“Very friendly and ice cream and waffle cones were amazing“

“This was a date night with my love and we had an exquisite experience from start to finish. He had the Samke Tajen (Salmon) which was very well seasoned and I had the braised lamb shank and it was absolutely delectable. The drinks were very well hand crafted cocktails with an amazing aroma to it. The ambiance was so gorgeous, it felt like we were not in Baltimore anymore. The service was out of this world! We met the owner, the GM, the captain, and our sessions served Dean who treated us like royalty! Overall everything was pure perfection!“

“Food and Service was Excellent.“

“The most delicious food! Good pricing. Celiac-friendly. Owner on site and lovely.“

“We went to Indigma this evening for restaurant week. The food was fantastic and my nine-year-old loved everything! She gave it a 1523/10 rating! Though everything was excellent, the creme brulee was the best I've ever had. Thank you for a fantastic meal!“

“I really enjoyed the restaurant. I was skeptical at first because I had never tried Jamaican food because I do not like spicy food. This restaurant has definitely changed my view point. The waitress Marlene was fabulous. I will give them 100 stars. 5 is not enough.“

“Superb, distinctive cocktails and dishes - everything feels original and interesting and delicious. My new favorite place in Baltimore, and we have been to all the best. I'm veg and there is always something amazing; same for my omnivore husband.“

“I adore this spot for a fun and cozy happy hour with my friends! Last night, Georges was our waiter, and he was absolutely wonderful—so kind, patient, and attentive, even on a bustling Friday night. Our favorites are the wings, lamb chops, and steamed shrimp—they never disappoint! And you simply have to try the blush sangria (a delightful mix of red and white wine). Cheers!“

“Great food, great drinks, great service and atmosphere.“

“Food has always been delicious however… …the last beef bao sandwich was disappointing because I had to search for the meat through the vegetation. Flavors are always on point but when the protein is missing…. This is always my concern when an establishment grows too large, the quality starts to wane. Regards Sent from my iPhone“

“As an original Marylander born and raised I have eaten in almost all the places in Little Italy accept Angeli’s recently. I love the atmosphere but was not that impressed with the food or service. In a tourist area so maybe to some it was nice. I liked the cozy atmosphere but the food was not impressive to me“

“Excellent delicious food. Exceptional service that would go above and beyond for their customers.“

“This place has a great vibe, and I’ve never had a bad meal here. I like to pressure the servers to suggest new items to me and they are good sports about it, despite that being a huge pain for them!

Recommend, they’ll bring some real solid execution to anything they are offering!!“

“This place is a Baltimore gem. Cozy atmosphere that I wish I could sit in all day! The juices and smoothies are bar none - made with such care and the freshest ingredients. The owners will often give little cups of ginger tea or fruit while you wait for your order. My favorite is the Tropical Crave Crusher and Açaí parfait but I also buy the ginger tea in bottles. A must! So glad to have this place close by, please shop here instead of a chain! You won’t regret it.“

“i’ll never eat this good again GOD LAWWWWDDDDD 😍😍😍😍“

“Good place to stop by whenever I'm in town“

“I am a pure vegetarian and this is one of the nice Indian/Nepali places we have visited in Baltimore. The food was really good and the ambience was also pleasant. We tried below dishes:
1. Dial makhni - 4.5/5 - I think this was one of the best dal makhni I have ever had in the US.
2. Malai kofta - 4.5/5 - the malai kofta was very rich in taste and it had authentic Indian malai kofta taste.
3. Garlic naan 5/5
4. Veg momo - 4/5 - The momo were light in taste and fresh and the base chutney was tomato based which was really good.

