First time here, and have been so looking forward to their Mid-Summer's Evening Market Dinner!! From the moment of our arrival, we were treated like welcome guests in someone 's home. Hugs for my friends who are regulars, and a warm hello and handshake for me. After a brief wait for our table of ten, we were seated graciously, and the experience began! Water, drink orders and bread were brought, I think we had at least six or so people checking in, taking orders and refreshing glasses of wine, for those who ordered the $125 wine pairings to the $145 dinner, I was driving, so I ordered two glasses of wine - $22 and $18. The amuse bouche was a tiny BLT and a small glass of clarified gazpacho- never heard of that, but the liquid was clear with tiny bits of red and green peppers and was so flavorful! The first course was yellow corn panne cotta with a smear of jumbo lump crab - oh, wow! Almost my favorite course. My favorite was rockfish ravioli in a basil and clam broth - could have eaten way more than the three of those if it was a main, but they were generously sized!!! The third course, Chicken Ballantine, Summer Vegetables, Natural Jus, was a little strange - there was a small medallion of chicken breast that was, I think, ground and under cooked - spongy, wrapped in some veg, maybe bok choy?, and then wrapped in dried-ish chicken skin. A little like a sushi presentation, but cooked. It was accented by a tiny fried piece of chicken breast. That fried bit is all I ate. Dessert was divine - a peach that was really a construction of white chocolate, sponge cake inside and peach butter - nestled on meringue and other yummy things like a tiny scoop of peach sorbet - and a companion sorbet in a fruit liquid. By that time, my taste buds were so overwhelmed by deliciousness, I had to get dessert to go (sans sorbet). I had it for breakfast- what a treat!! Overall, a wonderful experience - only a couple of odd things - since we were 10, we asked for separate checks by couples - the server grumbled and complained about something about having to override their system from the time we asked for that until the time we paid the check. A few couples had to go to the bar to pay the check, until she was able to do a work around to let the last of us pay...after waiting for some sort of fix...and more grumbling. And, while I really appreciate that they provided small stands for our purses next to our chairs, I tripped over them while using the ladies, and getting seated on return when the sweet staff ran to follow us back in the room and tried to pull our chairs for reseating. We left with a sweet basket of a little brioche bread with lovely plum jam for each of us. So special!! I can't wait to go back - maybe for lunch time. Such a memorable experience!! read more

Wonderful dining experience! I first learned of this place when they won a James Beard Award in 2024, but wasn't able to eat here until yesterday. Excellent food, both in taste and visual presentation (bravo chef, and thank you for the meet & greet). Excellent service, thank you Shawna for being so kind, explaining the menu, and making us feel warm and special. Bread/water guy (sorry didn't catch your name) was also always on it refilling water, and offering bread without being asked. Alex, also gets a shout out for the service and attention! All the variety of breads and butter (esp the ramp/onion butter) were delicious, chicken/truffle tortellini app, crab salad, lamb entree, dover sole entree, pear/yuzu dessert, strawberry cake were my favorites. Thank you also for the birthday treat :) we will be back again! read more

Amazing. A gem in Easton, MD. The food is delicious, the staff extremely attentive w/out being intrusive, and the atmosphere exquisite. Hard to find an elegant restaurant like this anymore where the food and ambiance are superb. Being a bit "old-school" about fancy restaurants, I like getting dressed up and going to a place that feels special. This is the place. Not only is the food delicious, but expertly presented. An amazing bread basket that I had to refrain from eating too much as I knew my dinner would be rich and filling. Also, the cocktails are superb. Even though many restaurants now serve specialty cocktails, they don't always live up to expectations. Here at Bas Rouge they are mixed beautifully. One should be aware that, although I believe you can order al a carte, it's mainly a three/four or seven course menu. NOTE: I was extremely dismayed to see that they had foie gras on the menu. Especially seeing that this restaurant is named after I believe the owner's breed of dog that he loves, I believe foie gras, as many people do, is animal cruelty to produce. They also serve veal that again, is usually from animals confined to crates that stunt their growth. Sorry for the bummer ending, just stating what I believe is factual. read more

