    A quiet Saturday
    Alex F.

    After a long family inquiry and an intense debate about where to eat on a quiet Saturday, we ended up at the bistro and I am so glad we did. -- as an aside, know that this block of real estate offers several tempting possibilities, from pub/tavern fare to burgers to creole--. Anyway, back to the food... It is, as the name implies, a typical French bistro. We arrived when they were serving brunch. Five of us ordered three different things. Everyone was very happy. I ordered the croque monseur. It was phenomenal! The meal came with really good french fries and robust Guyear cheese, perfectly toasted. The fries were actually better than five guys for any french fry connoisseurs is out there... One in our party ordered the soup of the day, fresh mushroom soup, with a side of bread. She was very happy with that. And the others ordered crêpes, which were apparently quite delicious. The prices were reasonable and the espresso drinks were authentic and very good. How often does a Family decision ever turn out this well!

    Truite Amandine Dinner (rainbow trout) with loads of bones, of which these are only a small fraction from just a few bites of fish.

    Do not order the Truite Amandine (rainbow trout)! Although it was a large portion of fish, it didn't matter because I couldn't take a single bite without picking out several bones. In EVERY single bite. I finally gave up and left most of the fish uneaten. Unfortunately, it was a take-out order so it wasn't like I could just send it back. Restaurant only gets one star only because the spinach was fine. Edible, unlike the trout. Also, what was weird was when I went to pick up the order and gave them my name, they asked what restaurant I was picking up from. Even if they have had trouble with people coming in mistakenly before, one would think they would know that they were my intended destination by giving them the name associated with the order.

    Le Bistro du Village in Mount Washington in Baltimore, Maryland
    Mary R.

    I met a friend here on Tuesday to eat dinner and hear the Stone Hill All-Stars play a gig. I have never been here before and was pleasantly surprised to have a delightful evening. I parked at the MTA parking lot in Mount Washington at around 6 pm. Le Bistro Du Village is a French restaurant that has a reputation as being "the crepe place" in Mount Washington. They do indeed serve crepes, both sweet and savory. My dining companion had the Crepe Nicoise with tuna and it was amazing. I had the warm goat cheese salad (Salade de Chèvre Chaud) with beets. (Beets are in-- have you noticed?) The goat cheese in the salad was two large chunks that had been lightly breaded and deep fried. Combined with baby greens, walnuts, tomatoes, and a balsamic vinaigrette, this was really tasty and healthy. They had an interesting cocktail menu but I am all about the beer. I had a blonde Grimbergen and then a Stella Artois. This place is definitely a bit pricey but considering we also had live music from 6-9, it was an incredible deal. The Stone Hill All-Stars seem to be an amalgamation of the defunct Polkats and Two Legs. There were four guys in the band and they were all terrific. It was not too loud and the filled restaurant was very appreciative of this performance. I loved hearing their original songs as well as a cover or two. You can tell that these guys have played together for a long time-- they make what they do seem effortless. The crowd was definitely an older demographic on this evening. I have to include myself amongst them. Thank you Bistro du Village and the Stone Hill All-Stars for a delightful evening of great music, food, and company. I'm a fan and I will be back.

    Crepe Marie Antionette
    Von A.

    Glad I found this place! It's a bit of a drive outside of the typical tourist spots to Baltimore, but we'll worth it I'd say. The place is small, and only had 1 waiter at the time, not sure if that was typical, but getting food did take longer than usual. I'd definitely come back and just may order the Crepe Marie Antionette all over again, and again, and again. :) You get huge lumps of crab meat, huge shrimp, and a very delicate yet flavorful sauce.

    Duck Confits

    Amazing food! We ordered the duck confit and it was spectacular. Served on a bed of spinach, tastes delicious. Friendly service, great food... it's the only French restaurant I would go to when I'm in the Baltimore area.

