    We had an early reservation, so the staff was able to focus a lot of attention on us. It also ensured that we stayed on timeline to make our show after dinner. This is the third time we have eaten here prior to shows, and it was as good this time as any!

    I planned an anniversary surprise for my wife there. The restaraunt staff was so accomadating and helpful. I placed an order for flowers and a seperate gift to be delivered there. They were great in communication and set everything up for our arrival. My wife was pleasantly surprised and the entire staff knew it was our anniversary. They delivered in a huge way. As for the food, it was delicious. The Bronzino and Crab cake were so flavorful and delicate. Our waiter Jose was charming and attentive. Overall, it was a brilliant experience that I won’t ever forget. Huge thank you to the people at Ouzo Bay for providing a fantastic dining experience.

    Food was of descent quality once arriving to our table. I arrived from the airport one hour early , so I pick up my mom early and arrived to my 7pm reservation at 6pm. We were immediately seated and our wait staff member took our order. We waited about 55min for our food, because of a party, according to the wait staff member. He also stated that our meal would be complimentary, due to the wait. Thus, our $175.00 check arrived and he gave us a complimentary dessert. Our night wasn’t a disaster, but service was subpar, based on restaurant charge.

    Food and Ambiance were great but the service was sorely lacking this time. Our server was pretty good at first but once we got our appetizers, our server was non-existent after that. I had wanted to order a main course but that didn't happen due to the non-existent server.

    My family went to celebrate a few birthdays. Not a big deal but the server didn’t acknowledge the occasion at all. The food was good but very over priced for what you get and the fact that it doesn’t come with sides. None of us felt the price equaled the value. It was a nice experience but we will not be back.

    Everything was decent…..except the food. I ordered the mussels, lobster soup and the spanakopita. There were two different types of mussels used and one of them were not good at all. Really foul, off putting taste. Server was extremely apologetic I must say. Lobster soup….it finished very sweet…almost like a caramel taste…..not my thing. I had such high hopes for the spanakopita but the phyllo was soggy on the bottom of the dish and only the top layer of the phyllo was crispy on the top. The filling was tasty, though. My friend got calamari and it was good. It’s such a cute spot. Nice ambiance. Good service and decent price point. Not impressed for my first time but I may come back to try one of the fish dishes.

    Our dinner was fantastic and outside dining experience was pleasant. The waitress was very amicable and attentive to our needs. The manager who occasionally walked around to check on the patrons was awesome. Upon my wife's request she made a special drink even though it was no longer on the menu. After dinner we walked across the Ouzo beach bar and continued with a few drinks and the ambience was fantastic!

    This place is a huge rip off. The prices are so steep and they don’t let you have the happy hour menu unless it’s inside at the bar even when there’s a bar outside and NO ROOM inside! You’d think they’d accommodate? I even asked and they wouldn’t. It wasn’t even busy in terms of tables as it was 6:15. Didn’t end up eating there but from what I saw it was not impressive in terms of food or portions. Never will go back. Way better Greek places around. They’re tAcKy. I’m Greek and they lost a customer with a big family!

    et for over 10 minutes and finally left to find our own parking because no one was there. After we got seated, it took 15 minutes for someone to come to even take our drink order (again, it was basically empty). We ordered drinks and an appetizer. Within 30 seconds, the appetizer comes to the table. Long before our drinks arrived. The appetizer was the lamb meatballs and it was very mediocre. Dry and flavorless. Finally the drinks come... I had to send mine back because it was so bad. I've almost never had to do that. Thankfully, they were able to get me a different drink, but unfortunately it was just as disappointing and I ended up not even finishing the $17 cocktail. My dinner was the blue prawns. 6 shrimp on a plate for $42. Overcooked and also very mediocre. I LOVE shrimp and only ate half of my dinner. The entire "experience" only took about 45 minutes, but I wasn't too upset because I couldn't wait to leave. Both my husband and I just felt like overall the restaurant was lacking in ambiance, food quality and drinks. For 2 drinks, one appetizer, and 2 entrees, we left $190 poorer and completely disappointed. If you're paying those prices, you definitely expect the service, environment, and taste to match. Please do not waste your time and money. We ended up going down the street to another restaurant and stayed there for 3 hours enjoying the rest of our night with good cocktails and food.

    This place is great! The views out into the Inner Harbor are nice depending on the seat that you get. The service is spot on! Our server, Ryan was so knowledgeable on the menu and guided two Ouzo newbies to the perfect pour. Everything we tried on the menu was delightful. Started with the grilled octopus and lamb meatballs. Both were cooked and seasoned well. The octopus could have used a little char to really set it off, but otherwise was delicious! I had the scallops which came with this light pea puree and flavorful pesto. The hubs had the lamb shank that's cooked for 24 hours. Did not need a knife for that meal. So tender. The craft cocktails were also great. Don't sleep on the Filoxenia, it was very tasty! We will be back!

    I had an exceptional time at ouzo bay ! The atmosphere was inviting , and the staff was really friendly . Even staff that weren’t my waiter engaged with me about my food and if I was satisfied with it . I choose the pasta for my entree IT WAS AMAZING . So many unique flavors blended into one and I also got the fried eggplant as an appetizer and it was great ! Ask for extra sauce ,I wish I would’ve ! My boyfriend got the red snapper ! That too was great ! Great flavor and a very fresh taste ! Overall the food was great , I would definitely recommend and will be returning soon .

    We left feeling very underwhelmed. I was excited because the menu looked great, but the food itself did not meet my expectations, especially at this price point. Every dish we ordered seemed to be lacking flavor and seasoning, or had a sauce on it that took away from the dish. The Baklava was stale and chewy, and we needed a knife to cut through it. The service was lacking, they did not check on the food, entrees came while we were still enjoying our appetizers, and drinks were left empty. The server attendant was very helpful with refilling waters and wrapping our food for us while our actual server was MIA.

    NOT the Ouzo Bay we have known. Octopus appeared on some tapenade? or hummus?- Not traditional, tasteless. The Greek salad was NOT a Greek salad: I'm Greek, have traveled there 5x. Badly done, small & wilted. Bronzino fish at room temp, not hot. Mussels delicious and the ONLY saving grace. Wine took AGES to arrive. The chef must not be Greek. We will not return. Very disappointed.

    Service was not what I've had on prior visits to this restaurant, and I took my husband here for Father's Day after bragging about this restaurant to him. Our waitress was not very attentive, and our food took quite a while after we ordered it. I thought that it may be due to it being Father's Day, but it wasn't crowded at all—only a few tables were occupied. The supplemental staff was very helpful with keeping our water glasses filled and getting additional condiments, but our waitress did not come back to check on us to see if we wanted to order anything else after our entrees came to the table. We had to ask someone else that was walking by for a to-go box and our check when we realized she really wasn’t coming back. We weren't asked if we'd like desserts or after dinner drinks or anything, so we went somewhere else for that. In all fairness, she did have a large party to assist, so management really should've paired us with another server; as she seemed very attentive to their needs. I paid an appropriate tip (over 20%) to the waitress, but I still don't feel good about it and really hoped she shared it with the others. If I decide to return, I'll ask for another server if I see her again. Our food was great, but I was left longing for a drink and dessert; as well as appropriate service for the price point.
