    Such a cool fun bar to pop into as you're shopping down this main strip of restaurants and boutiques. I personally am into mocktails and this menu has a WHOLE LIST of them. Thanks for that- not all of us drink haha. Bf did have a drink the bartender threw together to so don't be afraid to ask for something off menu. Cool vibes in here and amazing staff!

    Came here for a family celebration without a reservation and were seated right away! Our server was very helpful and funny. We ordered some dishes to share and really enjoyed our time at the Duchess. There's a quirky personality to the inside but it felt like a cozy diner or sports bar of sorts? Interesting menu and all tasted delicious!

    I wish this spot was closer to me because I'd be going all of the time. Just walking in the ambiance is immaculate. The menu itself is so creative, the chef is from Guam so it had a mix of flavors. As a Filipina it's always fun to see lumpia and pansit on the menu. Our server was kind and patient with our big group. All of the food was good-- we got to try a little bit of everything. There's street parking around that wasn't too hard to find!

    We came here for the Mother's day course - overall pretty good but not impressive. Appetizers were okay, not impressive. Arepa was not that good, corn flatbread wasn't good and very dry. The crispy shrimp and corn patties were like a crispy takoyaki so actually pretty good and the Mac and caviar was like a cold macaroni salad also pretty good just not impressive for a nice dinner. Was really looking forward to trying their duck confit chilakiles, but they ran out unfortunately. A little surprising since it's many hours before they close. I was considering coming again to try the duck confit, but after trying everything else I'm not sure it's worth the drive here since I'm not from the baltimore area. Their grilled ahi tuna was done well and the sauce was really good. The garlic soy shrimp pancit had good textures and flavour as well. The nori butter tteokbokki was lacking in flavour a little. Missed a bit of acidity to balance out the cream. Desserts were also just okay. I'm usually a sweets person, but I was kind of disappointed. The carrot mochi cake was strange, the texture was good, but the flavours did not mesh well together and I was confused what I was eating. The latiya was dry. The shaved ice was pretty refreshing but not impressing. The Ube flan was good though!

    : Hands down amazing food. I've never tasted something so good. The problem is they sacrifice quantity for quality and therefore bigger price. 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). Would only go back if invited out, but I urge people to try their food at least!! Menu is small selection too haha, but their drinks?!! They got A LOT!

    Great service, excellent cocktail and mocktail selection, and delicious island-fusion cuisine! I visited The Duchess during Restaurant Week and had a wonderful experience. The ambiance is beautiful, with a vintage yet elegant feel, a cozy fireplace, and stunning chandeliers. Tessa, the general manager, was warm and welcoming, and our server, Zoe, was kind, attentive, and very helpful in guiding us through the menu. The food was fantastic! I highly recommend the Short Rib Kare Kare, the broccolini, and the award-winning Crispy Shrimp & Corn Patties. For dessert the chocolate Namalaka was a fave!

    The ambiance was beautiful and sophisticated. The staff were kind, checked on us multiple times and explained the dishes. One of the cocktails comes in a super cute spam can! The appetizers are quite small and this was explained to us before ordering. I got salmon as a main course and it was delicious. The sides complimented the dish well and I found the selection creative.

    Came here for brunch and was blown away by the food and how delightfully beautiful the interior is - will definitely be back soon. We started with cucumber salad and pork lumpia for the table - both amazing. I got the Steak Loco Moco for a main - perfectly cooked steak with a delicious mushroom sauce. Street parking on 36th street is a pain but we were able to make a whole morning of our visit with lots of great shops nearby.

    Great spot!!! Super lively and warm atmosphere inside, complimentary valet service is such a huge almost necessary plus that they offer, service is super efficient, quick, attentive, and pleasant. And the food - excellent. Everything we ordered was so good, flavors and textures were great, portions maybe a little smaller than expected but overall a fantastic place to have dinner. Seems to be super bustling and busy, we placed a reservation ahead of time which worked out well.

