Sunday Brunch Pick: Iron Rooster

Sunday brunch, where to go?  One of my picks for Sunday Brunch is the Iron Rooster, an upscale full service restaurant that serves breakfast all day long with the option for lunch and dinner choices.  It was just before Christmas that they opened their 3^rd location in Hunt Valley; the other two locations are in Canton and Annapolis.  All three locations offer out a new twist on traditional comfort food.

Upscale dinner-and-a-movie: CineBistro grand opening at the Rotunda

Luxe movie going has come to Baltimore with the opening February 24^th of CinéBistro at the Rotunda. The seven theatre movie complex has state-of-the-art 4 k digital projection and 7.1 surround sound add local Executive Chef Mark Davis, who has created an American inspired menu for moviegoers to enjoy at their lush leather reclining theatre seats or at the theatre’s restaurant section.

Just like making reservations for dinner, you can reserve your seats at your CinéBistro movie choice, arrive 30 minutes prior to the movie to place your order from the chef driven menu – sit back, relax and your meal is served before the movie begins. It is real dining, on china, metal flatware and linen napkins. You don’t have to order food; you can get your favorite movie going snacks, even get a beer, cocktail, specialty coffee or wine.  Since alcohol is served, the movie theatre is adults only, 21 years age or older.
