Negative 10 for atmosphere . I was not impressed. Cold feeling , overly bright , lousy bar . No wonder they closed .

Plenty of restaurants do well in that zip code and surrounding area but you can’t expect to put up a sign and expect success .

I feel bad for the wait staff hopefully a different operator will make a difference

WOW!! I am BLOWN away by the service I received tonight!! Ricky, Lisa, and Dennis were soo incredibly kind and attentive. I recognized Ricky and Dennis from another location (I am an absolute Medium Rare fiend!) and they were so fun to catch up and chat with. This location is perfect, the ambiance is very inviting and it’s beautifully lit, clean, and cozy! I had an amazing meal surrounded with great energy, will definitely be back soon. Thank you guys for such an enjoyable experience!!!!

This place is amazing!! The service alone is want had us in a chokehold. Dennis and Dee Dee were amazing. It was our first time and they made us feel like we had the whole restaurant to ourselves!
The drinks are phenomenal, food is tasty and the dessert is delicious!
I would definitely recommend to all my friends and family.
If you come ask for Dennis and if he’s unavailable ask for Dee Dee.

Definitely love this place
Rachel is an awesome bartender, I even got drink named after me.
The guy who made my steak did it perfectly. Always a vibe at Rotunda!

Concept is simple - fixed menu : bread , salad , steak frites. Portion is small but they do include a second serving and a third for a fee. Service was lacking (our main server was great but food runner asked me to ‘trade plates’) and the ambiance is worse. If you want to have an open kitchen - make the kitchen nice. Solid meh

The highlight of our evening was our waiter, Brandon. He made my wife and I feel so comfortable, it was like we were family! He was attentive and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The steak frites is delicious and plentiful and we LOVED that you get a second serving. The chocolate cake for dessert was really fabulous.

We come to Baltimore often and heard from friends that the brunch is also great so we will be back! I hope Brandon will wait on us again!

One of the better "set-rate" restaurants at the price point. Nice atmosphere, find friendly and please don't whine about the portions when, again at this price point, you get a nice atmosphere, service and quality food. Nice midday stop for the fam while you're out!!! Ask for Brandon as a server, he's good fr!

Kid-friendliness: Not too much for kids specifically but given the menu they tried, that's worth a mention.

I visited the restaurant with a friend for brunch and I love the location (the rotunda), the atmosphere was clean & welcoming, and i loved the musical selections. The waitstaff was attentive, informative, and personable. That said, the brunch was nothing to rave about. The steak, eggs, and fries was a SMALL portion though the steak was AMAZING. The French toast tasted like they used old grease and it was layered with eggs which was odd, not to mention they didn't have the sausage it was supposed to come with and the only substitute offered was fruit, side salad, or fries. I opted for fries because I love them but they also didn't taste great. Now that said, it's two courses for $35 ( app and meal with unlimited 3 option adult beverages) so I guess we really paid to drink. I honestly won't go back but maybe you'll have a different and I hope better food experience.

Was referred here and was sincerely disappointed. Took 35+ minutes for our food (maybe because they just opened?) to come & we were the only one’s there. It was just not good. Neither of us liked it. The young lady taking care of us was honestly the best part. She was very attentive & kind. The coffee wasn’t even good! Wasted a drive all the way into the city. Will not visit any of their locations in the future. It was that bad, unfortunately.

We went about 80 minutes before they closed, so that may be why our experience felt so lackluster. Our waitress was nice, but the drinks were awful. We ordered them with extra sweeteners as we do at places we've never been to. They were still bitter and flavorless. The steak itself isn't that high quality but was prepared to the perfect temp for both of us. We didn't think it had any real flavor, though. The seconds concept was interesting, though we would just prefer all of our food at once. The atmosphere was a solid 1 as the employees looked ready to go (which I understand, but we didn't come that late and left 20 minutes before their actual close time)...We won't be visiting again.

Went there for brunch. Pretty much had the entire place to ourselves(host said it rarely gets crowded for brunch). For around $40 you get bread, a starter(salad, fruit or yogurt parfait), a brunch meal, and bottomless mimosas/bloody marys/screw drivers, it's a hard deal to beat. The drinks and food were both great, and our host gave us excellent service!

Probably the least enjoyable meal I’ve ever had ordering out… the reviews have to be kidding me. My food tastes old and the sauce was the only thing good about the meal. Drinks were terrible as well. Ruined my Mother’s Day Brunch Outing. Wouldn’t go again.

The staff seemed to go out of their way to drain every bit of joy from this experience. They appeared to be under staffed and barely holding it together. Couldn't wait to leave. Steak was good + seconds?. Unfortunately just bad vibes all around.
