    This was our third visit, the last one having been so amazing that we were eager to return. The service on Feb 15 was outstanding (thanks go to Steven). The table was on the ground floor near the front of the building, so an occasional cold blast made its way to the table as the front door opened, but was not too bad. The soups we ordered for our first course (one french onion, one mushroom) were delicious. The entree my partner selected turned out to be unavailable, so he had to choose something else; he chose seafood risotto, which he said was disappointing. I chose the filet mignon, which was cooked perfectly; sauce selection had changed since the previous November, so I opted for a truffle sauce, which was nice. I'm certain we will return, but this time with different expectations perhaps.

    We celebrated Valentines Day with a delicious meal in a lovely setting. We opted for the 3-course meal (starter, entree and dessert). Both entrees were quite good. The lamb shank was the clear favorite. The game pate was a bit disappointing. It was very mild and the bread that accompanied the dish was rock hard. Service was friendly and attentive. Eating out on Valentines Day can be problematic, but the Elkridge Furnace Inn did a fantastic job.

    What a gem. We have lived near the Inn for over a year now and we just got around to eating here. What a mistake. A wonderful experience and atmosphere. The food was fantastic and the service was amazing. This will be a place not only we return to, but bring family and friends. This restaurant was fantastic!

    Always love the food at Elkridge Furnace Inn! Locally grown and sourced vegetables, delicious, and beautifully presented. Our server even asked, when first introducing himself, if we were celebrating a special occasion. A night at this restaurant is a special occasion.

    We love the inspiration of our gardens, local sourcing and our guests who enjoy what we do. Thanks so much for sharing, Diane!

    We went to celebrate a birthday. Good service and nice atmosphere. Food quality was inconsistent. One on our party ordered two items that were not edible. They had a salad that was so bitter it was spit out. Others tried it at table and found same. It was replaced with a vegetable medley that looked like baby food and tasted like dirt. Oh well. The rest of our party had excellent food.
    The Elkridge Furnace InnResponded on 8 February 2025
    Thank you for sharing a birthday with us, Joe! We are glad you enjoyed the service and atmosphere. Since we often serve ingredients that are both seasonal and not quite as common, choices might be somewhat out of the ordinary for our guests. Our grilled Treviso Salad might fall into that category. A member of the chicory family, Treviso is a variety of radicchio with slightly bitter tasting leaves. We are sorry this wasn't to your liking. Also, with our executive chef's French training, purées are more common. The root vegetable "mash" is just that. And, yes, root vegetables can be quite earthy. We use potatoes, carrots, golden beets, turnips and parsnips. We are glad our manager was able to address your concerns and add a complimentary dessert to add to your celebration!
