For my first Baltimore review, I'm giving praise to a solid overall art museum experience. And it…read morewas also a museum experience that was completely FREE! When I was looking at Baltimore attractions closest to my Airbnb, I instantly made a note. And from the moment that I first walked through its outdoor sculpture garden before even entering the building, I knew I was in for a treat! It might not be as expansive as other art museums I've been to, like the Philadelphia Museum of Art and MOMA. But it's well curated with impressive Asian and African art wings, an awesome section devoted to local Baltimore artists, and works from artists spanning across the globe and centuries. I've touched on it in the opening, but the fact that its a free museum experience unless you choose to pay less than $10 to see the special featured exhibit is absolutely amazing and unfathomable! Since the current featured exhibit had the works of Matisse, whom I've seen plenty of times, I decided to take in everything else, and could have easily spent 5+ hours taking it all in! With features like this inside and out, and the incredible value, I'm honestly surprised that the BMA doesn't get mentioned in the conversation about must-visit art museums in the US!

WHAT A TREAT, to have caught the entire Amy Sherald exhibit and BAM! I loved this museum, and this…read moreexhibit specifically! My college campus and myself took a trip here for this, and 5/5 would recommend! So enlightening, so thought-provoking, so CHROME. ;) I'm also especially thankful for the guides that walked our group through Amy's pieces, who then were able to describe and confirm the emotions and response she wanted her audience to receive! Love love love this museum, and thank you to my campus for coordinating this.

We stopped by The Jetty after spending a few hours at Matapeak Park. First, this place definitely…read morehas a lot of outdoor and well-shaded spots. In fact, the dining areas for the restaurant were a lot larger than what I expected. The restaurant has a pretty extensive menu, so everyone should be able to find something that they'll like. Relative to other places, I thought the prices were fine - not super cheap, but not expensive. The restaurant also has a nice list of various frozen and regular cocktails. Overall, service was great in that our waitress made some great recommendations and check in on us a few times during our meal. The waitress did not go wrong in recommending the shrimp tacos. I was hoping for three tacos instead of two, but the portion size of the tacos were packed so I guess two tacos are fine. Overall, we a nice time at The Jetty and hope do visit again after Matapeake Park. Oh, I almost forgot to add that the The Jetty is very dog-friendly.

Love that dogs are allowed…read more Service was okay. We got seated and had to wait a while for someone to come check in on us/take an order. We got half a dozen x large crabs. The crabs here are size designated by the size of the shell. Not by weight. The weight different DRASTICALLY. I'd read other reviews that said the jetty does not give af if you let them know the crabs are light/basically empty. And service was spotty so no one came to check anyway But dang one of my crabs barely had more meat on the inside than the claws of the other crabs. Sigh. I also felt like the seasoning was not as heavily old bay as I'd prefer. But great waterside dining? Easy parking. Would not return unless we had the dog with us. The dog enjoyed her hamburger patty.

Despite the cold windy rain we stopped and joined some other hearty souls for a drink. Nice views of the bay and a decent Mai Tai ($10 - no rainy day discount).

EH. Came on opening day, which was also Cinco de Mayo. We got a table under the tent. Waited 15+…read moremins for someone to come and even offer water. We were actually gathering our things to leave, when someone came. When I asked was there any Cinco de Mayo specials or HH, we were told that after 6pm HH ends, but they had specials for the day. Those specials were $8 for all appetizers. Our waitress was new, so she said she would confirm. We ordered Apps, pending confirmation. Nearly 10 mins later, we get our drinks and ask about the price of apps and were told Apps were not $8, and the order was placed. This was frustrating because I def. would have gone with my original idea of a steak taco for $17+ instead of $17+ rockfish tender apps, that I didn't really want upfront. Since we were told apps were likely $8 we decided to just order from that part of the menu to try out different things. Sigh. This place was never really my go to on the Island. It was cool to check out after so many years. Was hoping for the "Cinco de Mayo" vibes that were posted on social media, and it just fell flat for me. But go - enjoy it for yourself! It's along the water. Crowd is probably mid 30s+ and the music is a mix of county/old school hip hop . plenty of surface level parking

