I can only remember it because of how awful the food tasted and how terribly prepared it was-I have never had food this bad in my whole life. It was about 2 years ago that i went, but I can picture the........meal, I guess we can call it.... that was placed in front of my face like it was yesterday. A steak. Simple, right? Nope. Not simple, not well made, not well cooked, not even the right cut. I ordered the Delmonico- I suppose the cut could be argued, so I won't even count that in leading to my disappointment. What came to my table resembled more of a Hungry Man Dinner Salisbury Steak, and it had hunks of raw fat in it, and it was covered in this awful brown, salty, peppercorn sludge-excuse me while i go vomit. My husband ordered the lamb chops-bad move. They tasted like they sat in their own blood for days-gamey, raw in the middle (again), and tough like shoe leather. Raw, and tough....? Weird, but true. Now, my husband and I both like our steak/lamb cooked medium rare to rare, but this really was raw. I'm also a HUGE fan of carpaccio, and tartare-but this meat was really disgusting-completely inedible. Oh yeah- I believe we were told by the wait staff that the restaurant was for people with "an aquired palate". Um.......a palate for shit? That was actually pretty amusing, and at this point I realized I was not fighting about the food I had ordered with anyone. Our entire meals were sent back, our bill was paid, and then it was deducted off of my credit card. Xanadu, by definition, is a place of great beauty, luxury, and contentment. Yeah. Not so much.

The chic Asian styling coupled with the diner booths down the middle of the restaurant area provides an interesting contrast to one another. There is just something off with having neon spirals lit up on the walls with porcelain Buddhas and other deities staring at you while you eat in a booth. The place filled up half the dining area by the time we left, and I can't blame them as the place provides an interesting environment to dine and judging by the lounge area, grab a drink.

Excellent eating experience! This is the first time we've eaten at La Barrita. Their services were adequate. The restaurant offers perfect appetizers and offers good options in Argentina steak, and we decided to go with a medium-rare steak for our main courses. The steak was cooked to perfection. The combination of fried onions and peppers in a unique sauce gave a different experience to the usuals I have. The standout was the sausages; they were spectacular with all the international cheeses. Overall, the food was great with the sheer quantity of food we received. The ambiance and service were great, sticking to the COVID protocols. Definitely going to visit again read more

The variety made it great for sharing, and every bite was delicious. The sides complemented the meal well, and the overall presentation was impressive. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive. If you're looking for a great place for authentic grilled food, I definitely recommend La Barrita.

The service was also excellent. The manager came over to introduce herself, which I appreciated, and she was very hands-on--helping serve and refresh drinks throughout the night. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the hype. The rabo de toro (oxtail) dumplings and camarones al ajillo (garlic shrimp) were solid, but everything else we tried fell flat, including the carpaccio and bacalao frito. The experience was underwhelming enough that we ended up leaving and going somewhere else for an entrée. Overall, great vibe and strong service, but the food was inconsistent and didn't match expectations.

I did not feel rushed until the desert course was served with the check. The variety of the dishes was fun to experience; each course was very different. Puerto 511 does really well with seafood. My favorites courses were the Ceviche Amazonico and the Tamalito Verde. The flavors were incredible. The Pulpo en su Causa was also a very interesting dish. The combination of ingredients and the inclusion of a cold mashed potato component were both innovative. I was disappointed with the other courses, though. The veal was tough, the lamp chop was tough, and the desert was not very flavorful. The quinoa flan and the passionfruit ice cream did not match very well in flavor or texture. The restaurant building itself was ok. The ambiance did not indicate fine dining to me. The service was not very personable. I would like to come back sometime in a different season, when there is a new menu. But overall, I would say Puerto 511 is definitely a dining experience worth trying.

