   Reserved for dinner ahead of event at Hippodrome theatre. Menu has been severely reduced since my last visit. Cocktails and burgers were fine. Would have liked to watched something other than ESPN but it appeared there were issues with broadcast stations.

   Calamari was terrible. So rubbery and chewy. Crab toast had lots of jumbo lump crab but was bland. Fries were okay. Crab soup was good! Salmon and chicken on the kale salads was not good. Menu was sooo tiny (burger, crab cake, fettuccine were the only entree choices!). We ordered a bottle of rosé which posed a challenge as they only had one type of bottle of rosé which was listed by the glass… this caused confusion for the server and apparently the bar. They agreed to “let” us buy the bottle for the price of 4x the glasses. Usually when you buy a bottle of wine it is less than the 4x glass cost! Overall really disappointing and nothing like pre-pandemic B&O experiences.

   Small menu ergo a lot of attention paid to each dish. All of the food was just wonderful, high quality ingredients, and fresh. Their crème brûlée was hands down the best I have ever had. The tiramisu gave it a run for its money.

   While the wait staff was very enthusiastic and helpful, I have to say that $18 for the burger I received was not a good value. The burger was very small and thin - like a burger from Five Guys or something. The toppings and the bun were great, but the burger itself got lost in the bun and toppings.

   Longtime customers before the Pandemic. Unfortunately, it now is not a place we would return to after this experience. Food was poorly prepared and the ambiance was spartan. The service was good though.

   Met a friend here for dinner. Had an excellent crab cake, almost no filler just big pieces of crab. Highly recommend the espresso crème brûlée it was outstanding. Nice ambience, although the music was loud and made it hard to carry on a conversation. Good service overall. Be prepared to pay $11 for valet parking if you decide to go that route.

   I truly enjoyed the mood here and and the service, however, the food could of been better. My friend ordered a steak meal and it looked very burnt. Not even appealing. She sent that back and they bought her out a crab cake meal but it was burnt. The crab cake meal I had was made just right. The appetizer was burnt as well. Overall the experience was nice. The server was very pleasant.

    I want to preface my review to say, I think they were short-staffed -- like every place these days. Really small menu -- again, probably because of staffing issues. There were four of us -- food came out at different times; two that had salads came out first; then 10 minutes later a sandwich; and then 10 minutes later my burger came out. Food was okay. I'd try it again, but not for a while.

    My issue is that the menu that is online does not match what is at the restaurant. We would not have even made the reservation had we known those menu items weren’t listed. It’s a very small menu and limited I understand the pandemic but menu should be updated online it’s false advertisement none of the items on the menu online are at the restaurant. The service was great that’s all I can really say. Management needs to fix that your setting the staff up for failure the waiter said that multiple customers brought up my issue as well. So why isn’t it fixed?

    Sadly, the menus online aren’t accurate at the moment. It’s presumably due to the pandemic, but it would’ve been nice to know in advance that their current menu is so limited. That being said, the crab cake sandwich was solid, and the caesar solid ROCKED. My cocktail was nice. It was pretty empty when we came in, but as it got later the dining room filled up, and service suffered from there. Not to say our server wasn’t friendly or anything, he just wasn’t around much.

    My daughter and I came for brunch before going to see “Wicked.” And I’d stayed at the Kimpton Monaco hotel in Seattle the week before; wanted to give the company my business. Everything about our experience was impeccable: The service was excellent and so was the food. Prices were extremely reasonable and the portions were huge! My daughter had a breakfast sandwich and I had the Chesapeake omelette which had crab, bacon, asparagus and cheese, topped with hollandaise. The roasted potatoes served with our meals were delicious. Even the toast that came with my omelette was over the top! We also enjoyed our Bloody Marys. I can’t wait to go back!!!

    Nice place to eat. Service was excellent. What was billed as a "filet mignon" special tasted more like a flank steak in slices, I believe. Still tasty. Crispy mushroom side is outstanding.

    Our server Dominic made this experience wonderful. He was very personable and knowledgeable about menu items and very welcoming and friendly. We had the charcuterie plate and on his recommendation I tried the catfish and grits which was melt-in-the-mouth flavorful just a hint of heat as he had extolled it. My dining companion had the steak frites and the steak was perfectly done with plenty of frites to go around. The raspberry sorbet was a perfect dessert to finish off with and bursting with raspberry flavor. We ate upstairs which was warmer and a bit quieter than the bar area downstairs

    Unremarkable brunch options at above-average prices. Service was pleasant but sparse. A bit of delay in getting seated at the time the table was reserved. The location is very convenient to the Baltimore Convention Center, though, making it a good option for anyone who doesn't want to take taxis long distances.

    My dinner was delicious but my wife had the Prime Rib and said it was cold. Plus, it took forever to get our food. Wonder if the kitchen was backed up. We arrived early for our reservation and were told our table would be ready but I think they forgot about us because our friends showed up and the hostess said we had already been seated. Not sure if I will go back. Too many hiccups. I put Yes that I would recommend but with reservations.

    Plan to spend 3 hours on dinner, not because you ordered 5 courses but because the service is extremely slow. Make sure you know what you want before the server comes or good luck getting him back. Food was good but not worth the wait.

    We ordered wine by the glass and at $15.00 per glass the glass was less than 1/2 full. I ordered steak and fries the steak was very tough. We had to track the waiter down for salt and pepper. Several years ago we ate upstairs and this time we were seated down stairs, what a stark difference in atmosphere, which was dark, cold and open. I felt like we were eating in an unfinished basement.

    Conveniently located near the Baltimore Convention Center in a charming historic hotel, this restaurant falls short. Most importantly, the food is thoroughly mediocre. We were there for brunch; you needed imagination to taste the crab meat in their signature chesapeake omelette - -it was dry and boring, and the coffee was notably bad. The service was friendly but not easy to get despite the restaurant being quite empty; the server was gracious in responding to our request to lower the volume of the music.

    I'd like to write a more enthusiastic review for this restaurant, but our experience there this past weekend was a mixed bag. Our server was attentive, but it seemed like the kitchen was rather slow. We waited 45 minutes for our soup and salad, and it wasn't a particularly busy night. All of the food we had was good to very good, and arrived hot, but the pace of service could have been faster. The layout of the restaurant is not ideal if you are seated on the lower level , as the front door lets cold air in on most of the tables. Our meals were solid, and we'd return to the restaurant, but it's not our top choice.
