Mr. E and I are on a mission to support more Black owned businesses, and started the new year out…read moreby enjoying brunch at Yeiboh Kitchen in Baltimore, MD. It was a gorgeous day, the first Sunday in January, 2026. We arrived at 11:00 am, when they open, because we wanted to make sure to be ahead of the well documented Sunday brunch crowd. Yeiboh Kitchen does not take reservations (although they do reserve for special parties/events). Yeiboh Kitchen has an intimate outside patio dining area in front for that alfresco experience. When we entered, we were greeted warmly, and waited in comfy chairs for about 10 minutes in the cozy foyer complete with fireplace, before being seated. There was a mix of smooth R&B and mellow Hip Hop flowing on the PA system - and then the DJ set it up, and continued the vibe! The bar, open kitchen, and cheerful wait staff enhanced our anticipation of the food that was in store! We were not disappointed! I had the Jerk Honey Glazed Lollipop Lamb Chops AND Grits! It comes with 3 chops, cooked to your specification. (Medium for me) I was trying to scrape my plate for the last morsel of grits, and suck the Lamb bones, it was so good! The hubby ordered the Deep Fried Salmon and Grits, served with a savory Cajun cream sauce, scallion and tomatoes - and 2, fluffy scrambled eggs! He absolutely loved his meal! We also had the Deep Fried Biscuit Flight. Three biscuits - Salted Caramel Apple, Strawberry Cream, and Banana Pudding - perfectly fried in a way you would not even think they were fried, but for that ever-so light, crispy texture on the crust, and every bite - perfection! I cannot say which biscuit I enjoyed the most - I'll need to visit a few more times to make a determination! For beverages, we had coffee, and I ordered my (usual) mimosa. Our server, "Ms. Sunday," was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The Chef, Mr. Chris Davis, greeted us at our table during the meal, which was a wonderful, elegant touch! He explained about the fried biscuits (without giving away too much!)- and we complimented him on his culinary innovations in the kitchen! The Sunday brunch patrons began to arrive around noon, and by the time we left - close to 1:00pm, it was jumping! If you are in or near Baltimore, or plan to travel to the area soon, please put this restaurant on your list. Parking is at a premium, so if you can, arrive by Uber or Lyft. The experience will be well worth the trip!

The service was genuinely great--attentive without hovering--and the dishes (we mostly ordered off HH small plates menu) came out surprisingly fast, which every parent can appreciate. We sat on the back patio, and it gave the whole night a relaxed, almost mini-getaway vibe. Not always easy to pull off a date-night feel with little ones, but this came close. Already looking forward to coming back for happy hour and soaking it in a bit longer. See you soon! I only had a margarita off the HH menu and it tasted a little watered down, which is why I took off a star. I'll definitely be back with a full drink review!

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.

Got together with a few friends for dinner during the holidays and it never disappoints. We stopped in on a Sunday, early evening around 5:30. It was pretty quiet so we were quickly seated at our table. Our server for the evening, Josh was phenomenal. Josh is pretty much knowledgeable about the entire menu and gave us wonderful recommendations from food to cocktails. And answered any questions that we had, I wound definitely sit in his section all the time. I highly recommend. Our table ordered a plethora of entrees, from the Chesapeake Cioppino( a seasfood stew with clams, mussels, rockfish, Maryland crab and fennel), a phenomenal dish and perfect for cold evenings. The Rockfish entree was really delicious and I was blown away with the crispy okra. Definitely a nice touch to the dish. It sits in a goan curry sauce, so delicious. You can never go wrong with their burger. The cracked pepper bacon along with the caramelized onion jam was really good on this burger and it was cooked perfectly, nice and juicy. We also had the Shenandoah lamb and the shrimp and grits, which were not pictured, my friends enjoyed those dishes as well. They have nice cocktail menu as well, all the cocktails are named after songs, such as Like a G6 for example. If you're in the Mount Vernon area of town, stop in and check them out. They also offer brunch and happy hour service as well. You won't be disappointed SYOY I

Like if they are doing it clock-wise, you can't switch giving orders with the person after you. I thought that was funny because when the orders came, they still had to ask "who's who." Anyway, overall would reco for a mall area. Jambalaya was a hit - white, brown or pasta and the meat was generous. I'd say most servings are pretty generous. Fair kids meal pricing too, with usual crayons and activity paper menu. If the server take nice group picture I would have rated 6! J/k. Only reason it's 4 is because I don't feel the servers have the "right" energy for that day. I would have understand if it was one of them but both of them were almost nonchalant. LOL!

