Nestled in a boutique shopping center in the northern Baltimore suburb of Lutherville-Timonium, Tark’s Grill serves up classic comfort food in an upscale casual atmosphere. The restaurant’s patio, overlooking the shopping center’s courtyard, features an outdoor fireplace, while inside, the trendy bar and dining area offer a welcoming and elegant ambiance with dark wood and vintage photos of historic Baltimore. The diverse menu offers something for everyone. The fried local oysters and steamed mussels stand out among the appetizers. The menu features an array of salads, burgers and sandwiches. And for heartier fare, go for the lump crab cakes or pasta dishes. Fish entrees can be prepared in one of three ways: broiled, Provence or Thai. And you can turn your steak into a surf ’n turf dish by adding shrimp, salmon or lump crab. Whether you’re a local or passing through Baltimore, Tark’s Grill is a neighborhood gem that’s worth a visit.
