The Elkridge Furnace Inn made Open Table's 2012 Diners' Choice Award winners for the 100 most romantic restaurants in the U.S, the only Md. restaurant to make this year's list.
The Elkridge Furnace Inn has since 1998 been in the hands of Daniel Welker, who is also the restaurant's executive chef. The restaurant is part of a 16-acre complex on the Patapsco. The handsomely restored interior rooms are a particular treat for fans of colonial architecture.
The restaurant is accepting reservations throughout Valentine's Day weekend and is offering a fixed-price menu — three courses for $65; $75 for four courses — on Feb. 14.
Open Table "awards" reflect the combined opinions of nearly 5 million reviews submitted by verified Open Table diners for more than 12,000 restaurants in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, according to the online restaurant-reservation resource.
