BALTIMORE — An upscale restaurant with locations in Gambrills and Columbia will soon open a third site at The Rotunda shopping center in Hampden.

Titan Hospitality Group signed a lease Nov. 20 to open The Barn & Lodge. It's expected to open later in 2024 and is based on the Blackwall Barn & Lodge concept, said a representative for Titan Hospitality Group.

It would be located in the "power plant" building - a smaller, free-standing building that's near Warehouse Cinemas (former CineBistro).

Erik Ylitalo, vice-president of leasing for MCB Real Estate, said in a statement:

MCB Real Estate was very selective in curating the right restaurant for this unique and high-profile centerpiece building within The Rotunda mixed-use project. We wanted something that will serve the community for every day and every special day of the week. Family sit down dinners, special occasion events , happy hours and business functions are the types of special dining experiences we are bringing to the Rotunda.

It would be the latest sit-down restaurant at The Rotunda, after DC-area chain Medium Rare opened earlier this month.

Blackwall Barn & Lodge has an event space, as well as a menu featuring elegant options like duck ragu, braised lamb shank, Black Angus prime rib, and shrimp & grits; they also have a gluten-free and vegan menu.

The restaurant also just opened in downtown Columbia; its first location was in Gambrills.

It's run by Titan Hospitality Group, which also manages Blackwall Hitch (in Alexandria, Va., and Annapolis) and Smashing Grapes (in Gambrills and opening soon in Columbia).
