6:12 pm Sunny Breezy Saturday FOA . (First of all) Line outside the door anticipating the opening of Cookhouse as I was looking for a park. Come early and enjoy the sunlight coming through the windows. This swanky restaurant has so much character. I decided to sit at the bar and watch the food and drinks come out. The bartenders, full of smiles and dimples , are knowledgeable and very busy. A lot of Sticky Rice Cocktails were sliding from behind the bar. It is a fan favorite. I know because I tried Sticky Rice at a private event and it was delicious and in high demand. I opted for a low acid White wine , Bambino Bianco . Very tasty and I was tipsy . ( also I was on an empty stomach) The guy next to me was LIT. He and his girlfriend had several shots of PAISON ANCESTRAL. Cookhouse is popular . Do not come here thinking you will have a table . Ppl like to sit and talk and pretend they are in NY. Outside seating allows you to bring a dog with a big bone . There was one in the front of the line waiting for his chance to be seen here. I ordered the THERMIDOR CROQUETTES for the starter but never again. The filling should be in a seafood pot pie. Lobster was scarce and that tasty stock sauce was minimal. There was lots of fried dough, good but for $25 I want more filling. I was kinda jealous of the couple next to me because they had the Birria Empanadas and they were stuffed ! Dinner Plates were rolling out . Lots of APPS. Burrata Toast , Chili Lime Prawns, and the empanadas. The Wagyu Zabuton was my choice. A lot of ppl had that too. Both of the bartenders recommended it. It was a hit . Chef Kiss . Am I over selling this place ? Maybe . But come and see for yourself. They are in their best shape at opening time and the customer service. Is A1 . Again , a lot of neighborhood regulars . You will be in competition for a table . Come alone and sit at the bar for starters. Happy Eating & Happy Birthday to The Geminis It's our Seasonnnnnnn read more

CookHouse - Espresso Martini Shot ! On the house - New American Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I was recently in town for an event and met my local colleagues here for an absolutely AMAZING dinner! From the whimsical (and tasty) caesar salad martini to a truly spectacular array of food, this was an experience I'll remember for a long time. But before I get to the food, I want to mention how accommodating the restaurant was as our party size nearly doubled in the 24 hours leading up to the dinner. I was so grateful that they were able to make space for what ended up being a group of six of us. We were seated at their lovely, luxurious chef's table near the back, where we were able to settle in to their beautiful velvet seating and await the evening ahead. We started, of course, with cocktails. The bartender at my hotel, when I told her where I was having dinner, said the caesar salad martini was a must-try and that the CookHouse master of spirits, Gabe, was a true genius behind the bar. She wasn't wrong. The martini truly tasted exactly like a caesar salad, and was adorned with a crouton garnish to complete the effect. Then, we dove into appies. I'm pretty sure we ordered one of almost everything on the starter menu. I wish I could remember everything we ordered, but standouts included the octopus, steak tartare, and burrata & lobster toast. Next, it was time to order dinner. We shared several entrees, including their famous steak frites (which happened to be half price because we were there on a Wednesday!), soft-shell crab, and a spring paella. Even though we were full, we couldn't resist splitting a few desserts, including a fantastic house-made creme brulee, a ginormous slab of cheesecake, and some ice cream. Let's just say, they almost had to roll us out the door. As always with an over-the-top experience, the service is what truly put CookHouse into the 5+ star range. Everyone we encountered was friendly, helpful, and genuine. I absolutely cannot wait to return to Baltimore and try this beautiful spot again! read more

Finallllly got a chance to check out CookHouse after watching the hype steadily grow, and I gotta say the hype is real. From a menu that changes weekly to incredible craft cocktails and absolute vibes (golden hour in Bolton Hill is truly dreamy), this place nails it. The truffle steak tartare might have changed my life. We really loved the burrata, and of course the proper smash burger (only available on Thursdays!) The espresso martini is a work of art. Will be back!!!! read more

