Excellently prepared food with a Maryland flavor, plenty of choice from both sea and land. Wine list is comprehensive and reasonably priced. Dessert is always a highlight, the house made Candy Bar is a favorite.

I have always enjoyed bluestone. The server was excellent. I was disappointed with the quality of the food and as I was hosting this business event, I did not want to say anything. My meal the turkey Montecristo was cold and some of it un edible. Otherwise, things were OK. Not sure how quickly I will return.

Food is very good, we love the hummus and pita! Very nice waiter, only down side to service is that 2 of us got our meals and it was 10 more minutes before the 3rd person got hers (not the waiters fault). Other than that the service was very good.

Was seated right away even tho I was early and part of my party wasn’t there. Great service. Greeted promptly. Everyone was friendly. Atmosphere was relaxed, inviting. This is our second time going for Christmas Eve and will definitely be back to be able to sit outside in the warmer months. Food was delicious and inventive. Loved the hand crafted drinks. All in all a great experience.
