foraged. a hyper-seasonal eatery

Updated Nov 2025: Updating since we've been there several more times since our original review.

This is one of our favorite restaurants in Baltimore. It's the perfect combination of creative and delicious dishes, great wine and other drink pairings, and a really unpretentious and welcoming environment and staff. We've done the Chef's table a few times and it's a consistently fantastic experience. You get plenty to eat and drink and it's all wonderfully put together.

Original Review:
Had the tasting menu. Great variety of creative and perfectly constructed dishes. Outstanding drink pairing. We are looking forward to coming back.

Just as good as we remembered. Amazing! Last time we went, they were still in the old location. Service: 100. Food: 100
We both did the 3 course prix fixe and I added the wine pairing for myself. Yes! Loved not having to pick wine(s). Next time I plan to do the 5 course meal with wine pairing.
Highly recommend.

I’ve eaten here twice and I was disappointed the second time. My partner and I thought the bread with honeynut squash butter, turnip risotto, and lumache were very salty. The risotto was especially off-putting because it was crunchy (made with some type of grain instead of rice) and buttery. Not sure if this was a one-off situation, but neither of us enjoyed our second courses and left the restaurant feeling a little sour. On the other hand, the carrot salad and veggie crab cake were amazing (the crab cake is strong but I like that it’s punchy). I would still recommend but you might want to proceed with some caution!

Food was excellent

Portion sizes didn't overwhelm me but I am a little bit hungrier than most.

Bartender was delightful.

Soundtrack was great too - I think I heard some instrumental Tribe Called Quest

Our group of 7 friends walked into 'foraged' without a reservation. They were super professional and busy AND they still took the time to see if we could fit at the bar together! We had the most lovely meal ever – pork tenderloin, dishes, catfish, and scallops galore! Our exquisitely made drinks, by Mike, were made with flare! He even made me a bespoke cocktail (when I shared that I was a when I shared that I was a bourbon fan and liked orange juice) and named it after me! The servers were kind and took the time to explain several menu items to us so we would make sure to make the best choices. Our desserts were to die for! We tried the peach cobbler and the apple strudel--YUMMMM. We loved all the decor--the dark walls and the mushrooms everywhere! Don't miss this restaurant in a fun section of Baltimore!

Our group was treated like royalty!! Food was the best i’ve ever had (i’m 62)!! The catfish with Brussels sprouts was heaven! And i tried bites of the scallops: delicious, kale salad, pork. All subtle and tasty. Truly a treat. The bartender made personalized cocktails for my friends. “A true artist” as one of the other customers noted. The mocktails were just as good!! And the deserts!!! Yum!!! Overall, a wonderful experience, good vibe.
We all felt taken care of and embraced after a long day of attending our conference and dancing for democracy. Go B More!!!

Foraged. A Hyper-Seasonal Eatery was fantastic. Cozy, modern vibe with a relaxed, welcoming feel. The dishes were creative, fresh, and packed with seasonal flavors — every bite felt thoughtful and unique. Service was friendly and attentive. Perfect spot for a special meal that feels both casual and elevated.

We wanted to love this place, and we did, kind of. The service was delightful and informative but felt very busy and overwhelming.

We did the 5 course and wine pairing. I wish we would have just skipped the wine, and all of the food looked beautiful and was described in mouthwatering way.. but everything EVERYTHING. Was so salty. We love flavor, but it was really shocking.

We made our concerns known, and the food continued to be over salted and smaller portioned than anticipated.

We hope it was a fluke.
