The Beaumont

I haven't had a world-class, "I'm thinking about you the day after" kinda dinner in so long! My goodness.The Beaumont, from the exterior, is unassuming. No frills. But, inside -- while small-- is quaint and exudes a simplistic, elegant decor with exposed cobblestone walls.Appetizers: We tried the deviled eggs and fried lobster tails. The deviled eggs were good, not bad. They were topped with jumbo lump crab meat and wasabi tobiko. The lobster tails though?! Perfectly cooked. So succulent and juicy -- absolutely nothing needs to be improved!Entrees: I had the jumbo lump crab cakes with roasted yukon gold potatoes and asparagus, while my dining companion had the 22 oz bone-in ribeye, served with potatoes and string beans.The lump crab cakes served up to the name -- L U M P and 5 oz each -- no filler! That's how you do it! The asparagus had a citrus butter flavor, and the potatoes were seasoned well too. This dish was $24.Now, bring in the ribeye. My mouth is actually salivating while typing this. It was so, so juicy. It came out hot with the right amount of char and flavor. Chef's kiss. This dish will run you $76.I mention the prices because Joe's in DC has always been my favorite for a good ribeye. The Beaumont has them defeated. TKO. RIP, Joe's. With the latter, you also pay for your sides a la carte. Now, I understand the difference in location which can impact pricing, but with that aside, The Beaumont still wins for me. The quality is there and so is the price point.Lastly, but certainly not least, Marcel. He was our table-side host. Marcel knows the restaurant (as he should), and recommended so many great dishes. He was personable, attentive and even entertained my Steph Curry comparisons. Top-notch customer service.Listen, people, if you stayed around to read this long review, then just make sure you visit! Cheers!

BLUF: Steaks and entrees in downtown Catonsville in a fairly casual atmosphere for the price point.Beaumont's, located in downtown Catonsville, offers delicious steaks and plenty of other menu options but we were there for steak. If you are super serious about your beef, they offer a 60 oz. tomahawk cut from Chicago but I am not nearly that cool so I went with a 8 oz filet mignon and two sizes. There was a good variety of sides to chose from and I skipped right over the veggies and indulged in carb heaven with creamy mac and cheese and a hearty twice-baked potato. My filet mignon, paired with these sides, was around $60, but the portions were generous enough to feel like two meals. Our bartender and server, Jessica, made the evening even better with her friendly service and attentive care. On a quiet, snowy evening, we enjoyed the cozy, intimate ambiance and her undivided attention. Aside from the delicious steaks and awesome service, one of the highlights was the unique Beaumont pepper mill--a nearly three-foot-long contraption that more closely resembles a staircase newel post than a pepper grinder! It made for fun conversation to an already excellent experience. Seriously, how long is that peppermill? The Beaumont is located in downtown Catonsville and as far as I can tell they don't have their own lot out back. Since it was a snowy night we easily found parking out front on the street. Making reservations for our party of four was a breeze through OpenTable. A shout out to the local weather forecasters who forecasted something like six to nine inches of snow that evening. As a result, everyone stayed home and we nearly had the whole restaurant to ourselves. That made for an exception experience because it was a quiet, cozy dinner. I imagine the setting might get noisy on a busier night and perhaps even feel a little cramped. My group dressed business casual with a bit of glitz but the interior is fairly casual and I think wearing nice jeans would be ok.

I ordered the shrimp and grits and a crabcake.The grit cakes were very delicious and I would have preferred to just order a plate of grit cakes lol The shrimp was okay, small portion... the crabcake was okay, nothing exciting. It wasn't seasoned well enough. They do not serve ranch dressing.The service is blah. Walking in there was no host, so I was confused on if I entered the correct door. After waiting a while, I noticed the host walking up to the front area near where I entered so I met him there. After a while the bartender did ask from behind the bar if I wanted to order a drink while waiting... Once seated at the reserved table, the waiters seemed to be very restricted on honoring customer requests due to owner or manager disapproval and they appear to be watched or up for some type of kitchen audit after servicing guests. Idk what happened in the past, but it was obvious something happened or obvious that the owners are tightly budgeted... Like asking for more bread with 4 guests at the table and bringing only 2 rolls after waiting an extra 15min to ask someone else for what the waiter didn't bring... they wouldn't do a split check for 4 people. Alot of our requests received a 'sorry no we can't, they won't allow or um last time it was no but I can ask' etc.Tight street parking is available.Not a fan... but not a horrible place. Just not worthy of 3 stars in my opinion. Overpriced... decor is basic. Small indoorsThe dessert options were not exciting.

