Liberatore's started back in 1988 down in Eldersburg, with brothers, cousins, and dear family friends later opening their other locations. Each location reflects the original owner's unique personality and style, while remaining true to their dedication to authentic Italian cuisine. In addition, they offer Maryland and local favorites as well, crab cakes included! Read on to see how they represent!
It's hard to believe that Little Havana has been around for 20 years! What was an old abandoned warehouse was transformed into a Cuban getaway right in South Baltimore. Known for their consistency, killer mojitos, and super fun Brunch, Little Havana has quickly become a staple in the Federal Hill neighborhood. So you really don't think of crab cakes when you think Cuban food, but it wouldn't be Baltimore if a crab cake wasn't on the menu. So hop aboard, set sail for South Baltimore with us, and see what we thought!
Looney's Pub was started down in the Canton section of Baltimore back in 1993. The vision was simple: open a place with great food, lots of beer, things to do while hanging out with your friends, and be able to watch any sports you want on the televisions. Things must have gone well, because ten years later, the Bel Air location was opened. Now Looney's has 4 locations, the other two being in Maple Lawn and College Park. Looney's Pub has won some accolades over the years, the most recent being the Harford Award in 2013 for their contributions to economic and civic life in Harford County. With the promise of awesome food, we set our sights on the beloved crab cake. Read on to see if the crab cake is on par with the expectations set!
Luminous is the hotel bar/restaurant located at the Westin BWI. Usually hotel restaurants can be hit or miss, but the Westin name sort of carries along some cred for being better quality than your average Courtyard. And when you walk into the lobby, you certainly get that from the allure of the decor to the attention to detail. And while perusing the menu trying to see if it shall be here that you dine, or the Bob Evans down the street, your eyes happen to notice the crab cakes. You're probably here on business, which begs the question if you should get your crab cake fix here, or find somewhere else. Well look no further! Read on and see for yourself....
For over 10 years, Luna Del Sea has been entertaining tourists and locals alike with fresh seafood and sizzling steaks. And the location is prime: right on Pratt St near Camden Yards, M&T Bank Stadium, the Convention Center, a good number of the major hotels in the downtown area, and so forth. If you're like us, you've noticed the place many times, but haven't been able to stop in, either because of traffic, time constraints, or the line out the door on a busy night (they do have a pretty nice outdoor seating area). But despite how fancy the establishment appears, the dress code is casual, so feel free to wear your Oriole's orange or Ravens camo. We happened to stop by after a phenomenal Orioles win one night, and checked out one of the specialties of the house -- crab cakes! Check out the review to see what we thought!