The flagship of New York energy mogul Paul Prager's BluePoint Hospitality Group (which also owns several other restaurants and boutiques in town), Bas Rouge isn't the kind of restaurant you expect to find in Easton, a sleepy little burg on Maryland's Eastern Shore. In fact, in this age of smart casual eateries dominating the culinary landscape, restaurants like Bas Rouge are becoming increasingly difficult to find anywhere. According to their website, "(It) is a contemporary European restaurant offering an impeccable integration of fine dining, a world-class wine list, and elegant service." And that pretty much sums it up. Indeed, this is classic, refined Old World dining at its most gracious. The décor is reminiscent of a grand 19th century Austrian bistro. Furnishings include an antique Lobmeyr crystal chandelier & sconces, marble-topped antiques, and 19th century Austrian & German oil paintings. Executive Chef Harley Peet and Chef de Cuisine Phil Lind, utilizing ingredients sourced from the very best local purveyors and farms, present a stylish & innovative take on Viennese & European classic dishes... and their cuisine is nothing short of extraordinary. Dinner began with an amuse-bouche, a sliver of perfectly prepared tuna garnished with capers. The presentation was simple... but the taste sublime. And even more sublime was the wine that accompanied this gift from the chef - a glass of Champagne. But not just any Champagne. No, no... Dom Perignon... And that was just a hint of the marvelous things to come. An appetizer of Sweet Onion Ravioli was filled with house-made ricotta crowned with spargel foam and smattering of brown butter crumbs. Spargel is a variety of white asparagus that Germans refer to as "white gold" and pay more per kilo for it than they do meat. Peeling and boiling for just the proper amount of time unlocks its unique flavor, which is subtler, lighter, and slightly sweeter than its green cousin... and proved a delectable complement to the delicately textured ravioli. This was my dining partner's choice, and she was not disappointed. My Petit Tomato Salad - comprised of red, yellow, and Sungold (golden orange) cherry tomatoes, splash of tomato water, and hint of basil - is another one of those deceptively simple dishes filled with all sorts of unexpected pleasures... and not merely the diversity of color. The yellow tomatoes, for example, are slightly less acidic than red varieties and, therefore, milder & sweeter in flavor. The Sungold tend to be sweet as well, but also firmer in texture. The translucent tomato water (the liquid that seeps from the ripe flesh after the tomato has been cut) not only intensifies the flavor but the fragrance of the dish as well. A marvelous starter. As my dining partner and I both love Dover sole, our choice of Dover Sole Roulade (pictured) was something of a no-brainer. And at Bas Rouge it is prepared to perfection. The filet is rolled, gently sautéed with herbed beurre monte (emulsified melted butter), crowned with pickled vegetables & toasted hazelnuts and - the pièce de résistance - surrounded by potato & green asparagus purées. As you will note from the photograph, it is a feast for the eye as well as the palate. Desserts continue the kitchen's excellent work. The night of our visit there were four possibilities noted on the printed menu: Strawberry Tart, vanilla sable, whipped vanilla ganache, strawberries; Coconut Mousse, yuzu curd, lime-infused pineapple, meringue; Pecan Brownie, pecan praline, whipped milk chocolate ganache, caramel; and House-Made Ice Creams. But the one item not listed on the menu, the Blueberry Almond Tart, a special of the evening, was our dessert of choice. Encrusted in vanilla sable (sablé is the French word for shortbread), garnished with house-made vanilla ice cream, and overrun with fresh blueberries, the tart proved to be a marvelous conclusion to an equally marvelous meal... Made even more enjoyable while sipping my final wine of the evening, Mirtillo, a stunning blueberry liqueur imported from Austria. If you happen to be visiting St. Michaels - staying at the Inn at Perry Cabin, as we were, or some other nearby location - Bas Rouge is only a leisurely twenty-minute drive away... and it is worth the trip. No, let me rephrase: This is one restaurant that is worth a journey. read more

