    This is now my favorite spot in Baltimore. The food was incredible (crab dip is a must, the best I have had) and the bartenders were stellar. Ted was great - friendly and knowledgeable. We loved the experience, it is a truly special place. The only thing that happened at the start, which was a bit off putting, was when we were checking in. I was speaking to someone at the host stand and had already given my name for the reservation when a man barged into the conversation and loudly said "let me see what we have available" as if he assumed we didn't have a reservation already. He didn't greet us and it came off extremely rude to us (and the employee we were speaking to at the time). Thankfully, we ended up sitting at the bar and thoroughly enjoying everything. Still, driving home I reflected on that initial experience and wondered about why he behaved that way- and made the assumption that we did not have a reservation already. It definitely gave a vibe that wasn't welcoming. It was inconsistent with the rest of the experience and worth addressing.

    The staff there's always so helpful when you ask about a coctails flavor. Always great service. The staff all seem to communicate well with one another. Highly recommend.

    Overall we - two couples - had a wonderful time and meal at Dutch Courage. After a seating snafu that was actually my fault to start we ended up having a great. Food was outside. Service top notch. Cocktails a bit different but delicious.

    We decided to go to Dutch Courage to celebrate my dad's 70th birthday. The staff placed us at a great, lively table near the main bar, our server was fantastic and brought us complimentary champagne, and the drinks were fantastic as always. My wife and I live in Baltimore and have visited Dutch Courage many times, but my dad lives in Michigan, had never been before, and he was very impressed by the experience.

    A perfect spot for an intimate date night. The staff was welcoming and knowledgeable, creating a relaxed atmosphere with great music. The drinks were excellent—the French 77, in particular, was outstanding. Five stars!

    I’m a local and I brought eight folks who were visiting from out of town and attending a conference at the convention center on Pratt. For majority of the week they had only eaten in and around the harbor. I chose Dutch Courage because it’s in a location that shows that Baltimore has a little bit of everything plus the cocktails are amazing! What I didn’t realize was this night, it was also the first time the spring menu was public. Between the nine of us, I think we tried everything new. Personally, I love the ceviche and the dish called the sea. The tequila spring drink was my favorite, but also Nana‘s nectar change my mind about banana liquor.  Richard (tall guy with dreads) took great care of us— and I think the person taking reservations for making sure we have the space we needed to enjoy our night.
