    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.

    Customer service was 10/10, the atmosphere and ambience was amazing! The food was delicious as well!

    Chicken Quesadilla
    Mollie W.

    I hadn't been to MWT in years, but when I found myself hungry after a party that was lacking in snacks, I ended up there. It was late on a Monday night, but the bar was open, so I hopped right up and homed in on some Monday night football. I ordered the chicken quesadillas which were just okay. The chicken tasted reheated, but the tortilla was nice and crunchy. Next, I tried the chicken nachos, which looked like a huge portion, but was deceiving because they come on top of a bottom plate and are surrounding two sauce bowls in the center. They were much better than the quesadillas, so I was content with that. Had a nice chat with the bartender, a very friendly guy who gave me some history of the place. Not sure I'll make a trip down to MWT anytime soon, but next time I'm in the area I might stop in for something other than the mediocre bar food.

My wife and I made a reservation for bar seating to celebrate a promotion and requested to move to the dining room after realising there was a world cup crowd in the bar area. Absolutely no problem at all. Our server was on the bar staff and made excellent drink recommendations, even recommending second round pairings based on our order. The food came out of the kitchen immediately, our small plates were served as they hit the pass, and our main, the duck donburi, came out of the kitchen moments after we finished our small plates. Our order was all based on the server's recommendations and were all excellent. We finished the meal with a rotating dessert, tonight a dish with blueberry compote and coconut cream atop a small cake that was equally fluffy and rich, and port and a dessert cocktail, both equally satisfying and paired nicely with the dessert. On the way out, we left our takeout box of the leftover donburi on the table and were barely out of the front door for moments before a server ran out our box to us. He was not our server; they are just very attentive. Go to this restaurant, try their elegant Polynesian dishes and spins, appreciate the service and tip them well. This restaurant deserves to survive.

The rating is only low due to portion size and the price. I'm just the type of person that can't get behind charging like $17 for two small buns (had to order two).

    This bar has a vibe that is unlike any other place in the area. It's a little off the beaten path,…read morea few blocks from the Avenue, so it gets a lot of locals and a lot of regulars. It's a mix of old school dive bar and upscale cocktail bar. Like, you can get a Boh here, but you can also get a $16 craft cocktail that will rival anything you can buy at more classic cocktail lounge or speakeasy. It is small, so you will be forced to get to know your neighbors at the bar. They will undoubtedly be cool, though, because this place attracts a fun crowd. The only downside, really, is that it is so dark inside I can never read the menu, which is written in colored marker on the mirror behind the bar.

I did go on a Monday night, but the bartender was extremely off putting, and just gave off really negative energy but the service itself wasn't horrible. She just was kind of mean. That's said the cocktails here are stupidly good. The old-fashioned here used to be $10 but now it's $14 but it's still so excellent and worth it. It rivals cocktails of really good places and unexpected for this divey place. There is no food, but they do have chips that they sell that are clothpinned along the door and the plantain chips were really delicious. The lighting is really really low towards the back end of the bar, but to the front where they have the TV there's always something interesting. This is a must visit for anyone that is local or visiting, and hopefully the staff is friendlier this time.

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. I understand being over your job, but my friend did nothing wrong. Was not rude, and in return got spoken to like a child. I don't know what the chip on this person's shoulder was, but if you absolutely HAVE to to be vile to everyone you speak to, try a back of the house position because you are actively damaging your bar's reputation.

There was a preset menu for cocktails, mocktails, wines, and beer. Some of the mocktails were sweeter than my liking, but it was fine. The staff were awesome. 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.
