It is gorgeous, but dark, and the seating is spaced out enough to give you a bit of privacy. This is a great place to visit when you want to impress a date and ask them all of the awkward background questions about why their last relationship ended. And when you want to drink a fancy cocktail and don't mind paying $15-$20 for the privilege. The bartenders know what they are doing and are super professional, but probably are not trying to listen to your life story. You're also probably not going to meet new people here. It's not that kind of vibe. Basically, this is an upscale cocktail lounge, not Cheers (or Fraziers). And it is a very good one. I love stopping in for a cocktail on the way to dinner on the Avenue, or on the walk home. It is always a treat.

My friends and I chose Of Love & Regret as our local neighborhood brunch destination on a Sunday…read moremorning. It was dimly lit, lowkey, and quiet- great for our group of 5 (plus one baby). The service was a little prompt but a little confusing as we had two waitresses that did not seem to be communicating since we got asked the same question multiple times by both. The food did come out quickly though! I ordered The Roma sandwich and swapped the fries for the kale caesar salad. The chicken was juicy and paired well with the fresh tomato, field greens, and creamy aioli. The fresh rosemary focaccia was buttery, however, it was still dry and flaky and fell apart rather easily so it was hard to actually eat it as a sandwich. The kale salad was veryyy creamy and heavily dressed with lots of cheese so that's great if that's your jam- I just enjoy a lighter salad. I did steal a french fry from my friend and they were salty, crispy, and quite delicious. The rest of the food was ordered by my friends and are their flavor reports. The hangover burrito was devoured by my two friends, but the words "structural integrity" were mentioned multiple times- unsure if this was due to a weak tortilla, wrapping skills, or a combination of both. My friend's shroom burger was average- the patty was a little dry and underseasoned, but the umami mushrooms and garlicky sauce saved it. The beet burger was savory, paired well with the vinegar and aioli sauces, and is a great vegetarian option. My biggest complaint about this establishment was the price. The food was all decent, but my bill for one drink and one sandwich was $50 total, which I deem as pretty steep.

The staff were super friendly and accommodating and so happy to have us. The food while okay seemed to have a similar flavor palette all around. Both the roll and crab dip had a sort of sweetish flavor that while not terrible was unusual and not what I was looking for. This is definitely a must visit for any local Baltimorean and any Edgar Allen poe lover. While I did not take any more photos there are so many cool decorations everywhere! There is indoor and outdoor seating and plenty of bar seating. The biggest table looked like it could only hold a party of 6, so this is more of an intimate setting.

I had an unbelievably bad experience at Owl Bar that I need to share so that nobody ever goes…read morethrough that experience again. My friend called the manager to confirm we could be seated at a table when we arrived while we awaited our third person to join late because we were in a rush to get to the nearby Lyric Theater. The manager confirmed that this was fine. When we arrived, we were told that the table wasn't ready and we couldn't be seated until the third person arrived, even though the manager promised us that wouldn't happen. We weren't able to be seated until fifteen minutes after our reservation time because of this, and we had to beg the server to let us sit. The experience only got worse from there. Our waitress checked in on us once in 25 minutes. She took our order, and the food didn't come. 10 minutes... 20... 30... 40... no updates from her and no food. It got to the point where we had to leave before our entrees even arrived. The only thing that did come, the duck fat fries, were inedible. The duck flavor was so aggressively strong and pungent that you couldn't even taste the fries. We asked our server, the hostess, and the manager for help during this experience, and nothing was done for us. We were told as we were leaving that they were extremely backed up and that the kitchen often has a 50-minute wait time. This isn't true, however; other tables received their food even when they ordered after us, and there were many open tables in the restaurant. Worst of all, they still made us pay! We had to tell them that we wouldn't pay for food we didn't receive. Not a single person who works at Owl Bar offered us anything or tried to turn our night around in any way. I cannot stress this enough: NEVER go to this restaurant. If you're ever in Baltimore, do everything in your power to eat anywhere else--or even just go to your show hungry! This experience was one of the worst I've ever had. Shame on Owl Bar.

Upset I only got one photo of our food but maybe I was just too busy taking it all in. We made…read moreemail reservations about 4 or so days in advance and opted to sit at the bar when we arrived. Everything about the experience was just as smooth as can be. Really cool bartenders and the owner, Bud, is a stand up guy. We got the burrata and garlic bread followed by the short rib pastry and venison chop. We didn't leave any crumbs to any dish, even the pot du creme we had for dessert, which was also delectable. There's just something special about a place where everything feels truly handcrafted all the way down to the menu, which is always evolving. Coming back for a birthday dinner soon because Peter's Inn won our hearts!

