog written by fellow Elite member Kendall. There was a Juneteenth celebration happening in the area of the restaurant so parking was tight . But when you have a sugar daddy , premier handicap parking is always available This restaurant is located inside the Merriweather Lakefront Hotel. There is a parking garage directly across the street for you regular ppl. Anyways ... this location is kind of in a cul-de-sac. So the Juneteenth celebration made a lot of foot traffic traveling from Whole Foods to the parking garage. This is a great place to have a staycation. The entrance is beautiful and once you enter , you see the nostalgic concert posters and music related artwork . The bathroom was clean . The hosts were attentive and polite. Madison , a beautiful blonde , greeted us and gave us the option to sit outside or inside. I chose outside so we could have a view of the lake. Madison cleaned the 6 seat table I wanted . Seats were comfy btw. A little dirty from crumbs for an upscale restaurant. It was the perfect day to sit outside. Ppl would look up from the trail, pointing, and wondering what restaurant we were eating at. The bugs were minimal. Brendan was our server. Yall This place is so dang on PEACEFUL. My date and I sat and chatted for 4 hours. Truly a great first date. The servers did not rush us out at closing time. I think that the hotel allows the guests to sit outside after hours because we did not leave until 11pm. We ordered several drinks of Bonanza ( RED NAPA VALLEY WINE) Despite the beautiful time we had , I gave this place 3 stars because my dang on plate was lukewarm. We didn't come here to be cheap . A lukewarm plate of short rib and chicken Milano is deplorable. I mean, as a server if you don't see the steam coming off the plate why would you bring it out ? We did not order appetizers. I didn't complain because I didn't want to be "bitchy" but they brought my food before they brought my drinks. That really confused me. Cold food ? Late glasses of wine ? I'm not sure what was going on inside. I would go back . But I will speak up next time because this is considered UPSCALE. No pictures. My IPHONE was full and I decided to live in the moment.
