I tried a glass of the 2024 Karl Josef Piesporter, and it was sweet without being overwhelming. It has a laid back vibe, so there's no rush to leave. It's a great place to sit and chat for a while. They're dog friendly, though I will say the dog next to us got a little active with their friend, which was a bit distracting. Overall, it still had a quaint atmosphere. The service was on the slower side, but we weren't in a rush. Just keep that in mind if you're looking for a quicker stop because this spot might not be your best pick. I really enjoyed the wine and the waterfront views, so I'll definitely be back!

And I would say it was a bad start...now to give them a little credit the wine was good and we also received a free shot from the bartender. But other than that it was downhill. Now my man had already paid for brunch which we were completely disappointed because when I tell you it was bare!?! I've never seen a "brunch" that didn't come with pancakes, French toast, some type of meat to choose from etc. This buffet "brunch" had quiche, soupy shrimp and grits, smoked salmon, bagels, and Caesar salad. Are you serious!? If he didn't get the discounted tickets it would have costs $40/pp!? Then on top of that they add 20% gratuity and the bill came out the over $90!!! And this is with (2) glasses of wine and one cocktail he got. Now he didn't show me the check but how in the hell is that work $90!?! So I don't know if they charged us for the "free" shot!?! The restaurant inside was pretty nice and put together for a small venue size. The outdoor area was set up nicely to be shaded from the sun and see and feel the water and people watch. But it's a hell no for me...too overpriced and the buffet was trash.

The bread and parmesan are complimentary and GOOD. The freshness and lightness of both are fantastic. I ordered the Lobster Ravoli and the cream sauce was the STAR of the dish! It was so flavorful. My boyfriend got the Lobster Diavolo which he enjoyed but it was just okay to me. We shared a medium rare Cowboy Ribeye steak--YUMM. It was full of favor. We enjoyed a bottle of wine at the table as well. No dessert. Service was good and attentive.

I get why my therapist (aka bestie) said to do that. Even though I've been on so many dates this one was special. I knew he was the one just by being at Tagliata. He asked what my favorite cuisine was and then sent me the open table resy text. Cool points off that alone. It wasn't about him, it was all about me. Like it should, spoil me please. Upon arrival, he has a gift! I'm now seeing, he's different! I like him! And just like that, just in time for cuffing season, I choose Dr. Bae because an intelligent man is sexy as hell! And especially one that has intention. I told him, just treat me good, I'll treat you better and you'll have ANYTHING your heart desires! Not only is Dr. Bae Sexy so is the ambiance at Tagliata. Definitely date night worthy! Now let's get into it! Complimentary Bread - YUMMY! App: Meatball - Even though it was cold, it was good. Chicken Parmigiana - I loved it! Bolognese- He ordered this and I wish I would have! A man who orders dessert is a keeper! Bombloni - Delicious - Both of us didn't finish our food but we ate all of the dessert, it was the best part besides him of course. #grateful #GodknowsBetter #hubbymaterial

We were excited but needed to try it for ourselves to see if it still had the Amadeo's service, great food, and ambiance! Let me tell you I want to gate keep. I really, really do. But this place is doing it right. The ambiance is the same but with a hip new twist. Same lovely old time bar but new artwork and table set up. The service was still top notch. Becca was still there and we were so happy to see her! The staff were so nice and all of this was before the food. They had experts in wines to help us pair with the meal. But we were blown away by the food! We got the tomato pie. Now stop there. That tomato pie is 100% perfection. I'm not over exaggerating! 100% perfect. I will die on that hill any day. The yellow tail crudo was light and freshing after that rich pie. But it was a perfect platelet cleanser before the mezza manichie. The pasta sauce was light while also savory. It was honestly the perfect meal. I know they switch up the menu but please keep that tomato pie! It's so damn good. I can't give Amadeo's higher than a 5 star, but I would if I could. It's a smaller place so plan ahead. But we will be back time and time again. Thanks for keeping this lovely Little Italy staple open and thriving.

This place was such a delight. We came here with our kids and they just loved this experience…read more The restaurant has a gigantic bocce ball court that takes up much of the first level. We were seated at a table that overlooked the court and a digital screen that flashed beautiful photos of Italy's top tourist spots. My kids were thrilled when they saw Venice, since they just learned about it in school. After ordering food, I took the kids to the bocce court while my partner could enjoy the wine and watch us from above. I know he appreciated having the break and a good glass of wine to go with it. Service was friendly and the food was fantastic. We ordered several dishes including several types of pasta, meatballs, cheesy bread and a caesar salad. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and a great vibe overall. I already have a reservation when we pass through Baltimore again in a few weeks.

There was about 8 of us and we were seated downstairs in the bar area at a high top. Despite there being a reservation, it felt like our party was a last minute thought. The table was cramped and the ambiance of the downstairs bar area was dingy and dimly-lit. Our server, who was also the only bartender, did his best to multi task all night, although his demeanor was not very warm or friendly. I ordered the gluten free version of the Samantha fettuccine. Despite this being the only noodle they don't make in house, I had to pay extra for it. Annoying, but not totally unexpected. What was disappointing was the total price for the dish. It came out to be almost $50.... I believe the pasta is marked as market price due to the inclusion of crab meat but when it arrived, there was barely any in the dish. The flavor of the sauce was good but definitely not worth the price tag. I won't be returning anytime soon.

I had an incredible experience at Benny's this weekend. We had a party of 9 for a birthday dinner…read moreand my wife wanted to go to a Mexican restaurant nearby that didn't take reservations. I went an hour early before everyone else was supposed to be there to get on the waitlist, but the wait was until 10 pm!! So I quickly switched gears and called Benny's because I've heard great things about them. The gentlemen who answered the phone was so kind, and was able to squeeze us in on the fly on a Saturday night, and they weren't slow. Got there super early because I was already in the area, and my wife and I decided to have an old fashioned and an espresso martini at the bar while we waited and they were excellent. The ambiance was upscale but still managed to be relaxed and comfortable. We had a lovely dinner, the waiter was busy but was still attentive and patient. Our whole experience was awesome, so we were already going back in the future. Yesterday I realized a mistake on my bank account from the bar charge, so I called around 6 pm and spoke to the same gentlemen as before. He got all my info and promised he'd call back in 5 minutes. I didn't really expect 5 minutes because I know how crazy the dinner rush would be at an Italian restaurant with a Wednesday wine special. Not even 3 minutes later he called back, and explained what happened, fixed it and I got a follow up text immediately letting us know the refund was already in process. Now, I've been in the service industry and I was a bartender, so I understand that I'm going to be a little biased here but from beginning to end Benny's went above and beyond. They clearly appreciate their customers and love their work, it shows.

They gave us our own private room, it was a nice dinner that made our visit more enjoyable. Cocktails are a must and I went with my go to drink, the Old Fashioned. While drinks are being served, we're ordering sharable food for the table. At any Capital Grille, from New York to Maryland each restaurant has a similar menu. We started with a large seafood tower. If you haven't had the seafood tower, it's so choice and highly recommended. The shrimp was so fresh, the same with the oysters. No one really likes oysters so more for me. Mmm mm.. We over ordered too much food but I left room for dessert. I ordered Crème Brûlée served with seasonal berries. I know The Capital Grille is a chain but that dessert was fire!
