    I'm really glad I checked this restaurant out on the 5th floor of the Renaissance Hotel. Malik was my server and he was very nice. I got there right when it opened at 6 PM. And I got the bang bang shrimp as an appetizer and it rested on a bed of kale salad I think. It was delicious but I have had better bang bang shrimp. Then dinner I got a chicken main course meal and it was very, very good. It was enough to share for two people so I took the leftovers back to the room. For dessert I got the cheesecake with strawberries, and it was good, buy average. I would think anybody that would stop in and have dinner here would be happy with that choice. They have a really big bar to sit at if you have a group of people as well. Everybody here was very kind and nice and you could tell they really enjoyed their job. I would for sure return here and eat dinner if I was back in the city.

    I would avoid eating here if you don't have to. The food is very mediocre and extremely overpriced for what you get. You can see the picture of the bang bang shrimp that I ordered to go, and there are about five pieces of shrimp in the box. It cost $16 for that! The shrimp was pretty good, but definitely not worth the price.

    I want to compliment the hostess at the front desk of the restaurant. She is always so pleasant and provides outstanding customer service. We sat at the bar until the restaurant opened at 5 pm, the bartender was very nice and made good drinks. We dined on a Saturday. Overall, the service and food was good. However, my hubby's steak was not cooked as he requested. We asked to speak to the manager and a supervisor, I believe her name is Monique came to our table. Monique was excellent and corrected the issue. She went above and beyond to make sure we received the best service. Thank you to her. She was on point in addressing our concerns. The ambiance is beautiful. We sat by the window and enjoyed the view. The food was good. We would definitely return.

    Salad.

    At a convention in Renaissance Harborplace hotel. Watertable is the ONLY restaurant in the hotel. Their ONLY dinner offering is their disgusting buffet on Saturday nights. No a la carte available. All I wanted was a salad. I bypassed the cold dry teriyaki drumsticks and wings, the cold seadoned rice, the dry hockey puck falafel (cold as well) and the dyy looking 'street' corn. I did take a slice of grilled chicken, which was almost at room temperature. You'd think a nice restaurant offering a $30 buffet would have a selection of salad ingredients even if food optios were lacking. You would be wrong. The choices were salad greens or Caeser salad greens. Toppings were limited to dry Parmesan shredded cheese and burnt croutons. The Caesar dressing was decent, but probably bottled. Hubby said teriyaki chicken was cold, barely seasoned but covered in cold bacon while the rice was badly seasoned, cold and dry. Vegetable soup tasted like the only seasoning was black pepper. Beer from a can sold by a local brewery, Guilford Hall, was excellent! Cucumber-Rita was fun, but I was looking for cucumbers in the salad! I think they need to contract with Golden Corral If they want to please customers with a buffet

    nothing fancy but the ambiance and views were decent. A little overpriced for a shrimp salad but the Old Fashioned was a hit!

    Various Lunch Brunch Items
    Dan M.

    I came back for their Easter Brunch ($40). I thought the breakfast was superior to the lunch. For breakfast, I was able to have the pancakes, pork bacon, chicken and pork sausage, breakfast potatoes, various fruits, an omelet consisting of sausage, jalapenos, cheddar, and onions. On top of the chef making made to order omelets, there were waffles available. There were multiple kinds of pastries as well as oatmeal too. My favorite part of the breakfast was the omelet. For the lunch section, I sampled the salad bar, roasted vegetables, forbidden rice, chicken piccata, and orecchiette in an Alfredo sauce with peas. There was a carving station too that consisted of prime rib and ham. It was okay at best. The best was the ham and chicken piccata. The pasta was plain and the prime rib was cooked way too long. For dessert, I had the lemon bar, cherry tart, and chocolate cake. The desserts as a whole were good. My favorite was the lemon bar.

    Shrimp and chorizo pizza

    I love coming to Watertable The view of Baltimore is special. The staff works to make the visit comfortable and does go the extra steps And it is just a comfortable place to eat, spend some time and relax. The soups are good. The crab bisque has the right amount of crab. The turkey blt and the executive lunch will get you in and out in a timely manner. The pizza was excellent-thin and crunchy. And the salads are solid. Easy parking in the hotel or galleria and a place to get your thoughts together and recharge.

One was visibly grey and desiccated and made it up to us, it made the entire table smell disgusting. The other 3 looked okay visually, but smelled rotten. I've never had an issue with oysters here before. I'm not sure if the shuckers were having an off day, but man. I was so disappointed! We were seated upstairs and our service was also lacking a bit, not getting refills quickly, etc. definitely not the best time!

