I start naming a few seafood places but she's not into any of my suggestions. I said I have a great Lebanese spot and we can park in front? Sold! We make our way to Lebanese Taverna. I thought I was being cool with the restaurant suggestion but then tells me her dad is Lebanese? We're greeted by the hostess and shown to a booth. The restaurant beautifully decorated and it's deceiving from the outside. Lebanese Taverna is a huge restaurant with plenty of seating. We're given menus and I sit back and let my coworker order all of the sharable items. We started with Kibbeh: stuffed beef and lamb fritters as well as beef and lamb Shawarma Rolls. I'm getting a thumbs up from my coworker except she said her mom makes both dishes better. Who am I to argue? Mom's cooking is always better! Great spot to dine at the Baltimore harbor.

It was a very busy Monday night yesterday. I hope that is atypical. The restaurant largely felt…read morepoorly managed. Servers didn't have normal "sections." They were all over the place. It was Mezza Monday ("unlimited") small plates but we were barely able to order a "Second helping" after being there for 2 hours. The first round of food took over an hour. Luckily, we tracked down our waitress for a second round and it took 20 minutes. Worst part was that it was my sister's birthday. While our server Angel comp'ed a second glass of wine for her, it was 2 hours and 15 minutes before we were able to ask for the check and were ready to go so their normal birthday dessert was no longer an option. I usually go for happy hour and have good food service when the dining room isn't busy. I won't go back for a bit, but I hope another dinner time service is better managed!

What truly stands out is the level of creativity and execution coming out of the kitchen under Chef Brandon Beringer. This is a fully plant-based tasting menu, but it never once feels like a compromise. Each course is intentional, beautifully presented, and layered with flavors and textures that rival any traditional fine dining experience. The progression of the meal is especially impressive -- dishes build on one another in a way that feels curated and purposeful, not just a sequence of plates. It's clear that a great deal of thought goes into both the composition of each dish and the overall arc of the evening. What makes this even more notable is that Ground Provisions has earned recognition as a James Beard Award semifinalist, a well-deserved acknowledgment of the quality and originality of what's being created here. For anyone who appreciates thoughtful, chef-driven dining -- whether you're plant-based or not -- this is a must-visit. It's not just a meal, it's an experience.

As we were walking back towards our hotel, we actually were passing here so I chose it for our din din spot. I thought for sure it was going to be packed but luckily it was not. I knew I wanted a burger but was struggling with choosing which one. Hubs knew he wanted the Cheesesteak and knew I wanted fries. I went with the Smokehouse burger. We grabbed a seat and did not wait long for our food to come out. I really enjoyed my burger and scarfed it down! I paid for sauces, which were tiny and super overpriced. Hubs enjoyed his cheesesteak but he prefers meat. I had a bite and thought it was really flavorful and very closely tasting like the real thing. I noticed later this is a chain, which is pretty cool. I think the prices were pretty steep so I might skip on the fries next time. The food could have been warmer as well. Definitely worth a visit and will most likely be back when in DC again.

My boyfriend's dad was visiting from out of town and we decided to take a chance and see if they had any spots open for a Friday night dinner for 3. They luckily did and we were lucky to find street parking right in front of the restaurant. The interior is done up very nicely with cultural decorative elements from the Afghani diaspora. Service was very fast and attentive and food did not take too long to get to us. I ordered the lamb shank with the raisin and carrot rice (as did my boyfriend's dad) and my boyfriend got the vegetable sampler. The lamb shank was so tender and the seasoning on it was so savory and complemented perfectly by the slightly sweet bursts of the raisins in the rice it came with. My boyfriends platter was also a smorgasbord of delicious looking veggie dishes. The prices are also very affordable in this neverending climate of higher prices for a nice meal out. Would absolutely recommend this place (I totally get why everyone raves about it) and will continue to visit in the future.

Our pizzas were made really well, the dough was nice and crispy, the Mariana was a little sweet but overall really good. I wish my chicken pizza had a tad more chicken, my friends pep was pepping for sure. If you're ever in Fed Hill after bar hopping you cannot go wrong with coming here.

This is a Black owned business. Her food is all organic. So we decided to go with her for our Valentine's day dinner. I'm so glad we did. The food was excellent! First time trying her (lambless) lamb chops. Omg it was delicious! The (crabless) crabcake was even good. Now I'm a seafood lover. So it was pretty hard to pull that off. We enjoyed it all. Especially the cheese & Fruit platter. She definitely did not disappoint us. I definitely can see us returning to check out her other menu options. masks are required. Keep in mind this is a carryout establishment. It is located in a house. Signs are located on the side to enter the house from the side and go around the back to pick up your delivery. They also provide free delivery within 15 miles. Also other delivery options available. Parking is located in the driveway and street side. I will definitely be checking out her other vegan options for the future.
