Best Wine Bars in Ellicott City

My wife and her good friend dined here for lunch, which they each enjoyed, as always. Nice ambiance, comfy booth, solid service. The food is always very good at Seasons 52. My wife’s friend started with a fall special soup (squash+) and had the chicken pesto flatbread (I’ve had it in the past….good stuff). My wife ordered the Ahi tuna Maui crunch salad, which became a little story. She requested dressing on the side. The kitchen messed up and not only dressed the salad but they “overdressed” it. Their excellent(!) server, Darrell, apologized and was prepared to have the kitchen redo it, but my wife adroitly asked for more greens to essentially delete the dressing. A generous portion of greens was delivered, my wife loved the result, the restaurant didn’t have to toss out an overdressed salad…victory all around. Seasons 52 remains one of our upscale casual dining go-to joints. It’s special and deserves all its success.

Food and drinks were great. It was a little loud with the piano and a couple of large groups but will definitely be back!

This was our first time dining at this establishment. Our server, Alaina (sp?) was great. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and the drink offerings. The food was delicious, and the price was good. We look forward to many more visits to Smashing Grapes in the future.

Went for lunch. Very good experience. Not crowded, food was good; service was very good

Tino's is an unexpected delight tucked into a corner of a little shopping center. There are many gluten free options and the chef was willing to make some of the items not marked GF into a similar option without gluten. I have had the GF ravioli with a cream pesto twice and the only thing I would change is my alternating between salmon and chicken for the protein.
