“I live in Virginia, but I visit Baltimore frequently. This is my second time eating in this restaurant and I love it. Firstly, the people in this place are very welcoming. They take their customer seriously. They even helped me to find a parking space. Secondly, the environment is clean and cozy and you feel like everything is welcoming you. Thirdly, they have the best Seafood in the region. I truly appreciate the flavor and the taste of the seafood in this restaurant. I bet they carefully select their chefs. When you eat the food you feel the cooking talent. Thank you Angie, we will be back soon!“
“The bartenders were very kind and helpful! The drinks were quickly made and were delicious. We also ordered the olives and they were very tasty too. This is a very nice place that gives off a vintage Miami vibe as there are upholstered lounge chairs, mirrors, and palm trees made of mirrors.“
“This restaurant is a gem in a hidden place, the food was 10 out of 10 the service was 10 out of 10 the music was 10 out of 10 and the vibe was 10 out of 10. Our server, Eric was such an excellent host. He attended to us immediately, and our food came out nice and warm and fast one word efficiency. If you’re looking for a cool vibe, good food type of place stop at this restaurant, you will not regret it.“
“Just had a get-together with friends for my 40th birthday here, and it was fantastic! We had a larger party of 7, and it was great to be able to make a reservation and not have to worry about getting seating or anything like that. Our server, Andy (not sure if that's the correct spelling--if not, so sorry!) was wonderful. They were attentive, and had excellent timing in coming over for additional drink orders right as we were finishing up a round.The drink menu is phenomenal, and the hardest part was narrowing down which to choose. I don't think any of us had a drink we didn't like. We also shared a few tasting flights, and each pour was just enough for 6 of us who wanted to try them to each have a little sip to taste. Highly recommend the first gin in the Orange Flight and the last in the Weird AF flight!Parking on the street was super easy--we were there at 7 on a Saturday and we all found spots right nearby. This was my first time coming, and I will most definitely be back!“
“Literally the best Naan I've ever had in my life. And it's literally just garlic Naan but it's done so well and when you can do the simple things you KNOW the rest is going to be phenomenal. Chicken Korma was no exception. Delicious. Mango Lassi was super refreshing and tasted homemade too!The employees here are so freaking nice too!!Definitely come here if you want a chill Indian spot if you're not a local and wanna people watch with great food. (They also had a full bar and all the drinks I saw made looked really good, but I didn't have any)“
“The horchata was delicious! It was really welcoming to have a non-alcoholic option that is not just soda & juice.Pirogies were to die for! Perfect consistency, well stuffed and the toppings matched & brought out the savory flavors. They are huge and don’t need the added kraut & sausage unless you are really hungry or they are your whole meal.Serbian Pancakes reminded me of a savory yet still sweet cheese filled crape. Very light & delicate.Pizza is thin crust style. Comes out extremely hot. I think it needed a bit more tomato sauce. Make sure to ask for their daily special pizza as they only have 5 on the menu, none of which are veggie topped.Bar staff are extremely kind and sweet.“
“During my recent business trip to Baltimore, I decided to dine at Lib’s Grill. The restaurant boasts a pleasant atmosphere, with two distinct sections—a bar area partially separated by a glass partition, and a more traditional dining space with tables and chairs.One of the highlights of my experience at Lib’s Grill was the friendly and helpful staff, from the welcoming hostess to the attentive waitress. Their excellent service definitely enhanced my overall dining experience. I was impressed by the speed of service, and all dishes arrived at my table piping hot.For starters, I followed the recommendation of the hostess and tried the Fish Tacos, and I must say, she was spot on. The tacos were delicious, both in taste and presentation. The ample piece of breaded fish was perfectly deep-fried, resulting in a delightful dish.Moving on to the main course, I opted for the Roseda Burger. Once again, the presentation was pleasing to the eye. The fries were thin cut and cooked right, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The burger itself was cooked to perfection and was not overshadowed by the bread. Adding grilled onions provided an extra layer of flavor that elevated the dish. However, I did notice that the brioche roll started to fall apart towards the end of the meal, which was a bit disappointing.While Lib’s Grill offers a great dining experience overall, I couldn't help but feel that the prices were a bit steep for what was offered. With some adjustments in pricing and perhaps addressing the bread quality, Lib’s Grill could truly excel as a dining destination in the Baltimore area. Overall, it’s a decent restaurant that I would recommend with some reservations.“
