About this restaurant

  • Fancy
  • Gluten-free-friendly
  • Great for live music
At Rec Pier Chop House, Chef Andrew Carmellini brings his soulful, urban Italian cooking to an American landmark by specializing in prime steaks and chops. The menu features locally-sourced ingredients, sustainable seafood, farm-raised organic poultry, and some of the country’s best beef from James River, Virginia and Donnely Ranch, Nebraska along with the irresistible pastas that Carmellini is best known for. This Italian chophouse combines the flavor and feeling of a countryside rosticceria with a modern-day steakhouse experience in Baltimore’s Fell’s Point.

    We have eaten here before. It’s a truly beautiful restaurant, food is ok but the non service we receive was a major disappointment. Sorry to say it but never coming back again! Our server should go back to McDonalds

    They were understaffed and not attentive as previous visits and the steaks were brought at the wrong temperatures and the fries were cold.

    Nice ambiance. Although food was tasty, it was overpriced with limited options.

    I celebrated my birthday dinner here, and I was extremely happy thats i chose this restaurant. We were seated at a window table which provided such a pretty view, our waiter was extremely attentive and gracious in creating a great dining experience. He provided us with a wide range of recommendations from the menu and was attentive and patient. The food was phenomenal! I had the linguine fini and the 8 oz steak, both dishes were seasoned to perfection. To end the night oir waitor brought out a birthday dessert to share which really commemorated the occasion. My only critique is the food portion were a bit small but otherwise I will definitely be back to try other dishes on their menu!!

    The food in the atmosphere was great! We unfortunately just had issues with our reservation which they did rectify! & our server was by no means horrible but there was a table that got us in. They got their order taken before and their food got to the table before us we spent about $100 each so just for the cost we expected them to be a bit more attentive. Our server also had to leave towards the end of our service - not her fault - and the person that got assigned to handle us, came back once to get our dishes and never returned to us or check or anything. I had to walk up to the bar to get everything sorted. We definitely will be back again. We think it was just a bad night, but that’s the reason for the amount of stars I put.

    Thanks so much the cooks and waitresses that made out experience amazing. This was a buck list restaurant for my girl friend and I wanted to make it perfect for our 2 year anniversary. The wine connoisseur really listened to what the occasion was for and what we’re going to eat for the perfect wine pairing. He really knocked it out of the park. We both love his recommendation. And ALL the food was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere, low lighting, and love music (the musician was HITTIN every note) made the experience amazing. We will be back for sure!
