The Gourmet At Kenilworth - Towson

Went for a date with my husband and had great food, drinks and service for a great price!

Gotta work on ventilations. Very tough smell that stays with you for the rest of the night.

I really like this place the food is absolutely exceptional I've eaten here several times with my mother who lives very close by however it seems to me that the food quality has gone down a bit I would have given it five stars back in the day but my past few trips it seems that the food quality is slipping my favorite dish is the lobster crab dip which used to have big chunks of crab and lobster all through it as of the last few times I've had it though not so much also they give you a tiny little piece of baguette for a giant dish of crab dip you only get several little crackers and a tiny piece of baguette with about three pieces on it when you asked for more baguette you would assume that you would get half a loaf or something they charge you a $1.50 and bring you three more tiny slices so I'm a bit disappointed in that I mean there needs to be a bit more bread and crackers to eat this giant bowl of crab dip the fresh fish here is amazing I always get it and highly recommend getting some sort of fish dish you won't be sorry just be aware of this place is a bit expensive and if you get the crab dip situation be aware you're going to need to get at least one or two more baguettes in order to eat what they Supply doesn't really make any sense to me I hope they fix this cuz it's a bit disappointing as good as this dish is you need to have some way to eat it not just spoon it into your mouth overall the quality is good here if they fix the few little issues that they have this could be a five star restaurant but as of right now I can't offer the five stars due to the crab dip going down in quality and the price being so exceptionally High $1.50 for a bag at the size of a small Tangerine is a bit ridiculous especially when you don't supply enough to begin with with the dish. Also last time I was here I tried the gumbo I was not very impressed mostly sausage and Ham gumbo is supposed to have crab and shrimp in it which I did not find any as well as it was very spicy almost so spicy it was almost inedible and not served with enough rice so my recommendation is the gumbo needs an update or it could have just been a bad day this is the first time I've had the gumbo but I was not impressed and probably would not order it again this is another reason that my rating is not five stars but Overall the staff is friendly the place is beautiful on the inside and the food is very good when you get enough of it if they fix the quality issues then I could raise it back to Five Stars this will not prevent me from going back so we'll see if I change my review in the next few months as I go there at least once a month.

The menu selections are varied, you are bound to find something you like. I've enjoyed everything that I have tried from the appetizers, wings, mussels, crab dip, calamari, all good! The salmon and rainbow trout are my favorites.

I have severe allergies to raw tuna but when I saw sushi on the menu my mouth was watering. I haven't been able to eat sushi since 2006!! When I asked if there was “any way” they could accommodate me (no cross contamination) they said “no problem “. I had 2 rolls that were DEVINE!!! And I had no reaction. ??? I can't wait to go back.
