Restaurants near Middle Patuxent Environmental Area

This was the location for our monthly Ladies Lunch for four high school friends traveling from Annapolis and Baltimore suburbs. We are now 50 years old. Excellent cocktail menu, broad menu to accommodate everyone’s needs (including gluten-free and vegan options), and superb service. Exactly what we needed for a great time.

The food was great. The service was good. It was very busy but they were attentive and friendly. My only complaint was how loud it was in there.

The second year that we’ve been to Seasons 52 for Thanksgiving. The service and the ambience are top-notch. But even the turkey dinner was quite good, even if for the masses. Is it as good as homemade? No. But the stuffing, mashed potatoes the gravy even the green beans are perfectly cooked. And while the turkey isn’t perfect, it was still moist and quite tasty. That said I’ve had a few other meals there as well and I can say that they do a very good job even though it’s a chain they try hard and the results show it.

Smashing grapes was a smashing success! The ambience was lovely, the food was better than expected, and the service was superb. We’re not much of a wine drinker, but the offerings were top-notch and chosen with care. All in all a must try!

There was something in the air that caused some of the mis-steps at the restaurant. Our vodka tonics didn't have tonic, the lobster arrived without the appropriate lobster cracker and we had to wait for over 20 minutes for our entrees. We give high praise to the lobster dinner & the lobster roll. The raw oyster appretizer was shucked properly and was tasty. We've been to the Tun House on many occassions & this was the first time things were off kilter.
