Last month we were invited to a preview night at one of Baltimore's newest restaurants, Kettle Hill.
The beautiful wood floors and the tufted leather banquettes created a rich and inviting feel.
"Traditional American dining in the spirit of Teddy Roosevelt & the Rough Riders when America was grounded in quality, community and social elegance"
We made a beeline to the Saddle Bar for drinks before dinner. The copper bar was stunning and I loved the little details like the horseshoe handbag hooks.
Kettle Hill makes their own ice in various shapes and textures which is geared to each cocktail.
To start we sampled a slew of different sides...Andouille Bread Pudding, Fried Green Tomatoes, Oysters, Clams.
They also brought out the Charcuterie Sampler.
I had the lamb burger and the table's favorite was without a doubt the Bison Steak.
I don't know if I was more impressed with the desserts or the wait staff's stylish uniforms.
Not only did I get to try this amazing new restaurant, I also finally got to meet Nelle from Stone Hill Farm. She was so sweet and even surprised us with an engagement toast after dinner.
Special thanks to Mr. & Mrs. P for such a fabulous evening and Nelle for being even more fun than I imagined! xx

Did you watch Million Dollar Decorators? It's coming back for a 2nd Season. The show follows LA
designers Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Kathryn Ireland, Jeffrey Alan Marks and Mary
McDonald. Martyn Lawrence Bullard happens to be my favorite designer on the show. He has such a sassy
attitude and a wonderful eye. These were a few of the items from the Tastemaker Tag Sale he curated on One Kings Lane. Next on my to-do list is to find a silver toast rack to hold mail. My mom has had one on her desk for as long as I can remember.
I simply adore the American flag and I am constantly inspired by my surroundings. I love wearing anything with ruffles. I have a special place in my heart for animals and the water. I cherish photography and sculpture. I believe in fate. Summer is my favorite time of year. I like smelling cinnamon buns. I can’t live without back-rubs, online shopping, heating blankets, pink nail polish, plaid and hydrangeas. I get excited before a storm. There should be more random acts of kindness. I love antiques and decorating. I mostly wear flats. Anything seersucker is adorable. I will never get sick of eating tomato mozzarella. The best thing about the beach is outdoor showers and eating candy. All pools should be heated. -EAS
