    Polite service but a little on the slow side since they are not particularly full at any given time.

    First of all, being a big Poe fan I am definitely feeling the decor here. Ravens and black all over the place. Not too much, there is a bit of orange as well. How they've managed to do this without making it Halloweeny is a mystery. Kudos to their interior decorator. The thing that keeps me back, however, is the food! All of it is so good. Last time I was here, I had the burger and fries. The burger - so juicy, the sauce - so tasty, and the fries? Crispy in all the right ways. A concoction of total heaven all up in your mouth cavity lol. This time, I had wings of the buffalo and sweet chili flavor. Wings are always hit or miss for me. I like mine crispy on the outside, and meat not dry af on the inside. They passed with flying colors. Sauce on them was on.point. I also had the truffle Mac and cheese and fish tacos. (I shared okay. I promise my stomach is not an abyss). All of that good too. If my stomach were an abyss, I'd damn sure try to fill it with whatever they have in their menu. And wash it down with the bonus on top. Drrrraaanks. I had a margarita and margajito. As pictured. Both of them were amazing. The bartender knows the meaning of emulsify lol.

We went inside (all 12 of us!) and they asked if we wanted to sit In the main bar area or go up to the 3rd floor, where they would put on the game on two 8ft projector screens They took our food and drink orders and worked their asses off to be hospitable. I had the biggest fish sandwich of my life (and it tasted good too), we shared wings, fries, burgers, mozzarella sticks, all were good, oh and the jerk chicken quesadilla . They even worked out pricing and tried to see if the catering menu would be more beneficial for us (but it made more sense to order seperately) We all agreed we would go back if we're in the area again! They told us the night before, they had live jazz. Looking forward to see how they grow moving forward

The staff was super friendly, and the manager even came by to check on us, which was a nice touch. We ordered the 16" pepperoni pizza, which was perfect for two people and we still had leftovers to take home. It does feel like the restaurant is still ironing out a few small kinks, but overall it was a good experience and I'd come back to see how they continue to grow.

    We were staying at the Lord Baltimore Hotel around the corner and since our hotel did not have a…read morerestaurant, it was quite convenient to come to the Kimpton Hotel. Since it was New Year's eve, there were few patrons or maybe this is the usual scene? Don't know. But there are some comfy couches by the front in which a young couple with a baby was nursing. Another couple was just finishing up dinner and started to head out. We were the only two diners for about 20 minutes before another couple came in for dinner. There were also about two or three people at the bar. So basically a very quiet place. No one at the hostess stand, only a woman at the bar. She eventually sat us and took our order. Things were slow but not so slow that I would complain. I would surmise that most of the staff was off that evening. Food was also slow in coming so there might have been a small crew in the kitchen as well. We ordered the mezze appetizer. Nothing to rave about. It was just a plate with vegetables and hummus. We both got the wagyu burger and fries. The whole meal was quite decent. The meat was cooked to the correct temperature and the fries were crispy. It was quite filling for me. Maybe it was NYE but everything was quiet and nice.

    We were delighted to find out that this place is open until 10:00 pm (a rare find in Baltimore)…read morewhen we were in the neighborhood later one evening and needed a drink and a snack. The space is gorgeous - super high ceilings, giant chandelier, velvet couches - a very old school elegant vibe. The beer and wine selection were small, but very good. We split the rigatoni bolognese, which was phenomenal. The pasta was cooked properly and the sauce was chunky and tangy and amazing. Would definitely come back for a real meal at some point.

The fries/chips were good, but there were so few in the basket I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to use some in my basket for another order. The fish was so over fried it was almost dry and had completely pulled away from the overly-battered coating. The slaw was the same slaw in a tiny cup you would get at any fast food or chain restaurant. The calamari was not overcooked, but had a strange taste that may have come from the incredible amount of oil they were sitting in. If the review was just based on my food, a solid 2*, but my friend got the salmon, and it looked pretty good and she liked it. Tip: don't order anything fried except the French fries.

    We came here tonight specifically to get the famous crab cakes, and they did NOT disappoint!…read more Almost entirely crabmeat, with just the littlest bit of filler. Nice lemony, slightly spicy flavor. It came with a big side order of fries, some cole slaw, and a salad. It was "market price" and tonight was $40, which was very fair considering the quantity and quality of crabmeat. The waitress was super-friendly and attentive. Pleasant atmosphere, standard pub vibe. I wish we were staying in Baltimore longer so we could get back here; we had a really nice time.

Very very very bland which is so disappointing. Why don't places season their chicken??? Or maybe they surface season and don't let it marinate. The chicken isn't directly on the lettuce when you receive it though, which is smart so the heat won't wilt the lettuce. The lettuce was crispy and good amount of cheese. It was shaved and crumpled Parmesan, I believe. Croutons were good but the dressing was okay. I think it was made in house, definitely taste the anchovies but something was missing. Couldn't quite put my finger on it. Overall, I did enjoy the salad!

    We've stopped by Riverside a couple of times now and have enjoyed our food. It's homey tavern food…read moredone right. The first time I recall having a shrimp salad sandwich which was the special of the day served with fries and it was a good portion. The second time around I got the cheese steak with whiz and I wasn't as big a fan of this. I actually ended up switching with my bf who got a tuna salad which tasted fresh and had bits of candied pecans which offset the pepperiness of the tuna crust. Service is always fast and friendly- a good neighborhood place to stop in for drinks and tavern ish fare. More a 3.5 than a 3. (Wish Yelp would implement half stars :/)
