They have great food and amazing rotating specials. Cocktails are also spot on. I’m always wary of fusion, but this place gets it spot on.

Take a hike!
Here are some hikes we love that are within reasonable distance
Elevation is higher than sugarloaf, a little more strenuous, but a great half day hike
Annapolis Rock Black Rock Cliff
11175 Baltimore National PikeElevation is higher than sugarloaf, a little more strenuous, but a great half day hike
Still uphill half of the way, but there is a shorter and longer trail for those wanted something less strenuous. Great views at the top. A good hike for the little ones. Also there is Sugarloaf vineyards right next door for great local wine after your hike.
