“Marta manages to be both lively and cozy simultaneously in a rowhouse that previously housed Salt (one of my all time favorite upscale restaurants) We went for a friend's birthday, and all 3 courses were delicious, beautifully presented, inventive, and not the same old menu that you find everywhere. Very sweet wait staff was super attentive, educated about the food and wine and made great suggestions. Our original wait staff had an emergency and had to leave in the middle of service, but seamlessly another wait person stepped in to covered us. Kudos to the front of house team for handling with such skill and ease. But the food was definitely the star of the show. For me, the standout was the tuna cannoli. I'm not even sure I can do justice to this deliciousness with a crunchy outer "cannoli" shell with a slight hint of sweet surrounding a creamy center of tuna crudi with little dots of avocado cream. And all was covered with a pistachio "dust." The spicy meatballs were delectable nestled in a cloud of creamy spicy ricotta. And the Duck and Foie Gras Panzotti (little triangle ravioli) was creamy, delicious and the perfect combination of delicate tastes. And the Tiramisu Affogato ended the dinner on a delicious note! And for two people with drinks it was really pretty a good deal for the quality if the food, service and location. We will be back! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5“

“I had an emotionlly weird day until Aryel and D gave me the best service! They work well together, as a previous bartender/waitress myself you can spot top tier chemistry! The teamwork makes the dream“

“I've never had a bad meal or a bad time here. I've been here often and enjoy all the food. Jerk chicken is one of my favorite foods, and theirs is on point! The flavor is great, and it's tender and juicy. I got an order of plantains the other day, and they were honestly the best Ive had at a restaurant. I like my plantains a certain way, not cut too thick, not slimy, and a little crisp around the edges... they got it perfectly. Their veggie chunks and curry chickpeas are great, even for the non-vegans. Service is impeccable, and I've always been treated well, with prompt attention. Even when it's busy, the staff maintains great service. The dining area is clean and well decorated, and is great for a solo visit, group trip, or even to host/attend an event. I've done them all. The dining area also serves as a retail space with plenty of books, herbs, incense, etc. It's always a pleasure.“

“Excellent Coconut Shrimp! The sauce was amazing!! I loved the sauce and the shrimp were huge!“

“Friendly and professional service, love the bar!“

“Last night, my wife and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary with dinner at Charleston in Baltimore—and it truly may have been the dining experience of a lifetime. From the moment we arrived, the attention to detail was astounding: perfectly curated ambiance, gracious and attentive service, and a beautifully paced tasting menu. Every dish was a revelation, from the wine pairing thoughtfully selected to complement each course, to the impeccable presentation and exquisite flavors. The staff made the evening feel utterly seamless and special. It was our first visit to Charleston, and it stands out as the perfect place to mark such a milestone. Thank you to everyone—from the kitchen team to our servers—for creating such a memorable, delightful evening. A hearty thank you for making our 20th anniversary absolutely perfect“

“wicked good food. super cozy and nice staff 🔥“

“Cool spot to relax and eat a good meal“

“Food and Service was Excellent.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 Experience I went to Rye Street Tavern tonight for an early birthday dinner with friends and I honestly had such a great time. It felt nice doing something out of the norm on a Monday. The place is beautiful inside and I cannot wait to come back when the weather breaks so I can enjoy the outdoor vibes. The food was delicious overall, but there were two items I did not love. I am the type of customer who will just take it home and make it work. My friends kept encouraging me to send it back if I did not like it and even the waitress gently suggested the same. I kept saying no because I never complain at restaurants, but they talked me into it in the nicest way. The manager came over and was so kind and accommodating. He introduced himself, asked what was wrong, and even then I still kept saying nothing was wrong. I loved how hands-on he was as a manager, clearing plates and helping his team. It stood out to me. They ended up making me something a little custom and it was perfect. I wish I remembered my waitress’s name because she was great and truly delightful. From the atmosphere to the service, everything was wonderful. I highly recommend Rye Street Tavern and I am already looking forward to going back. It is a 10 out of 10 for me.“

“My husband and I stopped by for a drink, and ordered the cream of crab soup, gf fried shrimp, and the honey maple brussel sprouts. Everything was delicious! Special thanks to the bartender, Lee, who was very attentive!“

“I have been to topside before and really loved the ambience of the place. Decided to come back to bring my bf for his bday and I put it was a special occasion; however we canceled the reservation and just went to the bar for a couple drinks and dessert, but they still honored his birthday! They brought out a candle and chocolate that said happy birthday! I was really excited and so was he, I just appreciated that so much for still making his day special!“

