Best Seasonal Restaurants in Whitemarsh Island

Everything about this place is spot-on! We were in town staying at Hotel Bardo to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday and chose it over two other suggestions from our bartender, Jamar. Our cocktails were beautifully crafted; you have to try a classic margarita and a Last Word. We chose the puréed cauliflower soup and chicken liver mousse on spiced pumpkin bread for our starters. They were both rich and comforting without being heavy. Our main courses were a New York strip, the day’s special, and the pork belly. The steak was cooked perfectly and complimented with a delicious chimichurri drizzle which was not overpowering like many of them can be. The generous portion of pork was paired with a beautiful demi-glacé and an apple butter highlighting the natural sweet and salt of the belly. Dessert was a simple house made ice cream with shortbread crumbles which tasted like a Christmas memory. The price point is at the higher end, but well worth it. You are paying for quality ingredients prepared by talented people served by exceptional staff.

What a beautiful evening celebrating my son's birthday. Beautiful people, wonderful service and food was beyond my expectations. I can dare to say it's been the best pasta I had in my life. I stopped going to Italian restaurants because they were too mediocre, pasta never tasted fresh but THIS PLACE, my goodness, what a DELIGHT, Pasta tasted SO FRESH, my children ate it all, I was surprised! We also tried specialty drinks and they were exquisite! I would recommend you to try: A Bee in the Garden drink! Also for dessert we had Catalán cream and they truly know Spaniard cuisine, this cream was exactly on its sugar point. The ambience was so inviting, and last but not least it's a friendly restaurant, my kids felt welcomed (specially for a big family of us) Our garçon made us feel at home and he made our night. I failed to ask his name but we surely won't forget his kindness. Thank you Cha Bella for a peaceful and nice night!

Myrtle & Rose was doing a special holiday experience called Myrtle & Mistletoe and the rooftop bar was decorated beautifully with seasonal decor, and the comfortable sofa we were seated at had its own heater, cozy blanket, and festive pillows. Though it was a bit chilly we were comfy sipping delicious seasonal cocktails and beer. Service was attentive, friendly, and exceptional in every way. Whether for a festive holiday drink or anytime I would recommend Myrtle & Rose.

Great service and a great meal. Quiet for a Wednesday night just right.

It was the perfect Restaurant for my sister and I to spend our Thanksgiving at. The food selection was great and plentiful. Tommy, who was at the carving station, was delightful. We hope to come back next year if not sooner! Everyone worked very hard to make all the guests feel welcome and appreciated.