    I had an enjoyable experience the first time my fiancé and I ate here, so we decided to go back for Valentine's Day. I made a reservation, which had to be secured with a credit card. Unfortunately, an unexpected snow storm hit. About 2 hour before our reservation, we watched out our front door as cars and SUVs struggled to get up the hill out of our neighborhood, losing traction, slipping, and sliding all the way back down. He looked at me. "We can't go out in this." With very little food in the house (and both of us looking forward to a romantic meal after we'd spent the past week apart) canceling our reservation was the LAST thing we wanted to do, but there was no choice. I reluctantly called the restaurant and when I said I needed to cancel because of the snow, the man who answered the phone said "Hold on while I get the owner." I explained to the owner that we couldn't make it because of the snow and he informed me he was going to charge me $45. (There was no mention of such a charge when I made the reservation through Open Table.) I would have understood a $10 or even $15 charge, given that it's Valentines Day on a Saturday, but $45?? I argued with him that was unfair given the circumstances. He spat with irritation, "Everyone else is here. Why can't you come?" "Because there is three inches of snow on the road and our street hasn't been plowed yet." "Fine. What's your name?" I gave it to him. "Fine."--AND HE HUNG UP ON ME. I was speechless at the rudeness I dealt with from the OWNER of this establishment. I liked the place, and we probably would have gone back numerous times. But this was absolutely unacceptable behavior and I will never go back.

    Clandestino has grown up, literally. What began as a small operation in Frederick has moved into a…read morelarger space, and the expansion suits them well. This is Puerto Rican pitorro, also known as ron cañita, made with care and intention rather than gimmickry. Many local liquor stores now carry the brand, and it is well worth picking up a bottle, but visiting the distillery is an experience in itself. The founder is a fellow Puerto Rican born retired military member, a background I share, and like me, he has put down roots in Maryland. That story is reflected clearly in the brand's own framing, "Puerto Rican born, Maryland made." The space feels grounded and unpretentious, and that sensibility carries through to the hospitality. We arrived late on a Saturday and were still welcomed warmly, never rushed. We were taken care of by the founder's daughter, who was exceptionally kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. She guided us through a flight that included the traditional pitorro, almond, pineapple, coffee, coconut chai, and several seasonal offerings. The flavors were thoughtful and well balanced; even the infused expressions retained a clear rum backbone rather than drifting into novelty. We enjoyed them enough to leave with several bottles. This is artisanal pitorro done right, rooted in Puerto Rican tradition and confidently made in Maryland. Buying it locally is convenient, but going to the distillery is where the people, the story, and the spirit fully come together.

    The Clipper Mill Inn, known to locals as "The Bloody Bucket" is easy to miss. From the street it's…read morejust an unassuming gray block building with a red door and no permanent sign. It's not unusual to just see a plastic banner advertising NASCAR and Budweiser beer prices hanging above the door to let you know there's a bar inside. This bar also had a sketchy reputation when it originally opened because it looked more like a bar that was built inside someone's garage. It was dirty, had a dingy drop tile ceiling, and was lit only by harsh neon lighting inside. But Clipper Mill has since been remodeled and actually has a cozy little neighborhood bar feel inside now with painted drop tin ceilings, normal lighting, along with the requisite dive bar elements of a pool table, jukebox, keno machine, video poker machine, a few flat screens to watch the game, and a carry out fridges on the wall. They've also got 6 draft beers on tap, cold Natty Boh in a can, and strongly poured cheap drinks. Back when Clipper Mill was still a garage bar, Charm City's own John Water's was spotted here on more than one occasion for their Karaoke Saturday nights. Not sure if he's still stopping by since Clipper Mill got its interior face lift. But the regular crowd here are pretty much ALL regulars, and they seem friendly enough. So don't let the "Bloody Bucket" nickname make you shy away. Stop in, have a cold beer or two, and enjoy another stop on your tour of Balmer dive bars.

It is one of the few bars I have ever walked into where the hostility of the staff towards strangers was so blatant,as if outsider were crashing a private social club. This is the type of establishment that needs to close down. It is flanked on all sides by nice restaurants, craft breweries, and new apartments, and is only a few blocks from The Avenue. Yet, Clipper Mill remains patronized by recalcitrant "hons" who refuse to acknowledge that the neighborhood is changing for the better, and that Jimmy Carter is not still president. Seriously, I think some of the stuff on the walls in there is 40 years old. The place is a microcosm of the "old Bawlmer" attitude still found in some pockets in the city... the people who would rather live in urban decay like Detroit than embrace the change of the city.