And the vegan options? Shockingly good. Thanks to the Gardein chick'n plant‑based options, there are actually numerous vegan dishes to choose from--you're not stuck with the sad "token vegan entrée" or piecing together a meal from sides. It's real variety with real flavor. And bonus: they don't cross‑contaminate. The vibe hits that perfect sweet spot between sports bar and local pub--lively, comfortable, and never chaotic. Staff stays on top of everything, too. Drinks refilled, plates cleared, questions answered... they're attentive without hovering. And the table‑side ordering system is killer. It makes the whole experience smoother, faster, and honestly kind of fun. No waiting around, no flagging anyone down--you're in control. Yard House nails the combo of great food, great service, and great atmosphere. It's the kind of place you walk out of thinking, "Yep, we're coming back."

Set within The Ivy Hotel, the space carries a quiet elegance that immediately sets the tone. Rich textures, warm lighting, and a sense of history create an atmosphere that feels intimate and composed. What stands out first is the hospitality. The service is gracious, attentive, and welcoming. The menu reflects a similar sensibility: seasonal, sustainable, and thoughtfully sourced, with a clear emphasis on freshness and organic ingredients. Each dish feels grounded and intentional, with flavors that are satisfying and not pretentious. There's a clear awareness of how the experience engages all five senses, from presentation to aroma to texture, which elevates the meal beyond just taste. The cocktail program mirrors this approach. The list is seasonal and frequently evolving, offering creative, ingredient-driven drinks that feel just as considered as the food. I had the Aspen Fir which was distinctive, refreshing, and unlike anything I've had before. It was a perfect example of how thoughtfully they approach even the smallest details. There's a steadiness to Magdalena that's easy to appreciate. It doesn't chase trends or try to impress through excess yet instead, it delivers a consistently beautiful experience rooted in quality, warmth, and attention to detail. It's the kind of place you leave feeling both well taken care of and quietly impressed.

How can I best describe this restaurant? Ummm, I know-Par excellence!!!!!!!!!!!…read more First, the decor was simply breathtaking and classy. A beauty in each corner that you turned. It's perfect enough for an intimate date or an evening with family. Next, the ENTIRE staff was amazing! The hostess was warm and sang happy birthday to my boyfriend upon arrival. Our waiter, LaQuan, was AH-MA-ZING! His recommendations were spot on and he was very accommodating the entire time. Excellent service from valet to the bar. Drinks: the cocktails list was extensive as were their wines. We ordered and rate the following: Hot Honey Rye Sour-Excellent! Excellent!! Excellent!!! This drink was smooth and satisfying. Magdalena Espresso Martini-This drink was FANTASTIC! Freshly brewed and now in my top 10! Boulevardier-My boyfriend described this as a smoooooth drink! He loved it. We weren't too fond of the Siberian Root because of the overpowering taste of liquor against the other flavors but all of the other drinks were incredible. Food: For starters we had the following: Canape Board: stuffed wings, sweet Jesus oysters, and chicken liver mousse. The sweet Jesus oysters and chicken liver mousse were impeccable! The stuffed wings were good. The flavors weren't bad but it wasn't as memorable as the oysters and chicken liver mousse. Entrees: I ordered the Dry Aged Rohan Duck Breast which came with carrot bbq sauce, red miso carrot purée, grilled baby carrots, freekeh, honeybush jus. O-M-GEEE! The culinary perfection in this dish was on full display. The duck was juicy and savory. The carrot bbq sauce was divine. The grilled carrots and carrot puree was beyond perfection. Bringing each ingredient together well. It was SO good and memorable. My boyfriend ordered the 8oz grass-fed Ribeye which came with confit sweet potato, fried broccoli, bitter green salsa verde, bordelaise sauce. I took a bite of the ribeye and wondered "is there anything that this chef cannot master?" It was soooooooooooooo tender and juicy. To end a beautiful evening, the waiter sang happy birthday over their incredible Banoffee Cake. This cake was divine and a tease (smaller portion) but honey! We couldn't have left without enjoying their dessert. I cannot wait to visit this place again. They're worth the trip.
