    Cake that we brought to the restaurant
    Nathaliah S.

    We visited Ouzo Bay to celebrate a family member's birthday, and it was a good experience. We drove by the restaurant on our way to our hotel, and its inviting atmosphere drew us in for dinner. Located right in, Ouzo Bay is located right by the water in Baltimore's Inner Harbor so the one thing they should not disappoint in is their seafood, and they did not disappoint! We started with the bread, lamb meatballs and the Trio Tasting, which included Tzatziki, Roasted Eggplant, and Tirokafteri spreads. The Roasted Eggplant and Tirokafteri were the standouts for me, out of the trio. Allison though each spread was delicious. For my main entree, I ordered the Stuffed Shells, which were filled with jumbo crab meat, spinach, three cheeses, shallots, garlic, lemon, and roasted tomato sauce. I'd never had seafood-stuffed shells before, as I'm used to the hearty marinara sauce and ground meat, and this was pleasant surprise. The crab meat was fresh and not fishy at all, with plenty of crab on the plate. We brought a cake for the birthday that we were celebrating, and there was a per-person fee (around $5 to $8) for the cake cutting. While the food was fantastic, service could use some improvement. Our waiter lacked attentiveness, and we often had to call him over for silverware, to clear plates, or for additional requests, as he didn't check in on us frequently. Overall, Ouzo Bay has beautiful decor and flavorful dishes, and a nice ambiance. I will definitely go back when in town, especially for those stuffed shells!

    This restaurant was very accommodating. Ordering food was timely; you'll get your order within five to ten minutes of requesting. All of the food was fresh; the service was impressive and always coming back to check on the table. Although the restaurant's crowd was light for the afternoon, our server was attentive and very knowledgeable of the menu and how our food was presented or cooked--the Mediterranean fare was defined out by rating and prep time. A beautiful gem in Harbor East-they don't disappoint!!

    We had brunch here and sat across the street on their outdoor patio. I highly recommend it if the weather permits. I definitely recommend the crab cake benedict. The steak kabob presentation was amazing. The french toast was good, but I probably wouldn't get it again. Our server was great and took good care of us!

    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... Plays Phil Collins: One More Night Yup, please give me one more night, or maybe a few more nights. We are definitely running this one back!

    Had not been here for years. Love this restaurant. Never disappoints. Devour gives the upscale club vibe. Service was excellent. Waiter was very attentive and took care of all our needs. We started off with appetizers which included lamb chops which we had popsicled so we could share (normally an entree). All the food was cooked perfectly. The scallops were great, a little salty for my liking but some sort of carbohydrate would have muted the saltiness. Desert was really good as well, would not have expected to like the Greek yogurt as much as I did. Definitely one of my go to places for taking people out to eat in Baltimore.

    Whole Maine Lobster
    Marissa H.

    My boyfriend and I enjoyed our dinner at Ouzo Bay. The restaurant decor takes you straight in to the Mediterranean! Service was quick, efficient, and friendly. And the food was tasty and fresh! For drinks we had Lemon Drop Martinis and the Mi-Dusa. They brought out a complimentary Bread Plate with Olive Oil and we ordered the Ouzo Mussels and Flaming Saganaki (which they light on fire tableside) as our apps. For dinner I had the Whole Maine Lobster with a side of Greek Potatoes and my boyfriend had the Aegean Bronzino with a side of Horta. To finish we shared the Baklava for dessert. Yum!

    Ouzo Bay is a located in Harbor East, near the Inner Harbor. That being said, street parking is limited. I had a reservation for Friday at 7PM and was seated immediately. Surprisingly, it wasn't really busy. Inside is well-lit and nicely appointed. Our server was polite and attentive. We decided on a sparking Rose and a hand-crafted cocktail, Phanes' Poison. Both were crisp and refreshing. To satisfy our hunger, we ordered lamb meatballs as an appetizer; Australian Lamb Chops and Aegean Bronzino for the main course. Absolutely amazing! Definitely add Ouzo Bay to your list if you're in the neighborhood.

    Aperol spritz
    Brenda S.

    Came back to Ouzo for some food and drinks - was sadly a little disappointed in the quality of the food. I expected better flavors. The plating was nice and the service was decent. The inside vibes are fine, I definitely prefer the outdoor "beach" area. I will continue coming for drinks but will probably not be back for more food, especially with the many other options around Harbor East.

    Espresso Martini
    Rod J.

    A nice little spot close to Little Italy and just off the Harbor. The service was great that we received and the food was flavorful and done well. However, for the portion sizes and what we spent, I think that is my only area where I feel could have been better. I do enjoy great food though and have no problem paying for it. But with some of the other restaurants around on the Harbor and that we have visited, there are definitely some other options that I would consider. Again, enjoyed the experience and checking out the restaurant, but just feel the value was overvalued.

    This review is for Ouzo Beach, outdoor bar across the street from the restaurant. GLOWS: -The overall vibe is very nice. On a gorgeous weather day, you might just forget you're in Baltimore -The drinks are pretty tasty- just very expensive -They did a great job making a mocktail! -The hummus is quite good! GROWS: -The outdoor space could use a little TLC. Cushions on seats are dirty, paper menus aren't the cleanest, etc

    Kavourokeftes/Jumbo Lump Crab Cake
    Shannon W.

    Amazing place, highly recommend! The place itself is beautiful! We had a great bottle of wine for $65 for a Greek wine from Santorini. For lunch we ordered a few things and split everything. It was all delicious. Favorites included: Saganaki, Bibb lettuce salad and the crab cakes were amazing. The Saganaki came over and the waitress lit a flame to the cheese as we sat there, which was really cool. The crab cake had tons of crab, very little fillets and came with little potatoes (super filling). The sauce was delicious too. I'll 100% bookmark this spot for next time I am in Baltimore!

    This review is for the "Ouzu Beach" area outside of the main Ouzu Bay restaurant! My friends and I got Aperol Spritz's (perfect for summer - photo attached) and they were wonderful. Service was fast and smooth, and the ambiance is clearly gorgeous! The primary reason I have a 4 and not a 5 star is because I do find the prices to be pretty high. Also - wear some bug spray during the summer (since you're near the water), I left with some mosquito bites!

    Fried Eggplant
    Jay D.

    This is for ouzo beach specifically because I do like ouzo bay but man, the beach side was truly terrible. We got there, were told to sit anywhere and given water pretty quickly, but then were straight up ignored (like made eye contact with servers but nobody came around) for an hour... we had to go to the bar just to ask for menus and even then they didn't come. While waiting we looked it up and it seemed like a lot of other people had the same complaint about ouzo beach. After ordering our drinks and a few apps we were told that one of the drinks was out so we asked for another menu but again waited for about 40 minutes before anyone came by again.. we ended up not even ordering the last drink and had decided in the first 1 hour wait that we didn't want to order any entrees. The cocktails were good, but I can probably name at least 10 other places in the Fells Point area that have good cocktails with hopefully at least some semblance of service. And I actually was a little disappointed with the food, I usually love all forms of eggplant but the fried eggplant was very bland. I don't recommend coming to ouzo beach at all.

    My husband and I went here for date night this past Saturday (9/26/26), and the experience was…read moreABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!! I love that this restaurant is its own independent restaurant and not a part of the Atlas Group food chain (I dine at restaurants that are part of the Atlas group, I have no issues with the Atlas group, just nice to see an independent restaurant). Disclaimer (LONG REVIEW) Upon pulling up, I instantly loved the way the wording of the Restaurant sticks out, and that valet parking was available and prices were reasonable ($15.00 of which is added to your bill), because I really dislike finding parking when going to dinner or having to walk from the garage. The valet employees were very professional and pleasant. The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing, the neutral soft tones colors selected for furniture and decor was very cozy and warm. There was much attention paid to detail throughout the entire restaurant, I literally forgot where I was . The seating is close and intimate but not too close . The interior decor was captivating. From the moment you walk through the entrance, everything draws you in, appealing to every sense of your curiosity. The soft tones and moody atmosphere made it feel like we had stepped into foreign lands, a world of its own, gently planted in the middle of a little big city like Baltimore. It almost feels like a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Now to the food, we had hummus with shrimps, I had the "Bronzino", of which was delectable, it came with grilled broccolini. My husband had the " Shish Tawouk" of which was chicken kebab served with grilled veggies & rice . The rice was very flavorful with pomegranate seeds which was a nice added touch, the chicken was tender and flavorful as well. I also had the "Kebbet Karaz" which was like lamb meatballs in a really sweet & savory sauce. Everything we ordered was SCRUMPTIOUS! Now service: (Dianna) was our server and she was so pleasant, attentive, patient and so knowledgeable about the menu, she made our dining experience unforgettable with her amazing smile . (Iman), the manager was going around to tables and interacting with customers to ensure our dining experiences was satisfying and enjoyable. Iman was so amiable, affable, courteous, professional and so pleasant. I look very forward to dining here again. Both Iman and Dianna made our date night a night to remember .

    Beautiful decor, no doubt…read more The baba ghanoush and the shrimp appetizer were my favorites. The filet mignon was not very good, it really needed some seasoning. Very bland, served luke warm and even had a hint of it being frozen .... Not sure but it wasn't worth the price. I wanted to sprinkle salt over it. Ate 1/4 . I didn't like any of their cocktails. The desserts were just ok. For the price, I'd say pass. Great service and good coffee. I would recommend stopping in for appetizers and desserts with coffee, maybe.

I can't speak on the customer service because I didn't talk to anyone. I ordered at the kiosk and they called my number and that was it. I paid $19.45 for my meal. I order a side of falafels (3) and the street bowl with beef flank, tzatziki, and mild red pepper sauce. The falafels were way too crispy. I feel like compared to other falafels I've tried these were on the hard side. Thankfully I had some tzatziki sauce to dip them in, if I didn't, they would have been a little hard to eat. The flavor was okay but the texture was not appealing. I really wanted to get beef shawarma but they were out so I opted for the beef flank. I wish I would have just gotten chicken instead. The bowl came with rice and a lettuce salad that was underneath the beef. I'm not sure if the lettuce had arugula in it as well, but the lettuce gave sort of a bitter taste which I did not care for at all. Did not taste good so I would add a lot of tzatziki sauce to it to cut down on the bitter taste. The beef was okay, nothing to rave about. I was just very underwhelmed with my food. Not sure if I would give it a try again. If so, I would definitely get something else or build my own bowl maybe. Try it for yourself and see how you like it.

I had the LAVRAKI (BRANZINO) which was grilled with capers and oregano and my date wanted the snapper (LITHRINI (RED SNAPPER) , he loves snapper.

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.
