I had a light-ish (volume) yet decadent (finesse) meal of the meatball casserole appetizer followed by tiramisu and espresso martini. Smallish but heavyish. And top end across the board.

The music was pretty low so it's a good spot to hang out and have conversation. All the bartenders were so cool and sweet. I got hungry and one of them recommended the chicken Caesar wrap and it ended up being the best thing I ate all week. The fries were a 10/10 as well. If you're ever in the area, I'd recommend stopping by.

What an experience. I really wish this restaurant was in Gaithersburg. But maybe if it was it…read morewouldn't be as special. Sunday was my first time trying this restaurant and it was great. 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!!

WOW! If I could leave a one word review this would it WOW. I am going to be honest, a friend…read moresuggested The Duchess to meet for dinner and I looked at the menu and decided I would just order fish and chips because it was the only thing on the menu I actually knew what it was but boy am I glad that I took a chance and tried something that I had never heard of before! But before we get to the food let me start with the customer service from the second you arrive and the young man working valet parked our car to the second he brought it back you felt like you were a VIP. The valet, the host, the servers and the managers all make you feel like you're the most important guest in the building, regardless of how many other guests and parties are there. I was impressed with the service and felt so cared for and the server answered all of our questions and explained everything in great detail so I knew exactly what I was getting. And the atmosphere is one in a million, I felt like I was at a neighborhood hangout but also eating in a royal dining room. I love the attention to detail. So now to the food + drinks. I am not a drinker so I asked for mocktail recommendations and ended up with the POG it was served in a SPAM can and was so delicious it was passion fruit, orange and guava drink and was not just delicious but also beautiful! Now to the appetizer we ordered Spam Musubi and it felt like an explosion in my mouth, it was so delicious and like nothing I've ever tasted. For dinner, I had a delicious dish Gochujang Tteokbokki again melt in my mouth deliciousness and not something I would have ever thought to order. We ended the meal with dessert we ordered one of everything and shared and there wasn't a crumb left. If I could give them 10++ stars I would and this will definitely be a return place for us! I am so glad that I was able to try foods I wouldn't normally eat, but also experience upscale service in a neighborhood vibey space! Keep up the good work, Duchess!

I ordered the Jerk Half Chicken (8/10) and two cocktails: The Blue Lagoon (8/10) and the Fire Island (9/10). The jerk chicken did not taste at all like traditional jerk chicken. BUT it was well seasoned and well prepared (thoroughly cooked). I loved the saffron rice and beans. The entire meal was very flavorful. My only complaint is that the breast part of the chicken was a little dry. I think it's because it's the end of the day and I'm sure they're not making the chicken to order. The Fire Island cocktail is pretty spicy, so be prepared. I found the restaurant to be clean and comfortable. Very nice vibe inside. I'll definitely be back.

When we have guests, Pink Flamingo is almost always the move and consistently gets high praise. The menu can be pricey, so it isn't in our weekly rotation, rather a special splurge spot. Here are things I like (in no order): Drinks - The HH daiquiri - Fire Island cocktail - it packs some HEAT and is truly one of my favorite cocktails - Dizzy Flamingo - Flamingo Cup (a great gin drink) - great local beer offerings Eats -Oxtail Dumplings - Big Kahuna Burger (a freaking MUST) the fries are elite also - Fried half chicken (carrots and biscuit are great that come with) - I haven't tried the wings but my neighbor gets the dry rub ones weekly and she has good taste, so ima throw that out there Go visit them, vibes are immaculate as well!

Apparently, the chef used black sesame seeds. It just looked unappealing, and there was no sesame taste at all. My salad also had pickles in it, even though it was advertised as a pickle vinaigrette. I did not enjoy my salad and our server took it off our bill--she was so sweet about it. The description just didn't match what I received. A beautiful spot to grab a drink and sit outside on the water.

One of the best things about this place is the location. It sits right on the water, and you can choose to sit inside or outside depending on the weather and the vibe you're looking for. There's also cornhole to play, and if you're feeling adventurous, there are nearby kayak rentals (not affiliated with the restaurant), making it a fun place to spend a few hours. We didn't order any food this time, just drinks. I had the Strawberry Moscow Mule, and we also ordered an Old Fashioned. Both were good and easy to drink, but neither really stood out or wowed us. They were enjoyable, just not especially memorable. Our bartender, Al, was such a sweetheart! She was friendly, attentive, and had the cutest, most distinctive laugh that made the experience even more enjoyable. Great service can really make a difference, and she definitely did. Overall, this is a great spot to grab a drink, take in the waterfront views, and enjoy a laid-back atmosphere. If you're in the area, I'd recommend stopping by. It's the perfect place to kick back, especially on a nice day, and we'll definitely be back to try more of the menu next time!

That made the environment interesting to say to the least. Plenty of seating for it to be a bar which was refreshing for Baltimore. Service was so so. It took quite a bit to get the bartender's attention but they were doing a lot so I get it. Food was good. The wings had great flavor but a few of my wings were not wings. They were just chicken balls with bones. Seeing those kind of turned me off and I didn't want eat anymore. So essentially, I left 4 wings on the plate because of how they looked. We also ordered crab dip. That was fantastic! The pita bread they used was so good! Warm with a slight crisp to it. Overall it was a bar, so I wasn't expecting much. I will definitely be going back for the other events the have during the week for something to do this winter.

This is a cute spot. I think when I go again, my focus would be more on drinks and music rather…read morethan including food. The night that I went, the manager shared that more than five people had called out, so I'm trying not to hold the service against them. It was clear everyone was working really hard and trying their best. The food took a really long time to come out and unfortunately, it wasn't the best. The pasta was super spicy, which I was not prepared for, but it was enjoyable. The chocolate cake was served cold, and as a result tasted a little gritty. The drinks were nice. The crab dip was all right, but did not come with enough bread to eat it. And when you asked for more you had to pay an additional fee. Overall, I would come back, but I would just make sure I ate somewhere else.

The food came out very fast and was served with complimentary chips and salsa, which was a nice touch. I didn't get the bartender's name, but she made sure my food came out quickly and that I was taken care of. Overall, decent service and solid tacos if you're looking for a quick and tasty stop.
