There is a secret black door to enter. You can make reservations however, I was unaware that reservations were needed. We waited for about 20 minutes before a table opened up. Of course, the lights are dimmed inside with a very chill atmosphere. It is also pretty spacious inside for Speakeasy. We enjoy as it was something different to try. I will definitely return

9pm Saturday Night…read more Homecoming Weekend Everyplace is lit tonight. That is a good and bad thing. Good for the vibes and bad for the parking . We intended on going to Sagamore Pendry but the parking was horrendous. We parked in 5 min next to the Lush store. Parking was free since the enforcement was over at 6pm. Elk Room has a very extensive list of liquor if you are a connoisseur. We are not. So I ordered an Espresso Martini with the Peach desert. The " Profiterole au Peche " arrives from next door at the Monarch restaurant. Monarch prepares all of the food. The kitchen closes at 12 am midnight . The desert was actually really good. Do you want to know the best part ? The "Dulcey Crunch " . It is like crumble on a Dutch apple pie but better. They could put it into a bag and sell that alone! The icecream is nice but if Monarch hooks up with Taharka Brothers Ice Cream based in Baltimore it would take the taste profile to another level. There is a flaky pastry involved that creates the need for a knife but we managed to cut it with a spoon. Last but not least , our server Michelle poured hot Caramel sauce over the desert once it arrived. You can never go wrong with hot caramel sauce and there was some left over to eat for fun. Overall : Great service Nice atmosphere Wear something cute. Live jazz music Sidebar: The table next to us ordered a PASSION PIT. The ladies at the table compared this drink to a Chinese medicine because of the smell . They were scared to drink it because it had olive oil. 10 min later ... it was still sitting there . It's on the returning favs list.

Fun, speakeasy style cocktail bar with a large menu! Definitely come here with reservations…read more Note that it is a small place, so groups 4 or less are best. It took about an hour-ish for my group to order/drink/hang with one drink but you could maybe do 2 if you tried! We loved everything. Didn't get any food so I can't comment but other folks' dishes looked good. Would definitely come back as there's a ton left I'd like to try - but note it is $20/cocktail.

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

Came here to pregame before the game and decided Outpost wasn't too far…read more We had great service although there were some small communication issues but our server was quick to correct them and ensure we received what we ordered. Grabbed the Farmhouse Benni & Chicken & Waffles. My homegirl throughly enjoyed her benni with dippy egg and all and my C&W was ok. The chicken was dry and somewhat burnt (see pic). I was unsure if it was supposed to be two chicken thighs or one and a half since that's what I received. The calabrian chilli hot honey was very tasting and saved the dish. I always ask for sauces on the side and glad I was able to control how much sweetness I needed for each bite. I was already in a crappy mood and didn't contest my food since it fit and just wanted to try and finish my carafe of mimosa before we needed to leave and watch the game at The Bank. They do have some fun upcoming happenings like a 4 course tequila paired dinner that I was intrigued to try but was sold out. It would be fun to come back and try a paired dinner.

The booking process was incredibly smooth, thanks to Nicole's responsive and helpful communication. On the day of the event, Nicole and Spencer were flexible and accommodating, making sure everything played out exactly as we had hoped. Our guests had an absolute blast and were left in awe. Spencer's performance is engaging and interactive. He involved many of our guests in different parts of the show. We also appreciated that it never felt rushed and we weren't hurried out. Spencer and Nicole took the time to chat with our guests after the show and answer our many questions. Whether you're hosting a private performance or attending a regular show, you'll come away impressed not only by the magic but also by the genuine sense of community Spencer and Nicole create during the few hours you spend inside the bar.

The theater is cool and the decorations are all so interesting. I love the history of the family and how he continues on. It's a two person run show, husband and wife. The wife is an awesome bartender. They have a fantastic drink menu but I always order the same thing no matter how much I say I want to try something different. She makes a salted caramel espresso martini that is out of this world. I'm so addicted. They do not serve food but you can bring in outside food to enjoy up until the show starts. Everyone gets involved in the show. I think that's my favorite part. I got pulled up front and was truly amazed by what he did. I mean how does he know?? Treat yourself to this local in plan sight hidden gem. You will not be disappointed but you will be bewildered.

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.

Happy hour is from 4 to 7 pm. The food was unfortunately subpar. Some of the potatoes were hard,…read morethe battered shrimp still have the tail shell on so when you bit into it you were eating shell. The crème brûlée was probably the best tasting thing that I had from the menu.

In the past we've had a Gimlet here, so we asked and they made us one while we waited, even though it wasn't featured on their online menu. Basically it's a pleasant gin with bright lime juice and probably simple syrup. Very refreshing, and served chilled with a slice of lime in an intricately-etched Nick & Nora coupe. I ordered a freshly-fried $16 Catfish Po' Boy, with lettuce and tomato and a little very lightly-spicy mayo-butter sauce on fresh French Bread. It's a generous enough sandwich that I ate it in two goes, and that bread really crisped-up beautifully flakey! Because we cannot resist, we also got an order of fresh-made deep-fried beignets, little randomly-shaped crispy pastry-dough treats in a sneezeable amount of powdered sugar. It came with chocolate dipping sauce, which was a fun addition. The food and drink were delightful, as were the staff.

Was great that you didn't have to sit at the bar to order it. We sat inside by the window and it was a great breeze. Chargrilled oysters and crawfish bread was very good. I order the seafood platter. Calamari and shrimp were fried a little hard for my liking. Catfish was more like bites instead of a filet. My friend got the crab cakes but said there was a lot of filler. There was a convenience fee added to my check but have no idea what that was for. Also, they automatically add 19% gratuity to the bill. Overall I would revisit to try some other things on the menu.
