Really great/creative food and a wonderful environment.This place is rapidly becoming one of my favorite restaurants. They do such a good job of creating an interesting menu. And so far everything weve had has been delicious. Theres just a lot of attention to detail even on small side dishes.

Ive visited Mad Chef twice now and have gotten great food and great service both times! For the appetizer, we love the Crab & Artichoke Dip! It is warm, cheesy, and the pretzel bread is a great pairing. For entrees, my husband and I LOVE the Cauliflower Risotto. It is creamy and has great flavor. Our servers are always nice and very attentive. There is both indoor and outdoor seating and plenty of drink options that we will have to try next time. Definitely recommend visiting if youre in the area!

We found this place on a whim after having a bad experience at a festival and it was just what we needed to end the day on a high note.We picked this place specifically for the outside seating and was not disappointed.The waitress was super kind, the food was good and the drinks were great. It was not too busy so we werent shouting at each other.They had dietary options clearly on the menu which was a bonus.

I was going to write a review last night giving this place a decent rating but I spent the time with, for the first time ever, food poisoning - hence the single star.Pros: employees are very kind and attentive and the squid ink linguini was on point!Cons: food poisoning (obviouslyand the paella (culprit of the former). The paella was severely lacking in seasoning, though it did smell and taste burnt. There wasnt much rice and what little there was was liquidy - no nice crispy edges like youd expect from a good paella.We overpaid, significantly for what we received.

An unexpected gem. Not only was the food amazing (we had the mussels which are the best that I’ve hadour server Alisha was amazing. She was attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. Highly recommend all the drinks, dessert, and the mussels. If you’re questioning whether or not to go, go and ask for Alisha! 10/10

This was my 1st time going there and I loved the food and the service!!

First time here and wont be our last. Met up with a friend for dinner and we started off with drinks. They were not overly sweet and strong enough. I forgot the names but they were great. Then unto the food. My friend ordered the ribeye steak and I had the Pallea. Let me say this: this was the first time we cleared out plates! It was the perfect portion and the flavors were amazing! The price was a bit high but worth it. Customer service was on point as well. Highly recommend! Cant wait to come back for their brunch 😊.

My 3 year-old grandson and I had lunch at the Mad Chef in Ellicott City and it was a wonderful. My waiter, Ethan, provided excellent service and Mario, who I believe was the manager, was terrific! The food was incredible and both my grandson and I had an excellent time. I would highly recommend.

High prices for mediocre food. Chorizo & cheese dip was bland, Caesar salad was average, I could make better shrimp tacos at home, and the lamb tacos were not good. Better off going across the street for a pizza.

I was trying to order healthy carry out today. Waitress/hostess was busy on her Facebook and very rude. There were no substitutions for fries offered. I ended up paying 23 for a grilled chicken sandwich. Im sorry I bothered her. I thought it was a restaurant.

Do yourself a favor run to Ellicott City and eat here. The food is absolutely amazing, everything we tasted was delicious. The service we received was wonderful. You have to try the tuna taquitos, and the squid ink linguini. I will definitely be back again.

The atmosphere was clean and luxurious. It was windy and a little cold today And the staffs kind explanation of the menu and the smiling face made me feel good. (But it was too long explanation.The food was delicious. I like the atmosphere clean. I want to go again and taste all the other dishes.

I went for brunch with a friend. I had the 20 dollar bottomless mimosas and my glass did not get empty. There are other brunch options that have bottomless mimosas that are cheaper, however, I will pay the extra because the food was so delicious. I had the avocado toast and a side of cheesy grits. It was amazing! My friend had the MC French Toast, the cereal of the week was captain crunch, so it was french toast crusted in captain crunch crumbs. My friend said it was the best french toast she had ever had. So definitely check this place out!

The best restaurant in the area for foodies. Gastro pub exciting. Seared Salmon on grilled asparagus with mango salsa and balsamic reduction

Outside or dine in options available. Ambiance is Beautiful inside. Menu could have more open options for vegetarians…but the small selections are delicious! JALEN our “Mad Chef host” was fabulous with the meal suggestions and the drinks!!!! Try his dragon berry Mojito!!l DELICIOUS!!! Calamari was light, perfectly seasoned and the crab/artichoke dip…ahhhh. Wait time and the food was incredible! Great first time experience!

