This place was a one-and-done experience for us. Never again!!…read more My husband and I ended up here after the Dave Chappelle show because our original dinner plans fell through when the restaurant was fully booked. We should have made reservations, but at that point, all we wanted was a decent meal (nothing fancy) after a long workweek and then to head home. Unfortunately, a decent meal didn't happen. The food was some of the worst we've had in a long time. My husband actually spit food into his napkin, shook his head, and said, "I'm done." I've never seen him do that before. Several dishes were simply inedible. The mashed potatoes were bland and flavorless--how do you mess up mashed potatoes? The potato salad was equally bland and disappointing. The French onion soup had very little broth and was overloaded with a thick layer of hardened cheese. Overall, the food tasted cheap and poorly prepared, yet the prices suggested otherwise. It felt like diner-quality food being sold at premium prices. What made the experience even more frustrating was the manager's response. He came to our table after hearing about our concerns, but instead of focusing on the quality issues we raised, he seemed more concerned that my husband refused to order a replacement meal. That spoke volumes about where the priorities were. The one bright spot was our server, who was attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the meal. No complaints regarding the server as he was extremely apologetic with our experience. To our surprise, the restaurant also added an automatic gratuity to our bill. Ironically, had that not been done, we likely would have tipped our server more because he was not the problem. The kitchen and management were. No, I didn't complain about the tip after I noticed it on our bill. We were over the experience and just wanted to pay and get the hell out of there. Save yourself the disappointment and spend your hard earned money elsewhere. We certainly wish we had. Gordon Ramsay, if you're looking for a future Kitchen Nightmares episode, this place could desperately use the help. P.S. A business name change is not going to help with the quality of the food. Do better and prove that you actually care about your customers, not just the $$.

Amazing Diner!!!…read more Mad flavor! Great prices! Good service! Nice quantities! Amazing homemade desserts! A must try if you are ever in the area. Also I think they have a name change (Red Cup Diner).

We had a miscommunication during my order and when food came out, she quickly realized the problem. I want to give her praise because before we could even talk about who might have made the mistake, a corrected order was already sent to the kitchen. I'm almost certain I caused the mistake, but Martina resolved things swiftly. I don't usually do breakfast places twice but I would come back for the service and food.We ordered the following: Happy face pancake: 8/10 - she wished it was a little crispier but very good. Half and half: 9/10 - good and sweet Crab hash: 10/10 - phenomenal! I added Queso fresco Old fashioned: 8/10 good and strong! Mimi (manager I believe) checked on us often. Martina is the highlight.

Service was great! You can basically order anything off the menu and create your own meal. The only reason I didn't give five stars because the Black Cherry mimosa was not as good. Went on a Sunday around 11:00am and the line was out the door. We only waited 20 min for a table since it was a party of 2. But I was hearing others wait time was 1 hour or more for large parties.

We also grabbed an order of their super skinny and crispy french fries. The total with drinks came to around the mid $40s (before tip) and the customer service was friendly and helpful, as well as a bonus short wait for the food. Everything was delicious. They also offer a great variety of sandwiches and drinks at brunch and a great seasonal menu. Absolutely worth your time if you are in the area and looking for great atmosphere, reasonable prices, and fantastic service.

This is our favorite breakfast spot in Baltimore!…read more Seating is limited, so if you go at a busy (weekend morning) time you will wait. Gently open the door, walk to the front counter, add your name to the list. We usually go at an off-time (mid-morning during the week) and we often get right in. The staff is always friendly and helpful and the coffee is delicious. My husband likes their sweet options (his favorite is the Shut the Fluff Up French Toast) and I like the savory (Animal Style Hash is my go-to) and then we trade a few bites. I love the funky art work, and they always offer a cup of coffee to go.

Service was fast, wishhhh I had room for more food at the time due to the types of options available. Biscuits & Gravy were satisfactory!

Had a slice of pineapple and some blueberries which I wasn't expecting, but nice surprise! Bit noisy & cramped but it was a Monday morning!

