One of the best restaurants in Maryland is located just two miles from I-95 exit 74 at Mountain Branch Golf Course - 20 minutes from Baltimore.Constructed out of three acres of Oregon’s finest Douglas Fir, the historic-looking timber-pegged post and beam structure has high ceilings, multilevel architecture and a magnificent view. The Grille & Pub at Mountain Branch is a favorite for relaxing after a round of golf and is an ever-popular destination for lunch, dinner and late night. Spacious patios afford dining al fresco when the weather is mild. And when winter winds are blowing, a large fireplace keeps the inside warm and cozy. The American-classic menu offers a diverse mix of tastes, including soups, salads, and sandwiches as well as fresh fish, crab cakes and Angus beef. Our chefs take pride in keeping the offerings creative and interesting - taking full advantage of fresh seasonal ingredients.

In May 2021, this 40year-old-neighborhood gem on a hill underwent a full renovation. Venetian Palace is now sporting new digs with crisp modern decor and an expanded wine list. The impetus for the revamp was new ownership. Yes, the rumors are true... Valentino’s Restaurant Group which began in NE Baltimore city has now come to Harford County! The food is better than ever, with highlights being the seafood pasta, the jumbo lump crab cakes, the grilled lamb chops, artisan handhelds, and the breakfast choices served all day. Whether you are dining in or picking up carry-out do not forget the dessert!Come as you are, the staff is knowledgeable and ready to serve. We also offer our entire menu for carryout. For your convenience, The Venetian Italian Eatery has teamed with Doordash, GrubHub & Uber Eats. Buon appetito!

I had the scallops over butternut squash purée with kale/cranberry blend atop. It was tastefully presented and delicious. Another had the salmon with vegetable of the day (green beans) also delicious. Heavier dishes were the blackened pasta with chicken, and the gnocchi with steak, which the men could not finish. Nice cocktail selection though we didn’t try. Only suggestion is to add something to the plate for the salmon. Seems a simple garnish or addition of starch as pure would balance out the plate in food and in presentation! Thank you

My son and I have had Christmas Eve dinners at Pairings for several years now. Tonight he practically inhaled the bistro steak (it looked so good!), and I thoroughly enjoyed the cider glazed chicken with risotto and Brussels sprouts. We love Pairings. The food is well prepared, and their delicious craft cocktails are a special treat! The servers are professional, and they care that you have the best possible experience.