Overall the food was really good and tasty but I think it's very heavy too. The portion sizes are really good too. We ordered medium size and malai kofta did not have choice for the size portion but it was large size and it was more than enough for two people. Your part“

“We partnered with this establishment many times in catering/festivals and has truly been a successful partnership. Yunnan Asian cuisine is a bit difference from our usual Cantonese Asian cuisine however, Water Song has always exceeded our expectation with their authentic ingredients.“

“5/5 food,
4/5 for service and ambiance/atmosphere
Price: $$

Food: I ordered the fried chicken, biscuit & gravy omelet, and thought it tasted amazing. The gravy added a rich, savory taste to the omelet. Very delicious meal and I recommend.

Service: The service was very slow this day, which is why I’m giving it 4/5. We were told a 10 minute wait but instead got seated 20 minutes later. Even ordering food and waiting for our food took awhile. We hoped for better and quicker service overall.

Atmosphere: The ambiance/atmosphere was pleasant, but very packed.The tables were so close to each other, it’s impossible to not bump into other people and tables when getting out.

Overall, based on the food I recommend.“

“Great customer service tammy and joyce are the best Great food definitely will be going back.“

“Food was delicious! I would have taken a picture but I ate it too fast. The flavors were all so bold and fresh. Will definitely be back!“

“Love it... listen to recommendations... you won't regret it!“

“Three of us got some veggie sambusas (and then we ordered more of those because WOW) and the Tabor. The Special Tibbs was so great that we asked for a separate order of it in chicken (lamb, beef, or chicken). We “bothered” our waiter quite a bit and he didn’t mind a bit. He was so caring and kind. It was such a neat little spot and with music playing. Just a whole vibe. 1000% will be returning!“

“This place is fantastic. The quality and freshness of their ingredients are amazing.“

“so good the chocolate is the best ever“

“This is one of the best snowball shops in Baltimore reasonably priced and amazing woman owned and black owned but amazing love the flavors and the seasonal fruit after league this is my go to spot“

“My family and I happened up on this cool little place while on vacation and in Baltimore for one day. Loved the atmosphere and the fact that it’s a local place and not a chain that I can get at home in Louisiana. Pizza and wings were great and staff was friendly and attentive.“

“We had the most magical dinner at The Charleston. The 5-course with wine pairings was incredible! Magic comes at a price but if you have the means or a special occasion to celebrate choose the Charleston!“

“This is a typical bar with with bar food. No Different than TGI Friday, except a little better. The service is "OK" the servers are untrained as to waiting on tables. The first thing that should be brought to tables is eating utensils and napkins, the water. The tables dont have slat & pepper available for their patrons, you need to ask for it. The menus are not placed in front of customers upside down. (And I even brought it to her attention and she still didn’t correct it) ?? All in all the server was trying very hard to be attentive. The food was not terrible, it's typical bar food, and dont expect anything more. The Boom Boom shrimp are pre breaded frozen shrimp with the tails on and then fried and covered in some type of sauce. My daughter liked the boneless chicken wings with hot sauce. The onion rings I thought were good. I ordered the toasted Italian sub and wasn't offered the option to get tater tots -vs- fries. I didn’t realize this till later and the fries were soggy. I think this is an "OK" spot for someone looking for a bar atmosphere and same for the food & service.“

“Had the Italian deluxe sub today & it was amazing. Fresh ingredients, fresh bread. I loved it!!!!!“

“Super friendly staff & great service; really good food (& they let you choose the spice level, which is great). Nice atmosphere & not too expensive.“

“I dined in the downstairs bar area, and the service was outstanding. Every staff member that passed by our table took the time to check on us. The food was not only tasty but also reasonably priced. I appreciate the diversity among the staff and guests, creating an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. In a time when our country is divided, it's refreshing to find places like this where we can all come together and enjoy ourselves.“

“The salmon is sooooooo GOOD!“

“On of the best brunches and dinner meals we had in fells , very cozy , unpretentious and family friendly , the food tasted great both times and the coffee so strong , we will be back“

“really great food and service! was so excited to see soju on the menu as well as spike boba (something I'd never seen before!) the menu looked great and there were several dishes I wanted to try but I'll just have to keep coming back to try them all! we got the Laap and garden wraps and both were delicious. the Laap came in different levels of spice and even the mild had some heat so just beware if you're not a spice person 😋 lots of non-spicy stuff on the menu too!“

