My boyfriend and I went here for the first time last night for our anniversary and we had a great time. The food and drinks were AMAZING! From the ambiance to the jazz band to the service - everything was just incredible. Our server, Angel, was awesome and knowledgeable. The vegetarian “steak” was phenomenal too! PLEASE don’t ever get rid of that menu item! It’s so hard as a vegetarian to try new restaurants and not have to end up just getting a salad. We will definitely be back!

We arrived at this popular destination on an early Friday evening for dinner. I hadn’t checked earlier but having a concert at near by Merriweather Post Pavilion also added to their crowd. We also found ourselves within the Happy Hour time frame.
Service- was good and attentive.
Food- I would think twice before ordering the Fried Oyster appetizer. The pickled cucumber slaw was a nice touch, the flavors complementing each other but left me wishing there were more oysters to enjoy. The brussel sprouts were tasty but overwhelmed with sauce. I did like the flavor, and they were tender to bite into but I would have enjoyed the crispy bits that wasn’t as charred.
I ordered the Fish and Chips which was a large portion. The fish was tender but a bit heavy due to the batter it was dipped in but the French fries were thin and crispy. The coleslaw was tasty and constructed differently than your typical type of coleslaw. I did enjoy that.
My daughter seemed happy with her grilled salmon dinner. I would say my favorite choice of our meal was their classic Creme brûlée dessert. That was creamy, smooth and delicious.
We are not drinkers but they have a huge bar that was very busy and appeared to have a wide selection of Whiskeys, wines, beer flights, specialty drinks and other beverages.
I would like to return on a less busy day to try other selections of their seasonal menu.

Employees were very helpful and friendly.I went on a Friday and the 18&21 area had live jazz music.
The drinks were very good.
The vibe was smooth.
The presentation of the plates were very fancy.
The taste of the food was not in accordance with the price. A New York steak was $58 and the flavor was like an Outback steak. For that price I was expecting more like a Ruth’s Chris flavor. For the price we pay I prefer a more quality flavor place. I would not repeat the spot.

Great atmosphere and excellent service. I can’t take anything away from the vibe. However, it's not worth the price tag. The experience was one of a high-end restaurant with a child-size portion of food. Expect to pay a minimum of $100 for three items.
The best part was the brussels sprouts.
Again, the service was excellent, but I was hungry afterward.

I recently dined at Cured and had an absolutely delightful experience! The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy evening out.
To start, I ordered the mushroom soup, which was rich and creamy with a depth of flavor that had me savoring every spoonful. It was the perfect appetizer to set the tone for the meal.
For my main course, I couldn't resist trying the shrimp and grits. It was simply divine! The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the grits were incredibly creamy and seasoned just right. Every bite was a harmonious blend of flavors that left me wanting more.
To top it all off, I paired my meal with a lovely glass of red wine. The selection was impressive, and the wine complemented the dishes beautifully, enhancing the entire dining experience.
Overall, Cured exceeded my expectations with its delicious food, excellent service, and wonderful atmosphere. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!
As a side note, I am peshatarian and the mushroom soup is vegetarian and was absolutely out of this world.