Lots of old world charm and they usually keep some doors open for that quintessential indoor/outdoor euro-vibe. Street parking wasn't too hard to find at 530 PM on a weekday and parking is like .35 cents since it's free after 6. The food though was nowhere approaching Spain quality I'll tell you. Even looking at the food items here I'm pretty sure you can just tell. A potential caveat here is we only had vegetarian items so can't speak to the meat but honestly 9.5 times out of 10 if the veggie options are great so is the rest of the food... just sayin'. MAYBE in the future I'd come back for a tapas or two and a drink prior to going to a show at Metro Gallery but I wouldn't order too much or go out of my way.

Clavel

The Hype Is Absolutely Deserved!…read more Clavel is a highly acclaimed, family-run mezcaleria and taqueria in Baltimore -- and after finally visiting, I completely understand the hype! First things first: they don't take reservations, so plan accordingly! We arrived around 5:45 p.m. and were quoted a 45-minute wait. Apparently, if you arrive after 5:45, you should be prepared to wait anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Thankfully, around 6 p.m., a few people got up from their seats at the bar and we QUICKLY grabbed them. Crisis averted! We started with the Mezcalita with cilantro honey, which came highly recommended by the bartender. It was SO delicious -- the perfect balance of sweet and spice without either overpowering the other. For my second drink, I switched to the Suero, made with El Buho Mezcal Espadin, green mango, lemon, agua mineral, and Himalayan pink salt. It was completely different from the Mezcalita -- super refreshing, crisp, and not sweet at all. Both were excellent! Then came the food. We started with the Queso Fundido -- bubbling hot queso Chihuahua with guacamole and frijoles y totopos. I mean...you really can't go wrong with bubbling cheese. For our tacos, my friend went all in on the mushroom tacos while I decided variety was the move. I ordered: Barbacoa de Borrego -- house-butchered lamb and beef shank cooked with Mexican coffee, Negra Modelo, and spices. El Luchador -- lightly battered cod with house-pickled cabbage slaw, habanero crema, and cilantro. Al Gobernador -- wild-caught Pacific shrimp in salsa Anaheim with melted queso Chihuahua and pico de gallo. All three were delicious, but I loved being able to try such different flavors and textures in one meal. The ingredients tasted fresh, everything was flavorful, and you can tell there's real thought and care behind the menu. The restaurant itself is also deceiving! From the outside, Clavel looks fairly small, but once you're inside, it's anything but. There are so many little twists, turns, rooms, and tucked-away spaces -- and somehow every single one of them was packed. I also loved the rustic, traditional Mexican-inspired décor. It feels warm, lively, and authentic without trying too hard. And the service matched the food! Everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful, and our bartender's cocktail recommendation was spot-on. From the drinks to the tacos to the atmosphere and service, everything was superb. Clavel absolutely lived up to its reputation, and I already can't wait to go back -- I'll just be getting there BEFORE 5:45 next time.

I love they have a waiting room, that doubles at a Carryout pick up and merch shop, so genius. It reminds me that Baltimore food scene is on the rise. I've been here before with my chef and the back of house crew, but I had to run it back; because I loved it Food was great, I enjoyed the queso fundido, the chihuahua queso was delight. The tacooooooos, this gotta be their bread and butter I definitely bodied it. The flan was classic, I got what I expected. Definitely high on my recommendation list, if you haven't you should go and if you have it's probably been a minute go run it back solo or w/ the homies

I've been a number of times, and I keep coming back hoping I just 'ordered the wrong thing' from the menu, but alas no...most recently this was a tablewide talking point and consensus. We've pretty much given up on finding anything to eat worth coming back for. Service is always friendly but usually slow (as they're usually busy) and not very attentive. We usually do a round of drinks with dinner, which are also nothing special. Except (and this is a big one) we're starting to suspect they aren't storing their margarita mix properly. Turns out, *multiple* people in our party, across completely different visits (including just recently), have ordered the strawberry margarita and about halfway through it started feeling sick (only drink of the night each time). The fantastic atmosphere might balance the consistently disappointing food, but if what you're serving is making multiple people sick, that's problematic. So if you can get a seat outside by the water, it's a great atmosphere...but if you stay, don't expect a great meal, and definitely avoid the strawberry margarita.
