I tried a glass of the 2024 Karl Josef Piesporter, and it was sweet without being overwhelming. It has a laid back vibe, so there's no rush to leave. It's a great place to sit and chat for a while. They're dog friendly, though I will say the dog next to us got a little active with their friend, which was a bit distracting. Overall, it still had a quaint atmosphere. The service was on the slower side, but we weren't in a rush. Just keep that in mind if you're looking for a quicker stop because this spot might not be your best pick. I really enjoyed the wine and the waterfront views, so I'll definitely be back!

And I would say it was a bad start...now to give them a little credit the wine was good and we also received a free shot from the bartender. But other than that it was downhill. Now my man had already paid for brunch which we were completely disappointed because when I tell you it was bare!?! I've never seen a "brunch" that didn't come with pancakes, French toast, some type of meat to choose from etc. This buffet "brunch" had quiche, soupy shrimp and grits, smoked salmon, bagels, and Caesar salad. Are you serious!? If he didn't get the discounted tickets it would have costs $40/pp!? Then on top of that they add 20% gratuity and the bill came out the over $90!!! And this is with (2) glasses of wine and one cocktail he got. Now he didn't show me the check but how in the hell is that work $90!?! So I don't know if they charged us for the "free" shot!?! The restaurant inside was pretty nice and put together for a small venue size. The outdoor area was set up nicely to be shaded from the sun and see and feel the water and people watch. But it's a hell no for me...too overpriced and the buffet was trash.

We enjoyed a bottle of wine at the table as well. No dessert. Service was good and attentive.

We were excited but needed to try it for ourselves to see if it still had the Amadeo's service, great food, and ambiance! Let me tell you I want to gate keep. I really, really do. But this place is doing it right. The ambiance is the same but with a hip new twist. Same lovely old time bar but new artwork and table set up. The service was still top notch. Becca was still there and we were so happy to see her! The staff were so nice and all of this was before the food. They had experts in wines to help us pair with the meal. But we were blown away by the food! We got the tomato pie. Now stop there. That tomato pie is 100% perfection. I'm not over exaggerating! 100% perfect. I will die on that hill any day. The yellow tail crudo was light and freshing after that rich pie. But it was a perfect platelet cleanser before the mezza manichie. The pasta sauce was light while also savory. It was honestly the perfect meal. I know they switch up the menu but please keep that tomato pie! It's so damn good. I can't give Amadeo's higher than a 5 star, but I would if I could. It's a smaller place so plan ahead. But we will be back time and time again. Thanks for keeping this lovely Little Italy staple open and thriving.

After ordering food, I took the kids to the bocce court while my partner could enjoy the wine and watch us from above. I know he appreciated having the break and a good glass of wine to go with it. Service was friendly and the food was fantastic. We ordered several dishes including several types of pasta, meatballs, cheesy bread and a caesar salad. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and a great vibe overall. I already have a reservation when we pass through Baltimore again in a few weeks.

There was about 8 of us and we were seated downstairs in the bar area at a high top. Despite there being a reservation, it felt like our party was a last minute thought. The table was cramped and the ambiance of the downstairs bar area was dingy and dimly-lit. Our server, who was also the only bartender, did his best to multi task all night, although his demeanor was not very warm or friendly. I ordered the gluten free version of the Samantha fettuccine. Despite this being the only noodle they don't make in house, I had to pay extra for it. Annoying, but not totally unexpected. What was disappointing was the total price for the dish. It came out to be almost $50.... I believe the pasta is marked as market price due to the inclusion of crab meat but when it arrived, there was barely any in the dish. The flavor of the sauce was good but definitely not worth the price tag. I won't be returning anytime soon.

I had an incredible experience at Benny's this weekend. We had a party of 9 for a birthday dinner…read moreand my wife wanted to go to a Mexican restaurant nearby that didn't take reservations. 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.

My husband and I have always loved Capital Grille, which is why we were especially disappointed…read morewith our experience yesterday evening. There were several issues throughout the evening that made us uncomfortable and left us feeling that the service was not consistent with the level of hospitality we have come to expect from Capital Grille. First, when we were initially greeted, a team member approached our table speaking Spanish. My husband and I are Black, not Hispanic or Latino, and neither of us gave any indication that we spoke Spanish. While I happened to understand him because I took Spanish classes as a teenager, I found it inappropriate and uncomfortable to be greeted in Spanish based on what appeared to be an assumption about our ethnicity. I understand that people come from different cultures and that Spanish may be someone's first language, but guests should not be approached under the assumption that they are a particular ethnicity simply based on their appearance. Unfortunately, that experience continued with our waitress. For a significant portion of our dinner, she primarily spoke to my husband rather than acknowledging or engaging with both of us. When it was time to order drinks, my husband ordered two drinks for himself. He was not ordering on my behalf; those were simply the two drinks he wanted for himself. However, she appeared to assume that he was speaking for both of us and immediately walked away after he placed his order without ever asking me what I would like. I was genuinely stunned because I did not even have an opportunity to speak or place an order. Throughout the rest of the meal, my husband repeatedly had to direct her attention toward me so that I could participate in the conversation and be addressed directly. This left me feeling as though another assumption had been made about our relationship dynamic--that my husband was expected to speak for me or that I was not expected to order for myself. Neither of us gave any indication that this was how we wanted to be treated. The food itself was also not quite what we are accustomed to at Capital Grille. Our meal seemed noticeably blander than usual. I ordered a filet mignon cooked medium-well. While the first few cuts appeared to be cooked appropriately, the center of the steak was visibly bright red, as shown in the photo I have attached. For reference, I understand medium-well to have only a slight amount of pink remaining, rather than a bright-red center. What was most frustrating, however, was that I never had an opportunity to address the issue with my steak. Our waitress did not return to check on us after our entrées were served and we began eating. We watched her attend to the table immediately beside us and other tables, but she did not make an effort to check on our meal. We even attempted to get her attention, but she would not look in our direction. At that point, we were tired of waiting and I simply wanted the check. When she eventually returned to the table, she immediately apologized for the delay, which was confusing because the delay could have been avoided had she checked on us or acknowledged us while attending to the surrounding tables. I do want to acknowledge that the General Manager came to our table earlier in the meal to ask how we were doing. However, at that point we had just finished our appetizers, which were fine but not exceptional, and had only just received our entrées. We therefore had not yet had an opportunity to experience or address the issues that ultimately occurred later in the meal. What disappointed me most was not simply that the food or service fell short on one occasion. It was the combination of feeling that assumptions were being made about us based on our race and appearance, followed by feeling largely overlooked throughout the meal. We are Black, and being greeted as though we were Hispanic or Latino, followed by the apparent assumption that my husband should speak and order on my behalf, made the experience particularly uncomfortable. My husband and I are very familiar with Capital Grille and have always enjoyed dining there. We understand that individual experiences can vary and that mistakes happen, but this experience was noticeably different from the level of service we have previously received. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, particularly regarding the importance of treating each guest as an individual rather than making assumptions about their race, ethnicity, language, or relationship dynamic. We would appreciate the opportunity for management to review what occurred and address these concerns with the appropriate team members. We value Capital Grille and would like to feel confident that when we return, we will receive the attentive, respectful, and inclusive service that we have come to associate with the restaurant.