Coming to Annabel Lee Tavern is to experience an Edgar Allen Poe themed restaurant. It's not very…read morebig, feels a little crampy, dingy, in a rustic neighborhood you wouldn't think had anything worthwhile. Then you find out about this hole in wall spot. My friend said I had to come here. We did. As soon as we stepped out of the Uber the adventure began. The building is so out dated but the entrance door held its charm. Neon lit Edgar portrait reading from a book his Annabel Lee. Complete with a bouquet of flowers. To the right more words of the writer surrounded with a few tables and chairs for those willing to chill in the cold. Inside was no different. Several crows, skulls everything you'd expect. And a well stocked bar. Many writings on the wall, articles, awards, etc all added to the vibe and theme. And of course dimly lit but you could still read the menu. We were guided to the back for our party of 5, in a corner away from everyone else. That made it easy for us to converse as we perused the menu exclaiming this and that of the dreadful names used and deathly ingredients mixed in. It definitely made it more appetizing. After working all day I was ready for a drink and settled on the To Isadore; gin, lavender syrup, lemon squeeze topped with segura cava. That hit the spot. Unfortunately, I had eaten quite a bit on this trip and forced myself to order the Chef Salad. Nothing more to say there. My wife, though, ordered the seafood lasagna. Never had that and it didn't sound like something I could get into. I was wrong. This is Baltimore. The seafood here is astounding. It was delicious and had to take a couple spoon fulls. My friend ordered the double beef patty burger. I was jealous until he offered me a bite. That was really good too, and juicy. If you're looking for an experience and are not too afraid you may want to visit Annabel's. I do recommend it and do insist coming after the sun has been well down.

Ive been here several years ago. I didnt remember much however it was not a negative experience…read more We made reservations prior without any issues. Its very quiet and reserved. Plenty seats and also patio seating. We chose inside seating. The waitress was very attentive and sweet. Unfortunately, I forgot her name. The menu is viewable from a QR code. We ordered, wood grilled octopus, wood grilled oysters, sampler raw oysters, charcutierie board for starters. Then scallops and steak for entrees. Sweet yeast rolls were placed on the table. And can I say they were mighty and the staple beginner. The spirited drinks were "She's one in a melon"(a very light drink that was almost like a spritzer), Tiger style (smoked D'usse), espresso martini with Bailey's and An Old Fashion. All were happily enjoyed with no complaints. The starters came out and of course they were great. The grilled octopus was paired with a sauce and veggies that complimented it well. It had the right charr that presented well. The grilled oysters were very tasty and well seasoned. The charcuterie board was well put together with a large variety of cheeses, spreads, jams, meats and crustini. The various raw oyster selection was great and without the grainy sandy feel. Meals came out and I indulged heavily into my scallops that was paired with risotto and carrots. The light well seasoned pan seared scallops were amazing. I left nothing behind as I normally do not finish my meals. The GRILLED HANGER STEAK FRITES seemed to be well prepared and without complaint. I however, did not indulge in that meal. I would definitely come again.

The first time I recall having a shrimp salad sandwich which was the special of the day served with fries and it was a good portion. The second time around I got the cheese steak with whiz and I wasn't as big a fan of this. I actually ended up switching with my bf who got a tuna salad which tasted fresh and had bits of candied pecans which offset the pepperiness of the tuna crust. Service is always fast and friendly- a good neighborhood place to stop in for drinks and tavern ish fare. More a 3.5 than a 3. (Wish Yelp would implement half stars :/)

So you know I had to oblige and suggested that we try Estiatorio Plaka in Greektown. I always love venturing over to Greektown for some really good Greek food. And if you like Greek wine, their wine list is really extensive. Every wine on their list is carefully chosen from Greek regions to complement our menu, highlight its unique character, and bring an authentic taste of Greece to your table. We pretty much went straight to dinner we both wanted fish this particular evening. I had the LAVRAKI (BRANZINO) which was grilled with capers and oregano and my date wanted the snapper (LITHRINI (RED SNAPPER) , he loves snapper. Both dishes come with a choice of two sides which you can swap out. I chose the horta(field greens) and rice, my date chose the broccolini and roasted potatoes. To be honest the broccolini and roasted potatoes are your best bet. The horta was a tad bland for my liking and really need some seasoning. The rice was ok. For dessert we shared the baklava cheesecake. Soooo good. Baklava is my fave Greek dessert. They also have a nice cocktail and wine list. I plan on returning because they have a really nice happy hour with $1 oysters, $12 fish tacos and $7 espresso martini's, so that alone I am sold on. The decor in here is absolutely stunning, and they also have a really nice bakery to grab some desserts to take home if you like. So if you are in the Highlandtown neighborhood, make sure you stop in, you will not be disappointed SYOY

Ordered an iced americano to drink and that came out fast and refreshing, The service here was so welcoming and friendly. You definitely get awesome neighborhood spot vibes. This is my new favorite spot for breakfast bagels and just to get a coffee drink in the area. Always love supporting small businesses and this place does an exceptional job. Definitely recommend checking it out and I'll for sure be back!
