    Stuffed lamb chops truffle macaroni & cheese
    Cello's P.

    Part of my Father's Day celebration the wife took me to one of her favorite spots the Madison 801. It's a nice little restaurant in the John Hopkins area. We walked into a fairly quiet empty place. Only like 3 or 4 couples in there which allowed us to be greeted & seat very quickly. I decided to go with the stuffed lamb chops, truffle Mac & cheese. The owner was even kind enough to come over introduce herself & make sure we were enjoying ourselves. The food came out nice & hot and was very tasty. This is one of those places I'll definitely have to revisit cause the menu had a lot of interesting options that I wanted to try

    They really are dog friendly!

    As soon as I walked in I was greeted. Kaled, who was at the front was our server and the service was impeccable! He kept my water glass full, offered water for my dog, and checked on me periodically throughout my visit. He was very attentive, but not overbearing. The wait for my food wasn't long and boy was it worth it!? The banana pudding creme brulee french toast was amazing! Not overly sweet and the banana pudding on the side was just enough. I never had beef bacon before, but it was tasty too. Not gamey at all. My very generous serving of grits came a lil after everything else, but they were hot, creamy, and had a really nice blend of spices as a garnish. I asked for more butter, added a lil salt, and they were perfection! As you can see from the pics, the plate presentation was on point. Overall, the experience was a 5/5 and I'll definitely be back!

    I've been here several times now and it's a treat each and every time. The staff is very nice and the food is delicious! Nice ambiance and the music selection is always great! Some fan favorites are the chicken and waffles, steak and eggs and the bacon egg and cheese croissant with potatoes. Those potatoes are something special! Do yourself a favor and check this place out!!

    The best brunch in Baltimore. The funnel cake waffles and chicken were delicious. The steak was nice and tender. I enjoyed the citrus potatoes. They were nice and crispy. Customer service is great. Everyone has a favorite recommendation.

    If you're looking for a nice vibe that celebrates fresh whole food ingredients? Then The Madison 801 is the place to be. Its like a farm-to-table experience offering food that will make you glad you stopped in. The Madison 801 staff is friendly, attentive, and pleasant. As far as the food goes... If you are familiar with Shareef's, then you know the food is going to taste good. The Madison 801 looks like a promising new establishment on the East side of Baltimore delivering thoughtful prepared dishes of food, excellent service, and a commitment to serve the people of Baltimore. For those familiar with Shareef's, ifnyou think The Madison will be on the high end of pricing, then you're wrong. But even still... the quality of the food will definitely justify the cost. Don't miss out on this experience.

    They understood the assignment! Let me go ahead and put y'all on!! My brother invited me for breakfast and made the reservation. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for an experience, not just a meal. The energy was immaculate. The vibes was giving grown, classy, and wrapped in Black excellence! IFKYK My man Myles with a Y was my server and he was top-tier. He was very attentive without being overbearing, super sweet and genuine without trying too hard, and he moved like he actually enjoyed being there. You ever have a server that makes you feel like the most important table in the room? That was Myles! Protect him at all costs, given you don't always get great servers who actually like their job. He was everything!! And then Shareef, the owner. Yes... the one who owns the actual Shareef's that has the rotisserie chicken to die for!!?...He owns this one too! So u know the food is gonna touch your soul! That man has charisma, class, and the kind of interpersonal skills that make you wanna invest in whatever he's doing! Genuinely such a great and uplifting business man! We chopped it up for a bit and let me tell you, it's clear he and his wife takes pride in this place. It shows with how he speaks, how he tended to our table, how he ensured we were taken care of during the entire visit and dropped gems to help me with a business question I had. I even had the pleasure of speaking with his wife via FaceTime while I was there, and she was just as lovely and ridiculously beautiful. You could feel the love in the way they move. That's Black love and Black business done right. #Goals The restaurant itself gives high-end decor, more like this is luxury, stay a while. The bathrooms were clean and stocked. Y'all know that matters and can truly ruin an experience when everything else is going great. Now let's get to the food, because chileeeeee, my belly is still poking after my meal! I ordered the steak, eggs & potatoes (because why not be a little bougie on a Sunday? Lol), I threw in a side of grits and turkey sausage. Everything was cooked to perfection! His Chef deserves a kiss on the forehead for this one! The steak was seasoned like somebody knew what they were doing in that kitchen. Juicy, tender, and paired perfectly with those creamy grits and turkey sausage. My potatoes hit!!! Idk what seasoning they put on it, but they had my taste buds dancing. I was full yet sat there for a while trying to plan my next visit . Big back behavior! My brother ordered the banana crème brûlée French toast with yams and listen, there wasn't a crumb left on that plate! He didn't need syrup at all which tells you everything you need to know. He devoured it like it owed him money. The hibiscus tea was a staple for me. I'm talking rich, refreshing, slightly floral and delicious. I'm already craving it again! The Madison 801 is going on my list of fav places! Side note, I absolutely love the name. It just flows and sounds upscale! I'll absolutely be back and next time, I'm bringing a cute lil crew because some things are just too good not to share! Thank you for making my 1st experience here one to remember. See yall soon!

