    We had a delicious meal. I enjoyed my filet mignon and creme brulee dessert. Our server (Josh) and his trainee (Camille) were wonderful. With the ambience of the historic home, delicious food, and kind staff we will definitely be back.

    This was our first visit to Elkridge Furnace Inn. It is a beautiful setting in a Historic house. While we had to wait longer than expected for wait staff, once they got to us the service and attention was superb. We are always looking for restaurants that are quiet so we can actually have a conversation. We were surprised at how loud it was, and because we were seated right in front of a window, it was chilly. We were a little disappointed in the menu selections as there were not many options for someone who is a less adventurous eater. Portions were small and the price was very high. I think we would go back, but with more realistic expectations.

    I wanted to take my mother someplace very nice for dinner and the Elkridge Furnace Inn went ABOVE and BEYOND!!! We started with sautéed mushrooms, which are grown locally and prepared fresh. The cream of Baltimore soup was the best variation of a cream of crab soup that we ever have ever experienced. Mum got the Fish Du Jour, which was a delicious Rockfish served with an oyster, mushroom, shrimp & white wine, seafood velouté. I got the 6oz Filet Mignon. My steak was perfectly cooked … it was so delicious and tender. The best broccolini I have ever had in my life and I am a “broccolini snob”. We ended with us each getting dessert… mum got the crème brûlée and I got the apple dumpling with a side of salted caramel ice cream. I’ve never seen my mum eat something so fast. Lol. I had to keep telling her to pace herself. I couldn’t finish my dessert… it was just TOO BIG! Lol. I took it home and had it for breakfast the next day. Chef Dan and his wife Donna stopped by our table to check in on our dining experience, which really touched my mum. The entire staff, from the servers to the bartenders were so friendly and welcoming. Our server was Audrey and she was very knowledgeable and attentive. The serving assistant, Dawson, made sure mum’s coffee was always topped off. I’m very much looking forward to our next visit to the Elkridge Furnace Inn!!!

    This was a disappointing experience. I have previously had excellent meals at the EFI. Tonight, my grilled romaine salad with butternut squash had no discernible squash, past-their-prime polenta croutons and seemed skimpy overall. The Crabcakes were small and mediocre. One of our party had an outstanding delmonico steak, but overall, we were underwhelmed and don’t plan to return.