If you dislike your spouse and the people you're dining with--if you prefer silence, no laughter, no conversation, and staring down at your plate--then this is the restaurant for you. This place tries desperately to present itself as "upscale," but joy, warmth, and human connection are clearly unwelcome here. We were having a wonderful evening--laughing, enjoying one another's company, and celebrating life. There was literally no one else in our dining room. Rather than simply letting paying guests enjoy themselves, the owner--a wealthy, arrogant man who showed up tableside in a flannel shirt--felt compelled to interrupt us to say, "I'm happy you're having fun," followed immediately by informing us that this is a quiet restaurant. Our dinner for a party of five was nearly $5,000. We will never return. Fortunately for the owner, his wealth likely insulates him from caring about the loss of patrons who actually enjoy life and each other's company. Annapolis, thankfully, has a growing restaurant scene--one driven by truly classy operators, like Atlas Restaurant Group, who understand that great dining includes joy, laughter, and connection. I wish nothing but difficult times for an owner who is so clearly soulless, pretentious, and hostile to the very people who keep his business alive. read more

On our way back from the beach we paid a visit to our new favorite gourmet town on the eastern shore, Easton. Largely due to the Bluepoint Hospitality's presence placing some world class F&B outlets. It's almost too fabulous and you might ask where is the hotel? We heard it would be their next project! Exciting! Bas Rouge was an exceptional dining experience! The staff was on point with their service, female staff dressed in pink prada outfit and male in smart suits. Call it what you one, it enhanced the dining experience. We were seated by the large window seat when you had alot time on your hand you would look closely at every details, everything was well placed with purpose. The window curtains were elegant and art with fox on the wall. We had lunch that day. We started off with the lamb tartare and fluke crudo, never had a lamb tartare with such preparation it was so fresh and tender. The fluke was had a little crunch from the tobiko, fish had great texture and was balanced seasoning. Very refreshing for the hot summer. The shrimps were nicely charred and laid in a mango aguachile. The entree was the schnitzel it was also tender loved the lingonberries and potato salad. The duck confit was also very flavorful! For the dessert we went with a non chocolate i think it was apricot cake it was not too sweet went well with the vanilla ice cream. After lunch we had a tour of the other dining room inspired by Vienna it was so beautiful. We also toured other F&B outlets they were so well done with the interiors, I highly recommend visiting all of them!! read more

I visit Bas Rouge whenever I'm in Maryland and on the Easton shore. Always a special treat to eat here with friends and family. It can be hit or miss sometimes, but most of the time it's a hit. This night was especially good from the service to the food and the overall atmosphere. Everything seemed to be well timed and rehearsed. This was also my first time eating in the front dining room which I really enjoyed. The entire experience was a little over three hours. Never rushed and always remembered. read more

I chose to have my birthday at Bas Rouge, and it felt like such a special treat. Everybody dressed nicely. The restaurant is split into several rooms, and we ate in the front room. There were about six tables in the front room, so it felt intimate. They do have two tables outdoors on the sidewalk under the awnings. You can choose either a 3 course or a 4 course dinner. The menu shows only the appetizers or entrees, but dessert counts as one of the courses. The dessert menu comes separately. 4 courses means you choose 2 appetizers, 1 entree, and dessert. My husband and I chose to have four courses. The restaurant serves delicious and fluffy bread- during our visit, there were croissants, cheesy biscuits, and grain bread (and you can have as many as you want) and a small amuse bouche. They send you home with a treat too (we got small cakes). Needless to say, my husband and I were full to bursting at the end of our meal. The pacing is slow, since we left the restaurant 2 1/2 hours later. I believe the menu changes according to what is in season, so I won't go into details, but I have added photos to my review. We enjoyed our dishes, where we did have some favorites and some we could've gone without. We didn't choose to have a wine pairing, but they have an extensive wine list that is several pages long. We opted to have cocktails instead. They also serve coffee and tea at the end of the meal for an additional charge. Since it was my birthday, they treated us with an extra dessert! read more

Excellent service. Food was truly marginal and incredibly over priced. Left hungry!!! And $400 for 2 people!!!! BAs Rouge needs to take a hard look at their portion sizes and literally what they offer for these prices. It is insulting to leave a restaurant hungry read more

The food and service were excellent. Several vegetarian options. A great place for a birthday dinner.

