“Nice place for oyster lover, and one of the best crab cakes I have ever had. Visited in mid Jan and they have a great selection of oysters. My friend enjoyed the different flavor profile of oysters. Clams are great option for people less into oyster.Also ordered the crispy point Judith Calamari, New England lobster roll, and cast iron crab cake.My favorite about these dishes is the crab cake, it was nicely seared which added the great texture and crunch, but it is juicy and meaty inside. At the time I had it, it was served with potato and sweet potato puree on the side. Decently big portion. The sauce is rich and creamy with some tagines which pairs well with the crab cake.The Lobster roll is alright, the but is very buttery which can get a be heavy, the lobster roll is served warm, the lobster meat is simple but good quality. It was served with fires sprinkled with old bay.The crispy point Judith Calamari was a bit disappointing; it was nice that it is seasoned with minced pepper which added some heat. However, this dish is very heavy and oily, especially when oil collect at the bottom of the plate.“
“The service and food was absolutely amazing! I drove in from Buffalo NY to watch the ravens beat chiefs. While that didn’t happen the one bright spot was deciding to give Angie’s a try. The food was absolutely amazing! The crab dip, the crab cakes, my 16oz ribeye smothered in the most perfectly cooked scallops, shrimp, fresh crab meat. It was phenomenal. I can’t remember his name but the guy waiter we had as well was a cool guy. He walked around when he had a minute and had conversations with all the customers so I left an extra tip. Next season when I’m back in town I will be paying them a visit again!“
“We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Linwood's. The calf's liver, small plates scallops, crabcakes, French onion soup, crab soup, and Korean short rib tacos were order and were all delicious. I'd suggest going here if you have a large party, business dinner, or date.“
“Visited this location after getting great news from Johns Hopkins. I've been to many locations nationally and felt it was a safe bet to be "the" place to have a celebratory meal after a long ordeal. I was right, but it actually exceeded my expectations! Food was excellent and the service even better! Our server was Ilana and she was by far the best attentive and personable server I've ever had the pleasure of meeting (if you come here; request her!). I'll most certainly come here again should I visit Baltimore again.“
“Amazing dinner yesterday, I had the Squid Ink Pasta and Caesar salad. It taste really good and the quality was really great. Nice food portions and excellent quality of food. I also had some drinks. The cocktails were awesome and so refreshing. Menu was excellent and they have great portions too. Nice setting and pleasant ambiance.“
“We had oysters three different ways, all were outstanding. The fried oysters were amazing. My husband had the catfish entree, innovative preparation, he liked it. They have a good selection of beers and bourbons. The space is beautiful. Our servers were very good and offered good suggestions. We will be back.“

“Service and Food are amazing. If you are ever in Baltimore Inner Harbor, visit Phillips Seafood. Ask for Keisha’s station, she is amazing, after a stressful day, she truly made the evening so pleasant with her calmness and always making sure you have enough to drink. The food is amazing, when I will be back this restaurant will be on my list again, and definitely in Keisha’s station.“
“Food was delicious but menu is small (-1 star for food) especially if you aren't big into seafood (consider for larger parties). We had a party of 20 which requires a per-pwraon minimum of $80 and a paid deposit. This irked me (-1 star for service). When we were there tho, tho waitstaff were 10/10 excellent. And the atmosphere was perfect. A bit more pricey than the atmosphere commands but not by too much. Would recommend for sure.side note: it's a long walk down the pier. If you take an Uber it's ok for them to go in the gate (pick ups and drop offs are free)“
“This was our first visit, and boy, are we glad we decided to stop here. We were promptly seated and immediately greeted by our server, Keeley (sp?). She was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and even offered some suggestions. Keeley was ver friendly and outgoing. Loved having her as our server! Keeley recommended the hush puppies; they were great!Hubby and I both ordered 2 snow crab clusters, which came with corn and potatoes. We loved that we could choose our sauces (or no sauce) and our spiciness level. Our food arrived at our tabke in a timely manner and was hot. We opened up those steamer bags, and the tantalizing aroma was a delight. The crab legs, corn, and potatoes were cooked perfectly! Yummmmmm! What an enjoyable dinner. We will definitely be back!“
