For us, this is reserved for a special occasion. We decided to go for our 45th wedding anniversary which was in a very cold January. We were seated all the way upstairs. I noticed that someone said they went through the kitchen and that's not true. The kitchen is off an area on the way upstairs. You see it, but I've seen food being cooked at my local Carrabba's....didn't affect us in the least. The upstairs was definitely more peaceful than downstairs which is pretty loud. If you are celebrating something, I'd be sure to let them know if you are expecting a more peaceful experience. It's a lively atmosphere in most areas of the restaurant. As for the dining, in a word it was stellar. We were not disappointed. Our waiter was amazing and everything was timed perfectly. We really enjoyed all the dishes were were served. I only wish I would have known they were giving us dessert. Wouldn't have bought but one more as the hubby is gluten free. We truly enjoyed our dinners and hope to return over the summer!

Service...wonderful staff! Attentive and nice and so knowledgeable…read more Decor was stunning. Loved all the paintings and fabrics. Lamb chops... They're a joke and almost upsetting. Who plates a (really small) $60 rack of lamb onto a huge plate with nothing else?! I mean nothing! No sauce, no side, no greens. It's almost insulting. There was this weird marble sized pickled onion. So weird and makes no sense. You have to order a sauce ranging from 4-12 dollars. Order a "side" you're talking another 15. It's ridiculous. It's the same for all their meat dishes. Pay 200 for a steak and don't even get a salad or a side. I think it's horrible.

My favorite restaurant in Baltimore. The food and service ALWAYS shine. The ambience is tight,…read morequaint, but a little noisy. I lived in Boston previously and Thames's lobster roll is BETTER than any I had there. It's my default order, but explore their specials when they catch my eye. I can also recommend thier scallops and fish. Their crab cakes are great as well; however, I reccomend getting other items here and crab cakes elsewhere if you're making multiple food stops in Bmore as there are equally good crab cakes at other places (Pappas, Faidleys, Nick's, Coco's etc.) but not equally good other dishes. I'm not an oyster guy, but they also have the best raw bar in town, and they have an in house dedicated pastry chef who makes desserts which are to die for if you save room.

Such an amazing experience! My close friend and I went for an impromptu Friday afternoon meal and…read moredrinks. They have a wonderful variety of oysters (local, from CT, MA and Newfoundland). It was a cozy location and although they were busy they quickly got us seated! The staff was prompt at filling our drinks and getting us more tasty eats. We ended up getting two trays of oysters (went well with our gin martinis), and the crab soup with short rib. So enjoyable and really warmed our bellies. I will definitely return to try their crab cake (the gentleman next us ordered it) enticing me to come back.

The food is consistently exceptional, the drinks are always on point, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between lively and welcoming. Whenever friends or family visit from out of town, this is my go-to spot because I know they'll leave impressed. Most recently, I visited for brunch on Saturday and ordered the short rib gnocchi. It was absolutely delicious... rich, flavorful, and incredibly filling. I paired it with the bubbles flight, which featured an assortment of four sparkling wines and was the perfect complement to the meal. Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. Great food, great drinks, and consistently great experiences. Love this place. Five stars for consistency and great food!

The truffle popcorn was excellent, our child enjoyed the shrimp and fries, and the fresh tuna appetizer was flavorful, although overly sauced. Unfortunately, the scallops with risotto were unacceptable. Both entrees had a strong ammonia-like taste from the first bite, which was immediately noticeable to both of us. We were unable to get much attention from our server due to how busy the restaurant was, but the dishes were left mostly untouched for a reason. For a $40 entrée, we expected much better quality and execution. Sadly, The Food Market did not deliver.

Fast service is a Godsend, especially when you're hungry. My NY strip was cooked correctly and had a great flavor. I opted for spinach and green beans, which were decent.

Lots of caramel flavor which was great again the slight tartness of the apple. We were even able to take a little bit home it was so large!

Since it was New Year's eve, there were few patrons or maybe this is the usual scene? Don't know. But there are some comfy couches by the front in which a young couple with a baby was nursing. Another couple was just finishing up dinner and started to head out. We were the only two diners for about 20 minutes before another couple came in for dinner. There were also about two or three people at the bar. So basically a very quiet place. No one at the hostess stand, only a woman at the bar. She eventually sat us and took our order. Things were slow but not so slow that I would complain. I would surmise that most of the staff was off that evening. Food was also slow in coming so there might have been a small crew in the kitchen as well. We ordered the mezze appetizer. Nothing to rave about. It was just a plate with vegetables and hummus. We both got the wagyu burger and fries. The whole meal was quite decent. The meat was cooked to the correct temperature and the fries were crispy. It was quite filling for me. Maybe it was NYE but everything was quiet and nice.

I forgot the name of the seafood dish that I had bust it was perfectly served in a breadbowl and tasted like a fondue. The mix of small scallops, tiger shrimp, and fresh lump crab meat was to die for. The baked seafood rigatoni was also amazing. The sauce was perfect and creamy and the seafood was once again fresh.

OK, I did not order the burger and fries, but my boyfriend did, and I ate half the fries on his plate, they were that good!

There's a lot of potential here, but when your wagyu burger costs more than Le Diplomate's iconic burger in DC, I'm expecting something amazing. Every ingredient was very seasoned on its own, but when combined, the burger was overwhelmingly salty. I could barely taste anything besides salt. The cocktails were also overly sweet, and I regrettably had to send them back a couple of times. That said, our waiter's service was excellent. But this place needs a lot of improvement. Way too salty, too greasy, and overpriced.