    The Duchess has been on my list to try for some time and finally got to check it out! First, the service is top notch and unbeatable - everyone was so friendly and welcoming. They offer free valet parking which is a huge plus to me. The restaurant is pretty large with a bar area when you first walk in and tables off to the left side. It has a British pub feel, dark and moody, which I loved. The drink menu has a lot of really interesting cocktails - our server was helpful in explaining the order of drinks and offering suggestions. The cocktails have a tiki-esque lean to them which was fun and funky. They were delicious. For food, we tried the spam musubi, pork lumpia, Brussels sprouts, fish and chips, beef skewers, an cucumber salad. The food was good - it came out quickly and hot. The spam musubi had a little bit of a charred taste to the seaweed wrapper which I have not experienced before, and found a touch odd. The Brussels were delicious (I love Brussels in almost any preparation) and the pork lumpia were good as well. The entree portion of the menu is a little light - they did have 3 fish specials but the regular menu only has 4 entrees on it. The fish and chips were good but not amazing. The beef skewers were good, as was the cucumber salad. Overall, I enjoyed our meal here but it wasn't mind blowing. The drinks and service are both top notch though so I would come back to try brunch.

    CHAI APPLE CIDER SHAVED ICE

    We had such a great meal at The Duchess! Our 1:30 Sunday reservation was perfect--not crowded but still lively, and the place has such beautiful vibes and aesthetics. The staff were super friendly and attentive. I got the waffle and crunchy fried chicken--the togarishi maple syrup was so good I wiped the plate clean! My husband and daughter had the Steak Loco, tender and full of flavor, and my other daughter loved her Spam and Egg Donburi--perfect portions and great mix of flavors. The apple cider shaved ice was the perfect not-too-sweet finish. We'll definitely be back! but for dinner - as recommended

    My actual new fav in Baltimore!!!!!! This is such an interesting concept for a restaurant, and the chef absolutely brings it. I highly recommend getting several apps before the entree, there are some gems: specifically the corn patties, the steam buns, and the spam musubi! Also, I have been wanting to try tteokbokki for a while now, and I'm so glad my first experience was here. Suchhhh an incredible comfort food dish--the soft pillowy rice cakes mixed with the slightly spicy sauce and the salty duck bacon + mushrooms was 1000/10. Also, the cocktails are fun! I especially like the Kala Mule and the Moneypenny. Service is great and knowledgeable, and the vibes are incredibly cozy and intimate. Love!!!

    came here for my birthday dinner and I'm so glad I did! We were greeted promptly upon arrival, and the host was very friendly. It wasn't too busy since it was a weekday, and while we waited for a cozier table with lounge chairs (as he recommended), we enjoyed some drinks at the bar. The short wait was definitely worth it -- the table and overall atmosphere were perfect. Their drink menu offers a great variety, and everything we tried was creative and delicious. We decided to order several small plates instead of main entrées, and every dish was excellent. My favorites were the fried balls, the spam, and the shrimp with coconut bread -- all packed with flavor. Dessert was the perfect ending to the night. I couldn't choose between the ube and the chocolate mousse, so we ordered both -- and even got one on the house! Both were delicious, but if I had to pick one, the ube is a must-try. I can't wait to come back!

    Lumpia was the highlight

    This is the former Kenwood Tavern that really was only open for a year, but it cemented itself into…read morethe history of bars in Baltimore. I think the ownership is with the current Landlord. I'm not actually sure but the cocktails are good. I think the vibes when I went was off. Granted I did go on a weekday where it was pretty empty. I did really appreciate that they were chips of ice in the cocktail, cause it was a really hot day, so I made sure that the drink stayed really cold and delicious. Water is self service. They shift their menu a lot which I think is really nice for the community. The cocktails are on the pricier side they think they start around 14 or 16 which I think is a little too much for a local neighborhood bar.

    I have been on the hunt for my "cheers" and the hunt started here. I went one night with friends…read moreand grabbed seats at the bar. This place is so cozy and surprisingly easy to park. The vibes are right and the bartenders were nice and chatty, the only reason this place isnt "my" place and doesn't get 5 stars is because they dont make a very good dirty martini and thats like base level. I asked for it extra dirty and I could barely taste the olive brine, I actually had to have him pour more in front of me lol. Also service was a little slow. So for grabbing a quick drink with the girls sure, but staying as a regular nah.