“Love them. very good seafood and oysters but the last several times I haven't been able to sit out on the outside deck when it was clearly open. Also our drinks the other day were very weak. That's the first time ever. For the amount of money that we spend on drinks, they should have more alcohol. overall they're great!“
“Great panoramic views here to go with some scrumptious cocktails. Staff was personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. Appetizers and entrees were what one would expect for the price and nicely presented. Mushroom soup appetizer and the lobster with squid ink pasta entree, along with the seabass, were underwhelming. The ricotta appetizer, along with duck and short ribs entrees was delicious.“
“First timer! Easy reservation process. Wasn't crowded at all. The crab egg rolls were very good. As well as the wings. I didn't order any drinks. I did, however, order the gumbo. To me, it was too salty and not enough rice. The entrée was plentiful. I had enough to take home. Super friendly staff that served my table. Food came out extremely fast. The atmosphere was nice and cozy. Parking can be sketchy but the restaurant was worth it. I'd go back to try another entrée and get some drinks.“
“Baltimore is Little Italy has a new bright shining star! Recently purchased by a young chef from Sardinia Italy, La Tavola, fresh new dishes and exciting menu. Native dishes from Sardinia like cuguliones And others highlight the attention to detail in their exciting new kitchen! I highly recommend this restaurant for their excellent food and remarkable service. Ron don’t walk to La Tavola.“
“At a tagliata, I recommend trying the classic Tagliata di Manzo, which is thinly sliced grilled beef typically served with arugula, cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan shavings. It's a delicious and flavorful choice that showcases the quality of the meat. Enjoy your meal!“
“A fantastic find! We wandered in on a Thursday night without a reservation and were seated promptly. The food arrived quickly and was quite delicious. Our waiter Raphael was very attentive and a pleasant conversationalist. We enjoyed the stuffed calamari, Dover sole, and lobster pasta. All were very delicious. I elected to filet the Sole myself, but please note that it does come bone-in. The stuffed calamari is not the little calamari bites, but is the size of a chicken breast. The lobster pasta is very fresh, and the sauce has a sweet acidity that is to die for. Will return again!“
“This is by far the best chicken and fish place in Baltimore. The fastest selling item is the macaroni and cheese. People are coming in and ordering just macaroni and cheese sometimes and they're ordering extra on the side with their meal. And the cabbage is to die for oh my god I don't know what he puts in the cabbage but it's great. If you're looking for a place to get some good soul food this is it!“
“What an experience! So I decided to drop in at UO. So happy that I did. It was a nice vibe on a Wed afternoon. I started my meal with a Drink: Kingston Snow Day and a starter: Deviled Eggs. It was pretty good. The drink had me in a trance l, it was delicious and strong. The deviled eggs were good, not overly seasoned, just fresh ingredients. Of course I couldn’t leave w/o trying the oysters and all I can say is wow!! Delicious, fresh and the side dressings that come with them just enhances the flavor. These aren’t ordinary oysters, they taste exactly how they are described on the list. Add UO to your restaurant roster.“
“Had an absolutely great meat at Seasons 52. The food was delicious, fresh, and hot. Our server Ashley went out of her way to make sure our experience was memorable. Ashley is both patient and kind. She answered all our questions, and made sure we were pleased with our meal. On top of all that, Ashley has the most gorgeous smile, and that smile reflects her great personality. Thank you for making our meal so nice. Can't wait to come back.“
“Where to start with this gem?! First off....everything from the moment we stepped in the front door was on point. Host knew our name and had reserved table ready and waiting. Great intimate atmosphere in both bar and dining room. Cocktails were excellent....best Manhattan on this trip thus far. Menu is manageable and clearly based on fresh, in season components. From the Susan's Shrimp appetizer...to the Maryland Crab Soup, perfect starters. Then an entree of Maryland crab cakes with roasted Brussel sprouts and slaw, accompanied by in house tartar, well played pairing. The other “off menu” entree offering was pan grilled red snapper topped with lump crab and velvety beure blanc sauce with roasted root vegetables.....heaven! Finished off with a house grand marnier creme brûlée....NO words! Chef Akbar has outdone himself and still takes the time to check on his patrons table-side should you request, as I did. Do yourself a favor and book dinner here!!! #cheers“
