Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in College Park

The most festive place in town. Superlative food. Excellent service. A Christmas tradition we could do every week.

Charming with generous portions of traditional French cuisine. Good wine selection.

A holiday dinner with good friends was wonderful ... food wine service! But halfway through the meal a large party of 8 already lit with "cheer" was sat next to us in one of Tabard's smaller rooms and we could no longer hear each other. So we left before dessert. I realize that restaurants can't predict their patrons' behavior but in this instance re had to exit through a nearby small room which was empty and had a table that would have accommodated the group. Too bad!

There was a private event that required we be seated in a private dining room that was cozy and comfortable. Despite this huge event happening, our service by Gustavo was incredibly attentive and timely. What a warm and wonderful human being! Chef Todd Gray always manages to hire the best staff out there. They are incredibly personable, knowledgeable and caring about their work. The food is always scrumptious and top notch. Equinox is our go-to plant-based restaurant for sure. It's always a celebration of food, love, ambience, and fabulous service. We adore it there.

My friend and I dined in the outdoor eating space at Iron Gate where there were impressive fires burning next to each table. We were snug and warm. Our waiter was so welcoming we relaxed and relied on his advice while ordering. Our food was amazing from the tasty welcome dish through the main dish and two delicious desserts. The young woman at the front door went beyond her duties to help us add a second ride to our taxi order. We plan many return visits!
