    Brizola/Steak
    Namlhun J.

    We had brunch here and sat across the street on their outdoor patio. I highly recommend it if the weather permits. I definitely recommend the crab cake benedict. The steak kabob presentation was amazing. The french toast was good, but I probably wouldn't get it again. Our server was great and took good care of us!

    Had not been here for years. Love this restaurant. Never disappoints. Devour gives the upscale club vibe. Service was excellent. Waiter was very attentive and took care of all our needs. We started off with appetizers which included lamb chops which we had popsicled so we could share (normally an entree). All the food was cooked perfectly. The scallops were great, a little salty for my liking but some sort of carbohydrate would have muted the saltiness. Desert was really good as well, would not have expected to like the Greek yogurt as much as I did. Definitely one of my go to places for taking people out to eat in Baltimore.

    My boyfriend and I enjoyed our dinner at Ouzo Bay. The restaurant decor takes you straight in to the Mediterranean! Service was quick, efficient, and friendly. And the food was tasty and fresh! For drinks we had Lemon Drop Martinis and the Mi-Dusa. They brought out a complimentary Bread Plate with Olive Oil and we ordered the Ouzo Mussels and Flaming Saganaki (which they light on fire tableside) as our apps. For dinner I had the Whole Maine Lobster with a side of Greek Potatoes and my boyfriend had the Aegean Bronzino with a side of Horta. To finish we shared the Baklava for dessert. Yum!

    Ouzo Bay..... Ohhhhhhhhhhh, where do I start? I'm late to the party. (Pouts) I don't care to drive into Baltimore and I typically stick within a 15 mile radius in the DC area. I mean can you blame me, DC has so many good restaurants. I recently found a foodie BFF who drives all over the DMV, beyond, into the boonies and to major cities such as Baltimore just for food! Lucky me! After we went to The Bygone last month, he mentioned every Atlas restaurant was fantastic in Baltimore. This foodie BFF of mine, is not only an Elite but a whole Maximus. Well, this girl relies on her Yelp Community and since he's a Maximus, of course I'll take heed to what he has to say! Duly noted and reservations made! My BFF, aka my significant other, whisked me away to Baltimore on a Monday. He was dressed to impress, and I already knew the type of night we would have! We got to Ouzu Bay a little early so we pre-gamed at the bar. He's an expensive date and of course he'd order the most expensive drink on the menu, a Whistle Pig. No it didn't really whistle but cute name! He could have ordered a Shetland pony for all I cared, he was looking scrumptious and can have anything his heart desires from me. So a measly $39 whistle pig, eh have the bar babe. We head to our seats, the wait was a bit long before a waitress came to our table but once she came over she didn't miss a beat. Appetizer: Grilled Octopus - Exceeded Every Expectation, I'm not a huge fan of Octopus but this dish was delicious and full of flavor. Colossal Shrimp: The best Giant Shrimp I've ever laid my mouth on! YUMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEE! Crab Cake: Okay I may get back lash from this comment but Ouzu might have a better Crab Cake than Jerry's. Yeah I know, it's true though! It was scrumptious just like my date! No lies told! Dessert: The Brownie - This brownie needs its own review. Honestly, it almost stole the show from my baby! He was the prize of the night but this brownie almost took his thunder. Thankfully after eating the entire brownie (don't judge me, it was GOOD), I looked over to my left at my beau. I was conflicted, who did I love more? No shame in my game, I ate the whole dessert but not my food, and my baby watched me be a glutton with no complaints. He's a keeper! The brownie is super good and not big enough for sharing. Get two if you're on a date, let your lady live! Ambiance is nice! Manager was friendly! Service was excellent and the FOOD!!!! OMGeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! To die for! I'm coming back! I've missed out! Cries inside. Shrugs! Queues The Music... Plays Phil Collins: One More Night Yup, please give me one more night, or maybe a few more nights. We are definitely running this one back!

    Came back to Ouzo for some food and drinks - was sadly a little disappointed in the quality of the food. I expected better flavors. The plating was nice and the service was decent. The inside vibes are fine, I definitely prefer the outdoor "beach" area. I will continue coming for drinks but will probably not be back for more food, especially with the many other options around Harbor East.

    Ouzo Bay is a located in Harbor East, near the Inner Harbor. That being said, street parking is limited. I had a reservation for Friday at 7PM and was seated immediately. Surprisingly, it wasn't really busy. Inside is well-lit and nicely appointed. Our server was polite and attentive. We decided on a sparking Rose and a hand-crafted cocktail, Phanes' Poison. Both were crisp and refreshing. To satisfy our hunger, we ordered lamb meatballs as an appetizer; Australian Lamb Chops and Aegean Bronzino for the main course. Absolutely amazing! Definitely add Ouzo Bay to your list if you're in the neighborhood.

    A nice little spot close to Little Italy and just off the Harbor. The service was great that we received and the food was flavorful and done well. However, for the portion sizes and what we spent, I think that is my only area where I feel could have been better. I do enjoy great food though and have no problem paying for it. But with some of the other restaurants around on the Harbor and that we have visited, there are definitely some other options that I would consider. Again, enjoyed the experience and checking out the restaurant, but just feel the value was overvalued.

