    "Medium Well" burger. Not sure it was even cooked!
    Jenny B.

    I recently dined at the 17th Light Restaurant with a group of 10 friends, which is located inside the Marriott. The restaurant was close to where we were staying, and one of the few places that we didn't have a wait to get a table. We were seated right away with menus, our orders for both drinks and meals were not taken until 10 to 15 minutes later. This should have been a sign that the service was going to be slowwww. Our drinks came out within 5 minutes, which was the quickest thing of the night. The majority of our group ordered burgers, which should be a fairly quick meal to prep. Four of our ten meals where delivered about an hour and fifteen minutes after we were seated, the next four came fifteen minutes later. Apparently two of them were completely forgotten and not even cooked- which meant an even longer delay. The meals all had the potential to be delicious, if only a little effort was put in. All of the fries were cold, orders were messed up, hamburgers were missing toppings... and they worst part? The burgers were extremely under cooked. Four of the burgers were ordered as Medium Well, and came out rawer than rare- disgusting (see my photos). They were somewhat edible, but one burger was so raw, that we had to send it back (with the slow service, it wasn't even replaced). The waiter was apologetic, blaming the delay on a server not showing up to work. Clearly this was a problem in the kitchen. It was shocking to me that the manager on duty made no attempt to apologize. I finally asked to speak with her (Brianna), and was baffled in her lack of professionalism. During my conversation with the manger, she kept doing menial tasks and would not talk to me directly. After I asked her to adjust the bill, she had to call another manager, who offered a 35% discount. I asked for the raw burger that was sent back to be taken off and was rudely told no. I asked to speak to the manager on the phone myself, and was again rudely told no. Finally the hotel manager (Chasity) on duty become involved, and was the complete opposite of Brianna. She was professional and kind, and delivered the kind of service that I would expect. Chasity helped us remove the raw burgers, split the bill, and apply the 35% discount to everything. I am disappointed in the service and meal I received here, but even more disappointed that a great brand like Marriott would let themselves be associated with such a horrible place.

    I came here to meet my sister for her lunch break. She commented that we should pick our food quickly because generally the food takes awhile to come out. We ordered immediately and it didn't take too long. I ordered the Ahi Tuna Wrap (maybe it was mahi mahi?) and it was great. I opted to get the sweet potato tots as a side and it was a good addition. If i'm in the area and meeting my sister for lunch I would definitely come here again. Food is affordable, delicious, and the atmosphere is nice.

    While on a conference in Baltimore, we decided to meet a colleague who was staying in the residence inn and she suggested the hotel restaurant. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a terrible suggestion. First of all, on a cold rainy night, you don't want to walk into a restaurant to have dinner, only to find out you have to keep your jackets on because it is colder inside than outside!! Secondly, even though there were like two other customers, the service was excruciatingly slow. I decided to order a crab soup to get warm and a blackened tuna wrap, both of which were awful. The soup tasted like canned crushed tomatoes mostly and I was not warned that it was going be spicy. The tuna was super cold and grossly under seasoned. The wasabi aioli was watery and kept spilling everywhere and it was quite tasteless. All in all, a bad experience. I would have enjoyed a subway more!

    My medium-well burger... yum.

    What an utterly disappointing experience! The only reason I am even giving this restaurant a review is due to the politeness of our understanding server. It was so difficult for me to even give this establishment(not that it's established) a star. My friends and I (a party of 10) chose to eat at this restaurant on a Saturday evening, upon which we entered around roughly 6:10 pm. It was difficult for us to find a place to seat is quickly, due to the Ravens playoff game, but we were quite surprised to be sat down almost immediately. Barely half the restaurant was seated so our odds for quick service were looking up, wrong! After being seated, neither of the servers could figure out how to work the TV screen to get the Ravens game on, leaving the devoted fan in our party highly disappointed. Our orders were taken pretty quickly, at about 6:20. This is where things took a turn for the worst... Since we had 10 people in our party we were prepared to give our server both our drink and meal orders. He seemed very confident, a little rushed, but very kind. We were served our drink at about 6:45. We ordered 10 waters, 2 beers, and 1 glass of wine. Not difficult. Well we sat, and we waited, and we waited. FINALLY at about 730 the first few meals came out, 4 total. Fries were cold, sides and toppings were missing, and hungry waiting diners were sorely disappointed. About 10 minutes later the next 4 meals came out, of which fries were cold, avocados were browned, and sides were missing. Then we came to find out that the kitchen cooked 1 burger wrong and forgot the other(mine). As we waited for the those 2 meals and other began to eat, we came to find that all our 'medium-well' burgers were PINK! When I say pink, I mean way past rare and all the way to barely defrosted and still mooing. Absolutely disgusting! (See my pictures) Finally the last 2 came out, which you'd expect to be perfect by this point, but they were the rarest of them all. I didn't even eat my dinner. Finally, my friend decided to speak up and deal with the matter. The restaurant blamed it on a missing server, but last time I checked the servers aren't the ones cooking the food. And for the record, I was in the restaurant industry for 6 years and at a banquet of over 200 people we had bread out in 5, salad out in 10, meals out in 20. Granted we had like 10 servers, but that's still 20 people to a server, that's double out dining party. My friend was finally able to negotiate a deal with the hotel manager, after the restaurant manager had an attitude about the entire situation. As we left with comped and discounted meals, I noticed that others diners in the restaurant did not look pleased either. We were just happy to finally leave after spending 2 hours and 15 minutes in that restaurant and get on with our evening. Oh, and did I mention that it was my birthday? Happy birthday to me!

