    I took my wife here for her birthday dinner. First thing first, they need to get the flying gnats under control. I felt like I was itching soon as I left there. My service was ok, and I believe the waiter was nice, but didn’t check on us to make sure we was good. The food was the only thing good, but definitely not for the price. Definitely my first and last time there. Some people might think it’s a fancy restaurant, but it’s just a high priced restaurant for no reason.

    A legendary Baltimore restaurant. Food was very good generally, although the rare prime rib was not a great call, chewy. Service was fine, good wine selection. Dining room only had three other active tables but they were clustered in a group, making conversation more difficult. Should have asked to be seated in the adjacent dining room which was empty. Very nice meal all in all but pricey and really meant for special occasions!

    As usual Jimbo made our twice a year visit an experience not to be forgotten. Oysters Rockefeller are best in the nation! And the veal chop is amazing! See y’all in a few months!

    The Prime Rib is how fine dining should be! The service is excellent and the soft, live piano music in an elegant space is only matched by the mouth watering food. Bob, our waiter, was great!
