Best Time to Visit

Weekday mid-mornings (9-11am) or early afternoons (2-4pm) offer the quietest dining experience. Sunday brunch is popular but comes with longer waits, so weekdays are ideal for families with restless little ones.

Seasonal Notes

Open year-round with consistent hours. The cozy indoor setting makes it a great choice during hot summers or cold Maryland winters when outdoor dining isn't appealing.
