Best Farm To Table Restaurants in Pikesville

This is my second trip to The Dabney and it was as excellent as my first trip. The tasting menu has gone from 8 to 5 courses but there is no lack of fantastic food here. Terrific combinations of seafood and unexpected flavors along with the smoky tastes from the open wood fire are a special experience. The space is so warm and cozy, it redefines what a Michelin Star dining experience should be. The meats are spectacular as well. So many great dishes. Highly recommend the Grilled Sloop Point Oysters, The Tuna Pork Rinds, Scallop crudo, Fried Sugar Toads (it ain’t what you think and it’s better than you can imagine), the Chesapeake Rockfish, Fried Porgy (a real highlight) and the Lamb were all perfectly done and presented beautifully. The staff is attentive and friendly but never rushed. The cocktails are outstanding as well. The Old Fashioned is one of the best I’ve had. Prices are not for the faint of heart but you get top notch value for the money. I’ll be back here next trip down to DC. I wish this place was in NYC.

The tasting menu was a fun delight with an interesting mix of Korean flavors. The staff is well versed in the menu and their excitement for the dishes shows.

Had an inexperienced but eager to please waiter. Noise level made conversation difficult with older folks at our table.

The specials for this week, though a little pricey, were very delicious. The service was exceptional. We were not disappointed. Menu options are numerous and cost less. Definitely a place to consider for group gatherings -- they offer several seating locations to accommodate all sizes of groups.

Everything at this restaurant was OUTSTANDING and I will be going back again.