“I have been coming here on Monday's for the rib special since I was a kid. These are the best ribs I have ever had, hands-down. They are tender and fall right off the bone. The food is always ready within 10 minutes of ordering and the servers are as friendly as they come.If you want the ribs, come on a Monday. You get a full rack plus a side of fries for just $15.99!I could not recommend this place more!“
“First I want to say this is my first time ordering from here. So I just want to say based off the presentation I just knew the food was going to be good ? 10/10 for the presentation. Now the food it self was so good i forgot to take a picture. The jumbo crab cake was the best one I have ever had. And the chef’s special sauce is to die for. Omg. The lamp chops were delicious it’s was my first time eating lamp chops so I was a bit nervous but whew chef rock has me sold I will be returning to order more from him“
“Dylan’s is Baltimore’s best oyster spot. The oyster selection is spot on, with representation for the best regions (PEI, Maine, Massachusetts, Washington state). There’s one oyster on the menu that’s particularly excellent: West Robins from New York.“
“I love the homely feel of the restaurant and the service was excellent. The french fries were on point and the blacked chicken sandwich was ok. The crabcakes were too salty and not enough flavor. The macaroni was good but a tad too sweet for my taste. I also got wine but was given to me in a plastic cup. That's a first. A glass would have been nice. Overall we enjoyed our visit and would return but will try something else.“
“We stopped by on our way home to try soft shell crab for the first time. Everything was delightful - from the staff to the seafood! I wish we lived closer, but we will definitely come again next time we are in the state! Thanks y'all! :)Notice: They kindly recommend calling to order, as apps tend to charge extra even for pickups. I can confirm that their direct prices are much better. Good to know!“
“Easily the best hotpot experience we've had in the area. They give large fresh portions of meat, the buffet has a large variety of meats, and veggies. The soup was perfect.My wife and I decided that whenever we want hotpot this is the place we're going from now on.“
“This has become my new ritual when I drive from NJ to DC and back. I have to stop at Nick's for a dozen of the best crabs anywhere. The crabs are fresh, steamed and spiced to perfection, and served with great customer service. We are never going back to the pirates at the DC Wharf again. Nick's is a real jem.“
“Went here for my sisters birthday. Can’t believe there’s such an amazing halal gem so close to me. They were so accommodating for last minute reservations. The food was amazing, the lamb chops and beef tenderloin were so tender and juicy. Their tea and plov was phenomenal. The chef was so kind to let us try their manti. Definitely a new favorite for us, can’t wait to come back again!“
“They aren't kidding when they say if you can only stop at one place for crabcakes while in Maryland try Faidley's.The crabcakes are massive and to my surprise pretty much entirely crab meat. Not a bread patty with a hint of crab. The side portions are generous and definitely shareable for smaller appetites.It is quick service cafeteria style. You run your foor tray along the railing, place your order, and leave your tray for them to set your food on. The system wasn't explained for first timers so I inadvertently walked off with the empty tray.I didn't try the raw oyster bar but there were many patrons gathered enjoying themselves. You can also buy fresh seafood or order menu items in bulk to take home.The macaroni and cheese was delicious and the steak fries were standard fair. The restaurant is small, seating is limited and fairly close quarters. The sloping of the floor may also make it difficult for patrons with mobility issues.Overall really enjoyed it and highly recommend as a treat if you're in the area.“
“The best crab cake I have ever had the pleasure to eat. The waitress was very informative, prompt and hospitable.We had made reservations, arrived at 6 and the place was empty. We ate and upon leaving I noticed there were still no other patrons in the restaurant.I love old gems like this place and hope this review brings about more foot traffic.“