We came to Cookhouse on a Wednesday evening. It's half price wine bottles on Wednesdays. We knew we were going to have a wait. We had about an hour plus wait. During that time the hostess let us buy a bottle of cava to drink on one of the stand up tables. We were lucky it wasn't crazy hot out. Once we got seated we ordered the Cesar salad martini and the Piney. Both were very good. Loved the crouton in the martini! The outside area was nice but very close to others since the space is very limited both inside and outside. For food we got the burrata toast, summer wedge, and the truffle mushroom ragu. My husband and I had conflicting likes and dislikes. I loved the salad and ragu but he really liked the burrata. I will say if you are plant based there seemed to be only one option. But maybe I was incorrect. So check the menu before hand. But all in all good meal, a little wait, but flavors were good. read more

Walking in, I felt like I had stumbled into a delightful neighborhood secret. The air is electric with buzzing conversation (everyone seems to know each other), the tables are filled with hand drawn notes, drippy candles, and more. This intimate and cozy space makes you feel like you were invited to a special dinner party and you are the guest of honor. Here is what you need to know: Cocktails: I was lucky enough to sample several of the cocktails on the menu due to my adventurous table mates. You can't go wrong with the Caesar salad martini, For Maja #5, Baklava, and 1605. This is definitely not a packaged syrup kind of joint, all of the cocktails are lovingly handcrafted and come with a great background story. Food: Our table ordered literally everything on the menu (except the wings) and the stand out dishes were the sticky and sweet lamb ribs, perfectly cooked octopus, vegetable paella, soft shell crab, lobster burrata toast, and the handmade gnocchi. Apparently the menu changes seasonally so you never know what you are going to get. Service: 5 Stars, Everyone we met was so friendly, knowledgable and helpful especially when dealing with allergies Helpful Tips: Wednesdays are steak frites night where you can get a plate of steak frites and a bottle of wine for only $39. There is no reason NOT to partake in this deal. You will leave very happy! The bartender Gabe makes some of the best espresso martinis in the tri-state area. It is not on the menu but order it and thank me later. If you are looking for a great night out with friends or a special date night, look no further than Cookhouse. read more

We had a delightful visit for our first full meal at Cookhouse, after coming once before for drinks (the Caesar salad martini really does taste like a Caesar salad). The fondue pumpkin was pretty wild, and once we figured out that we were supposed to eat the whole thing and not just scoop out the melted cheese, we enjoyed it. The proper French dip burger was incredible. The Wagyu beef really does make a difference, and it shone here. Service was excellent throughout the meal. We walked in (they don't take reservations) at about 7pm on a Thursday and were seated right away. The ambiance and decor are incredible. Can't wait to come back. read more

Cookhouse team, you met and exceeded expectations! I had been wanting to dine here for some time, so I was excited to finally check it out on one of their "50% off wine bottles" Wednesdays. By the stroke of 6pm, there was already a small group of people collected outside. We were ushered in with a warm welcome and seated immediately in this cozy, intimate, corner row home. Service was prompt and attentive from the start. The wine and drink menu is diverse and extensive, making indecision a likely occurrence. We settled on a bottle of orange wine--deliciously funky, earthy and tart. Taking a family style approach to the seasonal, rotating menu, we started with the mushroom arancini and tigelle (burrata with ramp pesto, mortadella and fresh rosemary bread). The arancini was exceptional--that perfect crispy crunchy exterior with a creamy, Parmesean studded center. The housemade marinara and basil aioli atop made for an elevated, memorable bite. The Tigelle was equally fresh and flavorful. The burrata had the right gooey center when sliced and paired with the ramp pesto atop fluffy rosemary flat bread, the bite is firing on all cylinders. For our main, we shared the artichoke paella, a unique, show stopper. The artichoke itself was cooked to perfection, while the fiddlehead ferns end added their own roasted but still with a touch of crunch component to the dish. The paella itself was well-balanced, with flavors that complemented rather than dominated. A squeeze of fresh grilled lemon added a welcome pop of acidity. A delicious first meal, Cookhouse team, thank you! We'll definitely be back! read more

