The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great! The staff was very hospitable and provided great service and recommendations for dinner. The crab cake was amazing along with the raw oysters and bread pudding for dessert.

It was fine - probably had been overhyped. Service was great. My lobster tail was overcooked (yes, I know I should not order lobster outside of New England, but I miss it). All the food was good, but nothing spectacular. Scallops over seasoned. Not bad, but there are definitely better restaurants in the city for that price point.

Went back to Baltimore since moving away. Went to Thames because we heard it was the best place to go in Fells Point. It was amazing. Our group shared and tried just about everything on the menu from Appetizers, Mains, and Desserts, including the Raw Oysters. We loved everything that they offered. It was quite busy but we were taken care of like we were the only ones in the restaurant. Teresa was just wonderful and knew the menu inside and out. She was such a Sweet Heart. If you get lucky enough to have her when you go there, your visit will be fabulous. We can't wait to return from Georgia and this will be a must visit restaurant for us.

Nice place for oyster lover, and one of the best crab cakes I have ever had. Visited in mid Jan and they have a great selection of oysters. My friend enjoyed the different flavor profile of oysters. Clams are great option for people less into oyster.Also ordered the crispy point Judith Calamari, New England lobster roll, and cast iron crab cake.My favorite about these dishes is the crab cake, it was nicely seared which added the great texture and crunch, but it is juicy and meaty inside. At the time I had it, it was served with potato and sweet potato puree on the side. Decently big portion. The sauce is rich and creamy with some tagines which pairs well with the crab cake.The Lobster roll is alright, the but is very buttery which can get a be heavy, the lobster roll is served warm, the lobster meat is simple but good quality. It was served with fires sprinkled with old bay.The crispy point Judith Calamari was a bit disappointing; it was nice that it is seasoned with minced pepper which added some heat. However, this dish is very heavy and oily, especially when oil collect at the bottom of the plate.

Absolutely incredible seafood and oysters (shocking for Baltimore I know). Easily some of the best seafood I have had with only a few places in Charleston, SC getting to the same league. Was so good that even with my limited time in Baltimore I decided to go back twice! They also have a great drink selection with interesting cocktails. I had some really good food in the city while I was there but this was the highlight, potentially would visit just to go back here again.Definitely make reservations if possible as it was busy every time I walked by. That being said I was able to get a seat at the bar so it's possible without one.

Great and beyond exceptional place to dine. Great atmosphere. We arrived on a Sunday evening with no reservations and were told it would be an hour in which we agreed to wait. Within about 20-25 min we were notified and seated upstairs. We were quickly shown the drink and dinner menu and the waitress was extremely knowledgeable of the various oysters from the raw bar menu and noted several local recommendations. All the choices given were spot on, extremely fresh, and amazing. The lobster roll was the best I have ever experienced and my wife’s monkfish and house made gnocchi was unlike any we had ever tasted. To cap off the meal, the bread pudding was phenomenal. Not overly sweet, but just perfect. I can’t say enough of how every course continued to exceed expectations. This was one of the best restaurants we have ever dined at. From the friendly hostess, great waitress, and out of this world menu, five stars is not enough.

Very tasty, fresh, clean oysters. I believe we also ordered a round of the clams. The apricot prosecco was fun! Love the establishment and the view of the harbor.
