    2'28'2026 Charm City Punch, Hot Toddy, Ms. Pickle's Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Chicken Chesapeake, and Chocolate Donut.
    Jada C.

    Welp, this attractive establishment is one that we've frequented for many years. Very easy to locate, plenty of inexpensive metered street parking, nice neighborhood. Upon entry, we were greeted by a very nice young lady who sat us at a high top table as requested w my reservation. Shortly after, we were greeted by Shannon who was amazing from start to finish. We ordered the following. Charm City Punch - Very great! Soo smooth and tasty. Hot Toddy - Perfectly concocted!! Had the kick I needed!! Ms. Pickle's Crispy Chicken Sandwich - Whew, so tender and plentiful. Chicken Chesapeake - Perfection on a plate. Hubby and I will continue to visit this business. So far we've been for brunch and dinner. We're going to start attending their theme nights!! Monday is Burgar night !!

    Came back for brunch and I'm so glad we did. Everything was delicious. We sat in the sky bar again. It was a beautiful day and weather for it. They had the Sunday football games on with $5 crushes! I ordered the Monte Cristo Waffle Sandwich. It was so tasty. I loved the berry compote that came with it. The Chesapeake omelet that my mom ordered was amazing. I can't remember our servers name but he was friendly and had great energy.

    Mt. Washington Tavern has been a local favorite and staple in Baltimore since 1979, I'm so glad I finally got to check it out. I sat on the Skybar, which is a covered deck on the second level and enjoyed the breeze. I had amazing service from Jamar! He was insightful, helpful and checked on me frequently through dinner. It's lots of seating available on both first and second floor, even a room for events! The Chesapeake Rockfish is Parm-crusted and topped with jumbo lump crab, lemon beurre blanc sauce and is def a must try! I also really enjoyed the Tavern Wings and the Delmonico steak (though not cooked to my exact temp preference) it was still very tasty with their housemade steak sauce. For cocktails the Strawberry Rose Spritz was very light and refreshing, def recommend it.

    A staple for the community. Great bar, fine restaurant and more. Happy Hour is 4-6 and one special a day. Wednesday is prime rib which is excellent. Fries are thin and perfectly golden. Nachos are huge(half order is plenty and on the happy hour menu) and come with a side of goopy cheese. I wasn't happy with the nachos. Drinks are either weak or strong. Not consistent. On the light rail. Nice walking path by the Jones Falls in front.

    This place is fantastic! Character, charm, clean...old school vibe, newer feel. The building has at least three original walls...which gives it such a warm, cozy feel. Hostess was lovely. Waitress was great! I had the tuna poke bowl with cauliflower rice! So damn good! The menu is huge, lots of choices! Can't wait to go back! Such great people!!

    We stopped here for a drink on the way to a concert. Such a cute place so close to Pimlico. The menu looks fantastic. We will definitely be back to enjoy the outside seating and try some things.

    I've been to Mt. Washington Tavern a couple of times, most recently last week for a group dinner. The tavern is nice - cozy, comfortable, casual - and the service is very good. They have a broad variety of drinks (beer, wine, cocktails). I enjoyed their house dirty martini when I was there last week and found it to be a very good version. I think their food is just so-so. We shared several apps: Nachos Grande, Truffle Fries, Bavarian Pretzel Board, and chicken skewers. Definitely standard pub fare. The nachos were disappointment - lots of chips, not much in the way of toppings! Felt very dry and bland. It needed a lot more on it to make it work. It's not a bad place for a casual, pub-traditional meal, but I haven't really enjoyed their food on the occasions I've had it. It's in such a great spot, so I'm sure I'll be back - probably for drinks and a burger!

    Atmosphere was great. The food was good. Outside of them being busy and it became hard to catch Kathy service was good. We actually stopped to catch happy hour before heading to the Os game. The menu stated the appetizers were mini appetizer but it was big portions. The drinks were really good. They have an upstairs and downstairs. They also do private events, which a wedding event was going on so the were busy.

