About the restaurant

**Our menu currently features a six course Chef's menu only.**

Our six course Chef's menu at Tersiguel's is a combination of authentic French-style cooking and rustic country fare reminiscent of cuisine found in Tersiguel's original home of Brittany, France. Tersiguel's cuisine is reflective of the seasons, with a garden that produces lettuces, herbs, vegetables, fruits and edible flowers. Tersiguel's is quintessential French Country "from the farm to your plate" cooking. Chef Tersiguel describes his food as "French soul food". The Tersiguel family has operated one of the regions best restaurants for over 45 years and continues this tradition with annual ratings of "Best French Restaurant" from the Zagat and Baltimore Magazine.

This is a fabulous place! The service is excellent, and the food is exceptional! This establishment is very allergy friendly. They can make most of their dishes gluten-free! We live five hours away, but we will plan a trip here quarterly to enjoy their seasonal menu!

A special place for a special time. My wife and I celebrated 40 years together. The dinner was an event in itself, with six courses of excellently prepared food and wonderful drinks. They even provided us with a personalized menu. The building is unique, historical and tasteful. Highly recommend.

Really lovely spot, definitely one of the most thoughtful menus we’ve seen in a long time. The cocktails alone are worth the trip. We enjoyed the jazz-focused menus infused with Baltimore history, which the bar manager created herself. Our hostess Leyla and the bar manager really went out of the way to ensure we had a great experience. The staff had some delays, which happens, but they handled them well. The staff truly anticipated our every need to ensure the delays were rectified quickly. Our waitress handled things better towards the end of our meal too. We hope to be back! Thank you.

Columbia

About the restaurant

18th & 21st brings something fresh and classic to Columbia, Maryland. Named after the Constitutional Amendment that enacted Prohibition and then subsequent Amendment that repealed it, 18th & 21st promises to bring back a bygone era through an elevated, tailored evening experience. Our food and cocktails reflect the feel of prohibition supper clubs. This not to say we're stuck in the past, but rather that we try and emulate the style of that era. That means beautiful presentation, careful crafting, and perfect pairings to keep your night on beat. Combined with live music, this creates an unparalleled experience for the discerning and adventurous looking for a sophisticated evening. Due to the nature of the experience at 18th & 21st we request that all diners be over the age of eighteen.

Second time coming here. Good was terrific, and service was great excellent. Only downside was we showed up a few minutes before the band took a somewhat long break. Other than that, another great experience.