    Stopped in after an O's game, the place was dead but the service and food were great! We were super hungry, and all the portion sizes were perfect. Delicious crab dip.

    I visited Blueprint Cafe on a Wednesday morning. There were already a few people lined up when we…read morearrived, and it continued to get busier as we sat down and waited for our food. I loved the selection of pastries they offered--the pandan pastry was definitely my favorite. My husband ordered the drip coffee over ice, and I got the Vietnamese iced coffee. Both coffees were excellent. The Vietnamese coffee was a bit too sweet for my taste, and it was served in a very small glass. I think it would have been even better with a little more coffee to balance the sweetness. For lunch, we ordered the kimbap and the egg bowl, and both dishes were outstanding. The only downside was that it took about 35 minutes for our food to arrive. However, the cafe was extremely busy and clearly backed up, so we didn't mind the wait too much--especially since the food was so delicious. The indoor space is quite small, but they do offer outdoor seating. I can't wait to come back and try more of their Asian-inspired pastries and dishes. What a fantastic addition to the neighborhood!

There's no flash. There are no gimmicks. It's a local bar to go grab a drink and you're not in the mood for the trendy packed spots. It's very unassuming and great neutral space. Anyone can show up, any time. Everyone's welcomed. You can have a good convo w/o having to scream thru it. MASSIVE PLUS *smile*!!! From a musical perspective, all sorts of genres pump thru the system and the ability to make selections is much better than other bars, which is great. It's even better when your selections are getting other people to enjoy the music and their time there, as well. Always a crowd pleaser. Aside from a fully stocked bar, there's a great beer selection. I happen to LOVE ciders and there's always an excellent choice available. The bartenders are always welcoming and accommodating. People come to unwind and have a good time w/o any pretense. I really enjoy the Tavern for that reason.

They can, in fact,…read morebe very different; something about the way they fry the chicken breasts produces a crunchiness I was genuinely marveling at with every bite. I know that sounds dramatic but it's true! I was shocked! The fries were a nice accompaniment that matched the chicken in quality + I love the addition of a pickle. I ordered the house BRD sauce and honey mustard and both were perfect in my eyes!

    [Disclaimer: this is a comprehensive review so buckle in and let's go!]…read more I used to frequent Hopkins Market (HM) when it was a tiny cafe that had good food. Always friendly staff. Good space. I was sad to see that they left. The replacement, however, has truly impressed me. The new & improved current location has nearly 'quadrupled' in size with its redesign/ buildout. The location is well lit and has morphed from a small neighborhood cafe into a full service vendor. Aside from a menu offering an impressive myriad of options, HM is also a massive grocer/ wine & cafe. They offer wine tastings and a very clean space. I believe they openEd in 2025. On to the stats: STAFF: Everyone is friendly & helpful. SUNDRIES: An expansive selection of liquor, beer & wine; snacks; candy; soda; coffee; household goods; grocer goods; Knick knacks. LIQUOR PURCHASES: A GREAT perk is liquor can be purchased until close (11 or 12). CAFE FEEDBACK [This is an amalgamation of dishes based on numerous visits. Didn't want to come across like a serious 'BIG BACK' LOL - On To The Vittles: 1. Chicken salad sub (recommended). Freshly made. Simple recipe [Mayo, S&P, celery, a few spices] (which I really enjoy, when done well) and sizable portions. SCORE! 2. French fries (recommended). Toasty/ crispy of the outside, fluffy inside w/ very good flavor. SCORE! 3. Yellow cake w/ choc icing. A tasty sheet cake / good grocery store offering. Moist cake, thick flavorful icing. DELISH! SCORE! 4. Dolmas - Stuffed Grape Leaves. I absolutely love these. Unsure if they're made in house or brought in but they're tasty. Not always in stock but when they are - SCORE! 5. Guava nectar - Absolutely delicious! Give me more. 6. Pear Nectar - Absolutely delicious! Give me more. 7. Pastrami sandwich - DEEEELISHIOUS. Tastes like it came straight from a NY deli counter. I added Swiss & deli mustard (heated). Perfect recipe. Don't overdo it. TRIPLE WORD SCORE!! 8. Western Fries - Crunchy exterior and fluffy interior. Seasoned well. SCORE!! 9. Onion Rings - I wished they were beer battered instead of being super crunchy. They also lacked ANY flavor. Breading wasn't seasoned at all. A little salt in the batter or at the end would've made a world of difference. CRIME! 10. Marble Chocolate Cake: Delicious chocolate frosting. Cake was drier than I like. I enjoy a moist cake. That wasn't one. I do think, however, that the deserts are shipped in - so I can't hold it against them (TIP: Change your baker) 11. Egg & Cheese Sandwich: on toasted Rye w/ mayo, mustard, S&P. THIS is my 'GO TO'. When I don't want meat but I'm hungry, this always satiates me. I'm a big fan of this addition to the area.

    Nicely remodeled, friendly staff, excellent sandwiches and pizza. They even gave sushi.read more