This place generally has great food and service but last night was hit and miss. From the start our server was very odd. She called us “babes” and “loves” every single time she came to our table. I would have understood once when she came to the table for the first time, but every time was just weird. Also we had to get another server to have her come over because she disappeared for a while. While my entree was excellent (1/2 chickenmy wife’s was underwhelming and overpriced. For $27 we expected more than 5 shrimp to accompany the bowl of cauliflower rice and other veggies. Seems this dish could easily have been $23 and would have seemed more appropriately sized.

I use to love coming to this restaurant, but I visited today with my husband for a early dinner for our anniversary and it’s has gone downhill, the food was marginal and the service was terrible. The wait staff acted as if though we were such a bother you could just see and feel their displeasure at having to serve us. They practical tossed our food at us and threw the check on the table ~so unprofessional and We are paying full price for service like that? The salad I ordered the lettuce was wilted and you could tell the vegetables were dried out the carrots were practically white. Such a disappointment and of course the prices have risen. We will not be visiting again.

We found Mad Chef on a Google search and felt adventurous. Well, I’m glad we did. We went on a nice sunny Wednesday and the outside dining was pretty full. So, we sat inside and had a nice area to ourselves. The service was very good and attentive. The food was very good. We had the 1/2 chicken and the flavor was outstanding. The guacamole and chips were excellent. Our Sangria(picturedwas really good, along with dessert ( picturedFlourless Chocolate cake. I also love the decor and wall art. We will definitely go back. 😊

The food here is so good! We went for the first time and left very happy. Portion sizes are perfect and there is a variety of things to pick from on the menu. Everything is also reasonably priced!

Outstanding. My family and I went to this restaurant after a work event over the weekend, and we wanted fare that was tasty, creative, and comforting. This delivered on all levels. We went for Saturday brunch/lunch and everyone (we had a party of 7 - all with varying tasteshad something to choose from - whether it was the street corn, french toast, risotto or a sandwich. Everything was excellent, and the service was impeccable. At one point, one member of our party wasnt happy with how something was cooked, and the manager came and offered another recommendation, brought the dish out immediately and made sure we all had what we needed. It was a great experience and was exactly what we wanted after our event. Excellent food (the cocktails are terrific tooand impeccable service. I highly recommend.

Went on a weekday for lunch. It wasnt busy soon after opening at 11am. We were seated right away. I enjoyed the atmosphere and cleanliness. Employees were not wearing masks but most customers had them when they entered. The liquor selection had a bit of everything. Two stall bathrooms. Free parking in the shopping center. Grocery store, liquor store and other restaurants near by.

Went for lunch. Wasnt crowded. The decor and ambiance was pleasing and the staff very nice. The food was prepared with attention to details and very flavorful!

I REALLY want to give this place ten stars because the food is amazing and our server, Ethan, was incredible! However, my group had feedback for the manager about the way we were treated by the hostess and he didn’t appear to take our feedback seriously. He didn’t apologize, his body language was nonchalant and he had a smirk on his face while we were sharing. I can’t patronize a place that doesn’t value my customer experience and will spend my money elsewhere.

My friend took me out last Friday, after raving about how amazing this restaurant was. I loved it, had Shirmp and Tuna Tacos and crab dip. The drinks were amazing too, had a papaya margarita, Yum! The service was wonderful. One one issue they took a while to turn the heat lamps on the patio, it was chilly outside and no tables available inside. We definitely be back soon.

Services: she is very patient with someone that has know idea what to order. Never been here. The mimosas are ready good.The tacos were awesome. Light and delicious.

Amazing experience! Ethan was honestly the best server weve ever had! Ethan took the time out to really give us amazing recommendations and knew the menu through and through! He truly made the experience top notch. The women who filled our waters was also so kind and attentive! A man whom we believe is the owner or manager came up and struck a nice little Convo with us and was so personable. The food was perfect and everything suggested to us was fantastic. Try the flautas and the bread pudding! So good! 10/10 will definitely be returning!

