I have eaten here 3 or 4 times over the past few years when in Severna Park. It’s an semi-upscale restaurant by price and atmosphere. Each time I go it seems a bit more aged and run down and the service is slow and unenthusiastic. When we entered the restaurant we waited at least 5 minutes before someone showed up to greet us. Because we were going to be a party of 8 they had to put tables together for us while we waited. No problem. The restaurant had few customers (although the back room was being used for a large private group) and they pulled 2 small tables together so that we would be all squished together with 3 on each side (forcing the diners seated in the middle seats to have to balance their plates over the seam between the tables) and someone at each end that encroaches on the elbow space of the others on both sides. There were no other diners anywhere near our section so I asked if they could extend our dining space by adding another small table so that we could all fit comfortably. To me that is such a common sense expectation that a guest should not have to make a point of it. Once we were all seated, we had to wait for a server to show up. Throughout the luncheon we had to ask for everything. Can someone take our drink orders? Can we get bread? Can we have more than two menus? We lit our own candles on the table. The service was slow and our server seemed uninterested in taking care of us. Never an offer to refresh our drinks. Since there were more than 5 in the party there is an automatic 20% tip, so she wasn’t worried about that, I guess. She did not earn it. When our food arrived, we had to ask for grated cheese. Our server was compliant if we asked for something but never initiated anything that felt like customer service. I think she was really annoyed that we were bothering her. Because we had a birthday to celebrate, the server walked out with a cannole for my mother, set it down, and walked away. Not a “Happy Birthday” or anything. The rest of us sat there wondering why she didn’t ask if any of us would like to order dessert. We called her back and asked for the dessert menu. She brought us two of them. Remember, the restaurant was practically empty and we were a party of eight. I really wanted to speak up but didn’t want to make a poor situation even worse. We ordered and my sister ordered coffee as well. When she got it she had to turn it back because she said it tasted awful, like it had been sitting all day. The server finally brought her a fresh cup. Now, about the food. For the most part it was fine. We had a variety of pastas, salad and soup, although my husband’s spaghetti with meat sauce was not good. Very salty and he could not finish it. The soups were good, as were the desserts. There is one more area of complaint. The ladies room lacked toilet paper in the handicapped stall and had no purse hook inside either stall. I hate having to set my purse on a bathroom floor. And the floor made sticky sounds when you walked on it. This whole restaurant needs a makeover or freshening or a decorating update. Wash, clean, paint, update..it just needs a manager or owner who cares enough to make this restaurant what it should be. And the staff needs training on how to provide competent, efficient and pleasant customer service. I do not expect to return to Cafe Mezzanote. We will find a new place our future family dinners.

Love their ice cream!!! Always happy when we stop here. So many flavors to choose from, and a lot of unique ones as well. You're able to sample before you buy. The waffle cones are delicious. Love all the fresh ingredients. My favorite flavor is peanut butter Oreo!

We love their imaginative pizzas and combinations, including butternut squash with goat cheese and prosciutto. Great fresh salads to start and excellent wine choices, including a $5/glass (during lunch?) Be ready for a wait or better yet go very early- as soon as they open -or late, at the end of the night.

Had lunch at The Point yesterday. The ambiance is casual. The view is great - overlooks the Magothy River from the full glass windows on two sides. The Christmas decorations were festive but not overwhelming. The food included some expected standards such as fish and chips, burgers, crab cakes; standards with a twist (e.g. cole slaw with blue cheese); and some wonderful dishes such as a chicken and sausage cassoulet as well as chicken biscuits and gravy. Portions were very large. All of the food looked and tasted as if it had been prepared on the premises. A delightful experience... Plan to return again soon. Note that the parking lot is difficult to negotiate if you have disabilities. There are a few parking spaces designated for the disabled on a small lower lot that is near the entrance. You really need to look hard for the lot and spaces.

The first choice for last minute party treats, the caffeine jolt that gets you going in the morning or the meeting place for friends to share news or gossip, the Donut Shack is a community favorite. The donuts (and donut holes) are super and the coffee always hot and fresh. However if you are looking for a diet friendly treat it may not be your first choice!

We have taken our son, daughter-in-law, and young grand-daughter here several times and always enjoyed it thoroughly. The tapas are many and varied, and always delicious. We always order several and share them. Entrees are equally delicious, and perfectly cooked. Do make reservations, as they get quite busy!

This was a small shop we stopped at while walking the streets on downtown historic Annapolis. the menu had a variety of choices. I picked the nutty banana crepe, I thought it was the best ever, it was just right. Its a nice place to pick up a quick snack while walking around. I would stop there again. Its a must stop place.

We decided to try something different than the usual pizza & paste choices & weren't disappointed. The cheese steak sub was fresh & very tasty. The rosemary chicken sandwich was unique & delicious. The usual yummy fries accompanied both.

A great local pub and family restaurant. I have been coming here since buying my house on the Broadneck peninsula in 2002. For sports lovers they have a half-dozen televisions in the bar area showing different sports games in progress.
The bartenders are are always friendly and efficient. The menu is carried for all tastes. Nothing really fancy here. Their claim to fame though are their chicken wings. I personally recommend the Chesapeake Buffalo wings (which is buffalo wings sprinkled with Old Bay) delicious, the best.
If you are coming here; belly up to the bar and grab a beer, watch a game and order some wings!

Truly one of the most delicious ice cream cones I've ever tasted! I ordered the Kilwins Tracks which has chunks of their chocolate mixed in. Just so perfect! Loved every bite! Busy little shop but they have it worked out to a science to move the crowds along quickly! Just follow the amazing aroma coming from this shop to get the best ice cream around! Also, their chocolate makes a great gift to take home for dog sitter, friends & family!
