Ouzo Bay..... Ohhhhhhhhhhh, where do I start?
I'm late to the party. (Pouts)
I don't care to drive into Baltimore and I typically stick within a 15 mile radius in the DC area. I mean can you blame me, DC has so many good restaurants.
I recently found a foodie BFF who drives all over the DMV, beyond, into the boonies and to major cities such as Baltimore just for food! Lucky me!
After we went to The Bygone last month, he mentioned every Atlas restaurant was fantastic in Baltimore. This foodie BFF of mine, is not only an Elite but a whole Maximus. Well, this girl relies on her Yelp Community and since he's a Maximus, of course I'll take heed to what he has to say! Duly noted and reservations made!
My BFF, aka my significant other, whisked me away to Baltimore on a Monday. He was dressed to impress, and I already knew the type of night we would have! We got to Ouzu Bay a little early so we pre-gamed at the bar. He's an expensive date and of course he'd order the most expensive drink on the menu, a Whistle Pig. No it didn't really whistle but cute name! He could have ordered a Shetland pony for all I cared, he was looking scrumptious and can have anything his heart desires from me. So a measly $39 whistle pig, eh have the bar babe.
We head to our seats, the wait was a bit long before a waitress came to our table but once she came over she didn't miss a beat.
Appetizer: Grilled Octopus - Exceeded Every Expectation, I'm not a huge fan of Octopus but this dish was delicious and full of flavor.
Colossal Shrimp: The best Giant Shrimp I've ever laid my mouth on! YUMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEE!
Crab Cake: Okay I may get back lash from this comment but Ouzu might have a better Crab Cake than Jerry's. Yeah I know, it's true though! It was scrumptious just like my date! No lies told!
Dessert: The Brownie - This brownie needs its own review. Honestly, it almost stole the show from my baby! He was the prize of the night but this brownie almost took his thunder.
Thankfully after eating the entire brownie (don't judge me, it was GOOD), I looked over to my left at my beau. I was conflicted, who did I love more?
No shame in my game, I ate the whole dessert but not my food, and my baby watched me be a glutton with no complaints. He's a keeper! The brownie is super good and not big enough for sharing. Get two if you're on a date, let your lady live!
Ambiance is nice! Manager was friendly! Service was excellent and the FOOD!!!! OMGeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! To die for!
I'm coming back! I've missed out! Cries inside.
Shrugs! Queues The Music...
