Finally "made my way" to Rye Street Tavern. It's in parenthesis because I actually ordered it to go…read moreafter realizing I had a flat tire. Safe to say though, it was a great mood booster. I can't speak on ambiance of the restaurant itself but their to go service and handling is top tier. They separated my hot and cold items and everything was in recyclable packaging. I got the rolls, sea-cuterie, Caesar, and steak fries. The honey butter that the rolls come with is SO yum and the rolls have a thick flaky salt on them that pairs nicely. The sea-cuterie is such a fun and cute idea, all your favs in one dish. So good I forgot to take a photo lol. The caesar was interesting, I've never had a salad prepared this way and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it, steak fries were perfect. Even to go, the steak was still hot, cooked perfectly, and so soft. I fear I may become a regular here, especially with their location being on the water.

Disclaimer to start is that I've been here about three times in the past and been so impressed. I'm…read moresorry I didn't leave a review after those visits but would have given 4 stars and was so excited to snag a reservation on a Saturday night tonight. Man, was it disappointing. Service was fine. The restaurant is nice although there were wet footprints by the entrance to the bar area where we were sat? But the food was largely not good. The parker house rolls and honey butter were amazing but things after that stagnated. The kalamari was fine, nothing wrong with it, average kalamari. But the drink I got was supposed to have rhubarb in it which you couldn't taste at all. The crab and artichoke dip was just cheese -- maybe a few small pieces of crab and not a detectable piece of artichoke in sight. Came with stale bread as well. And the crab cake (which I've had several times in the past and thought was great)? Well look at the picture - would you serve that to someone? Admittedly nice large chunks of crab with little filler but it was smushed and falling apart and on top of that it was not warm all the way through. Also it was 615 pm (the beginning of the night) and they were out of the pork belly tots which is a huge reason we decided to go there. Anyways, had good experiences in the past but this is probably our last visit. Hope it was just a fluke night in the kitchen for their sake.

Truly a beautiful day of fun in the sun. I ventured out to Mama's on the Half Shell to celebrate…read moreoyster week and I was totally satisfied with the results. The Rockefeller oysters were the best I have had yet... the spinach and cheese stuffing was absolutely delicious. The gorgeous weather played a major role in how electric the atmosphere was, and the outside patio was jubilant and filled with patrons. Now for me the raw oyster tower selection pushed my experience over the top. The oysters were fresh and chilled to perfection. And for the record, the menu is filled with a lot more tasty dishes than just oysters... so I encourage you on the next nice day ( over the spring & summer ) to stop by Mama's on the Half Shell for an experience that won't disappoint.

This that last min dinner run or date night…read more It so mixy, vibey and energetic here; it almost feels like a slice of lower Manhattan New York. I love they have a waiting room, that doubles at a Carryout pick up and merch shop, so genius. It reminds me that Baltimore food scene is on the rise. I've been here before with my chef and the back of house crew, but I had to run it back; because I loved it Food was great, I enjoyed the queso fundido, the chihuahua queso was delight. The tacooooooos, this gotta be their bread and butter I definitely bodied it. The flan was classic, I got what I expected. Definitely high on my recommendation list, if you haven't you should go and if you have it's probably been a minute go run it back solo or w/ the homies

Clavel will always be one of my favorite spots in the city to grab authentic Mexican food and…read moredelicious cocktails. Took my work colleague here for her birthday. She has always been wanting to try this place. And she absolutely loved it. Clavel has been in the Remington neighborhood since 2015. Mainly a family/minority owned taqueria and mezcaleria with deep Sinaloa roots. One thing I absolutely love here is the ceviche. My favorites are the Aguachile( shrimp cured in lime and spicy cilantro pesto). The salmon crudo was straight fire and I always love the ponzu tuna. You can never go wrong with the queso fundido. And not pictured were the tacos. We also got a few tacos to share for the table. The barbacoa de borrego and the El lucahdor( fish taco) is my favorite. And their cocktails are to die for. You really can never go wrong with having dinner here at Clavel. Great place to stop in and have a few drinks and grab delicious food.

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.

Don't come here if you're just looking for blah food! If all you want is spaghetti and meat sauce go down to Fazzolis. This is higher flavor town Italian food with a mission to make you melt in delight. And it succeeds! Service is out standing, the food is flavor art, the location is tight but has great character, and I would come back in a heart beat!
