Unfortunately I can't give a review because Sputnik closed in 12/2007(?). It has been replaced by Lures Bar & Grille and been totally renovated. With due respect to the people who ran Sputnik and it's fans, Lures appears to be a great place as well. I'm sorry I never got to check out Sputnik, but at least it wasn't replaced by a Starbucks or something. 5 Stars for what it should have been.

This place has changed hands and is now called the Purple Poppy. It underwent a TOTAL rehab on the inside. It is very well done. I visited today for the first time for lunch. Lunch was great. Staff is very friendly and the food was great. This is a much needed establishment for Crownsville. It is going to give the Ram's Head some competition.
