The Lodge Annapolis

These four restaurants are under the same ownership and feature farm-to-table dishes with fresh ingredients. Each of the spaces can accommodate private parties. The Blackwall Barn & Lodge can hold up to 175 people. The Lodge Annapolis and The Farmhouse Gambrills have private rooms that can hold up to 40 people.

All four restaurants are currently fully booked for Thanksgiving, but reservations will open shortly for Christmas and New Year’s. Spots tend to book up fast, especially at the Barn & Lodge, so folks should make their reservations soon.

The restaurants also offer a to-go option for Christmas and New Year’s — it is perfect for the group that doesn’t want the hassle of cooking but doesn’t want to dine out. For $90, it is a three-course meal for two. That meal includes two Caesar salads, two 10-ounce prime rib entrees served with Tuscan potatoes and farmhouse vegetables, and two slices of white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. Meals are available to order online and then pick up in the store the day before the holiday, and then easily reheat.

Lastly, Titan Hospitality now has its guest favorite short ribs available for sale in prepackaged gift boxes. This is the top menu item at all four restaurants, now available with two short ribs for $22 and four for $40. They are fully cooked and then cryovaced, so people only need to heat them in boiling water, open the bag and serve. Short ribs are offered with farmhouse veggies as a hearty meal — easy to take home and with a slow-cooked flavor guests love.

Whether you could use a helping hand with your holiday meal or you are looking for a spacious restaurant to host your gathering, these spots are sharing their services to make your event special.