    Jasmine was the server who truly made magic happen during our brunch experience!…read more From the moment she said hello, she was all smiles, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely warm. I had a table of four, with family visiting from different parts of the country, and it was everyone's first time dining here. Jasmine immediately made us feel right at home. She gave us a full rundown of the menu and took the time to ask if there were any questions or anything that needed clarification. That level of attention really set the tone for the entire experience. Russell also joined the party with a perfectly timed check-in. He made sure everything was going well, asked if we needed anything, and personally brought out our food. Once the dishes hit the table, the conversation literally stopped -- everyone was too busy being silenced by the incredible flavors of the food! The energy of the restaurant was lively without ever feeling overwhelming. The service was attentive without being intrusive, the atmosphere was inviting, and the food absolutely delivered. Every single person at the table walked away feeling completely satisfied. For a group experiencing the restaurant for the first time, this was an incredible introduction. Jasmine and Russell, thank you for helping make our brunch such a memorable experience. You both brought great energy, genuine hospitality, and a level of service that made the entire experience feel special. Absolutely incredible experience. We'll definitely be back!

Brunch was understood here. The French toast was very nice and not heavy despite its massive quantity. The flavors complimented each other all the way until the last bite. The Montecristo sandwich was balanced savory and sweet flawlessly. This was a hearty selection and could be shared with two. The cheese grits had to be made by someone's grandma IYKYK. The cowboy bacon I could just have a tray of it as it was a flavor bomb covering heat, sweet, salty, savory, and smokey. The staff was super friendly and accommodating working as a team. The table next to me was promptly provided with hot fries upon request due to the original order being "cold". A few minutes passed by and boom hot fresh fries. I had no clue about village and the assortment of shops and restaurants. I'm super happy I stumbled across it and found the hidden gems. They nailed it. 4.8 out of 5

My friends suggested that we dine here for restaurant week which was a sweet idea. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the friendly hostess who took us to our seats. Then our waiter explained the menu and gave us some time to decided what menu we wanted to order from (Restaurant week brunch menu or regular menu). We chose the brunch menu. For the brunch menu we were able to choose a appetizer, entree, and a dessert for $35.00. Not too bad. For drinks I ordered PIRATE PRINCESS which was Ron del Barrilito 2 Star Puerto Rican rum, passionfruit, miso honey, lime, and togarash. It was a perfect balance of sweetness and a little bitterness. For food we ordered the shrimp and corn patties, and the pan roasted salmon. The shrimp and corn patties were delicious. It was packed with multiple flavors and it was seasoned really well. The pan roasted salmon was cooked to perfection. It was flaky, and seasoned very well. It came with Ramen noodles that I thought were going to be temperature hot however, they came room temperature which was fine. They were seasoned very well. The ambiance was very nice. It gave like 1950's/ 1970's vibe. Old marble tables, antique pictures on the walls. It seemed like the building use to be a house prior to it becoming a restaurant. It was a great time. If you are in the Hampden area I recommend giving this restaurant a try. I am looking forward to visiting again for dinner. Cheers!!

We ordered drinks, they later said they were out of the non-alcoholic sangria, but we got another drink.

The catfish was delish, the greens were ok (needed more salt & vinegar but hot sauce helped). The yams were really good. The macaroni and cheese was not good at all. It had no flavor and no cream/roux. It was literally just melted cheese and noodles. The jazz night was just a solo sax player (she played a few great songs) but I was expecting maybe 2 or more musicians. I will not be returning.

It can be completely hit or miss depending on who your bartender is. And last night I witness a truly disrespectful interaction between my friend who is a WOC and one of the bartenders. I understand having a limited drink menu, but each time my friend asked for a recommendation she was responded to as if she had just spit in that woman's face. The final straw was when my friend said, "I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with most of these drinks. What do you have that is sweet?" asking for a recommendation. The bartender looked at her and said "sugar" then rolled her eyes so hard I'm surprised they didn't get stuck in the back of her head.

The bartender was solo up until it turned into a cash bar -- she was working really hard! The music was at a great volume, and food was being passed around regularly. It's really a great space for having a private party. And on top of that, while it can fill up quickly, there's free street parking outside. I do wish the bathroom was lockable -- the stall within there is, but otherwise things could get awkward. Pro tip -- it's behind the stage.
