"Staff was so flexible with amending our reservation (time and size of party). We went to celebrate my mid's bday. Beautiful scenery and decor. Our waiter Colin was very friendly and accommodating. The servings were generous and prices were fair. We all loved our meals. Having validated parking on site was a huge plus!"

Dok Khao Thai Eatery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (705) • $$

"Dok Khao was a 5 star experience from start to finish. We walked up and saw it was PACKED - but I was undeterred. We were told there'd be a 30 minute wait, and they texted a link that allowed us to efficiently track where we were in line. The 25 minutes of watching happy diners and busy bartenders ensured our appetites could remain primed and ready. The decor was aesthetically pleasing and well selected, the dining room energy was thrilling, and I can see why so many people opt to have their birthday there!There were so many enticing menu items that we had a hard time choosing, and truth be told - I'd order every single item again.Starters: Bangkok wings, curry puffs, and nam tok.Mains: Lychee Duck Curry special, Pad Ka PowDesserts: Thai tea crème brûlée, sweet sticky rice with Thai custard I am salivating over everything just writing about it. We truly ate like kings and the bill wasn't as painful as one would think. I can't wait to come back!!"

"Started off Sunday Funday with brunch here @3. Got seated 20 mins early.We sat in the middle section of the restaurant.Our table was wobbly but an employee came thru and helped to remedy the situationI got the Blackened Salmon Fillet & Eggs $25.95: Fresh pan-seared salmon, filleted daily, two eggs any style, home friesThis entree meal was delicious, filling and tastyFriend got the Organic stone-ground, 3 cheese grits, in a saffron white wine broth with Blackened Salmon$25.95. He said this was great. AND The GRITS were soooo good! I wish I got grits on the side :)We also opted for the Bottomless Mimosas, $30.00 each. For each flavor, the mimosas came in a carafe. The OJ and Peach flavor were the best to meA Live DJ started playing around 4p which was a lot of fun. Music was also playing before the DJ - good music!Glad we ended up coming here to brunch!"

Jewel of India

★★★★☆ 4.2 (728) • $$

"This was the BEST Indian food I've ever had. Hands down. It's a lovely little spot (albeit in a strip mall) that is tastefully decorated and smells amazing even from the parking lot. It was impeccable service and the FOOD. Oh my goodness. There were four of us and we shared 4 different entrees. The Mixed Grill was perfect because it gave you a few of the proteins in different spices. The black and yellow lentils were amazing. The NAAN was warm and crispy on the edges and soft and fluffy in the middle. We had a bottle of Indian Chenin Blanc that went great with our meal. Everything was absolutely delicious and we left not one bite uneaten. I can't wait to go back and try more things on the menu. If you like Indian food- The Jewel of India in White Oak is where its at!"

"LOVE this place!! I come here often mainly for dinner--arriving into the complex, the parking lot is very dark and not well lit, but don't be fooled, once you get inside it's well lit and has a nice fancy vibe. Food is AMAZING! Top recommendations are the Chicken Tikka Masala/Butter Chicken, Lamb Shank, Garlic Naan or Goat Cheese Naan and Fish Curry! Their Butter Chicken is the best I've had in the DMV area--so delicious especially if you dip the naan bread in the masala sauce--I usually request for extra sauce on the side. The Lamb Vindaloo and Beef Tenderloin are good too! Portions are huge, so expect to get very full.Service is always great--love sitting at the bar because all the bartenders are super cool. They have a full bar and offer lot of the high end whiskey/scotch/bourbon that you don't see too often in other restaurants. The owner comes around too and always stops by to say hi to us."

Julep Southern Kitchen & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (566) • $$

"First let me say this restaurant has great customer service as well as great food. I will definitely be back to try some new items. We had the crab dip, fish and chips, and shrimp and grits. The grits could've been a little creamier, but everything else was delicious!"

★★★★☆ 4.2 (585) • $$

"When I arrived I was SUPER shocked because I thought this was a regular sit down restaurant. After walking inside you are greeted with several different options across a wide range of cultures. If you was feeling for sushi, pizza, burritos or even ramen they have that option. They even have a section where a "new restaurant" is available for a limited time. Unfortunately when I was there the pop up shop wasn't going to open until 2 days later so i definitely will be visiting again."

