Havana Road Cuban Café
8 W. Pennsylvania Ave Towson
www.HavanaRoad.com
Arroz con Pollo, Ropa Vieja and Sweet Plaintains are just a few of the menu items that will have me coming back to Havana Road again and again. Owner and Executive Chef Marta Ines Quintana creates amazing Cuban fare. Her mother, Martha Duenas de Quintana, can be found in the kitchen as well and many of the recipes come directly from her experiences.
Service is friendly and flawless, the small, quaint dining room is welcoming and the BYO policy worked well as the Towson Wine store is adjacent to the restaurant.
We also enjoyed the Camarones Ajilio, Shrimp w/Garlic, served with crispy bread for dipping in the exquisite sauce, it was Cuban heaven. Be sure to leave room for Flan, assorted flavors are offered; we all agreed it was the best Flan we have ever had. The Coconut Flan had the consistency of a light cheesecake and was so perfect that we ordered an extra piece to go.
The food prepared at Havana Road is made from the heart, has the perfect amount of spice and much of the menu is from treasured family recipes; we just have to be grateful, Baltimore, that they are sharing these dishes with us. Check out their web site for daily specials www.HavanaRoad.com.

Roy's Restaurant: Hawaiian Fusion Cuisine
410-659-0099
Roy's, located at 720 B Aliceanna Street in Downtown Baltimore, is one of my favorites. Chef Roy Yamaguchi founded Roy's Restaurants: there are now 30 throughout the United States, Japan and Guam. In addition, Yamaguchi hosted six seasons of a PBS Cooking Show shown on 300 stations across the United States. Roy's latest cookbook, "Roy's Fish and Seafood," is a perfect gift for any seafood lover. Yamaguchi's Hawaiian Fusion cuisine has won him the prestigious James Beard "Best Pacific Northwest Chef" award.  
Bryson Keens, Managing Partner, runs the Baltimore operations and Opie Crooks, Executive Chef Partner, works his magic in the kitchen, creating amazing, memorable dishes. When you visit Roy's you can't go wrong ordering any of the fresh seafood entrees that combine bold Asian spices and European sauces.
Begin your meal with the Crisped Lobster Potstickers, you may need two orders to share, as they are incredibly delicious.  My son declared Roy's Wood Grilled Szechuan Spiced Baby Back Pork Ribs the "best he has ever had." My Blackened Ahi Tuna was fresh and so beautufully presented it was a masterpiece on the plate. The signature Hawaiian Martini, featuring SKYY Vodka, Stoli Vanil and Malibu Coconut Rum infused with fresh pineapple, makes every visit to Roy's  
worthwhile. Don't forget to order the Melting Hot Chocolate Souffle' when you order your dinner as it takes time to create something that is that close to chocolate heaven. Make your reservations, treat someone special to an evening in "the  islands"... right in Downtown Baltimore.