“If this isnt a Michelin-rated restaurant, it should be. Try the steak tartare, if it's available, the best i have ever had. The red wine sangria is pictured, but the white sangria is super good too. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the experts work their art. Fantastic!“
“If cozy had a picture next to it in the dictionary, it would look like Anchor Tavern. We loved heading downstairs (underground) to the bar, with its low and moody lighting, impeccably dressed and attentive bartender, excellent music selection, and delicious drinks.We didn’t take photos of the before (shame on us) but the Fabulous French 75 was the best I’ve ever had.If you’re in search of a cozy, low key, old-soul bar- come grab a drink!“
“We went for the first time and already can't wait to go back. Everything we had was amazing, especially the mac and cheese and the Peruvian chicken sausage. We even took some sausages home to cook later. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant and bar had a really good vibe with lots of local art. Seating is a little limited, but we had no issues during lunch on a Friday.“
“It's taken me too long to check out Bunny's!!!! Everything about this place is a VIBE. I loved the decor and the colors - there's so much to look at and even read in the restroom! The waiter we had was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us navigate all the best drinks and food items to match what we wanted. I came here specifically for the Mac & cheese which was delicious. The 2 cocktails we got- Good Morning Baltimore and the Jessica Rabbit were delish. We wanna come back to try their bananas foster espresso martini. The waffle fries were sooooo underrated- they were crisp and flavorful! The unicorn hush puppies with honey butter were also so yummy. Can't wait to come back and try all the drinks and other menu items, especially for brunch! We were too full for dessert but the cinnamon roll sounds incredible.“
“If you are looking for a place to get an incredible cocktail, look no further. Everything about Southpaw exudes elegance and knowledge. It's not flashy but a lot of the time flash is just a way to cover up shortcomings. Southpaw has no shortcomings. The owner is always there and working diligently to provide the best experience possible. If you are passionate about your drinks, go to Southpaw!“
“This restaurant offers a variety of options that cater to most taste buds. The food is reasonably priced and service is good. I came here to celebrate a family member’s birthday and the service was excellent. Our server, Brenden, made some great recommendations and ensured our food came out on time. We ordered the dumplings, chicken steam bun, cloud shrimp and fried chicken (Karaage) as appetizers. All were very great. We also ordered the Taipei Curry Chicken ramen, Brontosaurus bowl, Brussels & Squash, shrimp and pork belly steam buns as our entrees; all were filling and delicious. I think the curry chicken ramen could use more depth flavors; I added chili oil and mushrooms which were good additions. I also wish the chicken in the ramen was different than the chicken thighs offered as an appetizer. It made me feel like I was eating the same protein for my appetizer and entree.They have a nice drink menu; we all ordered the Last Samurai; which was tasty. I wish it came in a larger glass.I was disappointed they ran out of the miso cooking dessert but I’m looking forward to returning to try it. All in all; I would return. It’s a nice and cozy spot. They have an area where you can sit and watch the kitchen make the food as you dine.Parking: Parking can be scarce during busy times but there is street parking“
“The cocktails from here are unique and delicious. The future ball is my favorite. I have tried all of the short rib food dishes and they are all fantastic. Bonus points that they have a seasonal cocktail menu meaning you can get something different every time you go.“
“One-eyed Mike's is located on a residential street. It is a converted rowhome that will surprise you. You open the door and a long bar fills the dimly lit space. Everyone is friendly. The owner is awesome and definitely comes out and chats with you. There are regulars and new guests. All the food is really good and most of the portions are huge. The wedge salad is big enough to split and the chunks of bacon in it are amazing. The coolest thing about One-eyed Mike's is you can be a member of the Grand Marnier club. I would tell you all about it, but just go and find out for yourself.“
