Best Casual Restaurants in Mt. Vernon

Food and drinks were great. It was a little loud with the piano and a couple of large groups but will definitely be back!

We came for brunch to catch up with a friend from out of town and Marie Louise Bistro was the perfect spot for the occasion. The service was friendly and attentive in all the right ways. Our meal was delicious. The entire experience positive. We are thankful for the opportunity to be together over such a wonderful meal.

Topside DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The food was 10/10. Our serve (I want to mention her name to give credit but I won’t in order to remain compliant) whose name started with L could NOT have been sweeter or more helpful. They have a fantastic N/A beverage selection and the ambience and view are amazing. The only slight nock would be the standing group of about 15 people who came in around 9pm and remaining standing until we left at around 9:30. They were either waiting for tables or simply standing and meeting. The room became quite loud form that point on. But even still, Topside is now a top 3 restaurant in Baltimore for my liking. I will be returning to dine there without question!

Everything was great. The naan was a bit soggy but otherwise we loved the food and and the restaurant. Mango lassi was fabulous

Dinner staff were very friendly, we enjoyed champagne, service was on the slow side but mainly because the bar was hopping with people. Hubby’s burger was “ok,” mom’s poet wrap was “bland and very dry,” she recommends a pesto or some other sauce be added or requested. I had the Orecchiate which was also ok. Poet’s breakfasts were awesome!!!! Coffee was wonderful. This place is always hopping and the ambience is great! Plus, it’s located in a wonderful historic hotel.