Alexa play "So Easy (To Fall in Love)" by Olivia Dean…read more It's so easy to fall in love with anything that's beautiful, peaceful, and just plain good and that's exactly what Kent Narrows is. There's something about the water, the breeze, and the quiet charm of this area that settles your spirit in the best way. A good friend of mine lives on Kent Island, and honestly, the best way to visit Bridges is by boat. Pulling up to a restaurant by water just hits differently. But don't worry you can absolutely drive here too, and the experience is just as lovely. Restaurants by the water are always a plus, but Bridges brings more than a view. It brings that easy, coastal energy that makes you want to slow down, breathe a little deeper, and enjoy where you are. The kind of place where good food, good company, and good scenery all meet at the same table. Bridges Restaurant brings exactly what you hope for when you escape the city for a moment of calm; beauty, peace, and a reminder that life feels better by the water. Service is always great! I literally said this past weekend that this has to become a monthly occurrence! It's too good and too beautiful to just come once a year! Let's get into it! Stuffed Pepper - Amazing!! Thanks to the waitress for hyping these up. Seafood Tacos - Delicious! I would definitely get these again and would try the Mahi Mahi kind or whatever fish they have! So freaking good! Brought Hawaii Maui vibes back. Ancho Rockfish - Fish was excellent, grits were not a fave. Watermelon refresher - YES! These are dangerously good! I'll be back! And soon! Cheers! Perfect day activity for all you love birds! Romantic!

It was fairly…read moreempty, they were power washing the deck area but luckily, they still had their gazebo open so we could still have lunch with our little pup. The hostess and waitress were so kind, friendly, and accommodating! They brought out a water bowl for our dog. We ordered the whole oysters flash fried (special of the day), the shrimp and grits, and the shrimp salad sandwich with island fries (upgraded for 3.50). The oysters were fantastic. Freshly fried and super juicy. We loved them. Our sandwich and shrimp&grits took a while to get to us, but worth the wait. The shrimp in the grits were massive. My husband couldn't finish it all. The shrimp salad was stellar. And the brioche bun went so well. I will say the island fries had a spice we didn't love. The queso dip it came with was good. Didn't love the chili aioli it came with. It was weirdly sweet. I'd probably stick to the regular fries next time. Service is a little slower than were use to, but it definitely fit the vibe of the area. Just low key and relaxing. We would definitely come back!

They have some really good in-house beers and some that are okay. The service was pretty good, but I think they may have been short staffed. I asked about a couple of beers they used to have, but they were out, and the server said they had been having problems getting some of the grain they use for brewing. They had several other beers from other breweries (not all local). I really try to patronize the local small brewers, as I can get beers from large scale brewers at plenty of places. They do offer a veterans discount, and I think also first responders (but not 100% sure of that). I do really enjoy the Tail Dragger IPA. They had a solo guitar guy playing. He was ok, except the volume was way too loud for such a small venue, and it was uncomfortable to sit through. Due to the weather, the doors to the outside were shut, and so everything was confined to just the taproom.

While our waitress was lovely and helpful, the food fell short…read more We began with appetizers of Fried Green Tomato Caprese and the Calamari, the first of which was fine. The quality problems began with the calamari, which were quite rubbery and bland. We added salt and moved forward. For the entree, we ordered the Seafood Mediterranean, Fettuccine Alfredo, and Lasagna. The first two dishes were okay, nothing impressive or memorable, but fine. However, the lasagna was notably heated up from the first bite. The bottom was soggy and tough, definitely not fresh. Then a few bites further it became cold. That was sent back and we ordered wings to replace the cold pasta, which were fine. The wait staff was accommodating and pleasant, but I cannot recommend the restaurant due to the lack of quality.

I walked in and nearly tripped over the rug by the hostess desk. I hope they moved it. I sat at the bar. I was given the regular menu, only when I asked for the Happy Hour menu did I recieve it.

Actually really good! I paid with cash. I literally waited 10 mins for the bartender to come back and get it. Even putting it on the very end of the bar. Since I left enough cash for the meal and tip, I decided to just leave. Unbeknownst to me, the bartender and another person were standing at a table behind me.