“Delicious cocktails, great service and tasty bar snacks. My favorite cocktail was the New Tipperary! We will be back at least once a week.Vegetarian options: They have seaweed as a snack.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to access from the sidewalk on Kenwood.“

“We had such a fantastic anniversary dinner here last night. We were greeted with complimentary glasses of champagne; such a special touch! Nahal (unsure of spelling), our server, was fantastic; she was attentive and gave insightful recommendations whenever asked. The cocktails we had throughout the evening were wonderful. Wandering Days sounded intriguing with the housemade orange-rosemary-cinnamon syrup. This one had a slight smokiness to it which my husband enjoys more than I do, so we traded. Winter in Jalisco was bright and well balanced, especially for someone who doesn't always love tequila. We agreed The Witcher was probably the best cocktail of the evening and had a nice jaminess to it. For appetizers we shared the Tuna tartare; generous chunks of very fresh tuna, lovely crispy topping and the avocado puree holding it together was wonderful. We tried the charred Octopus Au Poivre. This was a recommendation and such a delight. It had some curry notes in there which made it very interesting. My husband usually hates octopus that isn't breaded and deep fried, but he thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the Short Rib and Mushroom Stroganoff pasta as my main course. This was outstanding! Not only did it have short rib and bacon, but also duck confit; delicious. The house made cavatappi pasta had a nice bite to it without being too hard; perfect. My husband had the Red Wine Braised Short Rib; also excellent, although the tomatoes made it a little sweet. For dessert we had the new Caramel Bread Pudding with caramel ice cream. Loved that the restaurant not only gifted dessert to us for our anniversary, but also allowed us to choose which dessert we wanted! We don't normally go for bread pudding, but this was nice as well. And ending the meal with some Blanton's on the rocks? Killer! Highly recommend Copper Shark.“
“Pauline is the best bar owner in Baltimore. (Also owns "Kenwood Tavern"). JR has an impeccable passion for mixology, bar atmosphere, and menu originality. The cocktails are innovative and refreshing. For a moment it feels like you're in Maui. You won't find another Tiki bar in Baltimore. "Fog Surfing" is the best cocktail. If you are hungry, go for the burger. If you are vegan, try the Zaatar sandwich. Enjoy the Polynesian experience! Mahalo.Vegetarian options: Zaatar sandwich,“

“I have nothing but good things to say. The atmosphere is spacious and clean. The staff were very nice and attentive. The hibachi was delicious and had large portions. You can get great drink deals during happy hour. Everyone in my party of four had a great time and enjoyed the food and drinks.“
“Huge venue with kitchen basement which would explain why our tacos were cold. They were also big and filling. I had a chorizo that included radish, guac, and feta that was scrumptious. Loads of TVs and tequila to boot!Parking: Street parking lots of open spaces.“

“Interesting place near the harbor. It’s situated on the top floor of a non-descript brick building, which you have to take an elevator with a key code to get to. Came here on a Saturday afternoon and the tables were quite empty, but the bar full. A lot of the menu items were out of stock, but some gems were still there. Started with an Aviation for a drink which was undrinkable - bartender was really kind and I was able to switch it out for a bees-knees which was refreshing. Got the Shrimp and Grits for lunch which was very filling. Overall good place to grab some grub and some drinks- hope to try some of thr stuff that was out of stock some time.“
“The food was good, our host at the bar was friendly, happy and very tentative. The brunch menu doesn't provide all that's on the menu so that was a downer. The atmosphere was nice also. Liked that they had a dj. Not sure if I'll go back because the parking isn't so great.“
“We just had the most delicious meal at McFauls! We regularly eat at this restaurant and love it, but when the menu changed a few months ago, they had removed some of our favorites. Thankfully, they have put the delicious fish tacos back on the menu! The Carne Asada tacos were also very delicious as well as the burger and sweet potato fries. The portions were generous, and the side salads were yummy! There’s a great vibe in the bar area and also love the room with the fireplace. McFauls is a go-to for us and we will be returning soon. Huge shout out to our outstanding server Sarai who was amazing.“
