The Periodic Table

WOW! Howard County hidden gem! I've lived here over 20 years and never experienced this place. Family was SO Satisfied I had to comment on our experience. My NYC son loved the vibe and theme. I very rarely post any reviews. Just got back from DC National Harbor and had 2 horrible family dinners the were very overpriced Greeting was good and seated at our table. Waiter was very attentive and communicated well We got our water immediately and drink order to follow. Beers, Martini and Old Fashions were very good. We got wings and Brussel Sprout apps. Wings were solid and Sprouts were good well with nice flavors, bacon would have been nice. Entrees were excellent all the way around. Steak, Pot Roast, salad, Chicken, Shirt Ribs. If my wife ate her entire meal that says it all. My Carrot's on the Short ribs were the best. No room for desert, best meal for me in 2024 and travel all year round. Check it out, It will not disappoint!!

This place was disappointing. I know some people love it, but I'm just not there. First things first. Plenty of parking, we were seated right away. Had a couple more than the reservation, so they added another table no problem.Decor was pretty meh, very basic. There was an AC vent over my chair blowing cold air. In February. Huh.Our server came by and didn't take drink orders and started off pretty pushy about appetizers. We did end up ordering a couple - crab dip (good), Ahi tuna tartare (OK, too much sauce) and prosciutto flatbread (OK, not a lot of character).We order a bunch of different entrees, and everyone at our table agreed that they were all OK at best. I had the seared tuna steak with bok choy and rice. As it came out, it was pretty tasteless. I asked for some soy sauce and that helped a ton. The rice was overcooked and mushy, bok choy was overcooked and somewhat charred.My wife got the cream of crab soup and some fries. The fries were pretty good actually. The soup was very rich and had almost no crab in it, unless they had run it through a blender first. But this is Maryland and we expect some lump crab in our crab soup darn it! :-DI think the overall conclusion was that there wasn't a lot of seasonings being used in the kitchen - everything needed help. Oh, and my son's pet peeve, they served a weird off-brand ketchup that was almost sickly sweet. Just serve some Heinz and call it a day!Wanted to like this place, but it's not likely to get another try from us.

Went here for our first time.Plenty of parking right out front, which is always a good start. Walked inside and was immediately confused. Wasn't sure where to go or what to do. It took a minute for someone to greet me and seat me, but that was the only hiccup. Once I was settled, the service was great. The waitress was friendly and helpful.The atmosphere is warm and cozy, especially with the live music playing in the background. It gave the place a nice, laid-back vibe.What We Ordered:Starters: Crab dipEntrees:Pork bellyBLTHoney lemon pepper salmonKids Meal: Mac and cheese hot dog with friesDrinks: Moscato non-alcoholic lavender lemonadeThe food presentation was on point. The lavender lemonade was too good.The one thing that threw me off was the pricing. For what we got, it didn't quite feel like it matched up, but that's just me.Would I come back? Probably, but on the day they have live music, and would probably just get drinks and fries.

Second visit, first one during brunch. Jazz wafting through the air while playing board games is pretty cool. It was after 2:00, so we chose to order from the menu instead of the brunch buffet. Though the buffet smelled good, there were no regrets! My bourbon chicken was both tasty AND healthy. There was one waitress and one hostess and they worked well together. The amount on the check was one of our favorite parts, it was less than we expected!

Everything from the food to the atmosphere was amazing. The live jazz was the cherry on top. Our server was friendly and attentive. My mom and I enjoyed playing a game while waiting for our food. The wait was not long and I definitely will be coming back to try other entrees. Overall, this was an enjoyable dining experience.

Quick! Sunday jazz until 3pm by the excellent Sam Farthing trio, with Tom Mitchell whom we've heard in Annapolis, and Kai North on bass. Great craft drinks, all kinds of mains and sandwiches. Here's pics of their cooked-as-requested PT burger and the fantastic fresh roasted beet salad. Also a smooth chestnut Disaronno cocktail and a bright cranberry-rosemary fizz. I'll have a more-full review to follow :-)

This is a chill local restaurant , low key atmosphere, friendly service, convenient parking.We ordered 3 appetizers, brisket grilled cheese, fish and rice, and signature burger. Fish was fresh and tasty. Burger was on point. Brisket grilled cheese was a little dry, can use more sauce. Mushroom appetizer was a little overly sauced and a bit too sweet. Chicken drumsticks appetizer was juicy with a little kick which was nice. Remember to try out their signature cocktails, quite unique compared to the common ones.Do recommend!

Came for happy hour - $5 glasses of wine were calling my name after a tough Wednesday. We sat in the bar area and the bartender greeted us within seconds with menus and a smile. We were super excited to try the Brussels but were worried about being able to order from the full menu at the bar but were pleasantly surprised to find that we could! We ended up ordering the chicken bites from the HH menu and the Brussels from the normal menu. Our bartender was attentive even with a full bar area to attend to by himself and the food came out quick. The Brussels had honey old bay on them with a sriracha aioli to dip and were honestly PERFECTION. I will be coming back for more and if you're smart you'll order them too. We went with Korean BBQ for the chicken bites and they did not disappoint. They had no spice but all the flavor. My only complaint is that they either burn incense or have hookahs in the restaurant and we kept getting whiffs of it while trying to enjoy our food/drinks. We will 10/10 get more food but probably will do takeout next time!

First the good, their happy hour specials are pretty good and the bartender is very personable and helpful.Unfortunately the quality of the food and atmosphere continues to decline. I really want to like this place but it is just off.The last I was in was not good. Despite the bartender's best efforts, service was slow, the food came out lukewarm and many of the tables still needed to be bused. This feels like a management problem.

I have been coming here for some time now and i must say this past year they have really have stepped there game up . The brisket grilled cheese taste so much better , but the honey lemon pepper salmon is a must try ! extremely good ,
