    SALMON BLT
    Brianna J.

    Came to this establishment on a Sunday for their bottomless mimosa brunch with my family. When we walked in, it took about 1 to 3 minutes for anybody to approach us. The person who did approach us was not the friendliest and informed us that there were no small tables, and that there was an event going on and that we could not have brunch at the restaurant. We left, and as we were looking for a new restaurant to go to a woman walked out of the restaurant and came up to us and told us that we could come and have brunch at the restaurant and allowed us to join in their Christmas themed event that they had going on. The event was very nice all of the people who were running the event were very sweet and the food and ambience were great.

    Amazing brunch I know some people said it went downhill but I think the food quality hasn't changed and thoroughly enjoyed my food

    So irritating to make a reservation here. I made one for 4 and wanted to change to 5 and they "couldn't" because they "didn't have space." What a joke. We showed up and there were three empty tables that remained empty next to us during the duration of our visit. I had asked over the phone while making the reservation if we could just pull up an extra chair. "Absolutely not because they wouldn't be able to provide us good service. Okay.. so we came for my birthday brunch. I wanted to try something new and give this place a chance. Mistake. The only good thing was the drink I had. The food was crap LOL my friends' meals literally looked like a high school cafeteria meal like literal dog food. They were really upset. On top of that there was a large and extremely annoying and loud party of about 15 girls in the same room as us. They kept screaming and halfway through our time here, I watched an employee take a chair and give them the ability to add to their table but I had to tell my friend she couldn't come because they couldn't accommodate even one more person at our table (even though there was space). This place is a joke and we all couldn't wait to leave. Save your time and money and go to Eggspectation or First Watch.

    Ive been for brunch a few times and each time it was pretty good. Service isnt always the quickest but the drinks are strong so I appreciate the extra time to sober up lol. I know they still do bottomless but after one or two im done so ive never taken part. Food wise i also have no complaint. I typically stick to the brunch options but everything ive put in my mouth here is good. There is a good amount of parking around back that i dont think people realize but its so easy to get a paid spot and to come in through the back door, I would like to try the patio out once the weather breaks but I will for sure be back.

    Nice quiet setting. They have 2 sides and 2 bars to enjoy yourself. One side with bigger bar has more dining room sitting. Other side has smaller bar with smaller dining area that can be arranged to fit a large group if needed. Started with a nice portion sized Caesar salad. Entree was the steak frites. Steak was cooked to the perfect medium well temp. Parmesan truffle fries were pretty good. The house made steak sauce had a nice tangy taste to it but it went well with the steak. Not pictured was the Charm city lemonade.

    We chose this spot as it is open until 2 AM. Live music, good drinks and the kitchen closed at 10. We sat at a table and realized there would be no service. We transitioned to the bar to 8nteract with the bartender, be greeted by new people and enjoy the libations. Excellent venue in a college town for alumni/family visitors.

    Noah is a rock star. He gave the point an extra star just because of him. Noah worked his butt off al night and still was extremely helpful and attentive. He tried hard to make the right choice and I should have listened. The steak frites were not very good. The fries that it was on were soggy and had a weird taste. Noah told me to try the burger. My daughter did. So I had some of hers. It was better than he described. My friend had the crab cakes which he loved and my daughter sorority sister had the salmon sandwich. The apps were great. Live music. Stick with everything but the steak and you will love it here. Ask for Noah too. He's the man.

    CHICKEN & WAFFLES Southern Fried Chicken | Brown Sugar Waffles | Maple Syrup | Eggs Your Way
    Carlyn P.

    I came here for brunch. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles which includes Southern Fried Chicken, Brown Sugar Waffles, Maple Syrup, and Eggs Your Way. I added breakfast potatoes and had my eggs to be scrambled with the egg whites only. The food was very good. The waffles are not the traditional large size, but it was more than enough for me. I appreciated the non-traditional size because I am lowering my carbs. I'd like to highlight the orange juice. I was disappointed that they put ice in the juice; that's super weird to me. Who wants to deal with watered down orange juice. But friend...I took a sip and realized that this was not Tropicana. Lol. This was fresh fresh fresh orange juice. The quality was so good, I didnt complain about the juice being on ice. It is to your benefit to order the orange juice. The overall experience was okay. I would have given three stars, but towards the end my friend began choking. Someone from the kitchen heard him and ran from the kitchen to our table. He came to his side and was ready to perform the Heimlich. My friend stopped choking before the Heimlich was needed, but my heart was overwhelmed by his genuine concern for a stranger. Because of the staff member's humanity, I gave my experience 4 stars.