“I eat here every time I visit the area.“

“Very nice place ! Very friendly staff! Great food !! Great service!! Highly recommend!!“

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Citron Baltimore while celebrating a friend’s birthday! The owner, Charles, and his wife were incredibly nice and friendly, making us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Their hospitality truly set the tone for a memorable evening. The food was nothing short of amazing—every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was incredible, with a perfect blend of elegance and warmth that made the celebration extra special. Highly recommend this gem of a spot—can’t wait to come back!“

“Had their special rum drink. Quite tasty. 14.00
Then had the chicken liver hash hangover cure. Very very good. Presentation was terrific. Eggs were perfect overeasy
I think it was 16.00 (maube 17.00) drinks and food there are inventive and not sloppy. I had a zekes coffee there too 5.00. More than I wanted to spend, but everything was carefully prepared, like in a super exclusive downtown restaurant. Informal atmosphere. Not pretentious. Spent to much but really enjoyed it“

“Loved the decor and atmosphere as soon as we walked in. Delicious and distinct menu for both food and specialty drinks. The real treat was the wonderful wait staff. Yanna T was our waitress. Not only was she friendly and attentive, but she did a fantastic job with her recommendations and coordinating food timing with members of our party who arrived later. Fantastic dining experience.“

“Very good place. I generally prefer smaller owner operated establishments to big national or international chains. It always feels better to spend your money with them and when the overall experience is as rewarding as it is here it’s extra good!! Props to Spoons, they ace it“

“There are not enough stars in the sky to give this place. Talk about creating fantastic dishes they make such wonderful flavor combinations. They use fresh ingredients it’s very evident in the high quality of food that they provide. The atmosphere is absolutely amazing and the vibes are indescribable. My waiter was Jimmy today I ordered the Halibut after I asked what it was 😂😂😂. He told me it was delicious and one of his favorite fish. The man was spot on it was absolutely amazing how every was seasoned and grilled to beyond perfection. My girlfriend ordered the Chicken Chesapeake it was an absolute hit.I don’t know which one was better but I’d love to have a serving of either one again anytime. Oysters were perfect this place has quickly become a huge place of interest. We both look forward to returning and I will suggest this amazing food to anyone. What great food and a great time.“

“The cheeseburger was fantastic! The bartender was superb for drinks and conversation. Dive bar excellence.“

“This is the third time we have been to this diner. The wings are very good. They have a very inclusive menu which is very helpful with people with allergies. It is also the only place I found an option without having to alter anything in the recipe. I wish they would add a df notation on the menu like they have gf and v. I was so happy to find delicious hummus and cauliflower pita. The bartender was thoroughly looking through their allergy menu (they need an updated one) which was very nice. It is busy there but today we really only had to wait for the check. They also have dairy free milk shakes!“

“I’ve been twice and each time I’ve enjoyed the service. Each staff member greeted me was polite, was prompt and courteous. The food is delicious and a great ambiance overall. I can’t wait to go again!“

“Awesome bar, great beer selection and delicious food“

“Everything from the ambiance, the decor, to the immaculate cocktails, and entrees. They are truly a culinary experience, right in my small quaint neighborhood. Feel so lucky to be so close to them and to share the neighborhood space.“

“Stopped in yesterday for the first time!!! I have never felt more comfortable in a bar before. ..I can not wait to go back!! The owner is a wonderful person and the grilled cheese was one of the best I have ever had. I could go on and on....again I am already planning my next trip!!“

“Brunch was delicious and the sculpture garden was lovely.“

“I just wanted to say what an awesome experience Barracudas and Billy provided for my family. We held a surprise 90th birthday party for my Mom there on Saturday and it was perfect. The food was delicious as usual and the service was phenomenal. Abby did a great job taking care of us. Big shout out to the kitchen staff and everyone else who assisted in making my Mom feel loved and appreciated. I live 2 hours from the restaurant, but I make it a point to stop in almost everytime for food and drinks. Everyone has their own opinion concerning the restaurant and staff. In 10 years I have never had a bad experience here or seen anything out of the ordinary reacting to the staff or ownership. I have seen intoxicated patrons but that's it. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a meal or a drink. You won't be disappointed.“

“Simply put…W O W! The history alone drew me to stop in. The food will keep me coming back! If you haven’t, why? Incredible crabs and a clean, relaxed atmosphere and staff! See y’all again SOON!“