    Every thing was great from the service to the food. The menu looked so good we couldn't decide but both landed on crab balls and fish sliders with the exotic pressed tea it was a watermelon kiwi flavor. The fish slider portion was huge and the citrus burst potatoes fried to perfection and well seasoned.

    The Lamb Chops stuffed with crabmeat, Gouda Mac and Brocollini

    Great! Great! Great! The food is great. The service is professional, courteous, and great. The attention to detail is great! Thank you Madison 801 for a great brunch.

    Melody C.

    Our most recent visit was so good that my partner insisted I update my review. Service was attentive, welcoming, and all around stellar as usual. The vibe is amazing and I would love to keep coming for brunch. For mains, we tried their Braised Jerk Oxtails and Steak & Eggs w. Citrus Burst Potatoes. My partner told me to convey that the braised jerk oxtail was one of the best things he's ever eaten (and we eat A LOT...). I tried some and it was great! The texture and flavor profile is truly amazing. The Steak and Eggs were similarly great, and while I was concerned with the portion size at first, I ended up pretty stuffed after finishing it! I love the sauce they give, it resembles a creamy chipotle sauce to me. I would also recommend the crab rangoons as an appetizer because they're super crispy! Although I wish there was a bit more filling, I think it's fine for the price. Their lattes are good and have a good amount of milk froth if you are a fan of that. I can't wait to come again!

    I've recently started working in the area and they are supper close thus I decided to try them out…read more I was very excited when I saw it was Korean owned however their K-food section is only two items; Bulgogi Dupbap & the Bulgogi Sub. The rest of the menu is American stuff. I've as of now tried both of these and very content with the taste and filling of these two, the price is reasonable per the portion and yummyness($12.49) plus tax about $13.25. The only thing I would change a bit is making sure that the juice from the bulgogi doesn't soak the bread too much cuz then it's mushy. I like a crunchy texture to my subs, but the may be just my preference. Both the son and the mom are super nice, if you become a regular it's very nice to have people know what you want right away. The atmosphere is very warm and friendly. I hope that they can incorporate more korean food to their menu, at least 2 more that have a different protein so we have a bit more variety. Though I understand why the options for kfood are limited given the area's population. Things to keep in mind: - When you order let them know if you want it to go or to eat there. Nobody can read minds, but they will do their best to ask you prior to packaging to confirm. - It can get busy so sometimes transaction may take longer because people are multitasking. - - - Don't rip out the receipt, you might be taking the wrong copy. Wait for the cashier to hand it to you or simply ask. -If you have questions about a product, ask them and don't assume. Yes. There is a big menu and pamphlets available and they provide brief item description but if that's not clear, just ask. They also have prepackaged salads, fruit and a few sweet treats, along with MissVickies chips, and bottle drinks. It's a cafe so the basics. Overall, really nice experience. Tots recommended :3

    Solid Experience, But I Miss the Old Owner…read more Café on the Square is a reliable spot with decent food and a cozy atmosphere. The service was good, and the dishes were tasty, but nothing that really stood out. That being said, I miss the old owner--there was something special about his presence that made every visit feel more welcoming and personal. I hope the new management keeps things moving in the right direction. I'll definitely return, but it's just not quite the same without the old vibe.

