Such a great, quiet little pub. Only had the bread and deviled eggs and they were amazing. The other food smelled wonderful so definitely need to go back!

Wonderful food and drinks, as expected based on past experiences at Le Comptoir du Vin. However, our meal was dampened by the attitude of the bartender the night we visited. Simple requests and questions earned us snarky responses, and we were scolded for resting the drink menu on the bar a certain way. We were walking on eggshells by the end of the meal. I understand that heavy crowds and short staffing make things difficult, but give your customers some grace.

There was no host to let you know waits or take reservations, after waiting an hour you are seated, also only one table for 4, so expect a long wait. when they come to take your order you have to ask about the menu- it is on a chalkboard, don’t you know?! The place is clearly overwhelmed, but I was most disappointed in the experience dealing with the server who is quite unhappy, and willing to pass that on to you. I hope they are able to improve their situation, but it is right now? Not worth the wait or money.

Not worth the price or the wait. Mediocre food, extremely poor service from the wait staff that was condoned by the manager/chef/owner. I expected a better experience. NYT got this one wrong.

Cozy pub setting with excellent food, drinks and service. Had the Duck Confit, Pork Cheeks and Deviled Eggs. Likely the best deviled eggs I’ve ever had. Everything was approachable and delicious. Will definitely be back.

Wow! No wonder The Wren has been voted one of the best in the country! We got there on a Thursday at around 640p and got a table right away! Incredible meal, perfectly presented, and wonderful service! Loved the selections and again amazing and so inventive! Definitely will spread the word and return again!

Lovely little joint. Hearty, soulful fare elevated by skill, not gimmicks.
The decor is a bit of a timewarp - Irish pub meets Fells Point grit. It’s first-come, first-served (18 bar seats, no reservations) with a lounge for spillover space.
If you need a polished setting or doting service, it might feel too rough-hewn. The scotch selection (over 80 varieties) and craft cocktails easily appease my taste for sophistication.
The food was amazing, and the staff was very friendly. The halibut with rice has been my favorite dish since moving to the US. The food was excellently seasoned. Bravo, chef!

The bartender ruined my meal. He seemed overwhelmed to begin with, but you can’t take that out on customers. I wish them the best going forward. The deviled egg is delicious.

The garlic shrimp and fried green tomatoes are a MUST TRY.