“A tremendous club/restaurant…the cuisine was delicious, the staff able and cordial, the establishment is clean/well run. The strolling violinist and MC were nice touches. The DJ played music that my age demographic can party to. I’m from Detroit….very impressive.“

“I've enjoyed their outstanding menu for over 15yrs.“

“10 out of 10! Great food, amazing service and delicious drinks. Can't wait to go back!“

“Fabulous food & drinks! Can’t say enough how much I enjoy going there. Entertained a large group upstairs last week and everything was awesome! Staff was magnificent too!“

“Great little local down to earth restaurant. The food was superbly prepared with attention to detail. The ingredients were very fresh and cooked to perfection.
The welcoming atmosphere makes it feel like home. We look forward to coming back every few weeks and definitely are interested in coming your way the special dinner events.“

“I have never ate here before until my co-work recommend for lunch and I must say, the chicken and shrimp panini grilled sandwich was absolutely delicious and fixed to perfection, price of sandwich was not bad at all. I would absolutely recommend Jawa's for a great spot for lunch.“

“I love Sharky’s and Jen is AMAZING!!!!! Best bartender in all of Baltimore. My favorite human“

“I love the Delmarva area and am happy to get there even for a minute. I was flying through BWI with my daughter on an early flight. There was a two hour layover and we were both hungry. I knew where to go. I proceeded to the Silver Diner. Concourse B. It was around 8:30am and the place was not extremely busy. I told my daughter we would sit at the bar, although there are a few booths. Sitting at the bar brings a hidden secret. There are electrical outlets and both my daughter and I were able to charge our phones.\n\nThe menu ranged from breakfast to burgers and seafood items were available. I was torn between the sliders, crab cakes and breakfast. The hotess gave me an option I couldnt refuse- a crab omlet. If you know me, french fries are a staple so that's what I ordered. My daughter had the carmel french toast with some sausage.\n\nThe food came out in and was awesome. The omlet was bigger than I expected and came with my fries and a breakfast bisquit that was really great. There actually was crab meat in the omlet and I knew I was on the east coast.\n\nMy daughter loved her breakfast and I loved mine. Service was awesome and not rushed. The hostess allowed us to eat slowly while we watched sports on TV abd charged our phones.\n\nI did forget that eating in airports is not cheap and adding seafood makes it a bit steeper. My omlet was about $26. (I'm not in Wisconsin anymore!)\n\nPlease note: I was here earlier this year and forgot to give a review. I had the baby burgers (you get 4) and a beer. I wanted a milk shake but it wouldnt go with the beer.\n\nThis place is great for all around food, drinks and desserts. It does off a bakery at the entry in case you want some plane snacks.\n\nI WILL RETURN.....“

“Glad I finally tried this place after being recommended a couple times. Went with two coworkers. All our food was really good. The service is what makes me want to go back.
Good breakfast or lunch spot for a quick bite.

Parking: Limited parking but I’ve always gotten a spot.“

“Corn dog and fried chicken are our family's favorites with their amazing fries! Baltimore's only kosher fast food place, and it's great value! Also have Chinese, burgers, Israeli (shawarma and falafel). Parking is tight when it's busy as the lot is shared with Tov Pizza next door

Dietary restrictions: Strictly Kosher“

“Excellent service with great tasting food“

“This place has the best yak!!!!! anyway my wife and i had a General taso, spicy orange chicken and white rice with a side of broccoli and yakimi.This is the best i ever had far as a Chinese or Korean spot no disrespect but yall get the big 5 from me,not bland season perfection at it's best💯💯💯💯“

“Great sushi and great Chinese also at reasonable prices! I've been getting sushi at Sakura for a while but tonight we also got General Tso's and it was really good and the portion was huge! I dont think Sakura gets the street cred in Annapolis that it deserves- Its a cozy spot with great food and great views of downtown! Now I can't wait for our leftovers tomorrow!“

“I love the food it is so Delicious! I give them 10 Stars“

“best wings i tasted so far“

“Grabbed a breakfast sandwich here and wasn't disappointed! Fast service and the sandwich was great. There was also a good variety of beverages in the cooler and other snacks on the shelf. I did have to check other reviewers pictures to find it as it can be easy to just walk by and not notice, don't miss out though!“

“This is a diamond in the rough, but the food is really good. Despite the aesthetic’s husband and I enjoyed the lemonade tea, and their Friday and Saturday special of chicken with fried green banan and cabbage with the sauce. Of course I had to be a big back and get an order or cheese fries….i live in Georgia but I’m from up north and the cheese fries just taste wayyyyy better up north so I had to indulge.“