    This restaurant was very accommodating. Ordering food was timely; you'll get your order within five to ten minutes of requesting. All of the food was fresh; the service was impressive and always coming back to check on the table. Although the restaurant's crowd was light for the afternoon, our server was attentive and very knowledgeable of the menu and how our food was presented or cooked--the Mediterranean fare was defined out by rating and prep time. A beautiful gem in Harbor East-they don't disappoint!!

    This review is for Ouzo Beach, outdoor bar across the street from the restaurant. GLOWS: -The overall vibe is very nice. On a gorgeous weather day, you might just forget you're in Baltimore -The drinks are pretty tasty- just very expensive -They did a great job making a mocktail! -The hummus is quite good! GROWS: -The outdoor space could use a little TLC. Cushions on seats are dirty, paper menus aren't the cleanest, etc

    Kavourokeftes/Jumbo Lump Crab Cake
    Shannon W.

    Amazing place, highly recommend! The place itself is beautiful! We had a great bottle of wine for $65 for a Greek wine from Santorini. For lunch we ordered a few things and split everything. It was all delicious. Favorites included: Saganaki, Bibb lettuce salad and the crab cakes were amazing. The Saganaki came over and the waitress lit a flame to the cheese as we sat there, which was really cool. The crab cake had tons of crab, very little fillets and came with little potatoes (super filling). The sauce was delicious too. I'll 100% bookmark this spot for next time I am in Baltimore!

    This review is for the "Ouzu Beach" area outside of the main Ouzu Bay restaurant! My friends and I got Aperol Spritz's (perfect for summer - photo attached) and they were wonderful. Service was fast and smooth, and the ambiance is clearly gorgeous! The primary reason I have a 4 and not a 5 star is because I do find the prices to be pretty high. Also - wear some bug spray during the summer (since you're near the water), I left with some mosquito bites!

    This is for ouzo beach specifically because I do like ouzo bay but man, the beach side was truly terrible. We got there, were told to sit anywhere and given water pretty quickly, but then were straight up ignored (like made eye contact with servers but nobody came around) for an hour... we had to go to the bar just to ask for menus and even then they didn't come. While waiting we looked it up and it seemed like a lot of other people had the same complaint about ouzo beach. After ordering our drinks and a few apps we were told that one of the drinks was out so we asked for another menu but again waited for about 40 minutes before anyone came by again.. we ended up not even ordering the last drink and had decided in the first 1 hour wait that we didn't want to order any entrees. The cocktails were good, but I can probably name at least 10 other places in the Fells Point area that have good cocktails with hopefully at least some semblance of service. And I actually was a little disappointed with the food, I usually love all forms of eggplant but the fried eggplant was very bland. I don't recommend coming to ouzo beach at all.

    Tried their restaurant week with prices around $55/pp. the options were great and filling! Ordered their shelled pasta although unfortunately do not offer with crab as their original menu. The flavors were great, ambiance inside fun and service was great. Located right on the water. Overall pretty good food and restaurant week worth it to try.

So it cost me $10-15 to for a plastic takeout container. Had I not looked at the customer copy of the bill I would have not only not known but I would have tipped based on the total which already included the additional gratuity charge (which was not disclosed on the merchant copy). This is so unnecessary and ruined what would have been a good experience. They said it was a "sharing charge" which I have experienced and applies when u have another diner with you and u decide to split an entree. Had they disclosed I would at least had the option to finish the meal. The saying "stepping over dollars to pick up pennies " seems to apply as this left such a bad taste I doubt I will return despite the fact the crab cake was delicious and the loaded baked potato was average (hardly loaded) Beware of the hidden gratuity for take home leftovers!!! Update to above: I did follow up with Angie this morning and she was very kind and offered to credit back my card for the extra gratuity. She also explained that I was misled about the "sharing charge" but they do automatically add 15% gratuity regardless of party size or quality of service. So I would give 4 stars for the food quality and 1 star for the way in which they present and charge gratuity. Tipping should remain at the discretion of the diner based on service and food quality otherwise just get rid of tipping and raise your prices

I lived in Boston previously and Thames's lobster roll is BETTER than any I had there. It's my default order, but explore their specials when they catch my eye. I can also recommend thier scallops and fish. Their crab cakes are great as well; however, I reccomend getting other items here and crab cakes elsewhere if you're making multiple food stops in Bmore as there are equally good crab cakes at other places (Pappas, Faidleys, Nick's, Coco's etc.) but not equally good other dishes. I'm not an oyster guy, but they also have the best raw bar in town, and they have an in house dedicated pastry chef who makes desserts which are to die for if you save room.

The crab cakes were accompanied by a handful of greens, and heaping portions of the sides. The soup came with a handful of wrapped crackers - more than we knew what to do with! I preferred the lump crab cake, the sides were all good with the crisp cucumber salad and Cole slaw being pleasantly refreshing. The potato salad was the creamy sort. The shreds of crab was visibly evident in the veggie filled minestrone type soup, but not as evident in taste. It is always tough to get your fix of veggies on vacation, so I'd probably get the lump crab cake with cucumber salad and Cole slaw on another visit, or try one of their seasonal items.
