    Our server Hamza was above and beyond wonderful. We had a reservation but arrived early and was sat with no problem. We ordered the shrimp dip that came with fresh bread. It was good but very thick due to tons of cheese. It can’t sit long. Our meals were hot a very good. We had the lobster Mac and cheese, grilled chicken and substituted for the corn and the fried trio consisting of a crab cake, fish and shrimp. The corn was very fresh. It was a great meal.

    I used to love Phiilips, but unfortunately was disappointed during my most recent visit. The cream of crab soup was good, but could have used more seasoning. The shrimp and scallops were very good, but portions were small for the price. My husband enjoyed his crab cake, but again it was very expensive for one small crabcake. We both thought the mashed potatoes and asparagus lacked salt/seasoning. There were no salt shakers on the table either. It wasn't particularly busy for a Sunday evening but it felt like we barely saw our server. Overall, I've had equally as good seafood with better service at a lower price elsewhere. This will no longer be a must-have meal when we visit Inner Harbor.

    The food was good, although pricier than its quality and the restaurant's atmosphere warranted. The noise level is moderately high, even though we were seated near the back, in a booth with plexiglass baffles between tables.

    First and last time visiting this restaurant order a dozen of male crabs and oyster on the half shell , This is Baltimore where was the old Bay? Who put melted butter and chives on crabs? The crabs was very light and hardly to no meat in them,but y'all charge $90.00 for water down crabs... the oyster wasn't that good neither. Our waitress was very friendly and offer us something else....

    Prices as expected for a high quality seafood establishment. Unfortunately, the prices have held to this standard, but the food quality has not. Processed crab and lobster that sat so long under a heat lamp that it was dry and flakey. Not a good representation.

    I always make a point to visit this location when I travel to Baltimore. I was disappointed. The restaurant needs a thorough cleaning. The bar was dusty and dirty. The mirrors need cleaning and the lack of organization is bad. We sat in the bar area for happy hour. The food was just average and the drinks are below average. I would not recommend this location.

    Phillips Seafood has a fabulous reputation for a reason! Amazing service, Rebecca, brewed fresh coffee for my daughter at 1:30 pm! The crab dip was amazingly creamy with SO much crab, and the French bread was also great! I also loved my three item broiled meal. Salmon, crab cake and shrimp with mashed potatoes and asparagus!! Great value, as well!

    We were dining out early for dinner with our almost 2 year old after spending several hours at the aquarium. Our waitress was so nice and accommodating and understood we desired to be “in and out”. She was very sweet with our son and we appreciated her kind and prompt service. Crab cakes and broiled platter were delicious, so were the mashed potatoes.

He was polite, knowledgeable about the best food on the menu, and attentive without being intrusive. I can’t say enough about how great he was. The food was delicious. Thanks to everyone at Phillips!! ❤️

    Both the food and service were very good. The overall restaurant was chaotic and messy. At one point there were deliveries being walked through the dining room. If you are going I highly recommend you make a reservation. There were lots of people waiting for tables and a lot of empty tables. I think they are short staffed. We were seated right away with a reservation. Overall it was just ok. Not sure if I will go back soon.

    The waitstaff were fantastic! A real treasure to Philips. However the host and his crew were rude, belligerent and I had to pronounce my last name 4 x and spell it 3 times. None of the time did they get it correct and it’s a fairly common last name. Food was way overpriced - sadly Red Lobster would be better

    It’s been 17 yrs since I last visited this restaurant so I had to bring my husband here to experience the best lump crab cakes. We both thoroughly enjoyed the Ultimate Crab Cake dinner and had the bread pudding for desert, I highly recommend this place. Onye was our waiter and he was very attentive.

    I was looking forward to trying this restaurant. However, when we walked in the smell of fish was so strong. We sat down and the smell got worse. Unfortunately, it was so bad we had to leave. The smell turned my stomach and I would never order seafood/fish here and feel it was safe to eat.
