It was a good restaurant, I liked the atmosphere and they time the food really well. However, I got a medium rare bone in ribeye that was $70 and it was thin and overcooked. The flavor was still ok but not $70 worth in my opinion. My husband and father got the crab cakes and those were really good.

Great food menu with nice variety of seasonal offerings. Outstandoing drink menu. Service by Christian was top notch the entire evening. Three of us got the 8oz filet mignon but asked for three different degrees of doneness. All three were done to exact requested level. Fourth person got the crabcake which been rated disappointing in other reviews. Glad they did because they were very pleased as well.

Fantastic birthday dinner and drinks from start to finish, and service was impeccable. Special shoutout to manager Bryan who was terrific and took great care of us.

First of all our server, Julie was fantastic. She was pleasant and seemed to anticipate our questions before we even asked them. On to the food. We ordered the whipped ricotta to share and it was delicious. Three of our party ordered the blackberry salad. It was definitely a generous portion, in fact we could have just ordered one and split it. The arugula was extremely peppery! So much so that it overwhelmed the other flavors. I have eaten arugula many, many times and it has never had that strong of a flavor. For entrees, my husband and daughter ordered steaks. She ordered hers medium rare and it was definitely overcooked. I had the rockfish which was tasty but it came with a pile of fennel with some hot peppers basically like a slaw. I am not a fan of spicy and I could not eat it. Again, I've had fennel before and it is usually used as a garnish atop the protein or in a salad not just a bunch of it as a side. There was no mention of hot peppers in the description on the menu either. It totally missed the mark. Desserts were delicious! Overall it was good but room for improvement on some things or at least a more accurate description on the menu.

Honestly, the food was just mediocre for the price, and I probably wouldn't rush to return. Our service, and especially our server Christian, was terrific and super attentive. When I saw jumbo lump crabcakes on the menu, I was super excited and highly considered ordering. However, when two people at my table ordered, I opted for the 14-oz. The New York strip steak was delicious, cooked to the correct temperature, and presented nicely with fingerling potatoes, asparagus, and a cup of CS steak sauce. As for the crabcakes, you should be ashamed of yourselves. This is Maryland, and anytime I see jumbo lump, I'm usually all in. The crab was backfin meat at best, and compared to what I see for crabcakes in other Baltimore-area and Maryland restaurants that are top-rated for crabcakes, yours didn't come close, both in size and lump meat. It just wasn't there. Our friend, whom we brought for his birthday dinner, was also very disappointed. He had been to the restaurant six times and was eager for us to experience it with him. However, the menu completely changed since he was last there, and the soup, fish, and chips he had raved about were no longer on the menu, and he, too, was disappointed. Lastly, the bread. I have no problem paying for a basket of delicious bread, and though the bread was good, it wasn't $5 good.

The food at Copper Shark was excellent. I had the chicken and it was moist and tasty. My friend has the wild boar ragu and it was as good as what we had in Italy. However, we did have to wait an extraordinarily long time for our food. Our entre dining experience was 3 and half hours so plan accordingly. This was a Saturday but we did go early around 5. I still would give it a try.

We live in the neighborhood and have been here many times. Great food, excellent cocktails. However, I have had celiac disease for over 35 years. Had to learn to navigate menus well before any labels. Many newly diagnosed would not eat where the menu was not clearly labeled for the top food allergens. Just returned from Ireland and every single restaurant had labels on the menu. Same in Australia and New Zealand. The USA is so far behind. Yes, the server was knowledgeable and went and got a list after asking about allergies. Labeled menus would be much more helpful. Have only seen that very intermittently in the USA. At least several other Baltimore restaurants have done it.

Usually have a great experience here but this time was terrible. They were slow and obviously trying to close early. They were vacuuming during our entire meal and even turned off the music shortly after we received our entrees. The waiter never came back to check in on any of the food or ask us if we wanted another round of drinks. I ended up getting up and going to the bar myself to get us another round only to be told that the bar was closed and the last call was 20 minutes ago. After explaining the situation I was offered beer or wine and took our drinks back to our table. Overall it seemed that no one working last night wanted to be there at all.

Another excellent dinner at Copper Shark. This time on a Tuesday night...super quiet. Food was excellent. They are preparing for their summer menu so the menu was abbreviated but we still had many dishes to choose from. Tuesdays are half priced wine so I took advantage of the special. Really believe this place is a gem in Locust Point.
This was my 2nd visit- the food is very good although on most recent visit my companion was disappointed in the carpaccio salad. Perhaps personal preference (the presentation was very nice), just not what was expected. Overall, great atmosphere, good quality food and appropriately priced.

Kyle was our server and was fantastic with recommendations and answering any questions we had about the menu and our food was fantastic! We split the cinnamon bun swirl donuts and the burrata which both tasted amazing. I had the smoked salmon frittata and it was delicious! I also ordered the chocolate hazelnut bread pudding to take home and that was fantastic! Will definitely be returning another time!
Dan
Every time there is an event here I try and go, Erika, Brian and Rushika always kill it. Service, food, drinks, everything is fantastic.

We made reservations for Mother's Day. The place was so busy, but they continued to bring food out on a regular basis and always with a smile! We started with the brussels sprouts, which were out of this world! The whipped ricotta with fresh herbs was so light and the fresh herbs enhance the flavor. I had the brunch burger, which was so good. The french fries were crisp and very flavorful. We had the waffle, which was fresh and crispy, the salmon Benedict, which my dad said was some of the best salmon that he has ever tasted. My daughter had the shrimp and grits and enjoy the large shrimp with plenty of grits and tomato sauce. We live in Pennsylvania, but will keep that on our list when we come to visit my daughter who goes to college nearby.

This was such an amazing experience. All of the food was absolutely amazing. Our server Tina and the other team members were very accommodating and flexible. I would give this place a 10/10z
