Food was good. Service was a little slow, but they place was full when we got there. We were lucky to be seated without reservations, but were surprised by the prices when we sat down. Yelp indicated 2/5 for cost, but it was closer to what I would consider to be 4/5 ($100 per person).
Amazing food and even better service, great atmosphere, went for our anniversary, wife loved it and we will be going back for sure.
This is a great restaurant for a date night. I've come here multiple times for lunch and the food and service are always great.
Great location for this little gem. It is very small so make reservations. There is a bar area that only seats 4 and ample parking along the street or in public lots nearby. Service is good and they are very attentive. Our water glasses were never empty. Server very well acquainted with the menu and they even have specials off the menu. Menu doesn't have tons of choices, but makes sense when everything is prepared fresh and what is on the menu is done extremely well. First, drinks... yum! They have a terrific happy hour deal. That is worth a visit on its own. It's pretty spectacular and the drinks are great. The good news is you can get the HH without sitting at the bar. We had an Old Fashion, a Lemon Raspberry Martini, a Lemon Drop martini, a Sidecar, and a Carajillo. All were well made and delicious. The Carajillo was amazing - better than an espresso martini!! The food was wonderful. First course was the Baked Avocado, Cream of Crab soup, and the mussels which weren't on the regular menu as they were a special. The Avocado was fabulous and not too heavy. The mussels were in a delicious broth. Cream of crab was good but not worth the $21 a bowl (just average as you would get anywhere else). Second course was Filet Mignon, Shrimp and Crab, and House Made Pork Sausage Pappardelle. All were delicious and served with sides that elevated the flavors. The filet is a fav! The portions were a great dinner size and not overwhelmingly huge. We skipped dessert, but they were all great choices. We had previously had their s'mores which is a must try! They do have good coffee as well. Great location, intimate setting, nice people and a wonderful place to visit for a wonderful meal. Worth visiting. Be prepared as they are pricey (over $300 for 4 people). It's odd because their Happy Hour is just such a steal for the craft cocktails available (I guess gets you in the door). Perhaps sit at the bar for HH and just get drinks for a reasonable option. Maybe throw in a charcuterie board to snack on while enjoying the libations. For sure will be back.
One Eleven is always a 10/10 choice for an amazing meal! Brussel sprouts are always perfectly crispy, filets were so good and we had their homemade Swiss cake roll slice for dessert. A small, intimate setting, great for dates and special celebrations!
Food was outstanding, the menu isn't huge, but it's varied enough and everything we tried was high quality, inventive and well presented. Service was attentive, not overbearing, but always quietly filling the water and checking on us. Not inexpensive, but worth it!
The food was so delicious and fresh. We enjoyed the gazpacho with scallops, the burrata salad, then we had the steak, and the soft crab special. Both were delicious. The desserts were all over the top amazing. We had an excellent server, he was so accommodating and attentive. This is a small but charming restaurant. We will most definitely be back!
Small classy restaurant downtown Belair with a limited menu of exceptionally prepared food. Definitely for special occasions.
What an amazing experience! My husband surprised me with a short getaway for the weekend and we went to one eleven main for dinner on Thursday. The ambiance is so cute! The downtown street is quaint, narrow and still manages to have enough parking! The restaurant has a patio as well as seating indoors. We had a lovely table in the window and a wonderfully attentive waitress who made the night amazing! We couldn't go without trying the baked baby Brie, which I haven't seen in YEARS and it was served with baked pears and compote. There weren't enough toast points but our waitress quickly brought more. YUM. I'll admit that Brie is an acquired taste, but I have acquired it lol. The Brie was amazingly filling but we also sampled their house bread which is absolutely amazing! It would be enough to start on were it not for the small plates that cannot be left unsampled! For our entrees my husband went with the filet and I tried the house special: snakehead over grits with succotash. My goodness it was awesome! I've never tried snakehead before and I must admit it had a very mild taste, was flaky, and didn't have any pretentiousness in the preparation! It was excellent. My husband said it was the best steak he's had, high praise indeed for a man who eschews meat when given any other option! My husband had purchased a custom cake for the occasion and the waitress brought it out, lit, and even took pix for us! The service was awesome as were the wine recommendations! 5/5 We HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
