Best Steak Restaurants in Pikesville

So we got there a little earlier than expected for our reservation due to a giant wind/rain storm. We decided to grab a drink at the bar while we waited for our reservation time. I got an Elmer T Lee with a large cube and my wife got an espresso martini. The espresso martini did not fill the glass which was odd and it was overly boozey tasting. But the real issue I had with the bar was the bill. They automatically added 20% gratuity to a bar bill which is completely unacceptable. I worked in the industry when I was younger and was even a bar tender. She made a single drink, which was the espresso martini, and then poured whiskey, which I had to show her where it was, into a glass for a $9.00 tip. She received a %5.00 dollar tip alone from pouring a single whiskey. This is unacceptable. Every reasonable person knows you do not get tipped on the whiskey pours and the beer/wine pours. Its perfectly acceptable to add a dollar for each of those drinks. Honestly when you add automatic 20% gratuity to anything, youre essentially adding a tariff to the entire menu. Every single item on the menu is incorrect, because you added a 20% tax on every single item you should have two prices on the menu next to the item. Now we went ahead and continued to dinner. The appetizer was the hashbrowns and cavier which was delicious, perfectly portioned. The Lobster Bisque soup was very good and had some interesting flavors. My wife got the 6oz filet and it was cooked perfectly, I had the duck breast and it was also delicious. We went with the mac and cheese, which was nicely portioned for the price and extremely creamy. Perfect for two people to split. Then as our bill was coming out the server warned us it included 20% gratuity which was appreciated. She informed us we could change it if we wished. I really wished the bar tender would have done the same.

The Churrasco experience is awesome no matter how you slice it. Of course, all of the meat options are well-seasoned, juicy, and sliced just to the temp/doneness you prefer. But what really sets FdC apart is the variety apart from the table service. The drinks were tasty (not too “hard”), and the feijoada/salad bar has a variety of pretty much anything else you could want. NOTE: while the food and service were both excellent overall, getting to our reservation was a challenge. Having to wait 25 minutes past our reservation time just to get seated is pretty absurd, and don’t get me started on the ridiculous valet system in place. Since it was Valentine’s Day I don’t hold it against any of the fine staff who helped us, but it was frustrating.

The Prime Ribis the best of the best in Baltimore. The food is incredible. The room is old-school and very elegant, including live piano and sax. We absolutely love Aaron and feel lucky when we get him. There is no one like him. He is so kind, so knowledgeable and just makes our whole experience perfect!!! Love, love The Prime Rib!

The staff at The Capital Grille were incredibly polite and helpful. Our waitress was excellent, providing great recommendations and ensuring we had a fantastic experience. We were seated right away, and the food was absolutely amazing. They also went above and beyond to accommodate a special birthday dessert, which made the celebration even more memorable. Thank you for helping make her birthday so special! I will definitely be back soon.

A wonderful venue to eat. Nice ambiance, excellent service and very good food.
