Maisy's is a low-lit, woody contemporary bistro that boasts American fare prepared with classically-trained bravado. Perfect for business or social dining, the tables by the fireplace are prime real estate during cold-weather months. It's important to note that everything served here is made in-house, from the Split Pea Soup with smoked turkey, to the Venison Chili accompanied by crusty focaccia. Best of all, the menu is full of luscious surprises thanks to old favorites given fresh new treatment, as well as house specialties that are deliciously original. To start, the Wood-Roasted Duck Eggroll stuffed with kohlrabi slaw is about as heavenly as anything you've ever tasted, especially when dipped in the chef's own hoisin sauce. Sandwich- and salad-wise, the 8-oz. Bison or Angus Burger on herbed focaccia is a certain crowd-pleaser. And among the mains, notable options include Maisy's Pan Roasted Quail, coffee and adobo-braised Short Ribs of Beef, and Vegetable Lasagna prepared with fresh, house-made pasta. Still, if you're in a Baltmore- state of mind, the Corn and Jalapeno Crab Cakes make any other crab cakes pale by comparison. While the food is top-drawer, the prices are moderate, which is also true of the wines by glass or bottle. Maisy's doubles as a neighborhood bar, so swing by for Happy Hour or drop in on game day to catch the action.
