Wit & Wisdomgreat food, service and atmosphereWe thoroughly enjoyed the dinner. It was a great choice for a Mother' Day dinner. Nice views of the water, clubby setting of the restaurant, great food and service. Prices were high but not too crazy by standards of an evening out. One complaint: a very pricey wine list. We were fortunate that the restaurant has a Sunday night half-price bottle special.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMuch improvedThe menu and food quality were much improved over our last visit 2 months ago. Although the open kitchen top still looks a bit cluttered the kitchen staff appears vastly better organized. And their product is excellent. We will be back.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic!This is a "best kept secret" located in the Four Seasons hotel. I was so impressed by the quality and presentation of the food that I plan to go back again and again! It was my daughter's 23rd birthday and they made her feel so special by not only providing a special dessert with a birthday candle, but they gave her a hand-written birthday card that all the staff signed. Who does that?!!!! It was so incrediably special to both of us5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMVery good but expensive!This was my first time going to WIt and Wisdom. I wasn't expecting much because I don't often hold restaurants inside of hotels in the highest regard. I was very pleasantly surprised by all facets of our meal. The staff was very helpful, the food was inventive and delicious, and both the inside and outside were beautiful.
We had the fried scallops, beef tartare, rockfish, and crab cake. The scallops were probably my favorite part of the meal. The only downside was that it was slightly more expensive than I would have expected. I would definitely go back but just for special occasions!5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMBon Appetite! A dinner to RememberArriving at a boistrous bar scene, there was a little trepedation concerning the noise level, but we were escorted past the chefs to the back of the restaurant to a quiet cul de sac with a fantastic view of the harbor. The other tables were at an adequate distance for the three of us to indulge in active conversation - everyone enjoyed their choice - Ishared the lobster with my former apprentice, now friend, Helen, an RN from DC and my very good friend from West Virginia, Denise Poole who was a well satisfied vegetarian. She enjoyed 3 vegetable entrees - we all indulged in the braised Romaine lettuce - and vowed to copy the recipe when home. The coup de grace was when I shied away from the dessert list-the chef designed a divine assortmen4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMthe yogurt and fruit saladthe yogurt and fruit salad were worth the price of the brunch. Wonderful.4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMWhat a surpriseExcellent execution and presentation of food. More umami than I have tasted in years! Service by waiters is a bit uneven; however, the captains more than make up for that. During happy hour the place is noisy. I was shocked at how much I enjoyed my experience.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMOverall, my friends & I enjoyedOverall, my friends & I enjoyed drinks and dinner at Wit & Wisdom. The atmosphere & food were great. The bartenders & one cocktail waitress were wonderful. There were, however, two cocktail waitresses that were incredibly inattentive and rude. After my pregnant friend repeatedly asked for water, the waitress finally returned and slammed down the {warm} water in front of her. In addition another guest sitting next to us on the couch must have been an employee, as she occupied most of the servers' attention with chatting & giggling. That guest actually mocked my friends & I when we ordered, & the waitresses laughed it off, creating an awkward and uncomfortable vibe. Fortunately our dinner in the restaurant was fantastic with top service.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMTop B'more restaurantGreat meal! Everything was plated beautiful! Very interesting cocktails, mine was garnished with rose petals. Desserts were fantastic - unlike anything I've ever had.

great food!
wine list was lacking by the glass-very limited4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMThe bar area is really wellThe bar area is really well laid out well and it has cozy couches and chairs to sit and relax with a drink. I felt the bar area was a little slow on the service. Beautiful views of the harbor. Julie the sommelier really knows her wines and made some great suggestions. All four of us had the Lobster Pot Pie and the Oysters. The food was outstanding, agreed by all. The service could not have been better, Todd did a wonderful job taking care of us.The prices I thought were average with any fine dining restaurant. You can keep it reasonable or you can go out with their great wine list. I would highly recommend this restaurant and if you have a client you want to impress, this is the place.4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMHit or MissThe food was hit or miss; somethings were extraordinary, something were just ok. The pork belly and bone marrow appetizers were excellent. The cabbage that was served with the rock fish was out of this world. Everything else was just ok and very overpriced. The pork shoulder in particular was much too sweet, so sweet I didn't need dessert.
We were there celebrating an anniversary and they left us a hand signed note. Very nice touch.4/7/2013 12:00:00 AMVery cool place, energeticVery cool place, energetic atmosphere, excellent food, and top notch service.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMWit and wisdom by far is theWit and wisdom by far is the most reliable and service friendly restaurant in the baltimore business district.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways an experience to savorAlways an experience to savor with service, food and presentation hitting the mark every time. I always look forward to these visits with great anticipation and back on them with great pleasure. Staff is especially helpful in dealing with severe food intolerances, explaining changes that can be made to accommodate special dietary requirements.4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat view and superb service.Great view and superb service. The food was very good, although my NY strip was on the fatty and chewy side. Others at my table loved their crab cakes and their Rock Fish. All the food is a la carte so be prepared to pay about $ pp without alcoholic drinks or wine. All in all though, well worth it. An excellent place to impress out of towners as well.
Food is prepared in an open kitchen, which is nice.4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMLove everythng about Wit &Love everythng about Wit & Wisdom.

I highly recommend this restaurant.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMI went to Wit & Wisdom forI went to Wit & Wisdom for Saturday breakfast with my family. My sister and I debated on whether to take advantage of the breakfast buffet or order off the menu. Our waiter, who was fantastic, recommended that we take advantage of the buffet since there would be more options available; so we went with that. They offered a wide variety of choices that were tasty, but the quality of some of the items were less than expected. The pancakes and the assortment of pastries were dry, but that's the nature of leaving bread products out for customers to take at leisure. I will definitely return to Wit & Wisdom. Their buffet is supremely better than other buffet restaurants, but I'll order off their menu next time.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMAfter several times at theAfter several times at the bar we finally had dinner and the food was very good.

One of the best meals I've had in a while. Everyone at our table loved our meals (especially the beef tartar and lobster pot pie). The drink menu is outstanding and the view is fantastic - you can see all of the harbor! Loved it!3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food and excellent service!Great food and excellent service! Uncomfortably cold section of the restaurant!3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMWe just went for lunch butWe just went for lunch but have been for dinner. Wit and Wisdom is one of the nicest places in the Baltimore Washington area. The menu is clever and oh so well presented. The service is knowledgable and charming. The decor is a mix of classic American, stunning harbor view, and modern art.3/10/2013 12:00:00 AMMemorable Evening!We celebrated our son's 29th birthday at Wit & Wisdom along with his wife. It was a very memorable evening....the food was outstanding and the little touches made such a difference...greeting us when we first arrived and saying Happy Birthday to our son (they knew it was his birthday since I mentioned it on Open Table), having a birthday card signed by the staff at the table when we sat down and bringing out a complimentary birthday dessert with a lit candle! It was a delightful evening!3/8/2013 12:00:00 AMQuite good food. Great view.We enjoyed our dinner at Wit and Wisdom. We had a window-side table with a great view of the harbor area -- very nice -- I'd recommend requesting in when you make a reservation. The food was good -- some comfort foods with a twist -- like lobster pot pie that's partially prepared tableside. Great mac and cheese, too. The prices are slightly high, but it's in a high-rent district so it wasn't surprising. I'd recommend it for special occasions or for cocktails at the bar. Not a good choice for kids.3/2/2013 12:00:00 AMWe did the 8 PM New Year'sWe did the 8 PM New Year's Eve package. THe five course meal was excellent--all winners.
