Laurrapin GrilleBest in Havre de GraceWhat a delightful dining experience! The appetizers were large and tasty; the entrees were simply wonderful. Great bar selections, too. A bit noisy, but not like a sports bar. We will surely visit again.6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfect!We had a great time. It was exactly what we were hoping for.6/6/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food for a excellent priceThe food was very good. The menu provided a range of items including fresh seafood, steak, lamb, chicken, and vegetarian options. The restaurant is very busy so a reservation is highly recommended. The space is fairly small so it can be loud.6/4/2013 12:00:00 AMLaurrapin first timerWe went as a family to the Laurrapin and were very happy. Three out of four of us had crab cakes, and I had the blackened mahi. I thought the prices were a tad high, but everyone thought the food was great, myself included. What I like about this restaurant is that is supports local farmers and suppliers of meat, fish, etc, so it seems they support the community by buying their products. Everything was prepared very nicely, and I would go back again.5/29/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious food and great serviceWe found the restaurant to be a decent choice for fine dining. Our waitress was fabulous and very personable. Portion size of the mahi mahi topped with crab & shrimp was very generous. However, the wine list was a little disappointing. The list was missing some notable brand Chardonnays and white specialty wines.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMnoiseThe service was great the food was excellent, but the noise from the kitchen behind us was beyond tolerable. It was a Friday evening so I booked a reservation on Thursday to make sure we had a good table. We were sitted right next to the kitcen. It was crowded so we did not ask to be moved. By the time we left my head was about to explode from the clatter of the dishes. We have three kids and are very busy so going out to dinner is a treat. I guess if we do come back here again we will tell the hostess,"do not sit us by the kitchen", so then at least we could have a hearable conversatioin and I won't have a migrane.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMLocal GemWho knew an out-of-the-way place like Havre de Grace had a restaurant like this? All fresh ingredients plus cooking talent equals first rate eating. Naturally you'd like to try the crab cakes, because they're a Chesapeake Bay specialty, and I did. They were great, if a little pricey. But my wife had the stewed chicken, and it was terrific, too. I can only imagine their steaks, of which there were three choices the night we dined there, are pretty darn good, too. We both started with the Pear Gorgonzola salad, which might have been the best salad I've ever had, and finished with their fried banana dessert, another noteworthy effort. Soup to nuts, this was a great dining experience.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful TimeMet two other couples for dinner. We had a great time as the food was outstanding, the atmosphere was lively and we had a wonderful waiter.5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMvaried menuLaurrapin Grille offered a quiet, casual room. The menu was varied and offered something for everyone. Many of the choices were great variations of typical restaurant food. The service was excellent and we were able to linger over our meal. A great long lunch!5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Bison burger was veryThe Bison burger was very good, but the oyster po'boy was 'eh' at best. Too much breading and not "piled high" as stated on the menu. The service was great and it was fairly quiet, due to the lack of tourists for the time of year.4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMWe went there to dinner onWe went there to dinner on a Sunday and were told that on Sunday they only serve their lunch menu all day -- no dinner entrees. It turned out to be fine because they have a fantastic lunch menu. I got the bison burger and it was amazing. My boyfriend and I also shared the spinach artichoke dip which was delicious. The wine list was great with a lot of inexpensive options. Our only complaint was that the red wine we ordered was a little warm and after a glass was poured for each of us we had to ask the bartender to put the bottle on ice for us so that it cooled off. That was my only complaint. Hannah (bartender) and Ashley (waitress) were both lovely.4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMOne of the best wait staffOne of the best wait staff in Harford County. Only complaint was main meal was served when we were still enjoying our appertisers4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMWe went for a work specialWe went for a work special event (Admin Day). There was 4 in our party. We were placed in a room that had another large group. the only complaint we had is that the other group was so loud that we couldn't hear ourselves. This made it very difficult to enjoy our colleagues. We pretty much sat in silence waiting for our food as when we attempted to talk we could not be heard.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMAnniversary date nightOne of my absolute favorite places to eat. I usually go during the day for lunch because I am never dissapointed. So there is no surprise my husband and I decided to celebrate our anniversary there on Friday. I tried new things which is hard for me to do because I love the Ahi tuna. I was not dissapointed. The sea scallops in their Bloody Mary mix was so delicious I was tempted to order a Bloody Mary to drink in order to keep from drinking my plate. I also had the eggplant with goat cheese. First place I ever had eggplant and liked it better than my own. I also ordered the pear and Gorgonzola salad and to me they make the best around. The only disappointment was the potatoe encrusted cod. It did not work. Needs more crispness.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMHaute de grace restaurant w. viewWe shared the Ploughmabn's lunch (only one cheese--asiago--but it was good, as was the bread; delightful pickled carrot and special mustard). I had the shrimp-and-grits (made right! southern) and my son had mussels, I think. Anyway, by making a reservation we got a great table in the back room with a view of the river and excellent service. Lots of other small plates/apps we would have loved to share!4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMHighly RecommendExcellent food, great atmosphere and service. This is one of the top places to eat in Havre De Grace..4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat locally sourced restaurantLaurrapin offers a really exciting menu that features produce and meats from the local area farms and ranches. The food is incredible. It also has a very happening bar scene with live music on the weekends. The bar area is augmented with 10 4-top high tables with stools where you can also get meal service. That area is always packed, so make a specific reservation if you want to sit there. the back dining room is very nice in an odd shaped room (the building is 19th century architecture, I think...)4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were lucky to get a table,We were lucky to get a table, since when we got there, they did not have our reservation. Fortunately, I had a copy of my Open Table confirmation and reminder emails with me, so they too q bit of time, but did find us a table on a very crowded night. We were happy with their hospitality and the restaurant, but unhappy with open table, since the reservation did not get trough to the restaurant.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMWe started going to LaurrapinWe started going to Laurrapin because the reputation for the craft beer list caught my eye. Now we go not only for the local and famous craft brews, but because the food is amazing as well. I love that they are all about the local business and it really is a great feel. The staff is so fun and always have something to offer about the menu. While it certainly isn't in the budget as a weekly night out, it has become a sort of tradition when I am in town to save our pennies and go.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat good. 1/2 bottle ofGreat good. 1/2 bottle of wine on Tuesday. Good service, friendly atmosphere.3/19/2013 12:00:00 AMNY strip was amazing, theNY strip was amazing, the best steak I think I've ever had. The free form ravioli was really really good aswell, the only bad part was that it left a bad after taste in your mouth. Maybe it was the spinach, or whatever "root vegetables" they had inside it.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious food, comfortableDelicious food, comfortable seating, nice variety of selections. Laurrapin Grille uses products from local farms, bakeries, and other businesses. That's a nice touch. Price is moderate and portion sizes are large.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMUNBELIEVABLY DIFFERENT & GREATI can not say enough about the Laurrapin Grille. If you think you have had a great meal and have not been here, you are kidding yourself. The local farm use as well as the incredible food will leave you wanting more and more. The home made Sangria is great and the creations that come out of the kitchen are mouth watering. From burgers to salads to entree's, there has never been a bad meal. Although I have know the owner/chef for years, this is not a biased review. Do yourself a favor and vist once and you will visit often.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMWe are from Maine, and wereWe are from Maine, and were visiting family in Baltimore. We wanted to meet friends from Wilmington, DE and determined that Havre de Grace was the mid-point. The restaurant turned out to be a fantastic find! We enjoyed the entire evening--food, drink and exploring the area. Thanks.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMDiverse and tasteful foodDiverse and tasteful food list with many different craft beers to choose from make this restaurant wonderful experience.3/2/2013 12:00:00 AM