“Had a 70th birthday celebration for my wife there on March 30, 2024 with just under 40 people attending. Staff there was absolutely first class. The waitress Tianna handled us like an experienced professional. Food came out in a timely manner and was prepared perfect. They also allowed us to decorate prior to start of event. I love to see black owned businesses ran right with a good attitude staff. They are rare but this is one of them. I highly recommend this establishment and will definitely consider them in the future.“
“Beautiful austere interior but with plenty of warm bright lighting. So so so happy there were carts! Carts filled with some of the BEST dim sum I have ever had. I have been to multiple dim sum restaurants in multiple cities on both coasts — this place knows what they’re doing. The pork buns were so tasty and fluffy. All the classics here and very well prepared.“
“The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. Now, onto the food - each dish was a masterpiece of flavor and presentation. The ingredients were fresh, the flavors were balanced, and every bite was a delight to the senses.“
“First time & I’m hooked! The Jerk chicken & rice lunch special was amazing, great smoky flavor and plenty of zip - but not too spicy. And at a reasonable price. No offense to the green & yellow sub franchise, but I’m walking next door from now on!“
“We made reservations online in advance for our anniversary and were absolutely thrilled by our experience! From the professional, friendly staff to the cozy, small bistro atmosphere down to the excellent food and cocktails - we really enjoyed our experience and will be back!“
“MY GOODNESS!! Just got a platter with a crab-cake, fried shrimp, fish, scallops, steamed shrimp, hush puppies , rice/vegetables, colesaw.... I also ordered a half dozen of FRESH raw oysters ..(I know, i know, everyone don't like em' raw?) Anywho, it was all amazing!!! Not to mention a Mix Flavored slushy was super refreshing!! Customer service is 10/10! Straight up love!......Keep in mind, it's 2 seperate parts of the store...One side is sorta like a fresh seafood market, and the other is a carryout. All the same staff though...They also sell large seafood boils, that are bomb! Prices aren't cheap, but very affordable. Besides, you get what you pay for.“
“Oliva was the bomb her energy was everything ? ✨️ ? ? ❤️. Food was the bomb. My drinks was excellent ? gold magrita and white tea tequila. The manage was so nice and pleasant ☺️. I love Pappas.I am suggesting employee of the month wall. And a suggestion box.“
“Always a favorite, in my top 3 for Maryland crabcakes. My one complaint is condiments, i.e. cocktail sauce and ketchup should be automatically put in the bag. I shouldn't get home to eat the crabcakes I paid nearly $100 for and be mad I have no cocktail sauce. And one small critique, they could probably pull back ever so slightly on whatever they're using either old bay or salt. Sometimes the crabcakes are slightly on the salty side.Parking: Lot can be busy depending on the day of week and time of day. It's always best to order ahead for carry-out.“
“Saw the IG review and went to check it out. Fish was great, chicken was completely cooked, and the portion size was adequate. This inside is nothing fancy, but serves it purpose. The staff, especially the lady at the front, have GREAT customer service. After she swipes you credit card, she says" Put your card away" that is extremely thoughtful, and shows great awareness. Will return often“
“What a great experience with amazingly fresh foods we had at Sal and Son's Seafood. Everything is so fresh, delicious, and exceptional! Owner and employees are very friendly as well! We came here twice during our short trip, and it made our experience in Maryland extra special . Highly recommend!!“
“So I will start off by saying I had a very lovely, helpful service. But I do have mixed reviews about how I feel about this place.Things I liked:1) They had so many gluten-free broths. The mushroom broth was flavorful and fantastic. You did not need to add any sauces2) The staff was well educated and helpful through the whole process3) The food that was thawed was fantastic and tastyThings I was unsure about1) the set up was a little odd. The meat and seafood come proportioned. I liked this due to ease of grabbing, but some had too much, and I felt like I was wasting it. The trays were also too big for the portion of food that was in it, so it was awkward to carry back.2) Some of the seafood was frozen on the shelves. This should not have happened and was off putting3) The spoons to catch all your soup you need to grab yourself. I didn't see it at first, and it made it slightly challenging to eat.4) I asked the waitress if the oysters were safe to eat raw, and she said she did not know. I really do appreciate the honesty, but I thought it was odd to have oysters that can't be consumed raw when in the shell.Things