“A new spot that we’ve been trying to go here since it opened. Very “Octo” themed and has the decor to go with it. It has a nice bar downstairs with tables in the back. Walk upstairs and you’ll find a quaint room with more tables and a very nice separate bar for private parties or as an additional bar. Everything we tasted was great and the presentation was a delight to the eyes. You have to try the octopus ceviche and the ostrich tartar. The drinks were very tasty as well and everything was adequately priced. We’re going to add this spot to our dinner outing rotation and bring our supper club members. Definitely the best spot we’ve been to in the past year.“
“Drove drown from PA to visit family and stopped by, so can we did. Everyone that worked there was attentive and helpful. The bathroom was clean as well. And the food was amazing as well. I had the French Toast brunch and my husband had the deviled eggs and crab omelette. We ate everything on the plate! Definitely recommend and will be back again in the future.“
“I have been here twice now for brunch and dinner. It's got a great atmosphere and food was lovely on both occasions. Their espresso martinis are also really good. Would recommend to try if you're looking for a more upscale vibe.“
“My evening at B-Side was incredible! The bartenders, Hamza and Aeon, were courteous, professional, and beyond personable. I would especially love to highlight Hamza's skills as my drinks were quite delicious! The truffle fries absolutely hit the spot I was craving after a few drinks. I am so glad to have found this hidden gem in my neighborhood and would gladly recommend anyone to come here for a remarkable experience!!“
“My son recommended this place to try for lunch. Well, so happy my wife and I did! We parked the car and immediately smelled the deliciousness. The smokehouse smell was awesome! She got the brisket and I the knockwurst. The brisket melted in your mouth and the knockwurst had the perfect snap. I recommend the beans and mashed potatoes as a side. However, the side of slaw was good too.“
“The food comes out so fast, and everything is so fresh!!! And their drinks are absolutely incredible. Mariachi bands have been there on Thursdays, the bartenders are amazing. Can't find a bad thing to say about this place, I absolutely love it!!!“
“Hands down the best tasting food I've had in Baltimore so far. For an upscale restaurant, the prices aren't that bad. I would say you can have a date for about $50. If you want an appetizer two entrees and a dessert it'll be closer to $80. But again, the food is so good that you'll want to have all your special occasion dining there. The space is pretty small, but the patio seating is nice and spacious during warm months.“
“From the service to the drinks just one word Awesome. My wife and I had a great time. The owner was great and was very accommodating. The price for the drinks were very reasonable. The only thing I would say is to wear gloves when making the handcrafted “
“tostones plantains 4/5 Tiramisu 3.5/5 while I personally did not like my drink (negroni) this was more of a personal preference than anything else. the bartender was super nice and the place itself has nice ambiance and is cutely tucked away in Mt. Vernon. I'd recommend for a cute date night or hang out!“
“THIS IS FOR CLANDESTINOThis local speakeasy has quickly moved its way to the top of my list.I love the ease of parking, safe neighborhood, and spacious speakeasy space.Always great service by bar manager Charlie, fantastic food and beverage menu and options.My favs so far are the grilled wings and chicken tortilla soup.The drinks are pretty awesome, and Charlie the Great can alter beverages to your preference if you prefer.This is an overall mezcal bar, but they have other libations as well.My fav is John Updike's Old Fashioned. My son ordered and loved the Strawberry Gin & Tonic.This establishment is a great conversation starter, and I look forward to returning asap.“
“If your looking for a place to hang out and have a drink, come to Toros Bar & Grill! The staff here are extremely attentive, friendly and nice! I enjoy the atmosphere as well the food. Best place to hang out and listen to some good Hispanic music!“
“Our server was John he was excellent especially with his smile the staff was very nice I had the salmon wrap so delicious and our drinks were delicious as well not to strong just perfect..Vegetarian options: Salads to choice from and definitely if your pescatarian lots of options“
“The atmosphere and general vibe of the place was awesome, it’s definitely going to be a rocking place in the summer months. The food was very expensive and generally just alright, nothing really extraordinary but also not bad. For the price point of a lot of the entrees and starters they may need to up the quality of the food a bit.The outdoor seating areas are really nice and I would definitely come back for happy hour, drinks and live music!“
