   The restaurant is beautiful and has a nice ambience. The menu is full of wonderful options. We had the three dip, appetizer, grilled octopus, and Kamachi and all were excellent. I had the lamb shank which I will say, had a little too much salt. My daughter had the lamb chops which were very good if not excellent and her boyfriend had the swordfish, which he very much enjoyed. We also ordered the vegetable fondue side dish, which unfortunately was inedible for me due to the excessive amount of salt on it. It’s fair to say I was disappointed with my food and the side dish. I will likely give them another try.

   Valet attendant lied about cost for valet parking at the end of the night. Waiter was fun, and manager was very accommodating.

   On an otherwise quiet Sunday night, we had our first dining experience at Ouzo Bay. Everything from the service to the decor to the food was outstanding. We were very well taken care of.

    Visited for my husband’s 37th birthday, party of 10 that included three children. Waited a bit for valet, but the gentleman was very nice. The host kindly seated 6 of us before the full party arrived which was appreciated. When our party of 8 turned into 10 unexpectedly, management allowed the addition of two seats to our table which was also appreciated. All 10 members of our party were pleased with their food which is remarkable. Our waitress was very friendly, accommodating, and patient. A birthday treat was brought out for my husband upon request. I felt like my son’s nut allergy was taken seriously and that meant a lot. Highly recommend the eggplant and zucchini chips and the crab cakes. I really liked the Brussel Sprout salad, but am not a fan of spicy- it’s not the dressing but the red peppers that have a kick, just FYI…I removed them and it was just fine. Roasted potatoes were heavy on salt, but tasty. My drink was perfect: Phane’s Poison. My husband noticed the candles on the table were not lit and the waitress apologized for that. Ouzo Bay is a great place, with ambiance that made our experience even better. Would definitely return.

    My wife and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary and it could not have been more perfect! Not only were the food and drinks amazing as always, but the staff went out of their way to make us feel so special. We cannot thank you enough for creating such a beautiful experience for us. For everyone looking for a nice dinner out where to celebrate something, this is a must-try. From the absolutely fresh Bronzino to the grilled asparagus and lemon herb potatoes, it was perfect.

    This was not my first time at Ouzo Bay. but it was my first disappointing experience. The restaurant was pretty empty with no one at the Hostess Stand paying attention to us. There were three people engaged in a conversation to the right of the entry. One of them finally looked up and went into action greeting us when the older gentleman of the group cut her off and out of the conversation. There were a few tables of customers and one large party that was a bit more boisterous. For some unexplainable reason, we were seated right next to the large party. I cannot pinpoint the issue with the server but his initial presentation was off putting to both me and my dinner companion. After that happened, another server, who was very friendly, took over until the end of the meal when the initial server came back to us. Once again, his presentation was off putting. More importantly, the food was just good, not great as it had been in the past. I had the Brussel Sprout Salad. The dressing had an unexpected kick to it and the salad itself was bland. My companion had the Chicken and Orzo Soup that he did not comment on. For dinner I had the Australian Lamb Chops, which were disappointing because they were incredibly salty. I have ordered this dish before. It has always been excellent until last night. My companion had the Grilled King Salmon which he enjoyed but was not impressed by. Given all of the preceding comments I would still recommend giving the restaurant a try because I believe it was just an off night. Hopefully, I will return soon and the experience will redeem itself.

    Beautiful restaurant. Food and service were just okay. Update: I originally rated Ouzo Bay as above and 3 stars. We had a good time but our initial visit was just okay. Management was kind enough to reach out and invite us back. We visited again two weeks later and had an amazing experience. We tried some of the same dishes again and some new ones. My favorites were the Langostines, the flaming cheese, and the lamb shank. Definitely worth a visit! Thanks!

    Place is ok. Ambiance of the restaurant is absolutely amazing. Came for my wife birthday. Had the lamb meatballs for starters. Pretty good, not amazing. Skull island prawns were underwhelming. Brussels sprout salad was ok. The highlight of the meal was the bronzino. Great flavor. Best thing I had. Expected some type of gesture being it was a birthday celebration but it’s ok nothing came. None the less don’t believe the food will bring me back.

    Two of us went here for a casual dinner on a Wednesday evening. We both had appetizers (Grilled Octopus and Mussels) and entrees (Lamb Shank and one of the white fishes). Overall the food was just ok. The broth for the mussels did not have a good taste/smell. This broth is fairly easy to make, thus I am surprised at how bad it was. The grilled octopus wasn't anything special. The entrees were better, but also nothing to rave about. We had cocktails throughout the night. They were hit and miss. One of them (their version of an Old Fashioned) was so bad (it has a VERY strong cinnamon taste) that I had to send it back. I wasn't impressed. The desert menu wasn't very appealing so we decided to forego desert. Throughout the night, much in the same manner as the food, the service was just ok. The server did not go out of her way to recommend any dishes and she did not do a very good job of introducing/explaining what each dish we asked about entailed. It almost felt like a diner where she simply showed up and was like, "what will you have hon?". I would give the experience a 2.5 stars out of 5 and not recommend this place to others as there are many other better dining options in Baltimore.

    I went past Ouzo Bay on a trip to Baltimore before and it’s ambiance intrigued me from the outside. The next time I came to Baltimore, I made a point of trying it. I was on a trip to celebrate my birthday was looking forward to trying a new restaurant in a city that I have grown up visiting. From the start, the manager was very welcoming and presented me with a birthday card on behalf of the staff. I was also given my seating preference from the reservation. This restaurant has a lovely ambiance with modern fixtures and lively but controlled music. The menu here is very expansive and mixes Mediterranean classics with some unique dishes. This began as early as the complementary bread that was served. My favorite dishes were the chargrilled calamari, the goat cheese spread with dates, and the flaming saganaki cheese, which is set on fire table side. Throughout the whole experience, my sever, Chicas, the server assistants, and the manager were all very attentive, even more so than staff at restaurants more upscale than this one. They came over repeatedly to check on how everything was, which was much appreciated. Overall, as someone who appreciates restaurants, quality food and service, as well as someone who works in the industry myself, I would highly recommend Ouzo Bay if you are visiting the city or have not tried it yet. I will definitely be back in the future!

    Food is always great, and atmosphere is energetic. Prices were on the high side, but not unexpected. What was a surprise was how slow the service was the entire night, from the delay in getting water and menus, to taking our order, to getting our entrees. Perhaps a staffing issue for the night, but entertaining friends from out of town, it was a bit embarrassing.

    My friend and I had an amazing catch up dinner date. The food was great, but could of had a bit more seasoning. I ordered the red snapper and it likes the robust seasoning aside from the capers that were drizzled on top. My friend is a frequent visitor, I was new and neither of us found the outdoor smoking whiffing through the restaurant periodically to be pleasant. We preferred outdoors but they accommodated us indoors with social distance seating. The atmosphere was amazing and we sat next to the live booth and loved jamming to the music!

    We’ve been here before we were really shocked by the prices I know inflation is real but this was ridiculous. My companions enjoyed their meals but I had a lamb shank that was so full of cayenne pepper I could hardly eat it. I didn’t think Greek food was known for this kind of spice it was over the top or a mistake
