Date Night Spot Of The Week

One Eleven Main

📍 111 S Main St, Bel Air
oneelevenbelair.com

If you’re looking to impress (or just escape your usual routine), One Eleven Main on Main Street is the kind of spot that makes dinner feel like an occasion. Intimate lighting, locally sourced ingredients, and a chef who clearly knows what they’re doing — this place hits all the right notes… One recent guest called it a “must-visit culinary gem,” raving about the warm, attentive service and standout dishes like the crispy soft shell crab and snakehead special. The cocktails? Also next level. The Garden Gimlet was “fresh and herbaceous,” while the Café Old Fashioned gave a bold twist to the classic.

Pro tip: Start with the charcuterie board and mussels. They’re both beautifully done, and the mussel broth is apparently addictive.

Want a deal? Come midweek for their Dinner Special — 2 courses for $50 or 3 for $58, plus half-price bottles of wine. Thursdays are Plate & Bottle Night, with select entrées and wines for just $25.

Reservations are smart (especially on weekends)… Afterward, walk it off with a sunset stroll on the Ma & Pa Trail — or just linger over dessert. Either way, this spot’s got all the ingredients for a great night.