Finally made it to Cookhouse and was pleased with my first time. I came on a Wednesday which is Half Off Wine and $35 Steak Frites night. I love the location (Bolton Hill is such as beautiful neighborhood) and the coziness of the restaurant. Our server was extremely helpful and very attentive. Wine selection was good and we were allowed to taste the wine before we were given the bottle. The steak was cooked perfectly and tasted great. The fries were ok but wish they were more crispy. Overall, I was satisfied with my experience. read more

What a cute, quaint and cozy little restaurant in the Bolton Hill neighborhood. I arrived around 6:15pm and made it right when they opened their doors. Got a table right away. The service was amazing but let me tell you the food and cocktails were so tasty! I enjoyed the steak frites and my friend had the gnocchi. Both meals were cooked to perfection! We also loved our cocktails and really enjoyed how creative they got with a variety of ingredients. I had read about this restaurant in Baltimore Magazine a few years ago and now I'm happy I finally was able to try it. Definitely lives up to the hype! read more

I really enjoyed my meal and experience at CookHouse! I had been wanting to try this place forever and was able to get spot a little later in the evening. The space itself is small but so cute and really well decorated! It feels homey and upscale. I came here with a friend and we split the winter salad which was really delicious and then I got the lobster rigatoni which was great! All the food was really really good and filling. The prices are a little high... but I did have leftovers and I was very satisfied! I enjoyed the cocktails I got as well- the Caesar salad martini was really interesting. I have definitely never had anything like it before. It honestly does take like a Caesar salad- And that's not a bad thing! Haha. Service was great, no complaints there. I would definitely return for a date night or special occasion, or even just a small bite and drinks at the bar. read more

Came here on a Friday night with a group of 4, it was very good but had too many issues for the price point. Cookhouse opens at 6pm, there was a small line outside but we got in right away. It is a VERY small restaurant, suggest not going in groups larger than 4, and really 2 is the best size. There are maybe 12 tables and about 6 bar seats. The cocktail menu is creative and had a lot options. We each got something different, and while the cocktails were great, only 3 of 4 were brought out. The waitress then came back multiple times to refill waters, bring us appetizers, and check on us, before we had to ask for our friend's drink for the second time. It's an "easy mistake" but for the price point of this restaurant, I don't have much tolerance. That said - All of the cocktails were delicious! I got the "You Cheeky Devil" which was super spicy and delish. I love the little fruity strawberry balls in it! For appetizers our friends got the winter salad and lil wings. The wings were actually so savory and delicious with honey gochujang sauce AND peanut sauce, loved those. The salad was ok, but a lot of bitter vegetables. For entrees, I got the lobster rigatoni. I loved the large chunks of lobster and the pasta was great. However... they didn't bring out fresh Parmesan. This is a $40 bowl of pasta, it's just not acceptable. I even paused to wait a bit but the waitress never returned so I just ate it. It was really good but that's such an easy and obvious thing to do, I was surprised. The star of the show was definitely my husbands shepherds pie. The flavors were delicious - with a savory gravy and a beautiful presentation. Everyone tried a bite and loved it. Lastly, this is a tiny restaurant with no waiting area. It's been open over a year. They can't figure out how to take reservations? This policy makes it so anyone with a disability basically wouldn't be able to come unless they came when it opened. If you need any sort of accommodation, forget about it. Pretty disappointing and totally unnecessary. Overall, this was a beautiful restaurant with a great cocktail menu and a small but mighty supper menu. I believe it's good, but at its price point, it has some unacceptable issues. However, with a few small improvements, it could be great. I hope they're able to take some of this experience into account as I'd love to come back! read more

If you are looking for a hidden gem in Baltimore, then cookhouse is it. I have been here multiple times and every time the food hits! This is perfect for date night, steak and wine Wednesdays or if you just want some speciality cocktails. The staff is amazing and attentive.

