   I was visiting from ATL for the weekend with friends and we were excited to visit B.O.B because of the experience we had at B.O.M only to be disappointed. From the quality of the food to staff everything lacked when compared to Mia. We were seated by the hostess but was not greeted by our waitress for another 25 min, it took me going to to the hostess stand asking her for assistance for us to finally be noticed. When our waitress finally came she was the bartender helping out because B.O.B is short staffed and while Nita (lovely lady) did her best she was being torn between being a bartender and a server which meant we were left to wait even longer (not her fault). The food lacked in taste and quality… it wasn’t flavorful. Three out of 5 ppl sent their meals back bc the food wasn’t palatable. Two cocktails were rejected bc they were sugar filled. Overall I wish success for this new location but significant improvement is needed. The bar needs to be raised with an emphasis of being held to the Bar One Mia standards. I can’t say that I wont visit Bar One just not the Bmore location because significant improvement is needed.

   It's not worth the price at all. I went with my cousins and it might have been the worse meal we have ever paid for. Grossly over priced. We had the jerk snapper. The fish wasn't properly cleaned as it still had the scales on the fish. They order the cabbage/collard green mix as a side. This might have been the worst thing we ate. The greens were burnt, dry, and the mix had no cabbage. There was more turkey meat than anything. My other cousin had the fried snapper that came with shrimp and ordered spinach as their side. Both the snapper and shrimp were clearly cooked from frozen. The fried fish was crispy. The side of spinach never came out. I had the lamb chops and truffle fries as a side. The lamb might be the most overpriced item on the menu. $60 for the smallest "lollipop" lamb chops I've ever seen. I order them to be cooked medium. They were burnt and well done inside. I sent them back and they made me a new order that was supposed to be "medium" but they were still well done and burnt. The truffle fries were ok but we're cold, certainly not worth $15 at all. The drinks we ordered were the best thing but they took forever to come out. They had two servers for the entire restaurant! One host that was being pulled to do everything. Other were leaving because it was taking so long for their food and drinks to come out. They claim to have a dress code but almost all of the staff were wearing items that went against the dress code. At one point the entire kitchen were just standing around talking like they had nothing to do. We finally got our check after waiting about 25 minutes. On the check we notice that the server put my lamb chop temp as well done instead of medium, like I had requested. Don't waste your time, energy, or money here. It's not worth it at all.

   This restaurant was such a disappointment. I hosted a party for 12 people. The food didn't come out for 2 hours. When it finally came out, it was overcook, to the point that no one could eat it. This was so embarrassing. To ask family members and friends to meet all the way in Baltimore for a dinner party and half of the menu was sold out. This was so sad

   Do not go to this place!!!! I rsvp for my husband 47th Birthday Dinner. They did not have half the appetizers that we wanted from the menu. Once we placed our appetizer order we asked our waiter how long will it be. The waiter stated she wasn't sure. 30 mins had gone by no appetizers. So we decided to leave theventree probably would have been a disappointment as well!!! So we went to "Oceanaire Seafood" which was around the corner. It was amazing 5 stars!! Glad we were able to celebrate 🍾 my husband birthday after all the disappointment of "BarOne". To the owner, please Get it Together Mr Peter & hire quality kitchen staff. We will NOT be coming back!!!

   Our waitress name was Asia. She was delightful and experienced regarding the menu. I had expressed to her that I'd saw the reviews and that they weren't to good. However I'm a Foodie and have to make my own decisions. I told her that I needed my food HOT. Orderes and score out of 5 🍉 (5 meaning est): 🍉🍉🍉🍉Crab stuffed Salmon over risotto - it was HOT and great. Just missing the Spicy taste that I read about in the reviews and I didn't have enough stuffed crab. The crab settled in the top of one corner of my Salmon. I should add that the Yellow SAUCE was delicious but I needed more for taste. Salmon was cooked to profession. 🍉🍉🍉🍉Curry Chicken over white rice with plantains 😍on the side - Let's say this, there was Nooooo talking coming from the person that was eating it. 4🍉 needed more sauce to cover all of the rice. Big chunks of meat which was enjoyable to ea. (Happy that it wasn't a whole/half chicken with just sauce.) We shared the THE COLLARDS & CABBAGE AMAZINGGGGG. Texture was great. The flavors were spicy and delicious. Asia our waitress did advise us to not share our side but to get our own. I wished I had listened to her. Okay what you should know about the Bill: Items ordered- Taxes - Service Fee- (20%) which is shared with the waitress- kitchen and Bar ( I actually 💙 this because the kitchen never gets tips / yes I do know that the make ALOT OF MONEY) -Additional Tip:You can give your waitress he/she their own tip which goes to him/her as we did in cash. Oh I almost forget the Food presentation gets 🍉🍉🍉🍉.... Thanks for the experience.

