Howard County's Best Restaurants

Here's my personal list of best restaurants in Howard County. They're listed by location, in no particular order, but all 10 are very good. If we're in the mood for a nice meal or taking out guests, we're likely heading to one of these. If you haven't tried them all, you should!

Cafe de Paris, Columbia

Aida Bistro and Wine Bar, Columbia