I had a fabulous evening at CookHouse. This is the ideal location for a dinner filled with ambiance and an articulate menu. Special nod to Amber who provided excellent service. We loved the Ox Tongue and their espresso martinis are certainly worth a try. Get here by 630 or with patience in mind because they do not offer reservations. Moderate noise level, yet you were still able to hear who you're chatting with. This is a small space, but I assure you that a visit is worthwhile. read more

Found this place somewhat randomly, and it has now become one of my favorite dinner spots. They do not accept reservations, so be sure to time your arrival correctly.

CookHouse - Everything's peachy, right? Drink - New American Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Cookhouse had been on my to try list for a while, and I finally tried it a few weeks ago with a friend before a show at the nearby symphony hall. And then I went back again a few weeks later. And I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. What a hidden gem in Baltimore! Why did I wait so long to go? Why hasn't everyone been?! (Full disclosure: I have technically been before, when - during the pandemic - it pivoted to being a coffeeshop and cafe, but they are back to only dinner and drinks 4 nights a week. Just in case you see some old pictures of bagels when I used to frequent it from work.) What you need to know: It's really good. It's also small (maybe 10 tables tops - a few larger, most two-tops and four-tops - with a bar with another maybe 8 seats?). It's only open for dinner and drinks four nights a week for 4 hours each night (Wednesday through Saturday, 6-10pm; although it stays open late for cocktails until 1am on Saturdays!). And it doesn't take reservations. Don't let this stop you from trying it. Do like the locals in the know - get there at 5:45 (they open at 6) and be the first person in line for a table (each time I've gotten there at 5:45, I've definitely gotten in with the first group and gotten a table)! What makes Cookhouse so spectacular? The food and drinks are spectacular. Practically every bite I've tried has been some of the best food I've had in the city. On my first visit, the ox tongue steak with Bermuda onion red wine gravy, pomme purée, and glazed carrots made me silent for about 8 minutes while I ate it. I couldn't even talk to my friend, because I had to eat that entire tender, luscious tongue steak. (I talk a lot and silence when eating is pretty much the highest compliment I can give a restaurant and its food.) I've never had tongue like that before (I love it braised in tacos or sliced thin at delis); it truly blew me away. The smoked salmon and caviar starter we had and the gnocchi Bolognese we shared (we shared one starter and two entrees, although I think I might have taken more than my fair share of the tongue) were both excellent as well. And the food on my second visit made clear that first visit was not a fluke. Those pig ears, the perfectly cooked Iberico pork, that sticky toffee pudding...! And - as if that weren't enough - their beverage program is fantastic. The cocktails, the wine, the after dinner options...! Everything I've tried has been amazing, but there's something special on the menu if you're up for something a little different. A drink called "You" involves a member of the beverage staff coming over to your table and asking you some pretty personal questions (the idea is that they ask questions that require answers that show a little of who you really are - they don't just ask your favorite spirit and your favorite mixer; it felt like a really interesting conversation with a stranger). It takes a little bit of time, but it felt really personal and special, and I enjoyed both the experience and the cocktail created for me. Cookhouse is simply excellent. A gem. I'm almost afraid to talk it up too much - the line might get longer and I might have to start showing up at 5:30 instead of 5:45. But since it's so good that I've already been telling everyone I know, I guess there's no harm in sharing here, too! read more

Loved my experience here! I stopped by for drinks with a handful of friends on a weeknight, there was a wait for tables but the bar was open so we were seated quickly. The bartenders so attentive and friendly, and they were able to accommodate a friend with a custom non-alcoholic drink. We only ordered fries to snack on with our drinks, which had the perfect texture. The ambiance was so cozy, I'll definitely be back to try their food menu! read more