Everything was delicious. Our waiter, Ethan, was a tad bit too hands on for me. If Im looking at the drink menu and youve made your recommendations, step away. It felt like we were obligated to order a drink. We were going to but having him hover over the table the way he did felt intrusive. He was nice but just a little too much. My husband and I ordered two cocktails which he said the bartender did a taste test of. He saw him place a straw in the glass pull it out and taste it. Id do that if Im tasting someones drink at my table but never if I were serving drinks so that was a bit of a turn off. The drink by the way was tasty but a bit too minty. The one my husband had was very tasty. Wed go back but i dont want the bartender to taste my drink befire he/she served it. Thats the only reason i cant do five stars.

This place is beautiful, the ambiance is gracious, and the design inside is inviting. But if youre in a rush, this place isnt yours. The wait for us took like 45 minutes. The food taste good. Thier omelet,the egg taste dry. The home fries, that cut squared, taste a bit salty.

Great seafood options! As some other reviewers stated portions were a bit all over the place (these two were entrees and the appetizer we ordered was of similar size). Nonetheless it was delicious.

So I tried to take a GOOD photo of my food, but it was so good that it didnt happen. The steak needed nothing extra to flavor it, but wow! Honestly the surprising factor was the mashed potatoes. These are often dont really well or really bad, theres never an in between, but today there was success and they were creamy and flavorful. Again, perfect seasoning was a thing. Highly recommended dropping by this place.

What a great dining experience. Rockfish was one of the specials and we tried some of their regular specials. From the flavors to the service, everything was on point. I can’t wait to return

Great ambience and the food is simply delicious. Everything tasted super fresh. Highly recommend!

If I could give 6 stars I would. Wow!, this place was absolutely amazing. From the delicious meals to the excellent service from our waiter Ethan, my husband and I were really impressed and already talking about visiting again. My only regret is not coming here sooner. Everything was fresh and served perfectly. I cant say enough good things about Ethan. He was attentive, knowledgeable and not too overbearing. He really made of first visit so enjoyable. If you havent been here yet, no sure what youre waiting for. Go....right now!!😊

My fiancé and I finally had dinner here after knowing about Mad Chef for quite sometime and they did not disappoint! We started with some shrimp tacos and a blackberry mixed cocktail that was only featured for valentines day. I got the squid ink seafood linguine and my fiancé got el jefe. My shrimp was a bit overcooked but the linguine and sauce tasted delicious! My fiancés burger and fries were cooked to perfection. We also had the flourless chocolate cake and it was moist and rich! The serves was also outstanding, Cody was very friendly and always checking in on us. We are definitely coming back for brunch sometime and maybe for a different dessert.

The food was delicious. The service is excellent. I love the dessert alcohol drink... The portions are random on the appetizer list because some of the apps like the empanadas are really small and bland with no taste. But then the appetizer for the mussels was huge and very tasty. Also, I love the shrimp tacos.

We went here for a birthday/girls dinner and had a great experience. Our waiter was phenomenal, knew the dishes in and out, and was very passionate about them all. We had the queso appetizer and it was perfect blend of savory with a touch of spice. For the entrées we had scallops, ribs, and the seared tuna. Everyone was delighted with their meal! The flourless chocolate cake with blueberry and raspberry syrup syrup with vanilla ice cream was a big hit too!

Lets start with our recommendation: visit MAD CHEF pronto! We will be back. And visit them anytime we are near! Must try their fish brunch we heard much about. This time four of us enjoyed dinner here.First, about the staff:- ask for Ted as your waiter, and- meet Mario, theamager we met.They were immensely helpful. You can trust their recommendations and their knowledge about the menu offerings. In a little hurry now, past our zzz time, so will post photos we took and label them later.Second, if like us, you like outdoor seating, here you will find a terrace with giant radiant heaters - the kind used in outdoor terraces in Vermont ski places!Finally for today, please tell us how their flowerless chocolate cake is because we were filled up. 😅🖖

Excellent food in a rustic atmosphere! Wood tables, exposed brick, arched doorways and candles on the table. The food is always great! I tried the empanadas tonight and they were perfectly crispy on the outside with a light drizzle of sauce. This is a good spot for date night!

May 2021Wonderful empanadas and mussels.  Great beer and drink selection, we really enjoyed the sangria.  The shrimp tacos were amazing, probably some of the best ever for me.  The salmon was so fresh and delicious and the beet salad was very refreshing. Fresh and delightful but a little skimpy on salad contents, it was mostly beets. Excellent service, and I will definitely be back.