    So my sister and I decided to check out the point for happy hour since we love the one downtown so much. Parking wasn't ideal but that's not the restaurants fault of course. We parked and walked about a block which wasn't terrible, it was just cold. Finding the restaurant was a little difficult but once we got close, the signage was great. We walked in and we're greeted fairly quickly. The bartender brought us menus and was very nice. Thankfully the place wasn't crowded because the bartender was our server as well. The happy hour menu had plenty of options which was great because we ordered them all to try. The specials for drinks were pretty good too. They had 2 for 1 drinks and their rail options weren't awful. I also liked that they had multiple options for all different types of alcohol. My drink wasn't that great. I ordered a Jameson with seltzer water and lime juice. I said a little seltzer and they brought me a cup full which was quite disgusting. I think If it was ginger ale, it would have been fine, but it was way too much seltzer. My sister was able to get hers down but said it was nothing to write home about. The food starting arriving and it was all correct. It was nice and hot and looked pretty tasty. None of it was nasty per se but it wasn't great. The service was awesome and the place itself was your typical bar set up, however I think I'll stick to the one downtown.

    Nice place for drink. We checked their menu online before coming in. The online menu seems pretty cool and promise such as the happy hours. But the happy hour drinks are not as in the menu. The bartender told us that it's regular drink and cocktails does not belong to the happy hours list. It's pretty quiet place. The bartender did not care much about us. I always had to call him over even though he was not busy. Food are okay, a little expensive.

    I have only been to the Point bar hopping never for a sit down meal. They were offering restaurant week (not sure if the things from restaurant week are on their regular menu!) and the food sounded delicious so we went! The service was pretty slow, we had to flag down the waiter in order to have him to refill our waters and even ask where our food was because it seemed that other tables were receiving our food before us. Taste wise- we ordered the lobster bisque but it was very bland, no flavor and to be honest, tasted like carrot soup.For the other apps we got the tempura brocolli and the buffalo chicken arancini which actually was pretty good! The arancini was something new I haven't tried and it was like a fried rice ball with chicken inside smothered in buffalo sauce. The spicy ness from the buffalo sauce wasn't over powering and the chicken to rice ratio was good. The tempura broccoli was pretty good, sweet and good crisp. For the entrée, the steak, I felt wasn't even seasoned and I asked for medium rare and it was well over cooked. We also got a seafood pasta (I don't remember the name and I don't see it on their restaurant week menu anymore) which was delicious, the sauce was very good, good creaminess too it and not too salty and not too sweet. There was seafood and it paired nicely with the dish. If the same restaurant menu came out I would do the Buffalo chicken arancini or tempura broccoli with the seafood pasta.

    Clandestino has grown up, literally. What began as a small operation in Frederick has moved into a…read morelarger space, and the expansion suits them well. This is Puerto Rican pitorro, also known as ron cañita, made with care and intention rather than gimmickry. Many local liquor stores now carry the brand, and it is well worth picking up a bottle, but visiting the distillery is an experience in itself. The founder is a fellow Puerto Rican born retired military member, a background I share, and like me, he has put down roots in Maryland. That story is reflected clearly in the brand's own framing, "Puerto Rican born, Maryland made." The space feels grounded and unpretentious, and that sensibility carries through to the hospitality. We arrived late on a Saturday and were still welcomed warmly, never rushed. We were taken care of by the founder's daughter, who was exceptionally kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. She guided us through a flight that included the traditional pitorro, almond, pineapple, coffee, coconut chai, and several seasonal offerings. The flavors were thoughtful and well balanced; even the infused expressions retained a clear rum backbone rather than drifting into novelty. We enjoyed them enough to leave with several bottles. This is artisanal pitorro done right, rooted in Puerto Rican tradition and confidently made in Maryland. Buying it locally is convenient, but going to the distillery is where the people, the story, and the spirit fully come together.

    This local speakeasy has quickly moved its way to the top of my list…read more I love the ease of parking, safe neighborhood, and spacious speakeasy space. Always great service by bar manager Charlie, fantastic food and beverage menu and options. My favs so far are the grilled wings and chicken tortilla soup. The drinks are pretty awesome, and Charlie the Great can alter beverages to your preference if you prefer. This is an overall mezcal bar, but they have other libations as well. My fav is John Updike's Old Fashioned. My son ordered and loved the Strawberry Gin & Tonic. This establishment is a great conversation starter, and I look forward to returning asap.

Not an appetizing presentation. In summary, I think the bar and wait staff were great, but the kitchen staff need some retraining.
