The Comus Inn Description:
The rebirth of this Maryland institution is a welcome one, with an owner-manager that has put a lot of thought, to say nothing of money, into revamping the menu and the setting---it will once again become a major dining destination. No detail is overlooked: you'll find a fully staffed kitchen with impeccable credentials, outstanding ideas, and a bravura display of food. Take the Sunday brunch, which here trumps all competition with its lavish display of meats at the carving station, sweet breads and muffins as tiny as thimbles, egg dishes, blintzes with hot strawberry sauce, and a dessert table festooned with enough calories and sweet treats to keep folks happy for the coming year. Lunch beckons with The Sugarloaf Burger and the Virginia ham with Brie sandwich. If daytime hours elude you, content yourself with the fabulous pre-set dinner: three-, four-, or five-course meals that measure up to anything done in DC. The menu changes seasonally, but you may find curried winter oysters in Champagne; scallops seared with baby beets and served with a Parmesan custard; or butter-poached, five-spice lobster. All very elegant! But the whole meal is eclipsed by the extraordinary vistas: rolling Maryland farmland with the Sugarloaf Mountains as a backdrop. Pick a clear day to visit and you may spend hours contemplating nature.
