    Front of the House - Spectacular comes to mind. Both Butch and Patti were in the house. True professionals. Organized. Engaging, Greeting with a smile. Simply wonderful. Wait Staff - Lauren - helpful; attentive; professional; and menu knowledge. Lauren made time to explain a few of the several new or enhanced menu items. Based on new information, I will expand my lunch selections. I look forward to hearing about the additional menu items and ordering some of them. Another true Atlas Restaurant Group brand standard. Meal - Maryland crab soup - bowl with two (2) packages of Oyster crackers. Seasoned; however a bit different than last week. Tasty and worth the selection. Different - a change to me - well worth it. Shrimp cocktail. Again nice prepared - seasoned and tasty. Cleaned and presentation nicely done. Menu - take time to read the new selections. Explore new options. Kitchen - preparing one special menu at a time. Chef Manny was in the house on his off-day to assist with the rollout of new items. Teamwork - works. Parking Lot - still the best. Guests are talking. Clear and sharp lines. Food expeditors - The Expos remain a critical part of the guest experience. Interacting with the guest is appreciated. Offering assistance is an added touch. Communicating with the Wait Staff - priceless. Keep it up!

    Food is fantastic. We come back each trip to Towson for the crab cakes and outstanding vegetable selections. The staff is excellent. Can be a bit noisy if parties are underway but that’s normal.