“First time here and WOW! Awesome friendly staff, really tasty burgers and fries and cold brews!! Definitely be coming back again!“

“so good the chocolate is the best ever“

“Ordered carryout for a birthday party at a local venue and coordination was so easy. Food was great and ready on time and I felt really well taken care of! Even though some items I wanted weren't on the brunch menu they let me order in advance and go off-menu. Highly recommend!“

“great food and prices. my waitress ruined the experience a bit. stared me down for 5 seconds when I asked to put in dessert order cuz I wanted to get that in. And disappeared long periods, (i think only to us), didn't greet us for 15 mins when we sat. it's okay but not the best. she was nice on and off though a little weird the places doesnt give any bread but it's okay. best restaurant week in Baltimore. generous portions. great bread pudding and tiramisu and shrimp and linguine and salmon. salad is good too“

“My son Aaron is on the extreme end of the spectrum and Kiwi is his service dog. This morning, Aaron wanted to go to breakfast which he never asks to do. Sarah Renae and I go to Double T Diner White Marsh for lunch periodically. I called to see how busy they were and if they had booths available. We got a booth in the back (near that giant TV) our waiter was amazing so was the hostess. Aaron does not like going to eat at restaurants because far too often he's made to feel unwelcome because of his service dog. Let me be clear not telling him to leave and making him feel welcome like every other customer are not the same. Today, he was made to feel welcome. Today, his service dog (Kiwi) was made to feel welcome. After we ate breakfast which he had this huge pumpkin Belgium waffle with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, caramel and chocolate syrup with a side a bacon (only 12. 99) I let him pick out a desert for us to take home then he went outside while I paid. He picked the recess cheesecake for himself and the tiramisu for me. One of the hostesses came and asked how things where and if I was the one who had called earlier. I started to tear up as I thanked her and the staff for making Aaron feel welcome and like every other customer. I think it's important to acknowledge when a business not only does the right thing but does the right thing correctly and enthusiastically. So, to the owners, the hostesses, and our waiter (forget his name) thank you from a mom and caretaker this was a big deal for him. Veronica“

“Been a vegetarian since the mid seventies and we use to have to travel to Philly, New York and DC to find a high level of Vegan cuisine. Kai has brought an exceptionally superior Vegan cuisine to our area and even with the Baltimore metro area’s rise in Vegan restaurants Dodah’s Kitchen is clearly one of the best, and absolutely should be the restaurant on everyone’s “bucket” list. Meet Kai, talk with her and one will soon realize that Dodah’s is a literal extension, an aspect of her being. She is meticulous and one of the best definitions: (taking, showing, or involving great care and effort) Synonyms for meticulous: careful, conscientious, fussy, loving, painstaking, scrupulous, and to me, this reminds me of Mama in the kitchen !! and with that, we don’t even have to talk about the food.“

“The food was amazing and of course the Soju was great . I’ll definitely be back 😊“

“Rusty Scupper was amazing. The goold was delicious but what really set them apart was how they went the extra mile for my parents anniversary dinner. I got my parents a gift card and made reservations, in the reservation saying it wasy parents anniversary celebration, could they give them a quiet table. They did that and so very much more. My mom can't stop talking about how incredible they were, how special she felt, how incredible the food was and how she had 3 wait staff, one in training but she had never felt so special in her life. Her excitement and joy makes me smile and I want everyone to know that Rusty Scupper could have set them in a nice table and said Happy Anniversary, that would have been great service but what they did was make an unforgettable memory for my parents. Going above and beyond, thank you Rusty Scupper staff, thank you so very much. You gave my parents an experience that is above and beyond "like something out of a movie" mom keeps saying!!!!“

“Brunch Was Awesome Today. The Deviled Eggs Were Awesome. Thank You to My Cousin for Recommending Me to This Awesome Place in Fells Point“
