Carol Cutler,Washington Business Forward Magazine, Washington, DC on "perfectionist Chefs"

"Perhaps you have a demanding client arriving, one who likes to dine particularly well. Go for the works, something the following quartet of perfectionist delivers: Charles Zeran of Stone Manor Inn, Patrick O'Connell of the Inn at Little Washington, Michel Richard of Citronelle, Brian McBride of Melrose at the Hyatt Park."

Diane Withrow, Wilmington Star News, Wilmington, NC on " absolute freshness of products"

"An evening of spectacular dining... Each detail by Chef Zeran served to enhance our pleasure: the wine, the service, the preparation, and the unique pairing of the accompaniments. However, it was the standards of the absolute freshness of the products that provided the essential building blocks of the experience. The restaurant's acclaim is well deserved."

Peter Wood, WineDocs.com on being "in enviable hands with Chef Charles Zeran"

The best restaurant in Maryland, hands down. Ambitious, original, elegant... for the diner that truly wants and expects a remarkable and memorable experience. The food is adventurous, whimsical, and delicious. You're in enviable hands with Charles Zeran."

Wow, what a great experience! As others have remarked, it truly is a hidden gem. You would never expect this type of a restaurant in a shopping center-with an air conditioned courtyard--like something out of New Orleans. We had the crab cake for an appetizer and it was one of the best I ever had. The Chef's halibut special was amazing--covered with lump crabmeat in a pernod cream sauce--and the confit duck leg and andouille sausage was delicious. Fantastic wine list as well with many offered by the glass, all of them $15 or less. Will definitely be back.

"A one of a kind evening. We were delighted by the originality. The menu read like something out of the dinner Alice had with the Mad Hatter. The restaurant has several venues in which to dine, but the décor pales compared to the menu and its execution."

Dan Patrell, Frederick Magazine, Frederick, MD

"Chef Charles Zeran. A chef? An artist? What the man can do is put edible works on a plate. And they are highly edible. It's dining on a different level. Go there. Enjoy the food. Enjoy the wine. It's art and it's an experience."