"Well well, what can I say? I really really really wanted to love this place. But this place wouldn't let me be great. After attending a local Yelp event, I chose this place over one of my favorites because it was nearby and it has some really good Yelp reviews so I was really interested in visiting and sharing the same experience. I did not share that same experience.My Yelp friend and I decided to give this place a visit. When we 1st entered, there was a older guy named Mike. He was initially personable although really wasn't too helpful in identifying 2 seats. I asked about 2 bar seats in front of us and he told us no one was sitting there but it looks like someone has to clean it up. And that was it. He had no interest in wiping down the bar area for us or making arrangements with someone else to do it. That was a little bothersome.Another staff member (from the bar) did eventually agree to wipe the cluttered counter and we were pleased.Immediately when we sat down and requested water. ... I'm going to lessen the suspense about the water... we never got it. Collectively we ordered...- Mai Kinda Tai (Apricot Allspice Rum, Orgeat Syrup Grand Marnier, Lime Grapefruit)- Brussels Sprouts (Black Garlic Aioli, Chili Oil, Coppa)- Meatballs (House Ricotta, Tomato Sauce)- Crispy Pork BellySoon after ordering, we noticed an older couple walked in and not only were they greeted ecstatically, the older guy Mike actually cleaned off the bar area for them.Next, the bar guy Tim that was assisting us and never brought us waters, IMMEDIATELY brought them two waters. I didn't even hear them ask for water !!I'm not sure why we couldn't have water this evening but we just couldn't have water this evening.Waited 15+ minutes for bill after asking for it. Another 5 minutes while waiting for cc's and signature receipts. Something positive...The food was absolutely amazing! The food came out within 7 to 10 minutes of ordering, beautifully plated and delicious! Perfect temperature presentation!Sadly I was considering this place as one of my birthday event locations but that will not happen!! As much as I absolutely love the food, I can't go anywhere EVER where I'm not appreciated. It's 1 thing if the food wasn't as great but the customer service was bad and intentional.I can't deal with bad customer service.Do better!"

Ale House Columbia

★★★★☆ 3.5 (774) • $$

"We went with a large lax team competing in the area. They were able to accommodate our hungry crew after our last game. From the service, food & ambiance it was top notched. The waiter was swift and attentive with our orders. My dirty martini after a long day hit the spot! I ordered the salmon BLT and got a side salad instead of fries. The side salad was so large I had to take the rest home. My salmon BLT had a great balance of salmon to sandwich and the bacon was thick and crispy. My son was satisfied with his burger but felt his mac and cheese fell short. Overall we would come back again, they did a great job handling this large group!"

Preserve

★★★★☆ 4.3 (471) • $$

"I had lunch at Preserve last week when I was in Annapolis for some meetings. I'd had the restaurant on my list for a while, but thought it wasn't open for lunch for some reason! When I realized, I had been wrong about that, I walked over as fast I could in that snowy weather! I was quickly welcomed to the restaurant and sat at the bar (my preference when I'm enjoying a meal alone). The restaurant was comfortable, cozy, and warm - perfect on a winter day. It's not a large restaurant (they do have some outside seating in nice weather), but it wasn't busy when I arrived for lunch on a weekday (definitely could have been the weather, though)! The service was also great. I enjoyed a glass of wine from their list of wines by the glass (a more interesting selection than the average restaurant for sure), their pierogis (they were gruyere and mushroom on the day I visited), and their Harvest salad. I'd eat that Harvest salad any day of the week. It still kind of blows my mind when restaurants put croutons on a salad when breadcrumbs are just infinitely better on a salad (the breadcrumbs spread around the salad so that you get texture with every bite) and that plus the dressing plus the great goat cheese?! Loved. That. Salad. Their menu seems to change up a lot (the menu on their website is not the same as the one I ordered from last week), which means there is often something new to try. And their menu is interesting and creative. They're not phoning it in by any means. I had heard Preserve was good. That's why it was on my to try list! But it really lived up to my expectations. I'm sure I'll be back for that salad again in no time."

Taco Love Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (490) • $$

"This restaurant is amazing! I visited this restaurant while in the area visiting family. The menu offers a number of different enticing options. It took me a minute to decide what to order. I settled on the Tacos Dorados. As an appetizer, our table orders the Choriqueso. The queso with chorizo is as absolutely, positively on point. This menu item is a must order. You will not be disappointed. The Tacos Dorados was SLAPPIN'. I ordered carnita meat with the fried tacos, which were topped with lettuce, tomato, sour cream and cheese. It was so good. I was not so much fan of their rice and black beans, but regardless of that, the main entree was great. Check out my pic of the Steak Fajita Platter. It was ordered by a member of my party. He absolutely loved his order. The customer service here was superb! I mean exceptional! Our waitress was pleasant when chatting with us and taking our orders. Between the service and relaxed environment of the restaurant, the ambiance here was a home run. Taco Love is one of my new favorite spots when I am in the area."

Madrones

★★★★☆ 3.8 (593) • $$

"We were wandering around Lunch time, and after passing Madrones 20 times, we thought, why not let's stop in?The appetizer we got (the steak appetizer) was amazing. The two sauces were perfectly paired.The food was prepared nicely, and we could relax and enjoy the meal. It was a great place to stop and enjoy lunch. The only knocks I would have on the place are it is a bit loud (when it's a meal rush and there are many people at the bar) and parking is difficult.They are in a corner spot of a strip mall that is heavily trafficked, and finding a spot is hard."

Xenia Greek Kouzina

★★★★☆ 4.4 (436) • $$$

"Great food and great service at reasonable prices. Nice bar and a decent although relatively short drinks list. Star items:1. Tuna tartare - Wild bigeye tuna tossed with Meyer lemon and Greek extra virgin olive oil with cucumbers, shallots, and avocado mousse. Lots of great flavors and textures. Decent portion size.2. The lamb shank - slow braised. Super tender and flavorful. Paired with orzo and a vegetable stew.Logistics: Plenty of parking. Reservations via Open Table.

Neighborhood bar/grill vibe! Pours at the bar are FANTASTIC, hence the 4 stars! I had one drink and I was DONE. One and done here so do the math on that, score! Crab egg rolls are on the menu....they are good.I had the salmon and shrimp, it was decent. Overall, fair! 3 stars for food! Service, 5 stars! Everyone was nice! 5 stars for the bar.... Overall 4 stars from this old frequent customer."

"Stopped by and picked up some meatballs for dinner. I am still eating keto so I'm always looking for something that I can eat that is keto. I take my own keto bread and it's awesome to eat their meatballs with the keto bread. Win win. The parking lot is handicapped accessible as is the restaurant. They are usually pretty busy especially on weekends. The restrooms are clean and have a handicap stall The service is very quick. You can order ahead of time for take out or eat in. I recommend them for parties or if you love Italian food try this place-you won't regret it."

Blue Agave Restaurante y Tequileria

★★★★☆ 3.6 (600) • $$

"This is one of my favorite spots to go to for happy hour. You absolutely have to try the spicy guava margarita. If you happen to be here for brunch, they offer a nice tequila flight or a mimosa flight. Both are amazing. I usually only order appetizers which are large portions and sit at the bar because the atmosphere is always fun and the bartender service is excellent."

Alexander's Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.1 (459) • $$

"Food/drinks: Delicious, extensive gluten free menu! (And also great for those with no allergy restrictions). I got a crab cake - a GF crab cake!! - with large lumps of crab. It's been years since I've been able to have one and it was very worth it. Asparagus was fresh. Fries were delicious. The sweet potato tots were too sweet; I wouldn't do them again. I had a yummy mocktail too! Service: Good! Came with my baby and they were very accommodating. Ambiance: It's a tavern feel, so no frills, which might surprise you given the price. But it was very chill and nice to watch people walking by. There were so many things I wanted to try (because when do you find high quality GF food), but I'd really love to do another crab cake."

GrillMarx Steakhouse & Raw Bar

★★★★☆ 3.6 (587) • $$

"Came here before field of screams on a Friday evening. The ambiance is cute. I would describe the vibe as elevated casual.It's a pretty small place and a little cramped, but the decor is cute and cozy. Our server was nice enough, although he could have been a little more attentive. I ordered the seasonal pumpkin spiced martini which was absolutely delicious. My second drink was my favorite though. It was called heaven and hell - the menu description is "Rum Haven Coconut Rum / Pineapple Juice / Lime Juice / Habanero Simple / Jalapeno Garnish." It was the best drink I've had in a really long time. It had the perfect balance of sweetness and spiciness. I would highly recommended it. A woman, I'm assuming the manager, came over and asked if my gf and I needed anything and that's when I ordered the heaven and hell drink. The woman was nice enough to give that round to us for free! I wasn't expecting that at all. For dinner I got the meatloaf and my gf got the Kona kabobs. The meatloaf was absolutely the best meatloaf I've ever had. It was grilled so you got that charred flavor, but it wasn't too dry and the seasoning was on point. The mashed potatoes were delicious too, as was the gravy. I tried my gf's Kona kabobs and they were very well seasoned and tender. Overall it was an amazing meal and we had a good time. I'd definitely give them another try."

Crabtowne

"I used to come here in the 90s. It's definitely a staple in the community and it brought me back to times we could play the arcade games here all day after school. My homegirl works here and it's her family's business. I really can't say anything negative about it, but it's a solid 4 stars for me. There are 2 sides to this place, one side has the arcade games and pinball machines. I was on the other side at the bar, in front of the TV watching the game. This occurred January 4th because I was watching the Ravens at home against the Browns. The Long Island was good, probably a little too sweet, but good. I couldn't drink it all. The wings were a good size and really hot. The crab fries was good and enough for 2 people and I couldn't eat it all. The customer service was top notch. The environment was great and I will be back to rate my arcade game experience."

★★★★☆ 3.9 (448) • $$

"We stopped here on our way back from a soccer game. The crab dip, burger and the crab cake sandwich were all excellent. Best crab cake I have had in a long time-- no fillers and tastes/smells fresh. I wish we lived closer. I would come here often. And the service was impeccable."

Blue Sunday Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (490) • $$$

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at Blue Sunday, and I can confidently say it's a gem worth visiting! I appreciate them being able to sit a party of 12 without prior notice. The food is absolutely delicious, with every dish bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection. From appetizers to dessert, everything was thoughtfully crafted and tasted amazing.What truly sets Blue Sunday apart, though, is the incredible customer service. Big shout out to my waiter Gavrielle. The staff was attentive, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was flawless. Whether it was helping us navigate the menu or checking in to ensure everything was to our liking, their kindness and professionalism truly stood out.If you're looking for a place with exceptional food and top-notch service, Blue Sunday is the spot. Highly recommended!#EatGoodAndBeHappy"

I got the Drunken Noodles with beef at the Spicy level, and it was delicious. The green beans had a nice crispiness, and overall, everything was excellent. The food came well-packaged in a box, and the prices were reasonable.I'll definitely be back. I'm especially interested in trying their happy hour, as they have a nicely sized bar that looks inviting."

Had their burger of the day special however I can't remember what it was called but nonetheless it was very delicious. Cooked the way I wanted it, medium rare with the pink center. Fries were very good, nice and home cut. And the service was very good. This place had a very country, very saloon like feel. Highly recommend this Oscars Ale house for great food."

"Awesome place for food and drinks! Get in here and peruse a REAL bourbon and whiskey selection. It's stunning how many top shelf ones they have on hand. The food was amazing too! We decided to have one burger and split it with three of their appetizers to share as well. They had mushroom soup that was delicious and creamy as well as savory. We had the seafood Mac and cheese that was truly a wonderful dish. We also had hand cut fries with truffle oil, we also had street corn tots with Queso fresco, creama, corn and cheese on top. Overall it was a great experience and we'd do it again. It was full on the Thursday night we went during the midnight madness, so they took our cell number and let us continue to go in other shops while we waited for our table"

"After an evening of wine tasting we were in the mood for pizza! Lol Unfortunately it was late and most places were closing but Dock Street showed extended hours and pizza was on the menu so we took a chance and ventured over here. In the heart of Marylands capital, the are reminded me of Old Town Alexandria Virginia, just not as busy and again it was a Wednesday evening...We sat down and was greeted by the bar tender with a smile. The music selection wasn't our cup of tea lol but the curly fries were seasoned well and piping hot! The pizza was ok...thin crust pepperoni pizza that brought us back to life. We shared one personal size pizza and it was just enough for us...Now would would we come back, probably not...but it served its purpose. Alls well and ends well. Happy Yelping!"

"Always a great spot to hit. I've dined in and gotten take-out many times. The restaurant is a more rustic, bar feel. The service is fairly quick and their food is phenomenal. 100% would recommend their Pulled Pork platter. Their bread pudding is also a MUST. They have a variety of different types and my favorite one is the Brownie Chunk Bread Budding."
