    The service was outstanding by all the staff. The waiter was exceptionally helpful and friendly. The soups were delicious. The ostrich carpaccio was excellent. The entrees were good but somewhat disappointing for my husband who had the Beef Wellington. Although it was cooked well, the overall taste was rather bland. I enjoyed the crab cakes. This is the only restaurant to have truly gluten free crab cakes which I have wanted for quite a while. The dessert menu was limited so we opted not to have any. I appreciate true farm to table food. The food is generally top notch. This one meal won’t keep us from coming back.

    We went to celebrate a birthday, and it was our first time there. The food is farm to table and the chef has a unique take on the food, which was delicious! We even tried ostrich for the first time! The server, Jason, was well informed and helped us get out of our comfort zone in terms of what foods we wanted to order.

    Great all around service. The food was good, but I did not see or taste shrimp in the quiche. Love the variety for brunch.

    We have not been to Elkridge Furnace Inn in years and remember it not being all that great for the amount of money it cost. We were pleasantly surprised. The food was really quite good and some unique items like the duck fat latkes. We will definitely be back!

    This was our third visit, the last one having been so amazing that we were eager to return. The service on Feb 15 was outstanding (thanks go to Steven). The table was on the ground floor near the front of the building, so an occasional cold blast made its way to the table as the front door opened, but was not too bad. The soups we ordered for our first course (one french onion, one mushroom) were delicious. The entree my partner selected turned out to be unavailable, so he had to choose something else; he chose seafood risotto, which he said was disappointing. I chose the filet mignon, which was cooked perfectly; sauce selection had changed since the previous November, so I opted for a truffle sauce, which was nice. I'm certain we will return, but this time with different expectations perhaps.

    We celebrated Valentines Day with a delicious meal in a lovely setting. We opted for the 3-course meal (starter, entree and dessert). Both entrees were quite good. The lamb shank was the clear favorite. The game pate was a bit disappointing. It was very mild and the bread that accompanied the dish was rock hard. Service was friendly and attentive. Eating out on Valentines Day can be problematic, but the Elkridge Furnace Inn did a fantastic job.
