Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Lutherville

There were 8 of us for dinner & Jen was our waitress. Jen was an amazing waitress. She was at our table within minutes of sitting down in order to see what we wanted from the bar. I am very picky with my drink & she knew exactly how to order it for me. Jen returned with our drinks, mine was just how I like it, & tried to take our appetizer order. Of course, no one was ready so she came back three times before we gave her our order. The appetizers came out promptly & after a few minutes Jen was back to take our dinner order & second drink order. She got us fresh hot bread & always came back with a smile on her face. Our food came out at the perfect time & the servers were great. They knew exactly who the meals went to & answered questions that we had. The food was served hot & everything was delicious. After dinner Jen returned for our dessert order which we declined & came with our check. She was prompt to return to gather payment. My husbands pet peeve is once the check is dropped off, he hates sitting around waiting for someone to come & get our payment. Jen was the exact opposite. She was back in minutes. I would recommend BlueStone. We eat her often & have always enjoyed it.

Every year Pappas has their traditional Thanksgiving dinner for a very reasonable price. Cream of turkey soup, turkey white and dark meat, absolutely delicious stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, delicious green beans that would qualify as haricot verts and cranberry sauce (not the jellied type) and a delicious slice of apple or pumpkin pie. Wonderful meal known by many which accounts for the waiting line of people not having a reservation wanting to get a seat. As for service quality, Deanna was EXCELLENT.....very attentive and friendly without any loss of professionalism. She could compete with Boris, our favorite server. To complement the meal, they still carried my favorite wine, Lago Vino Vert, a Portuguese white which is light and lower in alcohol than most other white wines. If I had to offer a criticism, I'd say the plates, although large, were a bit small given the amount of food placed on them. Advice....wear stretch pants.

Great food and service. Top notch filet and drinks. It was a really busy night and the kitchen did a great job.

We were warmly greeting as soon as we walked in the door for our 12:30 reservation and seated in a comfortable and roomy booth. Mark was our server today and he could not have been more accommodating to us, with a very genuine personality while making good recommendations from the menu. We had a great afternoon.

Menu is limited. But everything is very well done with excellent service.