We had a good time overall staff was nice.food was good not for pricebut was fair I guess ...drinks were okay we spent almost $160.00 for two..flavor and style was good...would of gave 5stars but the crab wasnt lump like it said it was mixed and my calamari may have been cuddlefish was all bodies no tenticles which always makes me weary of authenticity but fried perfectly mussels was good..and the squid pasta was delicious Lobster was okay kinda small.. the rosemary fingerling potatoes were ruined by being twice fried...that was the only item we didnt finish...its just my chef DNA makes me critical when it comes to dinning out I expect what I would deliver the whole package especially at certain price points...#businessowner to the next...overall it was a cool outing expierene we got full and tipsy ,nice concept not as MAD as we expected but good food and method of cooking..just leave the fingerling alone ...

Wonderful dinner. Empanadas were really good. Squid ink pasta and fish and chips were all on point. Fish and chips were fat chunks of fish with crusty, tasty breading. The lobster, scallops, and shrimp were all cooked wonderfully for the pasta. We will be back for the paella

Service was an absolute 5. I had the wedge salad and water, my husband had blackened catfish sandwich and he said it was really good. The menu was kind of small, looking at pictures I was expecting more. Only got a 4 because when we walked in the bartender didnt say us and was joking with clients/possible friends about something super inappropriate.

Our server Jay made this experience! Amazing rundown of the entire menu. Every food recommendation wad on point. The cherry on top of it all was his great energy made the family meet up an absolute joy - mom and baby sister met my wife and I halfway (NC and NYfor the weekend. Great value and a nice vibe for this place. Well be back for sure!!!

Went during an off time (around 2pm on a Saturdayand had a terrific lunch. Hubby ordered and truly enjoyed their Fish and Chips. The crust on the fish was crisp and flaky while the potatoes were crispy and flavorful. I ordered their Grilled Half Chicken which was topped with a Shallot Chimichurri (of which I asked for extra!then served on a bed of Broccolini and Bacon Braised Collard Greens--lordy, that was an amazing meal! The chicken was cooked perfectly-- super moist and full of flavor. For dessert, we paired their delicious Banana Cheesecake with their fresh, French Press coffee. We cant wait to come back and try their other dishes, especially their tasty looking list of apps.

Decided to come out on short notice but was able to get seating of our choice (likely due to covid).The outdoor seat is well appointed and comfortable. The service is very good. Our server was very kind and sweet to our 15 month old.The food looked very delicious but the taste didnt hit the mark. It was bland and not very appetizing at all. Wifes cocktail looked pretty but was meh as well.Well consider coming back in the future but not anytime soon (this was our first time eating out since the covid shut down occurred, needless to say we were left pretty disappointed)

The staff here were so kind and attentive. The menu had a good variety of food that we all wanted to try, but could only try so much at once. I loved the beef sliders! The bacon jelly was so good, and complimented the burger so nicely! The shrimp and grits were the only thing that we didn’t like as much, I think the cheese was not to our preference.Overall this was a great experience!

We had a wonderful outdoor dinner here! The patio space was nice and comfortable, our server was helpful and attentive, and most important of all, the food was absolutely delicious! I was impressed with the number of options and creative dishes that set this place apart from anywhere else. This is my new favorite restaurant in Howard County!

Honestly Ive been here once in the past and it was amazing. I know its difficult getting back in the groove since covid. But our waitress was a mess. She was too busy socializing rather than making sure everything/everyone was taken care of. She was extremely behind and forgetful and it was not even busy. When youre ahead thats when you can socialize, not when you have tables waiting on you. The food is always good but this time the service was whack.Fifty fifty burger, crab dip, kids mac n cheese, mad chef salad.

1st time at mad chef, it was a ambiance and atmosphere. I waitress Olivia was wonderful, she was all smiles very soft-spoken but definitely brought joy to our table. I found that the food was okay we had the summer halibut which came out very salty and I had The seafood pot which I was very disappointed because the clams were peas and the muscles were very small. The only thing big out of that ball was the shrimp but it wasnt that many. Dont get me wrong it was good but definitely just wasnt worth the price that I paid for. The menu is tad bit on the high side for the amount of food that they give you. The drinks were awesome I would definitely come back but more than likely get drinks and appetizers. However, I said come on down to try out the experience and have some fun.