Cookhouse has been on my list of places to try for a while now and I finally got a chance to go. It did not disappoint! The restaurant is very small but quaint and nestled in an adorable neighborhood. I was able to find parking easily on the street on a Wednesday at 5:30p which was a big plus. Note* Cookhouse does not take reservations so be sure to show up around 5:45p (restaurant opens at 6p) so you can nab a table without a wait. We arrived at 5:45 and were first in line. I ordered a mocktail to start- There isn't a list on the menu so I just asked the bartender to surprise me. I was presented with a beautiful drink with a lavish dill garnish and house made passion fruit "caviar." It was amazing! I have no idea what it was but I was impressed. If you are having a dry March or just not feeling like a cocktail, I definitely recommend trying out one of their unique mocktails! For appetizer, we tried the crispy oxtail wontons, crisped mushrooms, and crab Welsh rarebit. All 3 were amazing but I was really dazzled by the crisped mushrooms and truffled aioli! 10/10 recommend. For entree we tried the half roasted chicken and rigatoni. The roasted chicken was perfectly cooked with crispy skin, truffled mashed potatoes, and a delicious au jus on the side. SO GOOD. The rigatoni was hearty, yet light and full of flavor. I honestly couldn't stop eating it. So glad I finally made it out to try this place! We will definitely be back for more. read more

I stopped in on a Wednesday night for dinner with a friend and we had an amazing meal! There was free street parking on the streets surrounding the restaurant, we were both able to park easily. They don't take reservations so we put in our name and tried to get a drink from the bar while we waited. The only odd occurrence of the night was that they wouldn't serve us cocktails while waiting, but would serve us an entire bottle of wine (which, coincidentally was 50% off due to a special on Wednesdays!) That was strange but we ended up being able to sit at the bar for dinner so it didn't end up being a problem. I had several appetizers for dinner and my friend got the scallops. We loved every item! The restaurant itself has a very cozy and intimate feel and we were so wrapped up in enjoying the vibes that I forgot to take photos of our food -- which should speak volumes! I'm looking to going back to try more from the menu! It is a weekly updated menu based on what they can source, which means there will always be something new to try! read more

What a GEM. This tucked away cozy restaurant made me feel so sexy eating here. It's so chic and the food is so good. The cocktails: so well balanced, so gorgeous, and absolutely delicious. I could just come here and drink. The appetizers: absolutely delicious. We ended up getting two plates of the escargot because it's been the best we've had in the area! The mains: the lamb? Melt. In. You. Mouth. And the portion was massive. I had to share it. And the rockfish was absolutely succulent. Our waitress was such a peach and so attentive, even though we were seated outside. I cannot recommend CookHouse enough. Don't let the location fool you, this is a gorgeous restaurant creating some of the best food in the city. read more

Come for one of the best burgers in Baltimore (only served on Thursdays) This review is long overdue. We stopped by on Halloween and grabbed a table on the patio, which was perfect for people-watching as trick-or-treaters strolled by. Our waitress even handed out candy! We started with the Sicilian Arancini, which was light and crispy. For entrees we ordered two burgers. The fall menu offered a juicy and decadent wagyu and oxtail burger--two smashed wagyu patties with American cheese, oxtail marmalade with a crunchy and bright pickled cabbage that helped balanced richness of the wagyu. My only complaint? The bottom bun quickly got soggy. Burgers are served with thin fries like the ones at fast food chains, and I appreciated the simplicity here given they came with the most divine garlic aioli. For dessert, the mixed berry and lemon sorbet (one scoop of each) were refreshing and a great way to wrap things up. Cookhouse is known for its beverage program, but we kept things simple this night with a glass of the house red and an old fashioned--both solid. read more

Cookhouse is a cute neighborhood restaurant tucked neatly into Bolton Hill. The place is small but inviting. When we arrived on a Thursday night, we had a 40 minute wait. The time prescribed was very accurate. We were seated and received drinks and service pretty quickly. The highlight is the overall experience was by far the service. I loved how attentive but down to earth everyone was. I didn't get to try any drinks but by looks of the crowd at the bar, the bartenders are worth coming back for. For starters, we had the wings. They were delightful. Small but flavorful. The peanut sauce took them to the next level in my opinion. I would definitely order them again. The downside was the burger. I was super pressed to get one but honestly I was very underwhelmed. I saw the intention to provide a burger worthy of the price tag, however in my opinion, it was juts too many flavors that didn't come together for me. The French fries were good. They taste like fresh McDonald's fries. Overall, even though I did not enjoy my burger, I would come back. It's very rare that I don't enjoy my entree and still recommend a restaurant, but in this case the quality was there. read more