Bas Rouge came highly recommended and we were very excited to dine here. Our party had very mixed experiences. Some had excellent meals, some had ok meals and some were very disappointed. They did take one of them off the bill. Service was generally very attentive (Anna was great). However, we were greeted with less than a warm welcome. The sommelier did an excellent job of pairing our wines, however after serving our last course, never came back to check on us. We tried to engage in conversation with him a few times, but he was clearly uninterested. Overall, our experience was ok, but not worth the price and did not meet the expectations that we went in with. When we shared our feedback with some of the locals, they said they were not surprised. Hopefully those at Bas Rouge who helped build their great reputation will be focusing on feedback and bring it back to consistently exceptional. read more

A gem in Easton that would put many a metropolitan restaurant to shame. Outstanding food, served in an elegant setting, by highly professional and welcoming staff. Delicious, imaginative and creative food. An exquisite wine list. All in all a superb experience... read more

Service was top notice from the drinks to the bread to the clearing of the table between courses to the knowledge of the menu. I started with the crab cause- very good and local. For my main course, I had the chiatarra, which was very good. Portions are reasonable. The bread was excellent- I had the sourdough and apricot slices. No room for dessert, but the people at the next table had it, and they both looked good read more

Surprise! Where are we? Not what you might expect on Maryland's Eastern shore! Every detail was thought through and delightful. The menu is seasonal so hard to make a recommendation. I would say, don't miss the bread and try a slice of every one! Three courses are necessary or you are going to leave hungry. read more

There are nowhere near enough words of praise for this perfectly wonderful restaurant...and I am a writer. As someone who does not love eating out, and finds most restaurants over-priced and uncomfortable, Bas Rouge won me over from the moment I feebly messed up my reservation (not once, but twice). They were kind and gracious and accommodated my husband and I beautifully. Everything from the ambiance (gorgeous) to the service (perfect and outstanding) to the incredibly delicious food exceeded our expectations. Truly, every single thing we ordered was so good. The portions were spot on and the wine list (and recommendations) were fairly priced and extensive. Simply put, the meal was incredibly satisfying and totally enjoyable. This place is a jewel and I can't wait to go back, even if it is 90 minutes from our home. Thank you Bas Rouge! read more

One of the best restaurants I've ever been to! Everything was exquisite, from the agnolotti with smoked salmon and caviar to the bass and peanut butter cake. It was all presented beautifully, and our waitress was kind and helpful. It was such a treat! They even sent us home with macaroons and madeleines. read more

Fabulous and a great value. Exactly what a fine dining experience should be. Elegant venue, classy and friendly staff, delicious food and patrons who dress properly for dinner! What a pleasant surprise to find a place where men are actually wearing jackets (though not required) and the ladies are all beautifully dressed for a night out. The service was an exceptional balance of formality and warmth. All dishes were delicious and reasonably proportioned. Definitely a gem. read more

This is a Michelin level restaurant that would be right at home in midtown Manhattan. We found out that the name refers to the owners' show dogs and the same kind of passion and commitment that it takes to excel in that arena is evident in every aspect of this charming, beautiful and soothing space. Service was impeccable (although there were times when I wanted to say such things as: you really don't have to bring a silver tray to take away empty wine glasses-ha) The food was exquisite (although we would return more frequently if there were more menu choices) And the only caution to Yelp readers is to be prepared for the high prices (e.g. $8 for a cup of coffee-spectacular coffee though it is) It is rare in this area to find a restaurant that is excellent in every way. We feel very fortunate to have discovered it on our jaunts... read more

The only reason this place gets 5 stars is because 10 isn't an option. WOW. Exceptional service - on par with Gramercy Tavern, M at the Fringe, Auberge du Soleil and other fine dining restaurants in major cities. My husband had the best Old Fashioned he's ever tasted, and the wine list was extensive and solid. The starting amuse bouche was fun and delicious. If the morels are on the menu, have them. Potato anglotti and oyster pie were also delicious, but the morels were the star of the appetizer course. Absolutely amazing and so balanced in terms of flavors and textures. We both had fish dishes - my husband had monkfish which was delicate and light, and I had Bronzino which was a more powerful and spicier dish. Both were great. For dessert my husband had a chocolate dish with ice cream - very well executed. I had the best troupe l'oiel I've ever seen or tasted based around a pear. The server told us that the young person who came up with and executed the dish is only 22 years old - how amazing to give that level of trust to someone so young! It was absolutely fantastic and incredibly clever. An amazing night and I hope I'm fortunate enough to return. read more