I was warmly greeted at the entrance by Bud. Atmosphere was fun, bustling, lively, enjoyable. Because I was seated at the bar, I ended up in pleasant conversation with neighbors on both sides. A special thanks to Noah, server/bartender/human extraordinaire, who maintained composure - and excellent conversation - despite nonstop orders. A few caveats... Yes, it's a small space. As other reviewers have noted, it's not the ideal spot for a large group. Is it cramped? People do need to squeeze past each other to get around. But it was never uncomfortable at all. Other reviewers have complained about the reservation system. OK, it's slightly old school. Not quite seamless. But I also appreciate that a restaurant not owned or managed by a soulless corporate group needs to allocate resources carefully. To me, emailing for a reservation was such a negligible inconvenience for the pleasure of my meal at Peter's Inn. In exchange, I found a warm and welcoming environment that is not duplicated elsewhere. I can't wait to go back and try something new on the menu.

Came here for Baltimore Restaurant week during brunch for the $25 bottomless buffet special. Its…read moreusually hard to get a breakfast buffet wrong but unfortunately this buffet experience was lackluster. They offered a variety of items: deviled eggs, scrambled eggs, chicken and waffles, beef and chorizo quesadillas, sausage, home fries, and French toast. They advertised fruit salad on the menu but they didn't have it out on the day we went. For starters, the food was lukewarm. Everything could have tasted so much better if it was warm. Even when they would refill the pans, everything was still not warm enough. The restaurant was not packed but they were slow to refill for the parties that were there. When we tried to go back for a second plate, most of the items weren't replenished and the line was getting longer. It was so bad that one group asked to pay for their drinks and leave because they weren't able to get any food. My option of each item: Deviled eggs- yolk mixture was on the drier side and bland Scrambled eggs- they were ok. Just needed to be warm Chicken and waffles- it was giving "chicken tender on eggo waffle" chicken was better than the bland waffle. It also didn't help that the syrup they had was cold and thick. It made the waffle (and French toast) colder and hard to swallow. French toast- the first batch was (with the exception of being cold) perfectly cooked and dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar. The refill batches were so burnt and hard to chew and they didn't bother putting powdered sugar on them. Again, the cold syrup didn't help. Beef and chorizo quesadillas- they may have been a crowd favorite because getting a second serving was hard because they kept going quickly and took a while to replenish. They just needed to be warmer and served with sour cream. Home fries- great with the peppers and onions. Just need to be warmer. Sausage- my least favorite thing because it didn't taste like Sausage. It was very dry. Sadly, the food was a epic fail. This may be a great place for cocktails because the bartender mixed our margaritas perfectly. They had a Build Your Own Margarita menu with many different flavor options. I opted for the watermelon margarita with a Tajin rim. Delicious! My friend had a pineapple mango margarita with sugar rim and he was impressed also. The drinks earned them an extra star because otherwise, I think the food and the slow refilling of the buffet earned it 2 stars.

The service was top-notch from the moment we walked in. The hostess even gave us a little tour so we could decide where we wanted to sit. On our first visit, we chose the bar and completely lucked out, we got to meet the cocktail master and some of the other staff while they were doing tasting tests. They walked us through the history and inspiration behind the cocktails and creations, which made the experience feel so much more personal. The atmosphere is lovely. I started with the Japanese Breakfast, which was tart and boozy, while my husband got the Pineapple Express, which had such a unique flavor. I didn't love the fizz, but he absolutely did! We then asked our server for recommendations and ended up with the Duck Season for me and the Spanish Moss for him. The Spanish Moss was a little too sweet for my taste, but the Duck Season was, without exaggeration, one of the most interesting things I've ever tasted. It was savory, rich, and deep, almost velvety and chocolate-like, despite not actually being chocolate. The entire combination of flavors was incredible. On our next visit, we sat outside, and the ambiance was just as wonderful. This time we tried a Stranger in Paradise and an I'm a Baijiu A Drink, and both had incredibly detailed and thoughtful flavor profiles. Between the cocktails, the staff, the atmosphere, and the fact that every drink feels like its own little experience, I absolutely cannot wait to go back!

Came here with a friend to check out the food and we did not leave disappointed!…read more It's very clean inside and gives a pretty neutral vibe to it. I like the high tops more than the tables. I super love that they have delicious mocktails that aren't busy second thoughts. We ordered most of the appetizers for our table and the staff made sure we made it work. The shrimp toast is great, the tuna tartare is velvety and flavorful, and the tots were crunchy. We didn't feel rushed by staff at all, just other patrons at the bar who I guess we're waiting as we could hear them trying to figure out when we were leaving. We both got mocktails and they were super fun. We both ordered the saturnine and the one more. I didn't even miss the booze. The banchan of the day was great, potato salad, crab salad, two different kimchi's, just in love. The okonomi tots were crispy and looked great, which is why we ordered them. The shrimp toast has two nice sauces that compliment the flavor of the shrimp toast. There wasn't a think that we didn't enjoy that we ordered. Dessert was an earl grey creme brulee, but it wasn't overly sweet. It had a nice saltiness to it that made it that much better. Then there was this lovely strawberry dessert and I don't remember the name of it but it was amazing. We will definitely be back for another girl's night to try more things like the salad.