We stopped by on a Friday night and the place was bustling! We had to wait about 40 minutes to get seated, but there is a cute area outside to sit and wait around so it wasn't too bad. It's pretty small inside with limited seating, and the tables are spaced really close together. It is super loud inside so you will have to raise your voice to have a conversation. There is very low lighting here with interesting candle decorations. This drinks we got were amazing. The presentation was good of course, and the taste was delicious for each drink. We loved the You Cheeky Devil and Espresso Martini. The food came out a little slowly but it was good! For appetizers, we got the Caesar Steak Tartare with added caviar and Sticky Lamb Ribs. The tartare was so creamy and the chips added some nice crunch and savoriness. The glaze on the ribs were coated gave so much flavor and the texture was super tender. We really loved our appetizers and would definitely suggest you order them. Entrees were fine. I got the steak frites and would probably order something else next time. I wasn't a fan of the cut of beef (very lean). I also would have liked if I could have poured the sauce in myself, as some of my fries were soaking in it. My partner got the rack of lamb and that was good! It was cooked excellently so the texture was great, and the potato pavé included was crispy and delicious. To finish, we had their sticky toffee pudding and that was an incredible and delicious way to end the meal! Service is attentive despite it being packed. Things are on the pricey side here but I mostly enjoyed the meal. That said, I would probably only come back for a few drinks and maybe an appetizer. read more

I've been putting off writing this review because I really don't think anything I say will do my experience justice. CookHouse is small and cozy, but the food and drinks going on inside pack a major punch. I was absolutely blown away - probably the best meal I have ever had. Everything was so amazing. The cocktail I had was unique, tasty, and stunning! It was so pretty it felt wrong to drink it, but I'm glad I did. It was sort of creamy, earthy, and bright all at the same time. I'm not sure if that makes it sound good, but trust me, it was delicious! I also tried a red wine and was surprised at how much I liked it. I don't usually go for reds, but it was probably the best I've ever tried. It was also a little bubbly, which I've never seen before! I can't remember what the salad we shared was called but it was so well-balanced. A bite with all the elements (cherries, nuts, cheese, and the greens, if I remember correctly) was perfection. The roast chicken might seem like a basic choice, but it's the best roast chicken I've ever had. I was told it tastes like "what chicken should taste like," and it is absolutely true. I've never had chicken like it. And the potatoes! Also so yummy. We finished off the meal with a vanilla gelato, which was so creamy, and like everything else, absolutely delicious. I definitely ate more of it than I should have considering how full I felt, but that's how good it was. CookHouse is a must-try in Baltimore. Go! read more

We (2ppl) walked in a little after they opened on a Friday night, no reservations can be made at this location. Pretty busy being they just opened at 6pm. We stood at the front of the restaurant for roughly 5-7min, staff were making eye contact but were not saying anything to greet us or tell us about a potential wait. After a few more minutes I had to walk up to a server to ask about being seated, he looked around the restaurant and said there is a 4 tip that needed to be cleaned but they usually save it for parties of 4. He walked off. Another young lady walked by then greeted us told us the same about the table and was a little hesitant to seat us there but did it anyway after cleaning the table off. We already had an idea of what we wanted to order, it just took a really long time for the same young lady to come back. We asked to place our drink order and for her to come back for our starter. she wasn't very knowledgeable about the wine offerings and gave us a literal "ehhh" sound when asking about the Pinot Blanc under bubbles, chalked it up to the Chef continuously changing the menu. After 15min the server comes back and asks if we were ready to place our drink order- even though we did already. Then states she forgot to put them in, takes our appetizer order and walks off. Our app was finished by the time she came back to take the main course. Which were fabulous. My partner ordered the Proper Spicy Burger (not pictured). To finish we ordered a couple Ports since we have never had before. Again, the server did not have any knowledge on these beverages. I'd return but rather sit at the bar. read more