We have had dinner here several times. If you go, being seated in the front of the restaurant is much nicer than the larger room. The food is excellent, as is the service, except for the "excuse my reach", which was used several times during the meal. I learned at a pretty young age not to reach across. Period. It's also way too stuffy. Putting a dinner napkin over a minuscule coffee stain on the tablecloth? I dunno...a lot of people think this is IT for fine French dining, but I'd much prefer to make the trip to Great Falls, VA to L'Auberge Chez Francois. And the same old oily cakes to take home every visit...nice in theory but unremarkable in taste. read more

Finally a restaurant where you can dress up and enjoy a lovely meal. Last night was our first visit. We have had fine dining all over the world and this is also exceptional. Please do not lower the dress code!!!! We are appalled at how people look while dining in other establishments. We were in Annapolis one year for New Years at a restaurant. I was wearing a piece from the Duke and Duchess of Windsor collection auctioned off at Sothebys by Dodi Fayed. My husband was in Armani. It was New Years!

After reading the review in the Washington Post we decided to dine at Bas Rouge to celebrate my wife's birthday. Together with my younger son and daughter-in-law we traveled to the other side of the bay on a blustery Saturday evening. We anticipated a fine dining experience however the entire meal exceeded our expectations. The room was lovely and the entire staff was welcoming, knowledgeable and gracious. The food did not disappoint from the delicious amuse to the striking and delicious desserts. As a long time wine collector I was duly impressed with the wine list and the concern and expertise of the wine staff. It is wonderful to know other people still place a premium on fine dining. We certainly will return. read more

Spoiler alert - the menu offers marvelous food, fresh local ingredients, and an elegant and refined dining experience. If you are cruising around the Eastern Shore and you are ready to indulge, come here. If you live within 100 miles of Easton, come here and indulge. My Easton BFF (who I shall call "A") invited me to pay a visit from Baltimore for lunch, inducing me with the promise of her delightful company, plus a delightful dining experience at a venue so fancy, she admonished me to wear at blazer. When we walked in, we were promptly and warmly greeted, and alas, it was immediately obvious that A was a V.I.P., as the host asked her, "Your usual table?" The question was rhetorical; we were already making our way to a table situated right next to the window. Our server was a charming young lady whose name I did not receive but she whisked in and away often invisibly, and other times, to converse about the menu and whether to keep the vodka with ginger beer and limes coming. I am unclear how many of those we had but I eventually had to ask our charming server what was the English translation of the name "Bas Rouge" and she answered, quite matter of factly, "Red Stockings." Once voice in my head proclaimed, "The Five Stars are earned at this point - just do not mess things up." Other servers brought us warm, freshly baked bread. I believe I sampled three different selections. When we finally cracked open the menus, I have to concede I was hit with a little bit of sticker shock. "Wait - this is Easton, right?" But I knew if I reached for the tab my hand would be in danger so I tried not to think too much about the prices - and what a great decision that was!! A had the Chicken Liver Mousse "Cigar" that she started talking about a few days before we met. I had the Baby carrots and Ricotta. I lived up to my promise and I tried the CLM - but it is not something I would order and I do not have much to go by - but the flavor was marvelous. My Baby carrots and Ricotta was so simple yet so much flavor from the mix of the carrots with the ricotta and sweet honey and orange flavors. Oh, we also had the oysters, which we were told were from the nearby Miles River. They were fresh and delicious. Our plates were cleared just in time as I think we were both contemplating licking our plates. I am pretty sure I did swipe my bread through the remaining whipped ricotta sauce on my plate a time or two- For our entrees, A had the Wiener Schnitzel - mostly because she loves the potato salad and lingonberries that come with. I had the Forrest mushroom Fettuccine. The flavors in the Fettuccine were so rich, I was finishing by trying to stab the few remaining bits of mushroom so I could swirl it around the sauce to enjoy the flavors more. Then there was the Finale which was one of everything being offered for dessert. I believe there were five, including the blueberry ice cream. As you can see, we laid them all to waste. Bas Rouge describes its concept as, "The dining experience is refined, and the dishes are characterized by their polished adaptation of traditional Viennese and European classics, with ingredients from the finest local purveyors and farms." Bas Rouge is indeed a dining experience and there is an attention to detail to the service, the elegance in the dining room, and the chefs' dedication to local and fresh shows in each dish. A said as we walked out, "I could walk a long block and come right back here." I thought about that for a second and nodded, "Me too, but this time let's start with the desserts and go backwards." read more

