点评:My wife and I dined at 7556 Main Street after I read reviews on Trip Advisor. We don't live near Sykesville, MD but were there for a few days watching our daughter's house. I thought the restaurant was new as there only were eight reviews on Trip Advisor, seven of them Excellent. We were surprised to learn that they have been in business for several years, and I assume the paucity of reviews is because most of their patrons are local and not travelers.
In any case, the food was fantastic. My wife started with a garden salad and I with the creamy French onion soup. The salad was straight-from-the-garden fresh. The creamy French onion soup was far from the usual restaurant version laden with bread soaking in bullion and covered with a slab of cheese. Instead, melted cheese on french bread slices were placed on top of a creamy onion base, and it was great.
For entrees, my wife had what she called the best crabcake ever, a large cake almost entirely of fresh crabmeat, very little filler, and fresh vegetables. I had meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Meatloaf might seem like a strange choice in a good restaurant, but it is one of those foods that most places screw up completely. The consistency of this meatloaf was perfect. It was light to the fork and moist; it didn't crumble. And the flavor was perfect. it tasted like high-quality beef, not like meat-product with filler as in most places. It was slightly crusty on top, as a good meatloaf should be. It may have been the best meatloaf I have ever had anywhere.
We didn't have room for dessert, unfortunately. But maybe next time we will. And there definitely will be a next time. We are going to reserve a table for us, our daughter and her husband for their anniversary later this month. This place is in a small town but well worth a slight detour from Routes I-70, 97 or 32.
翻译:我和妻子在阅读了 Trip Advisor 上的评论后,来到了 7556 Main Street 餐厅用餐。我们住的地方离马里兰州 Sykesville 不近,但在那里待了几天,照看女儿的房子。我以为这家餐厅是新开的,因为 Trip Advisor 上只有八条评论,其中七条都说非常好。我们很惊讶地得知,这家餐厅已经营业好几年了,我猜评论稀少是因为大多数顾客都是当地人,而不是旅行者。
无论如何,食物都很棒。我妻子先吃了田园沙拉,我吃了奶油法式洋葱汤。沙拉是直接从花园里采摘的新鲜沙拉。奶油法式洋葱汤与通常的餐厅版本完全不同,通常餐厅的版本是将面包浸泡在汤汁中,上面铺上一块奶酪。相反,法式面包片上的融化奶酪放在奶油洋葱底上,味道很棒。
至于主菜,我妻子点了她认为最棒的蟹饼,一个大蛋糕,几乎全是新鲜蟹肉,只有很少的馅料和新鲜蔬菜。我点了肉饼和土豆泥。肉饼在一家好餐馆里可能看起来是个奇怪的选择,但它是大多数地方完全搞砸的食物之一。这个肉饼的稠度很完美。叉子轻盈湿润;它没有碎裂。味道也很好。它尝起来像高品质的牛肉,而不是像大多数地方的带馅料的肉制品。它的顶部有点脆,就像好的肉饼应该的那样。这可能是我吃过的最好的肉饼。
不幸的是,我们没有空间吃甜点了。但也许下次我们会吃。而且肯定会有下一次。我们将为我们、我们的女儿和她的丈夫预订一张桌子,庆祝他们本月晚些时候的结婚纪念日。这个地方在一个小镇上,但值得从 I-70、97 或 32 号公路稍微绕道而行。