    SHUT THE FLUFF UP! SO GOOOOD!!!…read more We were in Baltimore with a few hours to spare in the morning, so what to do?!? First thing that comes to mind is... crab for breakfast! Ok yelp, show me watcha gat!!! Oh, AND Open Early! Unfortunately, we have just a few options pop up (Wha?!? REALLY?!? It's Baltimore, aren't they famous for crab?!?), so we choose to hit Blue Moon Cafe! Yelp directions are on point and only street parking from what we can see. We brave the brisk chilly breeze of early May to get to the cafe... BRRRR!!! Inside motif has a dark theme to it and small patronage area. Per the lovely Nicki who greeted us, Blue has been on Food Network a few times... DDD, Best Things I Ever Ate & Destination FOOD... so settin' the bar HIGH from the start! Ok, okay I dig the confidence!! Menu is via QR code but Nicki, becuz she's fun, excitedly announces the recs to the newbies, which are Sweet Baby Jesus & Cap'n Crunch French Toast. Thanks for the heads up! Sweet Baby has lump Crab in the dish so that's a confident YES! for that, but I spy something more appealing than Cap'n Crunch... Let's EAT! SWEET BABY JESUS!: Wifey and I wanted crab and this was Blue's big gun! So YES! To The Dish! It may appear as a simple Hash Brown dish but it is so much GLORIOUS than that! To start, Hash browns are browned & crisped perfectly and then the angel's touch happens... lump crab (generous portion) with Old Bay Seasoning, fresh diced tomatoes, melty cheese, 2 over Medium eggs and homemade Hollandaise Sauce. HOLEY MOLEY! DEEE-LISH! Generous crab serving allows you to have crab with EVERY bite of this dish! Mmmmm :) Love the ooey gooey stretchy cheese! Love the runny eggs! And that Hollandaise?!?! LEGIT! This heavenly dish deserves all the hype! The only drawback was the dish got cold fast because of the cold weather outside I assume. By the time I finished my order, and got to helping Wifey, not as WOWzers compared to when it first dropped on our table. Now we know... eat fast when it's cold outside. lol SHUT THE FLUFF UP! FRENCH TOAST: Once I read "peanut butter" in its ingredients, no way I was passing this up! Buh Bye fan fave Cap'n Crunch, maybe next time lol. Officially, menu "says" it's a Pretzel encrusted French Toast, layered with chunky peanut butter, marshmallow fluff and Chocolate drizzle... allegedly. The chocolate drizzle was not present when the plate landed but generous melty smooth peanut butter completely covered the top of the marshmallow fluff. Sliced Granny Smith apples and thin pretzels also topped the dish, with a powdered sugar drizzle over the entire plate. I asked for extra peanut butter on the side just because no one ever puts enough for my liking lol. And whattya know?!? This newest iteration of the dish was FABULOUS! Did they run out of stuff? Who cares! The synergy these items had with each other just made an amazing bite each and every time. BOMB-alicious!!! I don't really like marshmallow but it wasn't a hindrance here. I devoured the entire thing. Compliments to the chef! ;) VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION! Definitely worth a visit and a return visit, as well! If it's cold outside, focus on eating not chit chatting lol ENJOY! :)

    My husband and I recently dined at Blue Moon Cafe in Fells Point, Baltimore, and were disappointed…read moreby our experience. The issue began when my husband politely asked a question about a menu item because it appeared to be spelled "browns" rather than "hash browns." He simply wanted clarification regarding what the item was. The server asked him for context, and he explained that he was referring to the item as it appeared on the menu. She then replied, "Oh, now I have context. That's a hash brown." My husband explained that because of the way it was written, he wasn't sure what it meant and was only asking a question before ordering. At that point, the server's tone became noticeably louder, and she responded, "Well, I only work here. I didn't write the menu." We found this response unnecessarily defensive and dismissive. At no point was my husband criticizing the server or correcting her. He was simply trying to understand a menu item. Shortly afterward, a different server began assisting our table, which gave us the impression that the original server was upset by the interaction. When my husband placed his order, he specifically requested that the restaurant's "animal sauce" be served on the side. The menu does not explain what animal sauce is, so he wanted to try it separately before putting it on his meal. When the food arrived, the dish was completely covered in the sauce rather than having it on the side as requested. Afterward, we learned that the sauce is a mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise. My husband does not eat mayonnaise and ketchup on eggs, which is exactly why he requested the sauce on the side. Unfortunately, because of the uncomfortable interaction earlier, he did not feel comfortable asking for the dish to be corrected and simply tried to eat around it. The meal was not inexpensive, and because the sauce had been poured over most of the food, he was unable to enjoy it. Approximately 80% of his meal was left uneaten. We understand that mistakes happen and that restaurant environments can be busy. However, customers should be able to ask questions about menu items and make simple requests without feeling uncomfortable or concerned about how those requests will be received. Description of waitress: Caucasian Middle aged Heavy set Extremely loud voice Rude ( nice/nasty) We wanted to share this feedback because the interaction negatively impacted our dining experience and left us feeling unwelcome. We hope this feedback is received in the spirit intended so that future guests feel comfortable asking questions and making requests without concern.
