Restaurants near Cylburn Arboretum

I always love Gertrudes, especially this time of year with a beautiful decorations

I love the Valley Inn! Wish we had a restaurant in Catonsville that is that good!

We ate in Cece's Kitchen this time. We've eaten in the main dining room many times. Wanted a more casual atmosphere. It was perfect, although booking was crazy. I originally booked the Kitchen at 6:15. When I went to change to 6:45, Open Table said no availability. When we checked in, they said they weren't sure they could seat us? When I pressed that we wanted to try the ambiance....we were the ONLY ones there. Plenty of seating. What gives? Service was excellent and perfect spot for salad, pizza, and a couple of drinks. Recommend it.

Delicious salad w baby tomatoes, ricotta, pine nuts, and red leaf lettuce and excellent wild mushroom risotto. Yummy dessert - little fried doughballs, very light and tasty. Attentive and friendly service, with good suggestions when asked. Came for late ish lunch on Sunday and ate in pleasant dining room with stone walls and wooden benches. We usually have dined on the patio, which is also pleasant when it’s not too cold. A favorite place for us.

As always, it was a true pleasure to dine at True Chesapeake! Great oysters, perfectly seared scallops, and great wine choices. The staff is so friendly.
