We had a nice dinner but the Oregon Grill and the other Atlas Group restaurants that I've eaten at suffer the same short comings in service and delivering the details that make celebrating occasions special. We arrived to find the parking mostly full and a long line of cars waiting for the valet because they only had one attendant. I had made a reservation indicating both on the reservation itself and with a separate note that it was my wife's birthday. But no one indicated they knew this until our server asked if we were celebrating anything special. The servers are plentiful but lack experience and simply bring out the food. I had to wait several minutes before I could get someone to bring me a pepper mill for my Caesar Salad. Lastly, we ordered dessert and they brought out a delicious Apple strudel cheesecake along with a separate slice of a sheet cake with a candle. The food up to that point had been very good but the complimentary cake was absolutely tasteless and possibly stale. I've had this exact same thing happen at another Atlas restaurant and it frankly cheapens the overall experience. For a high end restaurant, they should make more of an effort to celebrate a special occasion.

Huge thanks to the hostess team for accommodating our party. They were able to move us to a quieter table that we all appreciated. The server was prompt and always available bringing us three courses perfectly timed. All was very well timed.

The Sea Bass special with the passionfruit white wine sauce was amazing! Best meal I have had in a long time. Service staff was incredible.

Kristina K (special K) was phenomenal! She went above and beyond to ensure my fiance and i got to celebrate our anniversary in a special way. Her knowledge about menu items and recommendations were so helpful. She was extremely personable and made the night one to remember. I will be requesting her as a server my next visit. I hope upper management sees this and properly addresses Kristina with the the same gratitude I left the restaurant with. If I could leave a billion stars I would.

It was so noisy we couldn't even talk to each other The waiter ignored what I told him I wanted even though he recited his name and said he would care of us I usually don't go at dinner, and last night convinced us that dinner is to be avoided at the Oregon Grill Lunch is great Very disappointed.

We had a wonderful experience at The Oregon Grille. Bryan was our waiter and he was spectacular! We loved where we were seated and the food was amazing! Didn't have a thing we didn't like. They brought us a piece of carrot cake for our anniversary which was very much appreciated! This is a nice place to go for a special celebration or event. We very much look forward to coming again!

Easily one of the worst meals we have ever had in Baltimore. Went for Christmas Eve dinner - reservation made months ago and requested the main dining room. Sat in the back room (which is really a closet) with my son facing the stairwell and back door of the restaurant, with bright fluorescent lights in his face. Servers - heavy traffic of them - using this stairwell yelling at each other throughout service, not to mention anytime a server went out to smoke or a patron used that door to exit, we were blasted with cold air.
Drinks came 15 minutes after ordering and were tasty. For appetizers we ordered potato skins, which were very good. Beef carpaccio was tasteless and there was probably one ounce of paper thin meat on the plate. Oysters were good.
Entrees came after too long of a wait - and EVERY dish was cold. We ordered two of the “specials”, which our server had offered to us with no price mentioned. Well, who’s asking for price clarification in front of fellow guests? We ordered the Dover sole and the “Blackhawk” loin steak, as well as the halibut and the gnocchi. The Dover sole was lukewarm at best (sauce was COLD on the cold plate) and was so tough it had to be cut earnestly with a knife and fork - tasted like it had been frozen.The Blackhawk steak was tasty but very tough, and again, not hot. The halibut was raw in the middle and actually cold to touch. Gnocchi was tasty. Mac and cheese with added king crab (two tiny pieces of king crab for this $26 “supplement”) was cold, congealed, and with a crispy top that was so tough it had to be removed to eat what was under it.
Our server was gracious but didn’t check back with us after the meals were delivered. At that point we were ready to escape the tiny room that we were shoved into. And what were we to do - have them reheat/remake every entree? It’s a Christmas Eve - we had already been sitting for over an hour and were ready to leave.
The bill came: over $600 (BEFORE tip!) for five people dining, two sharing an entree. $155 for the “special” Blackhawk steak. $99 (NINETY NINE DOLLARS) for the Dover sole special. Dover sole is on the usual menu for $72…why was it $27 more?? Because it was served with three TINY pieces of king crab?? Over $40 for small skillet of “crab” Mac and cheese?? It’s nothing short of extortion - the prices were hiked up from the usual menu for the holiday, which is appalling. Really disappointing meal.
Bring Ted Bauer back. He knew how to run this historic restaurant and serve beautiful (hot!) meals and steaks at a reasonable price point.

I have to say this may have become one of my favorite restaurants. I had my 50th dinner party on 11/29 and it was truly a wonderful experience. I believe my waitress name was Sarah I hope that was her name because she was absolutely awesome. It was a party of 13 and she was attentive to everyone. The food was delicious and I mean delicious. Seasoned and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere gives private club; you need a membership to get in. I love the vibe. Will be returning soon. Thank you for a wonderful time.

My family can’t express enough how much we loved the food, the atmosphere and service at the grille as we celebrated my son’s college graduation. Everyone ordered something different to get a taste of the amazing food. Thank you Oregon Grille, Chef Amanda, Matt, Liam and team. We will be back.
Another fantastic product from the atlas group. The Oregon grille sets a standard for all steak houses. With a diverse menu and extensive wine list one must point out that this might be one of thee best steak houses in Maryland. Management amd wait staff definitely go above and beyond for that personal touch. I rate this location higher then most for the addition of venison and bision. Both of which, in my personal opinion are better cuts of meat the beef. That being said there normal beef cuts are delicious and do not disappoint in terms of size or selection.

My fiance took me here for our anniversary dinner and our server Brian took excellent care of us. The food was truly amazing and the dessert made by chef Nicole was exceptional. We truly felt so taken care of and couldn't have asked for a better evening, we were truly spoiled. If you're looking for an amazing experience come here!

Fine restaurant with great decor and food. Waiter service was excellent. The "greeter" was poor, hovering over us and made for an uncomfortable start to our evening.
