    Everything but the Prime Rib was exceptional! The Prime Rib did not have a lot of taste as it has always had great taste. Also seemed to be a little stringy that we have never had! Our waiter was fabulous as usual! Changed our Prime Rib first because it was very fatty. Second one looked great but not much taste!

    A classy place for a special occasion. It's very pricey, especially for Baltimore but the while experience was top notch.

    We love sitting at the bar. You can choose from the main menu or the bar menu which includes a fabulous cheeseburger, steak sandwich, or the excellent prime rib dip. Don’t skip their onion rings. The drinks are made with precision by the talented staff. My husband loved the soft shell crabs. Buzz’s salad is a great starter. Their hot fudge sundae is a dream.

    I expect at a steakhouse for steak to be the star - my filet was overcooked and tough (I ordered medium) it was definitely more towards well done. The server was horrible - he said something vulgar to me and we were appalled. Definitely will not go back or recommend - unfortunate for such an old restaurant.
