Originally known as the Johnson-Wolfe Farm, the Comus Inn today is a historic 1860s farmhouse situated on just over five acres of the Maryland Agricultural Reserve, three miles and a world away from the bustling I-270 travel corridor. A farm-centric American tavern; a family-friendly beer and wine garden; and unimpeded views of Sugarloaf Mountain, welcome travelers and neighbors alike to enjoy delicious food, top-notch drinks, and good company year-round.

    Food was well prepared, rich and tasty. Service was attentive yet not interruptive. Hopefully, the menu will update depending on the season and local availability. Looking forward to another visit.

    Since I live so close I keep hoping that CI will be a great local place to dine. We asked for the quietist area as my in-laws both have hearing issues. Upon arrival the host acknowledged that he saw the request and could only offer a table on the upper floor which sounded great. Once seated I think we were forgotten. It took over 15 minutes to get water. Once we saw our server we ordered cocktails and apps. This also took quite a while and once we tasted our cocktails we returned them as they were horrible. To his credit, the bartender came up and apologized and acknowledged that there were mistakes made. He made new drinks and they didn't charge for the others which was fair. Food was good.

    Everyone from the Manager to the Hostess were wonderful. They checked on us regularly, drinks were always full, the food was delicious and they accommodated my elderly parents extremely well. Great restaurant, beautiful view, and phenomenal staff.

    We like the ambiance of this place as a date night. This was not the first time service was slow for us, from taking our order, to the delivery of food, to picking up the check. Our dinner was tasty. However, we did not care for the fries. I'm guessing it was the fry oil. We will try again, but not soon.

    Love it! We had the crab toasts, the chicken fettuccine, and the lava cake.

    Food was really good. The beef short rib was delicious. Hands down the best part of the meal. The ambiance was great. Service was ok. The server was kind of just there. Not the level of service I would expect for the price you pay. All and all we would go again. Food and atmosphere worth the trip .
