Sweet Onion Ravioli
Arthur N.

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.

Lamb tartare

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!!

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.

Beet salad- the smell of this just made my mouth water. Prosciutto, beet foam, and house made ricotta

I love the special feeling you have eating food prepared with love. You can feel the delicate care each dish is created for a magnificent dinner. It is more of an experience than just dinner. My fiancé and I had Valentines dinner here and it was beyond perfect. Thank you. The amuse-Boucher set the night for a seafood forward dinner. Description on the pictures.

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!

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.

Service was pretty fast, though we did come in on a weekday during lunch hours. It wasn't super packed which made it a relaxed vibe. The appetizers and the main meals were outstanding. Every time we go to Ambar, the Balkan Salad, the beet tzatziki, and the veal soup are our non-negotiable starters. The bread basket that comes with the spreads is always warm as if it came out of the oven which is a nice touch. This time around we got to try kajmak- tasted like fresh butter from a farm. The orders we kept coming back to in particular were the grilled shrimp, the sesame crusted salmon, and the beef goulash. It's easy to get full quickly, but if you're eyeing on dessert, pace yourself! Unless you love decadent cakes, I would pass if dessert is an extra cost. The dessert menu was quite underwhelming to me and, besides the baklava, doesn't give traditional Balkan dessert vibes. If I were to recommend going to Ambar, definitely head in during restaurant week! And if paying full cost, I would say brunch has a nicer sweets selection over the dessert menu offered during lunch and dinner.

That thoughtfulness is one of the many reasons I was excited to try it. When we arrived, I was initially concerned after learning that the "G" on the menu indicated dishes **containing** gluten rather than being gluten-free. Since many menu items were marked with a "G," I worried my options would be very limited, especially for the unlimited brunch experience. Thankfully, our server, Emma, immediately put me at ease. She brought me the food allergy menu, answered my questions with patience, and made sure I understood what was safe for me to enjoy. While my husband and I were deciding whether to stay, the manager, Antonio, came to our table after Emma shared my dietary concerns. His kindness completely changed the experience. He took the time to explain my options, offered to have the kitchen modify several dishes, and reassured me that their goal was for me to feel safe and enjoy my meal. Thanks to Emma and Antonio, what started with uncertainty became one of the most enjoyable brunch experiences I've had. I was able to enjoy a variety of delicious dishes, the mimosas were a great value, and the restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, with floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the space with natural light. What I'll remember most, though, is how genuinely cared for I felt. Before we left, Antonio stopped by one last time to make sure I was happy with my meal and that all of my needs had been met. My husband had put so much love and intention into choosing this restaurant, and thanks to Emma and Antonio, we both left with happy hearts and full bellies. If you have food intolerances or dietary restrictions, I hope this review gives you confidence to visit Ambar. Their team didn't just accommodate my needs. They made me feel welcome, respected, and cared for. That's the kind of hospitality that earns five stars from me.

They tried to appease the pair of diners next to us with free shots of something, but nothing for us because we went an acquaintance and his sister who are regulars, so they knew it didn't matter if we were happy or not. Food was terrible. I had the rainbow trout which seemed like it might have come frozen. Topped with dull brown gravy and canned mushrooms. Got a large dollop of bland mashed potatoes with it and a few green beans. TLDR: this place is for senior citizens who take comfort in familiar cafeteria level food. I'm perplexed how it's in business with high ratings. I've come here numerous times because the person I know (who's about 25 years my senior) comes here every Friday night.

It is a $24.95 flat price offering an appetizer, entree and dessert for that price. (Only available Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday from 5-6:30 pm). There were about 6 choices each for appetizers and entrees and 3 for dessert. My companion had a mussel appetizer and I had French Onion soup. My soup was a great example of the classic preparation. Bubbly and browned cheese over a deeply flavorful broth of onions and a slice of French bread. My companion loved the mussels. As to the entree I had what was called Beef Diane, a twist on the classic Steak Diane. It consisted of tips of filet in a delicious gravy flavored with cognac. My companion had Rainbow Trout and was very happy with it. For dessert we both had cheesecake with strawberry sauce. A good example of a New York style cheesecake. Both entrees were served with well cooked mixed vegetables. The portions were not a scaled down size but normal size. The meal comes with fresh baked toasted bread served warm. Delicious. The service was attentive which was to be expected because there were only 3 tables occupied. A complimentary shot of a what I think was kahlua was served at the end of the meal. The atmosphere is lots of dark wood and a classic bar. Great food and a great experience. Don't pass up this great value!!

When we arrived, we were seated right away, but it seemed like there were very few staff working--possibly only one waiter. It took about 10 minutes before we finally had to flag him down just to place our order. The food then took around 25-30 minutes to come out, which felt very long since we were on a tight schedule for our flight. When the food finally arrived, I ordered the macaroni and cheese, and unfortunately it was the worst mac and cheese I've ever had. I don't want to be mean, but it was very bland and really needed salt. My sister surprisingly liked it, but it just wasn't for me at all. The rest of my family did enjoy their meals, and I thought the fries were decent, just lightly seasoned. My mom especially liked the grilled cheese. The waiter himself was nice and kept our drinks refilled, so I don't think the long wait was entirely his fault. The restaurant is very cute inside with cozy, old-style vibes and festive Christmas decorations, which I really liked. However, between the long wait times, the limited menu, and my disappointing mac and cheese, I wouldn't recommend that dish. Overall, it's a charming place, but the service was too slow for us--especially when trying to catch a flight.

We had gotten the Beef Empanadas and Dumpling Squash Beignets. The beignets weren't what we were expecting but were delicious. They were fried balls with squash cooked inside - very tasty.

I had the rainbow trout for entree, for which the cuts were coming up short so they asked if shrimp was ok to add. I enjoyed the flavor of the shrimp, but I think the fish lacked seasoning- it was the only plate I didn't enjoy. Had the Aim to spark cocktail, a very well balanced drink! I'd visit again!

First off, there seemed to be only one waiter handling around 7-8 tables. Tables on both sides of us were visibly getting frustrated with how slow the service was. We came to enjoy ourselves and weren't in a rush, so we didn't mind waiting as much, but the service was noticeably slow. Interestingly, the actual dishes came out fairly quickly, but everything else--ordering, drinks, checking in, and getting things we needed--took a long time. For a restaurant at this price point, I was also expecting the overall experience and atmosphere to feel a little more elevated. It didn't really feel particularly upscale or special, and the bathrooms were noticeably dirty, which was surprising and definitely took away from the experience. Overall, the food was decent, but between the understaffed service, cleanliness, and atmosphere, I didn't feel the experience matched the price. Restaurant Week is usually a great opportunity to try a higher-end restaurant and want to come back, but unfortunately I don't think I'd return at the regular menu prices.
