Reply to Eggspectations by hymie0

The location in Owings Mills is staying as Eggspectations.

My understanding is that the owners of the Ellicott City one was tired of paying the franchise fees, so broke away from Eggspectations. Have heard, but cannot confirm, a very heavy breakfast-focused menu as opposed to the extensive, all-day, menu that was there. If true, pretty disappointing to me, but I look forward to seeing what they have when they open.

This is THE answer.

Pitamore makes the best falafel I've ever had. Hands down.

I started going here when it was Cilantro and in Owings Mills. Then they moved downtown and closed OM and I was heartbroken. Now, everytime I'm downtown, I go for lunch. It's sooooooooo good.

That close to 95 and wanting to live in Columbia, you're likely best off on 95 anyway. In which case, a neighborhood with easy access to 95 is ideal. Kings Contrivance is split in the middle by 32, only about two miles from 95, and is a wonderful neighborhood. If you're interested in outside of Columbia, there are a lot of nice places in the Elkridge area, also right off 95.

Depends on where in HoCo/Columbia and where in Harford County.

695 and 95 are going to be challenging for any commute, especially for this distance. If you have backroads available, you can likely make this work and get a nice scenic, low stress, commute on your books.

Not at all.

The location, and view over the Harbor, is outstanding.

The food is good. Not outstanding, not excellent, but it is good. It is overpriced, but you're paying for the food plus the service plus the view, etc.

I will say that my wife and I had a pretty awful experience there once (Valentine's Day, they were understaffed and we had a busboy as our server who was trying hard but just failed at everything) but when I called the next day, the manager absolutely made it right. I very much admire that ... admit when you messed up and make it right, and they did.
