    We had a terrific evening - my mother is 84 years old and can't have gluten OR dairy. The restaurant asked whether we would prefer to avoid stairs when I made my reservation - I didn't have to put in a separate request or call... and the server staff was terrific about advising my mom on menu choices that she could tolerate. They offered sauce on the side, provided a second sauce, offered a gluten free option of one of the starters, etc. Chef showed up and commiserated on her usual dining options at the senior living complex where she lives. Really made her feel special, and a wonderful night out for her. Pretty sure she has a new favorite restaurant.

    We are thrilled that you had such a great time with your mother. We look forward to seeing you again!

    We were celebrating our anniversary. We sat upstairs in a room with no more than 3 or 4 other tables. Very cosy. The restaurant surprised us with a glass of bubbly before the meal. We both chose the filet mignon for our main course - a moist, tasty, butter-knife tender cut accompanied by a Bordelaise sauce that complemented perfectly. The steak was cooked to perfection (med rare). There were no leftovers for either of us, an unusual occurrence for me. Our waiter, Tony, was an absolute delight. We know we will return to the Furnace Inn, it's just a question of whether we will wait until our next anniversary.

    Charmingly elegant restaurant with amazing owners and staff! The food was seasonally fresh, original, and delicious. And the desserts were absolutely delightful to the palate, without being overly rich. They never disappoint!

    For the first time I was very disappointed mostly with the food. We all ordered Delmonico steaks and one came out over cooked, one was not a Delominco but the server said it was ?? It was more like a strip cooked well when we ordered a Delmonico med rare. Veggies were ordered for the table but placed on two plates. They brought out more after an apology but it was late in the meal. There were two events that night. Maybe this is why but first time I was not completely satisfied.

    We stopped by because I was craving beets. The beet caprice I had was phenomenal. I also had the gluten-free version of the French onion soup. Delicious! My husband had the strip steak with local mushroom. Elkridge Furnance Inn never disappoints! Also, the service is wonderful. A special shout out to Torre!

    Overall a very good dinner. The service was great. The restaurant itself is very quaint on a nice looking property. Most of the food was excellent, but a member of my party ordered a fillet and it was send back bad (tough and somewhat undercooked), but we decided not to complain. Frankly, this isn’t the place I’d personally order a steak and the other food was excellent so I’m not going to be a review score nit for something that could have just been bad luck.

    Mike, Thank you so much for your generous review and kind words! We always aim to provide excellent service and culinary delights and we would not be able to do what we love without your choice to share a meal with us. We hope to have the chance to host you again soon to amend the snafu with your steak. Cheers!

    Second time eating dinner. Each time we visit the Baltimore area we end up having a great dinner at this great French restaurant. Two years since our first time and it did not disappoint this time either. You will not be disappointed
