The salmon and grits were amazing! Ivan the owner is a world class chef and owner! It is a must when in Baltimore!

Food was amazing, & nice, friendly service. Crab cakes, mashed potatoes and asparagus were all seasoned well and cooked with love. Pasta looked delicious and full of flavor. I will be back, the hard part is not ordering the same thing but I need to explore the menu. You can’t go wrong here, you won’t regret it.

Very disappointing experience ordering take-out.Ordered shrimp stuffed burger and salmon with grits.As one can see from the picture, the fries were burned so badly they were not edible. The burger bun was disproportionate. There was a small charred bun top and the bottom bun was very thin and much larger in comparison to the top bun. It looked as if someone threw the burger together with little to no regard. Also not sure if two pieces of shrimp qualify as a shrimp stuffed burger. It made the burger difficult to eat by not having a well constructed/ decent bun to start with. All that aside, the flavor of the meat was good. I really did not enjoy my full meal because the fries were terribly burned. I don't understand how it was acceptable to sale food in that condition. It's really unfortunate how the staff allowed food to be sold in such condition. It really subtracts from the perceived pleasantness of the host.I wish my experience were different given how many positive reviews there are for this establishment.

Food is on point "AMAZING"!!!! I do have a favorite dish, however I won't share. Just being selfish.

Good service great food and even more room for growth. Be patient as there is not a full service staff but the service given is great! Ordered the wings and truffle fries to start. Wings were ok the fries great. There were some oddly built chickens and loads of crunch that wasn't connected to any meat. The shrimp and grits were good and was told the special was good as well shrimp & salmon pasta. Definitely would go back or order for delivery. Seating is limited and the bar has wine primarily by the glass but mention bottle options on the menu.

This spot is the definition of don't judge a book by its cover! It's in a corner rowhouse, very unassuming from the outside with a small sign. The inside is very basic - very little decor or upkeep but ignore all of that because the food is what you're there for.Our group got a bunch of things to share and everything was so tasty! Their star is definitely the wings though. I'm not even a wing person and they were absolutely delicious (the chili glaze was so tasty). The chicken and waffles and the crab cake sliders were so flavorful and tasted great. We even split a dessert which was a lemon pound cake which had a crumble on top - so delicious, light and moist. Perfect! Their staff was just the owner/server and a cook but we had a great meal. It was definitely worth the 15 minute walk before seeing a show at the hippodrome.

This place is a hidden gem! The food, atmosphere, service...everything could not have been better. Ivan is especially attentive to every detail. We will definitely stop here every time we're in Baltimore!

Go here as soon as they open, run don't walk. This is the place I visited for dinner on my first night in Baltimore and I couldn't have been more pleased. It's a shop on the corner of a not so good looking block with street parking. The whole thing (inside and outside) reminded me of one of those whole in the wall restaurants (not dirty just not super extravagant looking) that's actually a real gem and bro... IT IS. Everything is so delicious from start to finish. The server is polite and recommends specials/thoroughly goes through the menu with you and the way he takes the order to this wooden window for the cook gives it this old fashion feel that I loved. Um what else do I need to say? There's enough seating for a decent amount of people, a bathroom, and a dimly lit ambiance. Just go. Go.

I went to this spot while visiting Baltimore earlier this year and I can’t wait to go back!!! The food is phenomenal, service is great, and the atmosphere is so chill. Loved the music, and the house sangria was bomb too! Highly recommend

This little place has an amazing menu! Service was fantastic. We were treated exceptionally well. The food was amazing. It’s not the same old same old! It was different and delicious. Ivan and his staff were wonderful.

This place has great potential and the food can be great at times. I wish he had more exposure and someone to capture his food better in pictures. I've been abt 3 times now but don't hear much abt it anymore.

We stopped by here Sunday after an O's game. I found this place four years ago while in town attending some Oriole games. It's a couple blocks from Camden Yards so within walking distance. It's the same place I remembered, except they no longer serve beer, just wine or cocktails. I ordered a Chesapeake Sandwhich and my Honey ordered the Mac and Cheese Burger. They both are served with fries. My Honey devoured her Mac and Cheese Burger. My Chesapeake Sandwhich was a grilled Marinated Chicken breast topped with crab dip and grilled tomatoes on a toasted brioche bun. The chicken was spicier than I expected but delicious. The Crab dip topping was interesting and added greatly to the sandwich flavor. This is a cozy, romantic Bistro that was not very busy. If you are attending an O's game and are staying nearby you need to stop by here at least once. The food selection and meals are amazing. We will be back for sure.

Chill date night with the Wife and we ended up at Corner Bistro.....Best decision of the day in my opinion. Hidden gem downtown near stadium. We got there early around 530 before the rush and had the place to ourselves. We were greeted by the Owner who sat us and made us feel welcome. Wanted to order the whole menu but started off with Bistro wings naked, and crab cake sliders. Wings were something special, cooked perfectly and the breading was light and crunchy and the seasoning was perfect. Crab cake sliders were very good as well. My wife had the Burger and fries and I had shrimp and grits for entree and both were very good as well. The wine selection was nice, I had a glass of the Cabernet and my wife had the Sangria which she said was so good. Was able to have good conversation and learn about the owner and the restaurant. Will definitely be back
