    I absolutely loved coming here. I was celebrating a birthday and there was a tag at the table stating it was a birthday celebration. Everyone who passed by wished me a happy birthday. Aires was an amazing host and provided great service. The food was also so good!

    There was a live band playing during dinner which added to the atmosphere and everyone I encountered was very friendly and polite. Dinner was excellent-had the crab cakes. My friends got the Cobb salad with chicken and another got salad with salmon and we all enjoyed our dinners were very good. Brussel sprout appetizer was delicious and cocktails were amazing. Will definitely be back! And the dessert chocolate cake was decadent!!!

    We again enjoyed our visit to the Blackwall Barn and Lodge in Gambrills, MD. We lie to go early and have a quiet and delicious meal. This visit was no exception. Their fillet special with mashed potatoes and asparagus was superb. Our server was attentive and ensured our needs were met. We also were visited by the manager, Nitara. She had been at this Titan location for 6 weeks and knew her stuff. We enjoyed our couple of minutes to get to know her, as she goy yo know us. Once again, a very positive experience.
