Restaurants near North Harford Road Playfield

I recently visited Miss Toya’s Creole House and was thoroughly impressed. The food was delicious, with generous portion sizes, and the atmosphere struck a perfect balance between being family-friendly and grown-and-sexy. It’s especially inspiring to see a Black-owned restaurant thriving near an HBCU, as it brings a sense of promise and renewed hope to the community.

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.

Ronnie was amazing! Super funny and a great server.

I love this new location. While the staff is still getting the hang of how to carve the meat (we had some VERY large pieces / pieces that were just completely chopped off full steak sized instead of small cuts- but the atmosphere is excellent. the staff is very friendly and accommodating. I know the small things will be ironed out as it continues to grow. I love the vibe of the more modern furniture and lounge feel. We will be back often!

Our family Thanksgiving dinner at Valentino's was great!
