We visited the Killarney House twice in one month. The food and the service at the Killarney House is simply outstanding. Over the years we have visited this establishment many times and have never been disappointed.

Each time we go back we see many of the same faces and speaks very highly of the management of the Killarney House. Linda, and Melissa just to name two have always made our visits special.

Located on West Central a very short distance from Davidsonville Rd at 584 West Central Avenue, Davidsonville, MD 21035 (410) 798-8700 the Killarney House serves special Irish faire. The corn beef and cabbage is superb, the Irish mixed grill a treat and a half. Even the crab cakes will have your mouth watering.

The restaurant’s pub serves a variety of Irish and UK beers. Bar food is part of the service just like it is in Ireland. The bar folks make a show out of their skills. The walls are filled with farming antiques, Celtic K’iche, and photographs of Ireland.

The dining room is a family place. It is visually pleasing with its giant stone fireplace, colorful windows, great photographs, and attractive decor. The food is as authentic as any we had when visiting the UK and Ireland.

It can get a little noisy in this busy place. We like to time our visits so we are ahead of the crowd. Others that like a busier ambiance will appreciate the restaurant during evenings when musical entertainment is available. Visiting their website is a must.  At the website you will find, menus, beverage lists, entertainment schedules, and even catering details and copies of newspaper restaurant reviews over the years.

I like the Killarney House because the manager is present. He is watching over the place, visiting with customers, delivering meals to tables, and making sure your dining experience is the best he can muster. You can tell the wait staff enjoy working at the Killarney House. We have never encountered a sour mood and each of the staff knows the menu well. Customers are VALUED at the Killarney House. That is obvious. The Killarney House is one of the few restaurants we have been to where everything on the menu tastes wonderful. It just is. The wait staff knows it. When the wait staff say that everything on the menu is delicious they mean it. Not one of them has ever said, “Stay away from this or that.” Good food is part of the Killarney House culture.

The restaurant is owned by the Irish Restaurant Company. A link to other restaurants owned by the company is at the Killarney House website.

The food here has a special touch that makes it very special indeed. The Killarney House is one of our five out of five restaurants for food and for service.

Eileen and I have not written a review of the Rod N Reel yet but we have been there umpteen gazillion times and we held our wedding reception there 21 years ago. We have kind of a personal attachment to Mr. Donavan’s restaurant you see. We HIGHLY recommend the Rod N Reel.

(022609 – Lexington Park, MD) – Do you appreciate good Indian food as much as I do? Then you need to, no you MUST visit Bombay Garden, 21736 Great Mills Rd, Lexington Park, MD 20653 (301-866-0444.) The Sondh family has a winner here.

In my networking pursuits I like to meet with people that can help me find the right avenue toward a better job. My contact that I visited today suggested the new Indian restaurant in the old Roost. Old Lexingtonparkians will remember the old white building on Great Mills Parkway as the home of the old Roo’s Roost.

When we went inside we were immediately impressed with the decor and incredibly drawn toward the lunch buffet. There was a menu but my senses were drawn to smells I had not sensed since leaving the San Francisco Bay area in 2001.

The Tandoori Chicken was mouth watering and the other Indian dishes were as spicy and tasty as I remembered them. The service at the restaurant was excellent. Our water glasses were always full and the waiter understood my friend and I were in a conversation we did not want interrupted. You get the impression you are in a five star restaurant in the big city. These folks know the restaurant business.

The Bombay Garden is exactly the place to take a business contact, a friend, or your significant other. The atmosphere is pleasant, the music is authentic, the wait staff and the owners are top notch. The meal – I’m home now and I have the urge to return for dinner. The meal was superb. I still remember the flavors. Oh and the price will not scare you. Don’t let the Sondhs know their prices are too low!

Put the Bombay Gardens on your list of restaurants to try. You cannot go wrong at the Bombay Garden. I give it a five on my scale of favorite spots.