I stumbled upon this gem when searching for restaurants near St. Michael's. My boyfriend and I spent Presidents Day weekend there and were first-time visitors. We came to this restaurant Friday evening - a bit of an uber drive from St. Michael's but well worth it! From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for a treat. Spectacular service from entrance to exit. We were brought a lovely veal sausage amuse bouche. I started with the veal ravioli which I am still dreaming about. Hands down one of the best things I have ever eaten. My boyfriend had the grilled lobster tail to start which was also heavenly. My main course was rack of lamb with a delicious succotash. My boyfriend had the miso black cod which he compared to some of the best he's had in Japan. The desserts were also lovely, but the starter and entree courses were fabulous. A phenomenal wine list, we had a difficult time choosing but eventually went with a lovely Pinot Noir to complement both of our mains. After leaving, we were presented with a freshly-baked olive oil cake which I snacked on with coffee at our hotel the next morning. We talked about this restaurant all weekend and I will be sure to return on our next visit to St. Michaels! If you're in the area for anything, don't miss it! read more

Wow, what an absolutely amazing dining experience! Everything about our experience was beyond perfection. I never realized that we had a restaurant in our little quaint town of Easton that would rival any 5 star restaurant in the Country. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to have palate and culinary experience that would impress even the most discerning critic. All of the staff from the We saw this restaurant last fall during the Waterfowl festival and I made a comment to my husband that I wanted to try it out sometime. Well, COVID hit and now we finally got to try out this little gem, and it was nothing short of fantastic. First let me begin with how we came to having dinner at Bas Rouge, my husband and I live about 20 minutes from Easton and decided that since we were child free we would go out and have a date night. After looking exhaustively on Open Table for a restaurant that I could make a reservation for two at 7:30 without any luck, we were ready to give up. I told my husband to head towards Easton and I would figure out a nice restaurant for us to go to and if not we could always end up at the old standbys. I came across Bas Rogue during my search and remember that I wanted to try this little restaurant nestled in the unassuming storefronts of Federal Street, so I decided to give them a call, no reservation times were available on Open Table. Well I'm glad I did, the Maitre d' that answered the phone so very polite and quite accommodating and told us that they had one table that was getting ready to leave and they could fit us in and would reserve the table for us. You are required to give a credit card number when you make a reservation, which I completely understand given the limited capacity rules since COVID. The Maitre d' told me that they would call me when our table was ready, but in the mean time we could visit their sister location two door down and have a drink while we waited. We never made it to the sister location, because as we were parking they called and told us that our table was ready. We were met by the Maitre d' opening the door for us and quickly whisking us to to our quaint little table for two. As we sat down, someone brought over a little stool for me to set my purse down on beside me. I could tell immediately that this was not going to be your normal restaurant experience in Easton. No, instead we were going to be in for a dining experience that you normally only find in Washington DC or other major city in the Country. The wine list is extensive and equally impressive, with several extraordinary names and years with prices to match. I have seen other comments about the prices of the wines, however, it is important to remember that such an extensive selection extraordinary varietals with equally impressive years comes at a cost, and the prices seem comparable given the selections available. read more

Solid service but bring your broker to liquidate assets so you can afford even a single glass of "curated" wine.

This is a hidden gem in the Eastern Shore --Annapolis area. Very elegant yet quiet and subdued. The presentation of the food by excellent staff is tops. The food itself is refined and beautiful. The night we enjoyed every item, but the scallops really stood out. It was shared with us that the scallops are supplied by the same source as the Le Bernadine in NY--which is one of the very finest restaurants in the Wold. Bas Rouge aspires to be equivalent of Le Bernadine, covering all of South of NY, and it is doing an admirable job. read more
