Dining at the Orchard Landing Restaurant in Towson is much like eating in a very hip, contemporary grandmother?s house.

It?s not the place for families to take rambunctious kids, but the dining room?s sophisticated interior is perfect for impressing your date. Billowed beige curtains line the walls instead of dated wallpaper. Booths are lined in rich flowered upholstery. Votives in patterned candleholders allow soft light to dance on the tables.