    First visit to this Baltimore restaurant. Paid street parking, well lit street, and a prime corner…read morelocation, Open Table reservation, seated immediately by hostess in 2 level restaurant with great ambiance, large windows with great view of street traffic, loud noise level on the first floor due to one table near us, food served in a timely fashion, delicious entrees - small cesar salad, fried cod, shrimp, French fries, grilled pork chop, sweet potato purée, grilled broccolini, and chocolate torte. 5/5 MY ISSUE: As my party prepared to leave through main entrance after we finished dinner, a sign blocked the main entrance and directed us to exit through bar entrance. I turned back around to photograph the signage, while my party headed to the bar exit door. When I turned back to leave, a manager coming down the stairs glaring at me asked me, "Is everything all right?" Me: Yes, I was taking a pic. Manager: I know. I wanted to know if everything is ok. Still in same weird vein, like a dog with a fav chew toy. Me: Is there a problem with me taking a pic? Manager: I didn't ask you why you were taking a pic. I wanted to know if something was wrong. You were over there taking a pic and the hostess wasn't there. Sidebar: This same manager passed our table at least 3 times during our visit with no greeting, nor stopping by our table to check in with a little small talk. NOW....he asks me is something wrong nary a smile but with a .....what in the world is she doing. Me: YES, this is petty. No, you asked me if something was wrong BECAUSE I was taking a pic. If I needed something, then I'd ask the waiters at the next stand (only a few tables away) You saw us sitting at the table at the entrance and never spoke to us once. I will never return! RUDE MANAGER Interaction 0/5 Note: All managers, stop by each diner's table, greet customers with a smile, DON'T be obnoxious and rude. THANK patrons, APOLOGIZE when something goes wrong, always say COME BACK AND SEE US! FYI: Manager for your information, I'm a Yelper. I enjoy leaving honest and detailed feedback on places I visit. My time and money are valuable to me as I curate adventures. This was most definitely not one of those times!

The decor was sexy and very exclusive, felt like a speakeasy vibes as the decor transported you into another era. It was magical Service was good, our waitress was really helpful with recommending good drinks. This was a post dinner bar visit so we mainly had drinks and added a few treats: colossal shrimp cocktail and warm butter cake. The colossal shrimp cocktail contained some of the largest prawns that I've ever had. They were fresh and perfectly prepared but one was enjoy to fill you up. The warm butter cake was sinfully good! Warm, soft, and sweet. The drinks were AMAZING! I ordered the Recurrence Eternal which contained gin, pear, and champagne. There were other ingredients in there but I wanted to spotlight these few. This was the perfect drink which will creep up on you LOL but it was sooooooooooo good. My boyfriend enjoyed his whiskey drink as well. Overall, the music, ambiance, drinks, and small bites made this place perfect. Can't wait to return

I have never been splashed in the face during the shaking of a drink that was being made by the bartender. The bartender was of a different race and seemed annoyed by my presence from the jump. I had been splashed in the face twice until a customer of his race came and sat next to me. I did pay attention to his behavior while the woman was seated next to me and his drink mixing wasn't as aggressive. I had to go to the bathroom during my visit and told him I would pay before going to the bathroom so he wouldn't make any assumptions about me. I asked him to keep my drink behind the bar because the woman was still seated next to me. I came back and the woman eventually left. I was still finishing my drink and I was splashed 2 additional times. The last time I made him aware of what he was doing. His apology was disingenuous and passive aggressive. I left after this even though I had intentions on ordering desert and listening to the musicians that were about to get started. I did inform the manager about my experience prior to leaving. I'm leaving the review bc the experience still bothers me. If they have cameras at the bar I'm sure my reaction to the splashing can be observed.

I went an hour early before everyone else was supposed to be there to get on the waitlist, but the wait was until 10 pm!! So I quickly switched gears and called Benny's because I've heard great things about them. The gentlemen who answered the phone was so kind, and was able to squeeze us in on the fly on a Saturday night, and they weren't slow. Got there super early because I was already in the area, and my wife and I decided to have an old fashioned and an espresso martini at the bar while we waited and they were excellent. The ambiance was upscale but still managed to be relaxed and comfortable. We had a lovely dinner, the waiter was busy but was still attentive and patient. Our whole experience was awesome, so we were already going back in the future. Yesterday I realized a mistake on my bank account from the bar charge, so I called around 6 pm and spoke to the same gentlemen as before. He got all my info and promised he'd call back in 5 minutes. I didn't really expect 5 minutes because I know how crazy the dinner rush would be at an Italian restaurant with a Wednesday wine special. Not even 3 minutes later he called back, and explained what happened, fixed it and I got a follow up text immediately letting us know the refund was already in process. Now, I've been in the service industry and I was a bartender, so I understand that I'm going to be a little biased here but from beginning to end Benny's went above and beyond. They clearly appreciate their customers and love their work, it shows.
