Made reservations on open table, listed a special occasion (anniversary). There are several good reviews on yelp about this place, so we wanted to check it out. Upon arrival, the hostess said there wasn't any available seating. We waited. Ambience couldn't be worse. We finally got sat, in the corner, next to the kitchen door and heard dishes clanking all night. Waiter seemed annoyed that we didn't order alcoholic beverages, my coke wasn't refilled until I requested it at the end of dinner. We ordered the broiled scallops and a steamed seafood bucket. The food was mid at best. The blue crabs were medium and watery, half the clams and mussel shells didn't fully open and the scallops were fairly small. It wasn't a good representation of Baltimore seafood.
The restaurant died down as we finished our food, but we still had to flag down our server to get our check. Our table wasn't bussed once until we got the check. I used to serve and I can confidently say there was just a lack of awareness in customer relationship management. When we got our bill, I saw an automatic gratuity was already added for a party of two, which is probably why there was a lack of desire to go above and beyond.
A side note that doesn't necessarily have to do with the restaurant: When we left the restaurant, the sun was going down and my wife and I started walking back to our car got hounded by a drunk homeless lady who proceeded to say "I'm going to get a bottle and crack it in half and slit someone's throat." She looked my wife dead in the eyes and said "Maybe it'll be you!" We walked by her and she threw her cup at us then she proceeded to walk in the middle of the road and screamed to the top of her lungs. This area was clearly gentrified and Yelp listing this as the Inner Harbor is very misleading. I'm from Maryland, I rep Old Bay all day...Baltimore is the Charm City and there was nothing charming about our special night.
