    Front of the House - One person. Attentive; engaging; and started a conversation. Discussed lunch options and his favorite item. Recalled my face and where he had previously provided seating. Polite and helpful. Very positive change. Wait Staff - Monica - attentive; helpful; and professional. Meal - Stayed within the Wheel House - Maryland Crab Soup - bowl. Seasoned; tasty; and worth having on a daily basis. Followed up with mini crab cakes. Seasoned; tasty; and filling. The crab based meals are reliable and consistent - you cannot go wrong with these menu items. Worth the visit. Solid location for business meals - nice tables and open space - business conversation friendly. Also wonderful for corporate lunch day - parties 5 to 12 appear to fit well and the guests appear to enjoy themselves.

    Food is fantastic. We come back each trip to Towson for the crab cakes and outstanding vegetable selections. The staff is excellent. Can be a bit noisy if parties are underway but that’s normal.
