    Our experience here was amazing. Shoutout to our great server Connor. If he isn’t a lead server make him one TODAY ! So cool, so understanding & honestly great energy. I came for Valentine’s Day with my girlfriend. He told us the specials & even gave some recommendations. We both had steak with mash & green beans. If you are thinking about getting the peartini definitely grab you one. It didn’t disappoint. We will be back !

    We have eaten in and ordered take out meals several times from FF and have enjoyed all of them. We made reservations for Valentine's Day dinner. There was a delay in getting our food because it was so busy, but our server, Douglas, acknowledged and apologized for the delay and kept informing us of the status of our meals (many restaurants do not do this, so it was much appreciated). My husband's meal was fine, but the pasta in my entree was not cooked properly. I ate less than half of my meal. We brought this to the attention of the manager. She agreed with our comments and said she would inform the kitchen. She offered to bring another entree, but we declined because it was so late. She stated she would remove the charge for the pasta meal from our bill and offered a free desert, which we accepted and took home with us. This incident will not deter us from eating at FF again because their meals have always been good before and the service was great. It was also refreshing to eat at a restaurant with so much integrity. The management promptly provided several options to remediate the issue. This attention to customer service is not always seen in restaurants, but we saw it at FF and we really appreciated it.

    Caruso's Grocery at Pike & Rose is consistently excellent. It's hard to find really good Italian food in the area, so we were thrilled to discover them. The calamari is some of the best we've had, and we've really enjoyed the pasta dishes and entrees that we've tried over several visits. Highly recommend!

    I had the crabcake and my wife had the parmesan trout and both were fantastic! Her trout was very favorable with the spices and parmesan coating. The served me a real Maryland flavored crabcake. The coleslaw was the best I ever had because it wasn't too sweet, and you could taste the vinegar which was the perfect tart flavor that was needed. Many coleslaw recipes taste cheap and too sweet but theirs was balanced. The fries rival McDonald's fries and before you laugh think about how perfect McDee's makes their french fries. The special Valentine Strawberry and Chocolate Mousse cake was a perfect ending to our meal. It had a little scoop of vanilla ice cream, strawberry sauce and white chocolate heart stuck into the cake. We will bring back our family in our second visit. Plus, our server was the best!