   Improve on your hospitality. Food and Beverage Manager needs to improve on the inventory (only one snapper for an individual person and the night had not started). The bartender and waitress were very good.

   It took a little long to get to us but the food and drinks were very good. There was a "service charge" on our bill that was not the tip or gratuity. They should explain that. Well lit and decorated. 4 out of 5 stars.

    Beautiful, upscale, and cozy atmosphere. Music was "a whole vibe". Friendly staff. Delicious food choices. Celebrity owner Peter was present, interacted with patrons and even took the time to take some photos. Love, love the artwork photographs and decor throughout the building. Will be calling back to get the photographer or artist name. Prices reasonable for the portions, and quality of service. Would definitely recommend checking this place out. Nice for group outings. You will enjoy.

    I had a great experience at Bar One Baltimore. My waitress was Royelle, she treated me like a birthday queen! I would definitely request her whenever I go back. The entire experience from walking in the front door until the time we left was excellent, it was a whole vibe. The only recommendation that I will make is that Peter add a sweet wine to the menu.

    The ambiance and service were wonderful, but that is about it. The food was overpriced and not tasty. All of the dishes were very salty and the portions are small compared to the prices. Our side dishes came out about 15 minutes before our entree so that was getting cold while waiting. And many items were not available on the menu. $25 for a piece of carrot cake and $30 for appetizer wings is quite extreme, especially since we were not wowed by the flavor! I felt like they nickel and dime every piece of the experience. There is a 20% service fee to all checks and our waitress said that was not her tip. Would definitely not go back for the food. They need better kitchen management so the food comes out together and you are not waiting.

    The food and drinks are extremely overpriced. Just because you are a celebrity owner doesn’t mean the average Joe can afford this place. Only go here if you have a show on BET, A business owner or trying to impress your date. We had two appetizers and two regular sugar drinks and the bill was over $100 dollars for basic food.

    The restaurant was really nice and met my expectations. The cost was a little pricey for brunch BUT the portions were good and the food was tasty. The Mac and cheese was one of my favs. I really enjoyed the ambiance - the music was amazing. I will definitely eat there when I visit Baltimore again.

    Our server name was Khrah Hill, she was very Knowledgeable of the menu. She talked about how her family was from the west Indies, the different spices that are in the foods. She gave five star service, the food was very good. The only problem we had was the service charge, I believe it’s unfair and not just to the customer but to the server. Why are we the customer tipping the back house… Seems as though we weren’t the only ones in the restaurant that also had this discrepancy when it came to check. Other than that it was a wonderful experience now if I should come back again, I don’t know. Khyrah was worthy of that service charge, but instead I had to tip her on top of a service charge. Thanks #TeamBcpsMs.Arnold

    I enjoyed every bit of my experience at BAR ONE. Everyone was professional and gave exceptional service. My waitress Kyrah was the BEST. She was friendly and gave great recommendations since it was our first time. The drinks were amazing. Black Panther was my favorite. My food was delicious. Bartenders service was unmatched. Love the ambiance and it was a whole positive experience.

    I anxiously awaited the opening of this restaurant. As a lover of Caribbean fare, I didn’t expect this restaurant to disappoint, bc the owner is Caribbean. I finally had the chance to take my best friend there for her bday. We arrived a little early, so we decided to sit at the bar. Our bartender was clearly inexperienced & made our drinks poorly. Furthermore, our drinks required a straw. She didn’t present our drinks with a straw or napkin. I ordered a Mojito, but they didn’t have any mint. My best friend ordered a martini, but the bartender was too busy chatting with the staff to prepare that in less than 20 min.When our table was ready, we were disappointed to find that this seemingly upscale restaurant had a cafeteria style dining area with extremely hard seats. Clearly, no investment had been made and the decor or the overall experience. Our waitress was a very nice young lady, but an inept server. She forgot things several times & did not assure us that our food was coming when it took way longer than expected. I had the lobster tail pasta… The lobster was chewy. My best friend had the penne pasta with jerk chicken,but that was only bc they didn’t have the whole fried snapper that was on the menu. The jerk chicken did not taste authentic. For dessert, she had the rum cake. Which appeared to be strawberry shortcake. However, it was rum cake. Although, we had mentioned that the rum cake wasn’t good, the waitress did not offer another option or to remove it from the check. It took 40 min to get the dessert. After a less than satisfactory dining experience, I paid the bill… But noticed discrepancies in the pricing online vs what I have been charged. I did inform one of the managers and he noted it on his iPhone with a handshake… Again, no immediate consolation… just the offer of a free glass of wine on our next visit. Neither of us will be back. The patrons were loud & casually dressed… We’re talking flip-flops. No departure greeting from the hostess.
