The setting really is the draw to this cornerstone dining establishment in Ellicott City— a cozy 200-year-old stone building carved out of a mountain.  In the summertime they have an outdoor deck with beautiful views of Ellicott City. (You better call ahead though because they don’t always open the deck.) In the wintertime it’s a great place to hang out by the fire upstairs and enjoy live music on Fridays and Saturdays. Kari’s favorite is the crab and artichoke pizza.
