“I dined there for the first time tonight, and I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is quaint, cozy, and perfectly decorated. The first two drinks that I got were absolutely amazing, as they were custom-made. We also tried a flight of tequila, which was also very delicious. We both got an entrée each, and got nachos and queso. It was all absolutely delicious. The waitress kept coming back to check on us and was very attentive. Thank you for a lovely evening. We’ll be back!“

“Great food menu with nice variety of seasonal offerings. Outstandoing drink menu. Service by Christian was top notch the entire evening. Three of us got the 8oz filet mignon but asked for three different degrees of doneness. All three were done to exact requested level. Fourth person got the crabcake which been rated disappointing in other reviews. Glad they did because they were very pleased as well.“

“I heard the stories about this place and it had been closed for a couple of years as the hotel it's in underwent renovation and ownership changes but it's back open and I couldn't be happier.

Steve the bartender is currently a one man show and we were there on the weekend it reopened and he was so happy to be back in his happy place. The man is a cocktail maven who loves his craft and what he does and his customers as well.

There is currently no menu here you ask for what you want or can tell Steve what you are in the mood for and he will make something amazing!

I got a smoked old fashioned that he smokes with his own blend of wood and spices and it was easily in the Top 5 of best old fashioneds I've ever had.

If you are in Fells Point looking for a cocktail and Anchor Tavern is open make sure you visit!“

“This is good bar in the ulysses Hotel. Every time I’ve come, it’s been near empty which is a bummer because the drinks are drunk and the food is good.

Being that it is not very packed, that affects the atmosphere which means you have the bring the energy you want to have in this bar. The music is low, the lighting is very comfortable but I can’t say it’s a very “fun” bar. It’s a good bar in a very nice hotel. The bartender is great!“

“Great atmosphere Tasty cocktails Nice people“

“We stopped by on a whim and loved the experience! Quiet on a rainy Thursday. The vibe was so cool … reminded me of New Orleans! We sat at the bar and were looking for something non-alcoholic and bartender Bong made us each a delicious bespoke cocktail based on our preferred flavor profiles and even showed us the aperitifs. Will definitely be going back!“

“Order of the Ace exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was unmatched—live music from a saxophonist, pianist, and strings instrumentalist created a luxurious, romantic vibe. The cocktails were perfectly crafted, the crab cakes were fresh and flavorful, the steak was cooked to perfection, and the butter cake dessert was rich and unforgettable. Every dish hit the mark. Service was top-tier—attentive, warm, and professional. This spot is a full-sensory experience and a must-visit. We'll definitely be back!“

“Food was bomb and the service was on point“

“This was by far the BEST seafood in the area. Food was delicious, service was superb, staff very friendly. Shuttle service right on point! Overall experience 10/10 in all areas. I definitely will be back and telling everyone looking for great seafood and experience! Thank you!“

“Amazing prices on all beverages. Always stocked and never gives any issues. Highly recommended as all places around charge significantly higher prices. The shop itself could use a remodeling, but I can forgive that as the prices make it worth it.

Parking: Just a small parking lot with 3 or 4 spots. You can park on the street across the street.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs and there is a ramp to get in. It will be difficult to maneuver around inside as it is a small store with limited room.“

“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!“

“Cute little spot (little being the key word). Drinks were great, I got a cocktail and my friend got the cappuccino. The coffee was one of the best she has had and my cocktail was nice. The food was delicious, they specialize in biscuits and you definitely have to try them. The table next to us got the monkey bread and it looked to die for, will definitely be ordering that next time. Service was a little slow but I think that had to do with the layout of the space and how new the place is. They are still trying to figure out their groove.

Parking: You need to be able to parallel park to drive here.“

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

“if you have any time on your hands and you down that area I highly recommend it it's a good affordable place to eat at“

“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.“

“The atmosphere is friendly and lively. the cocktails were interesting, and may have even converted my gin-hating husband. The bartenders, Ted especially, really rounded out the experience. one of the best places in the city!!!!!“

“So,

I ordered the Lamb Curry. I definitely picked the hottest flavor and I'm definitely impressed. This flavor touched my ancestors. The lamb itself was juicy and tender. And the Garlic naan was perfectly seasoned.

I only gave a 4 star because I think a 20 dollar meal should come with at least 1 slice of naan as a meal. We should not be paying a separate price for something that should go with the meal. Especially when the meal is over 20 dollars. Blasphemy.

But perfect food. And because I Did call ahead to find out about the naan, I was able to speak to someone and they were very pleasant and helpful.“

“Absolute best meal I have ever had I any restaurant! Make sure you call ahead. It is so good it will be hard to get into!“

“The food and staff were amazing!“

“Great experience. The Chef loves what he does and it translates to the quality of food and excellent customer service. The Chef visited our table 3x, including once to deliver a drink. The staff was friendly and attentive. Portion size was enormous. You will definitely need a take home container. Great hidden gem.“

“Best vibe in the City every Saturday!“

“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!“

“Enjoyed dinner at the bar earlier tonight at Chilango’s. Delicious Jalapeño Margarita. The shrimp on on bruschetta were also amazing. Just moved into the neighborhood and will be back to try some more menu items.“

“Just simply fantastic! Cool vibe & excellent bartender Erin. She gave us an amazing history of the bar and the Grand Mariner club. This is a “must see” destination when visiting Baltimore.“

“Exceptional Service, Made Our Meal Even Better!”

I just have to give a huge shoutout to our server, Enrique who made our experience at Baltimore Seafood absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we sat down, Enrique was friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. They took the time to walk us through the specials and offer recommendations based on our preferences, which made choosing our dishes so much easier.