I did not like:1) I went for lunch on Saturday. Yes, the food was good overall. The service was good, but most places do a lunch special, and they do not. For $31.99 a meal, I felt like this was kind of high for the selection that they had.2) I went for lunch, it was not crowded in the resturant (yes I know this sounds good) but I can't image how overcrowded their small food grabbing area must get when a lot of people are in the resturant.3) The parking lot was a little odd, and then getting into the restaurant, you went through what looked like a mall food court. It was different.Overall, I did have a good experience. Would I go back again, probably not due to cost and how the layout was. Do I think I got my moneys worth? Debatable.Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options.“
“My boyfriend and I had the most wonderful valentines dinner last night at Citron. From the second we walked in we felt so welcomed. The atmosphere was classy yet comfortable and the food was amazing. Great service! We will most definitely be back again!“
“These wings are really good. Very very tasty. Great variety of flavors, with very solid prices as well, 10 wings for $13.The guy working the register is extremely friendly, and he has just excellent service. I would go back just for him.The interior is not very good, very basic, and there are only 2 tables with 2 chairs each. But most of the clientele gets to go anyways.Vegetarian options: Every item on the menu is chicken or seafood. If you're a pescatarian you'd be fine.“
“The food is amazing and the owners are the sweetest people 100% recommend to all, you will not be disappointed ordered a good amount of food and they are quick with getting it out to you. Overall give this business a try! You will not be let down!“
“Food was great and the atmosphere made the night even more enjoyable. Expect to spend a lot but in my experience, the food was worth it. Our waitress did NOT provide us with 18% worth of gratuity (But policy gave it to her automatically). In fact, her service was sub standard. We have had much MUCH better service at our local diner back home. Other then her, everyone else was pleasent and attentive, and if it wasn't for that, our waitress alone wouldve reduced the stars from 4 to 3.“
“I have always only gotten crabs at j and t seafood but they were closed so I decided try this place based on reviews. I ordered 2 dozen large steamed crabs for 7:00 pm, Saturday night. Got there at 6:55 and was greeted by Nelbis (I hope I spelled his name right). Very friendly, food was already packed to go steaming hot, and when I got home, every crab was large and the seasoning was just right, not too salty and not too little. Definitely coming back here again!“
“Andrew, the manager, really made my client feel special, celebrating the recent sale of his property. Client was impressed with the customized menu acknowledging the closing. Food was superb, as always. We had the charred Octopus and braised lamb chops as appetizers and the stuffed lobster with crabmeat and the red snapper as entrees/ both delicious / the service was equally outstanding and assisted in making our dining experience very memorable“
“I have been eyeing this place for a while since I've been on the hunt for really good tonkatsu meals. It was one of the handful to pop up as a recommendation for the Ellicott area. I'm proud to say that I've found it-- the best tonkatsu restaurant. The waiter was very nice and attentive, and it paired well with the calm ambiance. There's pretty lights and seating. It was not busy at all when we visited but I hope in the future it will get a lot more popular-- because this place is such a golden find! We ordered the tonkatsu (pork cutlet) with curry, the chicken katsu curry, and takoyaki balls! The breading in the meat was so crispy, and the meat was plentiful, with good ratio. There was no fat pieces found in any of our meals. The food was also cooled to an edible temperature that you could consume once it was served! The curry comes on the side in a large cup, ensuring your meat does not get soggy. Overall, very affordable and it has satisfied my search for best tonkatsu at an affordable price with great service Please visit Karè Bar!“
“We get takeout, seldom dine in. The pizza is made to order and is ready when they say it will be. Very friendly staff and they do appreciate it when you tip. Pizza is very good and that says something as I am a transplanted New Yorker who knows what the best pizza is reallylike!“
“I have the best times at this store. Not only is the baked fish and shrimp awesome,(I get the Cajun spice ) but 2 people are great. Especially Sujon and Jeniyah are half the reason I come here. They give me menu ideas and excellent service. Keep up the good work!!“
