Catonsville Gourmet

The food was pretty good. The short ribs were tasty, but the veggie side of broccolini was practically raw and not well-seasoned at all. The highlight of the meal was dessert: a slice of Smith Island Cake from Sugar Bakers. Absolutely delicious, moist, peanut buttery, chocolatey cake.

Great restaurant with great vibe and unlike most in area. Great fresh oysters- sit at oyster bar for happy hour!!!

We had the unfortunate experience of having a single diner seated next to our table who chose to engage others on her phone throughout her stay. Her conversation was loud, and the phone was on speakerphone. We could not converse amongst ourselves. When we asked the manager on duty to confront the diner and seek a solution, she even had to ask us to repeat ourselves because she herself could not hear due to the loud phone conversation. The Manager responded that the restaurant has no policy regarding cellphones and would not say anything to the diner on the phone. She then offered to provide us boxes to pack up our lunches. Net, the rude behavior continued. In summary, an awful experience.

Food was food.. my Crab bisque was luke warm and it is very thick. Shrimp salad was delish!!

I did pick up. The order did not have what I ordered and no utensils that I asked for. I was taking it to my Mom for Mother’s Day. It was cold and nothing to eat it with. Will no go back