What really stood out was how knowledgeable Enrique was about the seafood on the menu. They could easily answer every question we had about the sourcing and preparation of each dish. It was clear that they took pride in the restaurant’s offerings and cared about making our meal the best it could be.

Throughout the evening, they checked in just the right amount—never hovering, but always making sure we had everything we needed. They also made great wine pairings suggestions, which were spot on. It’s rare to get such personalized service, and it really elevated our dining experience.

Thanks to Enrique , our evening at [Restaurant Name] was truly memorable. We’ll be back soon, and hopefully, we get to have them as“

“We were visiting from out of town and ran across this restaurant. The food is so unique and made with the freshest of ingredients! Staff was friendly and service was fast. Recommend highly.“

“This hidden gem is so a cozy, cool, sexy place with amazing staff & owner. We feel like family here . We luv to karaoke and enjoy the atmosphere . Check it out you may fall in with the place too“

“Definitely a great atmosphere nice to see something like this in my old neighborhood. Eric and Chad were phenomenal. Me and my girlfriend definitely enjoyed ourselves. I felt like I hit a time machine and went back to the 90s down fells point. It definitely gave me that type of vibe. 💯💯🫡“

“Dude, this place smacks. Super welcoming vibe, great prices, great drinks, and even greater service. The owner and the bartender were a pleasure to hang out with and they make sure to immediately give water to every patron and top you off constantly, which shows they care. Absolutely love their dressed beers selection - I usually order a dressed beer of some sort and never see it listed on paper. I cannot stress how good a Spaghett is - it's my go-to, please try it. As DnD nerds we had to do the Critical Roll. We meant to just stop by for a nightcap after dinner but ended up staying and watching movies and bantering with the gracious hosts for many rounds. I wish I wasn't a tourist because I'd make this my regular haunt if I lived here.“

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

“Heritage Smokehouse has been my go-to spot for the past two years—I’m there at least once a month, and I can’t get enough of it. The food, the atmosphere, the people—everything about it keeps me coming back. My wife and I recently attended a special event, the Carl Ehrhard Wine Dinner, and it completely blew us away. From the incredible pairings to the warm hospitality, it was next-level. Heritage isn’t just a restaurant to me—it’s a place I’ll be loyal to for life.“

“Our favorite place in Baltimore filled with really great people.“

“Great bartender Zack with crazy skills on cocktails.“

“There are not enough stars in the sky to give this place. Talk about creating fantastic dishes they make such wonderful flavor combinations. They use fresh ingredients it’s very evident in the high quality of food that they provide. The atmosphere is absolutely amazing and the vibes are indescribable. My waiter was Jimmy today I ordered the Halibut after I asked what it was 😂😂😂. He told me it was delicious and one of his favorite fish. The man was spot on it was absolutely amazing how every was seasoned and grilled to beyond perfection. My girlfriend ordered the Chicken Chesapeake it was an absolute hit.I don’t know which one was better but I’d love to have a serving of either one again anytime. Oysters were perfect this place has quickly become a huge place of interest. We both look forward to returning and I will suggest this amazing food to anyone. What great food and a great time.“

“Been here like 5 times since they’ve opened. Carbonara, and duck confit pizza are go to’s. Never had a bad experience. Brett, dom, and Jontell, along with their great staff and brand can certainly run a tight ship. 30/10, will recommend every time.“

“I visited Judy's Island off the recommendation of @A.I Brown. The restaurant had a nice vibe, the staff was very pleasant and accommodating, and the food was good!! I had the jerk chicken and my husband had jerk lambchops. Both were good...and we would visit again!“

“Always good always hot always fresh i also love how neatly the crabs r placed in the bag an season is on time!!!!! Dave is always kind prices always great wish i could give 1000 stars keep up the great work Dave I appreciate u“

“As poetic as the poem, Annabel Lee, this tavern is the place to be. Whether sunshine or in shadow, the atmosphere here suits. The staff are the best, the food is creatively good! The ambiance and decor is perfectly Poe-esque. It was many and many a year ago that I came here to eat, and decades later finding time to visit again and again is always and shall be a terrific treat.“

“I wasn't prepared for how outstanding the food was. Seriously. I ordered takeout and went with what the keywords were: Brussel sprouts and Cheesesteak. The portions were ample. The fries were hot and hearty, and the cheesesteak was delicious. Not messy but juicy- terrific toasted roll. BUT WAIT!!! The brussel sprouts were the best - THE. BEST.- I have ever tasted. They were roasted to perfection and they were solidly baked through! They retained every ounce of heat and were a solid treat as they were. OMG THE SAUCE! The spicy sauce on the sprouts were an explosion of taste. Phenomenal! First time there and I will be back.“

“Stopped by the coral wig love this place Josie is an amazing bartender drinks were delicious never had to wait for a drink she's definitely on her game great attitude you can definitely see that besides being an amazing bartender she is an amazing person highly recommend the coral wig“

“Never had anything bad. Best pizza bar none. Well managed by Jason.“

“It made me feel like home! 😍“

“Hey food was great. Just didn't like when I was trying to surprise my mother for her bday the waitress just didn't do the happy bday to my mom . I didn't ask her again because I was like I no she didn't forget . They take tip out even before on check so she get that in advance“

“Everything from the ambiance, the decor, to the immaculate cocktails, and entrees. They are truly a culinary experience, right in my small quaint neighborhood. Feel so lucky to be so close to them and to share the neighborhood space.“
