Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Bel Air

My girlfriend and I went to Pappas and overall had a really good experience. The atmosphere was nice, and our server Brandon, was good and reasonably attentive without constantly checking in on us. We started with the seafood sampler, and that was probably one of the highlights. The crab cake balls were really good, and so was the calamari along with the scallops. I thought the calamari needed a little salt, but the sauce that came with it was really good. My girlfriend got the stuffed Atlantic salmon. She was pretty full by the time our food came out so she didn't eat a ton of it, but the imperial crab was really good. I got the Double the Pleasure crab cakes with the jackknife potatoes and green beans. The potatoes were tasty, but those crab cakes were outstanding. I grew up in Baltimore and have eaten plenty of crab cakes over the years, and these were easily some of the best I've had. I'd come back just for those. The green beans on the other hand...not so much. They were extremely bland and underseasoned. Even adding some salt didn't really save them. It honestly tasted like someone put some raw green beans in a pan with a little oil and called it a day. Definitely wouldn't get those again. My only other knock was how long the food took. The appetizer took around 20 minutes, and our entrees were probably another 30–40 minutes. They were extremely busy, though, so I'm sure that played a part. Overall, we both enjoyed ourselves and I'd definitely come back. Great atmosphere, good service and those crab cakes were absolutely worth it. I'll just be staying away from the green beans next time

This new restaurant serves an area that needed a great restaurant. Nora Blu is a wonderful addition to the Meyerhoff, Cathedral Street and the surrounding area. The decor is upscale, the cuisine was superb and service is excellent. I'll return!

I celebrated my birthday at Xenia Greek Kouzina last night and had such a great experience! The food was absolutely delicious. We had the lamb chops, which were cooked perfectly and so flavorful. The seafood pasta was AMAZING, loaded with mussels and seafood in a creamy, flavorful sauce. Everything came out beautifully presented, fresh, and seasoned really well. The atmosphere was perfect for a birthday dinner, and the overall experience made the night feel special. Great food, great vibes, and a beautiful way to celebrate another year of life. I would definitely come back! ❤️🎂🥂

The service, staff and menu at Marie Louise Bistro are outstanding. Their wide range of menu options assures that your dining experience will be memorable. Wine and cocktail options are top shelf.

Our steak and chicken parm dinners were excellent. Our server, William, who has assisted us many times in the past is so pleasant and helpful that it makes our dinner even more enjoyable!!!
