   We had an excellent dinner. We were celebrating the birthdays of my two sons and I was impressed that the waitress was aware of this and brought us a special dessert. The dining room was less than full due to the corona virus. I am very happy we were able to get there before the mandatory shutdown.

   We had an incredible time! We celebrated my wife's successful dissertation defense and birthday. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was lovely, and the La Cuchara team is super kind. La Cuchara also helped celebrate with a surprise birthday dessert and a dissertation dessert wine. If you are looking to splurge on an excellent night out, La Cuchara is the place to go!

   La Cuchara is a terrific restaurant. A lot of choices. We split 2 small plates; 2 medium plates and one entree. Our server was excellent, available but not obtrusive. I would recommend to anyone.

   Outstanding, I will admit I was at best hesitant about eating here but I was not disappointed at all. Everything was amazing, we started with Charcuterie Board - portions and selections were delicious. Husband had Rockfish and I stuck with small bites. I thought about this meal all day today, so yummy. We will be back. The place is a bit noisy but is very cozy and warm for a cold night.

   We had a reservation right at 5 o'clock when they open. The service was amazing, they were very helpful in going through the menu, the drinks were great, and the food and dessert were great! I was also really impressed with the level of noise (not a lot!) Would definitely go here again!

    La Cuchara Is a very interesting restaurant and in a good way; finding the place is a little tricky because the roadways to get there seem one-way but the signs point the same direction as oncoming traffic. However, when you drive over the wooden bridge it just gives this feeling of traveling into a new world. Upon entry into the restaurant the door had a lot of hand prints and for the type of food being provided... The place should definitely have a clean front door but the hostess made up for it with her exceptional level of hospitality. We were seated at a two person table ( Which was too small for our tasting of bites / apps. As we sat down we were offered tap or sparkling and that was a nice touch. (Water refills were not as aggressive as I hoped them to be but most restaurants make you ask for your choice of water and it was offered here) The menu layout was great but a little overwhelming. It left me needing to asking a ton of questions about the menu and we ended up ordering a plethora of items out of " not knowing or understanding " What was there". Ultimately, we ordered two cheeses but my Significant Other was allergic to pork so we couldn't order any of the meats - We ended up ordering two smaller bites, fish similar to a ceviche like substance, and wood fired trout. Overall, all of it was beyond exceptional - The cheeses were a little on the wild side as far as the taste ( Something that would pair really well with wine but not as a regular snack. Now back to the service, we mentioned to the server that my GF was allergic to pork and something was given to us that had pork (Server should've remembered and the servers should always be asking for allergies at the tables) The person walking around asking if everyone was okay was a little raw on the service side but other than that everything was fine. GF ordered strip steak and I ordered a beef arraignment 10/10 on food. Service needs some fixing and attire is too relaxed but I would highly recommend this.

    I was there with two friends, celebrating one's birthday, and our waitress thoughtfully brought some complimentary bubbly as we had dessert. That capped what had already been a lovely evening. The food is wonderfully authentic and flavorful, the ambience is warm and inviting, if loud, and you feel very much as though you're in a special place.

    I'd give it another chance because we were limited to a pre fixed menu for vqlentines day but overall the food was just very average. For $100 a person we all left very disappointed.

    Went there for Valentines' day dinner - so perhaps the fixed price menu was a bit ambitious for La Cuchara, but the 5 course meal was so overly salted (for both of us) it destroyed what should have been a reasonably good meal. I've been to La Cuchara several times, and while the food is moderately good the other visits, this experience was so negative that I felt obligated to review.

    We had a great experience. It was Valentine's Day so the restaurant offered a fixed price, five course menu with limited selections - which made complete sense on such a busy evening. Overall, we had a wonderful dinner. The portions were much larger than we anticipate. The food was fresh and very tasty. We had excellent service with attention from about 10 restaurant staff members. We love this restaurant.

    Head chef, Ben and his brother Jake really make the entire experience of this restaurant. My wife and I were there for Valentine's Day. No doubt I tough night to get everything right. Not a problem for this team though. Some chef's, as they gain notoriety, feel it necessary to escalate price to nose bleed levels. Not Ben - price is extremely fair for the value of the amazing flavor of this food. I will return again and again. Another thing - as they sat tables around me - you heard the server ask if this was their 1st time at La Cuchara. Everyone I heard answer that question was return customers. That says a lot. Thanks Ben and Jake!

    I love La Cuchara. We went to celebrate my birthday and the service was fantastic. Everything I have ordered has been delicious and I will definitely return to try more menu items. The cocktail and wine list is great as well. Some of the best cocktails I've had in Baltimore. The flavor combinations were excellent for both of our entrees. You can never go wrong with the steak. The desert menu looked delicious; I highly recommend the churros.

    We LOVE to dine out, & we’re fortunate enough to be able to do it quite a lot. I have to say that our recent dinner at La Cuchara was one the best meals I’ve eaten ever! There were four of us in the group and we each got something different, and then we sampled each other’s choices, and we all loved all of the main courses. We were going to get appetizers, but the homemade breads and butter were so delicious (& free!) that we ate them all, and didn’t have space for appetizers. We DID sample a couple of the desserts, & they were to die for! Even the coffee & cappuccino were great. We’ve been here lots of times & brought our kids and grandkids and friends, and they all loved it! The wait staff were also lovely - there when you wanted them, lots of on-spot suggestions & recommendations! Yea la Cuchara!

    Really REALLY loud. Our conversations were mostly impossible amongst the group. With two vegans and one vegetarian in the group (specified beforehand), there weren’t many options for vegans. We were underwhelmed by the food. The atmosphere was pretty good but again, we couldn’t hear each other at all. Very nice to bring a birthday dessert but it was brought to the birthday girl after she was a few bites into her dessert she’d already ordered so it wasn’t eaten. All in all, not too impressed but maybe we’ll give it another shot some other time. Last time we were here was over a year ago and we were underwhelmed but hopefully better things are coming.
