Our meal was excellent as always! We ordered two favorites…the short ribs for my husband and the St. Mary’s Oyster salad for me. Both dishes were delicious as anticipated…which is why both dishes were repeats.

We had a very nice evening. One suggestion, on our visit it was 1/2 price bottles of wine, server should have suggested I get that instead of ordering by the glass. Everything else was fine, good hot and delicious.

This is our favorite restaurant in Baltimore county. The fish is always fresh, the menu is extensive, and the specials are exciting! I tried the salmon special over spinach succotash tonight and it was outstanding!

The food was mediocre and the prices too high- my wife got a caesar salad that had mostly brown leaves, i got a greek salad that was not great. The sushi was not very good. The dessert was good. We paid $100 for this and we gelt incredibly ripped off

Arrived on time was seated, but waited for the server fora while. The food was not what we had anticipated it to be, and left me and my partner very underwhelmed. To add insult to injury, OpenTable informed me. That we had not arrived for our reservation, when in fact, I was there on time. Not sure what the mixup was all about, but definitely will not be going back to this restaurant. Save your money and your time and go out to another restaurant.

As always the food, ambiance and service were fabulous. The specials of the day are often great. This week the Spanakopita was as good as any I had in Greece. Kudos to Mateo and the Chef.

My wife and I ate outside which was extremely pleasant. The food was outstanding--I had one of the fresh fish (Rockfish) and my wife had quiche. Crab soup and shrimp bites were huge portions. Highly recommend the restaurant.

unfortunately, every time we visit Kenilworth and Catonsville, my very simple order comes out incorrect. we have spoken to the managers at each to give them a heads up, but the order still comes out wrong. we really like both, but it is becoming ridiculous. sorry,

What a find! Thought we would try the new place at Kenilworth Bazaar and am I glad we did. The decor is modern with sleek lines. The server, Jess, was outstanding! Great service without being intrusive. The food was outstanding! Two of us had the halibut, one rockfish, one sea bass and one short ribs. First of all the presentation was beautiful for every meal. The food cooked perfect and no problem changing the sides. Cannot say enough about how much everyone enjoyed their dinner. We will be back!

2 of 3 bar drinks were good. The Old Fashioned was not worth it. Crab bisque was hot and flavorful, a favorite. Good gazpacho too. Fish steak and salad entrees were well portioned and delicious, with loads of fresh veggies and starches for sides.

Thoroughly disappointed with the customer service received from top to bottom, and in the manager's need to "get ahead" of a non-issue. The food is a four; however, the overall rating is a 1 due to the unacceptable service.

There were four of us and everyone said their dinner was mediocre. The ambience is terrible- the stuffy piano player had the lid of the piano up and a microphone so that his playing was so loud we could not carry on a conversation. We complained to the manager who was sympathetic and asked the piano player to close the lid. He did nit. So obnoxious. We left as soon as we could and will not go back. The bar would have been much more crowded had it not been for the obnoxious piano guy. He actually wore a tux!

Although our dinner was good, it wasn't great. Best part was the yummy bread at the start. Waiter needs more training. He didn't ask if we wanted drinks and brought us a dessert menu that looked too disgusting to touch.

Our first visit to The Gourmet at Kenilworth . My husband ordered the Maryland Crab Soup - he said it had a great flavor but needed more vegetables. I ordered the crab bisque - it had a very good flavor with lots of bits of crab meat (no lump crab meat) but was way too thick - it was more like a heavy thick gravy. For dinner, my husband had the fish & chips substituting broccolini for chips since he doesn't eat potatoes. He said it was delicious. I had the Shrimp & Grits which was outstanding! I have been looking for yummy Shrimp & Grits since Langermann's closed in Canton 5+ years ago...this is the closest I've found. My leftovers were even better the next day. Our server, Nicole, was great! Friendly and attentive - she took very good care of us! We will definitely be back!

Very nice layout and great service. Very happy with the cocktails we ordered and the gazpacho was really good and novel. Ordered a chicken sandwich which was very good. Also had halibut with rice and vegetables - fish was over. Asparagus was under, rice was very plain. Had higher expectations for something a bit more elevated. Will give it another go with a different fish prep and see if it was just what we ordered that was not quite right for our taste
