“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!“

“Last night, my wife and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary with dinner at Charleston in Baltimore—and it truly may have been the dining experience of a lifetime. From the moment we arrived, the attention to detail was astounding: perfectly curated ambiance, gracious and attentive service, and a beautifully paced tasting menu. Every dish was a revelation, from the wine pairing thoughtfully selected to complement each course, to the impeccable presentation and exquisite flavors. The staff made the evening feel utterly seamless and special. It was our first visit to Charleston, and it stands out as the perfect place to mark such a milestone. Thank you to everyone—from the kitchen team to our servers—for creating such a memorable, delightful evening. A hearty thank you for making our 20th anniversary absolutely perfect“

“Just enjoyed the yummiest ice cream ever with my family!!!! We absolutely LOVED THE 🪩 disco ball vibes and the atmosphere was so fun!! 🤩“

“Cloud Shrimp - Juicy shrimp fried in potato starch, served w Kimchi-kewpie Mayo“

“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!“

“Amazing food! Really good service, too.“

“Food and Service was Excellent.“

“Wonderful experience at Alma. Beautiful restaurant with beautiful dishes and plate ware. The ambiance was divine.

We got tequenos, cauliflower, and hamachi. That was the best hamachi I ever had. It was sweet, tart, and salty. The yellow tail melted in my mouth. The Arroz con Chipi-Chipi reminded me of Paella. The Bienmasabe desert was tasty. It was sponge cake, coconut ice cream and chewy jellies for texture. The punch like a lady cocktail was refreshing not too sweet. Something about having it on the rocks took it over.
We were well taken by our servers.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I visited honeygrow with my coworkers today during a very busy lunch hour, and we received excellent service from all the staff but I wanted to emphasize Greg’s talent. Greg was on the frontline and made sure that our needs were met and that we enjoyed are food and service. We will be back to visit this honeygrow location, not only for the great food but because of Greg’s hospitality!“

“7 members of our family stopped here while visiting Baltimore. We had pizza & wings and all was good and done right. Our waitress, Lauren was attentive, was very friendly, curious and also a bit witty! If in Baltimore it is worth looking this establishment up!“

“My husband and I met some friends for dinner here. We passed by multiple, but this was our first time in. It feels like an upscale sports bar when you walk in. The service was standard and the food was very good. I heard that the lamb was a dish people raved about, so I tasted it. It did not disappoint! The salmon bites were also delicious. We had a great time! I think just about anyone would enjoy themselves here. It's not too casual, but not pretentious.“

“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!!“

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

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

“Yesterday was my first visit to Corner Juice Bar, and I absolutely loved it! I ordered a fresh wheatgrass shot—it was both affordable and made to perfection. The owners were incredibly kind and welcoming, making the experience even better. The decor has a nostalgic charm that took me right back to my childhood—especially the mini piano and gold telephone. I’ll definitely be coming back every day!"“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

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

“My husband and I stopped by for a drink, and ordered the cream of crab soup, gf fried shrimp, and the honey maple brussel sprouts. Everything was delicious! Special thanks to the bartender, Lee, who was very attentive!“

“🥰 MR. AMIR and his family are absolutely lovely people. This is a family run business in the heart of Baltimore social life, between Inner Harbor, Harbor East and Fells Point (more to Fells Point side). It is our favorite Indian restaurant in Baltimore by far. My husband and I really enjoy their lunch buffets, they service freshly made food and have a variety of options. The lunch buffet has Indian salads, sometimes vegetable samosas, at least a few different meat entrees, at least a few different vegetable entrees, dessert, and always hot chai tea with sugar options. My husband and I enjoy going to not only eat the food, but also appreciate how friendly and hospitable Amir and his family are. They also have respectful staff, and run a very peaceful operation. We appreciate every visit, and when we leave, we feel like we have gained 5 pounds each (in a good way!). Looking forward to our next visit :) Thank you Mr. Amir and family!“

“This was my first experience dining at Harbor Tandoor and I will definitely be back. Amazing food and even better service! Our server, Hikmat, was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. The food was well seasoned and even the veggies were excellent. If you're ever in Inner Harbor, check this place out!“

“Amazing food here! I was truly shocked by the blast of flavors my meal had in it. I forgot the name of the food I ordered, but it was an omelet with some chicken tenders inside with something yummy on top (I also forgot what it was LOL) with grits on the side. I didn't know the side was going to be extremely small, but it was delicious at least. I'd say the size if the omelet and the taste it had in it made up for it since it's the main dish. The maple- i think bourbon sausage was also tasty!! Ai Would definitely recommend giving it a try here just to try!“

“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 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“

“so good the chocolate is the best ever“

“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.“

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

“We had quite an enjoyable dining experience at Gunther & Co. last week. The food was great as was the ambiance and the attention.“

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

“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!“

“Food was great , service was great. No complaints.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I had a really good experience at Burgerfi White Marsh recently. I was there before lunch time and the crew working was terrific! Malikai, Cameron, Jasmyn and a young man in the kitchen worked hard and so well together. What a team.“

“Mariah did said the Birthday ? Cake was her favorite and as I tasted them. They were bussin wit da baaaannnngggggiinnnn-nism.... All 12 of my multi-selections with vegan cookies were gangsta. But yeah.... I recommend the IC on SC... Y'all go try Crumbl Cookie down NC too!“

“Best Italian food in the area. Service is the best. Can't get any better.“

“The food & service was excellent! My son LOVED the hot honey chicken sandwich. It actually made him dance lol! I got the vegetable soup to go for my dad & he absolutely loved it. Now he wants me to go back & buy as much as they're willing to sell me. The drinks & desserts were great too! If you're looking for a cute little breakfast or lunch place, I highly recommend. And if you like hot honey chicken, you have to try it!“

“The food was AMAZING! We can’t wait to go back!!“

“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“