Great Service! Nice Restaurant! Amazing Food! Went in for an early dinner with my cousins and this place did not disappoint!

Summary: a steakhouse on the main street of Catonsville, Beaumont offers items you might expect to find at a steakhouse alongside a pretty large list of drink offerings.The Beaumont comes off as kind of an upscale, but not like super upscale, steakhouse (if that makes any sense). The service feels formal/classy and the decor reflects a place that calls themselves "Beaumont."I came for a good steak and ordered the 14oz ny strip. It was cooked and seasoned well and the sides were also generous and tasty (crispy brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes).What I think impressed me the most out of my experience was the cocktails. They were prepared well and had a great balance in flavor.All in all, I thought the food was good, the drinks were great, and the experience overall was something that I would return to.

The Beaumont was a very nice experience! My friend made reservations on Open Table. We arrived at our scheduled time and were seated immediately. I ordered the deviled eggs & crab cakes. One of my homegirls got mussels, crab cakes and an espresso martini. Our server Rob was very nice and attentive! I'm a whiskey girl so an old fashion for me. Actually make that two. Very smooth and tasty so it will sneak up on you. The food was nothing short of amazing. The deviled eggs had crab meat on top. The crab cakes were 98% crab, 2% cake, as a crab cake should be. The brussel sprouts that came with were great too. The restaurant is cute, small, dimly lit. Definitely a place you can go for a date or a girls night.

Hey this is a spot we're the "black kettle" used to be. All this time I thought it was that same old restaurant. Nope this one has much better quality. Food and service. There is no hh here so if you want to find a bit of piece during hh time this is the place. Do I got a lions tail. It was a pretty interesting drink with a nice kick. I would call these cocktails "fancy". And the food menu had me drooling but I just came for drinks today. I have my eye on a few things. It's a very intimate/mature setting. You definitely want to bring a date here. The area is small so it would be a good idea to reserve a table.One of the coolest things I saw on the menu was a charcuterie board option. Very nice if you plan on having some wine I can't wait to come back!

Overall: Good service, okay food, large portion sizes, typical steak house menu, ambiance wasn't anything special, with single stall gender inclusive restrooms (one has a changing table for kids)It's a small place tucked in downtown Catonsville. Nothing about the experience stood out to me from the ambiance to the service to the food. Everything was fine, but nothing I would go back for and for those prices I'd like at least some aspect of it to go above and beyond. They had a handful of cocktails, some beer and wine, but no listed mocktails. The serving sizes were huge. I really liked that you could choose any sides to go with your entree and you didn't just have to get the ones it was listed with on the menu. I got the special- a crab encrusted sea bass for $45. The crab crust tasted good but it completely overpowered the fish. The fish was cut super thickly and I felt like it wasn't cooked enough. Normally sea bass is so tender and falls apart with a fork, but I needed to use a steak knife to cut it and the fish tasted pretty tough and raw. I feel like the flavor is a lot better when it's cooked more or with a sous vide to get it even throughout when you have a cut that thick. The sauce on the dish was good. The two shrimp I had weren't deveined which was sad for these prices.

What a great place! Our server Mel took great care of us. There is a great selection of cocktails and wine. Lots of crab featured items. The crab cakes were superb! The fried green tomatoes topped with lump crab were also a great choice! The burger was enormous and served with lots of fries; a great value at $22. Reservations are recommended as it got busy in there pretty quickly. It was easy to make one on Open Table. The place is small and it got hot and loud in there, but I don't think it could be helped with the amount of people coming in and out and the weather that day. Overall, The Beaumont is fantastic and we look forward to returning.

I went to the Beaumont for the first time with my sisters and was blown away! The ambiance was nice. They had a very beautiful skylight in the dining room and everything was very clean. Our server was so personable and friendly. I got the strip steak with creamed spinach and twice baked potato and it was SO good. Better than most expensive steakhouses I've been to. My sister had the swordfish and my other sister had the mahi mahi. Everything was so good and the prices were reasonable. I'll definitely be returning!
