We had a cocktail (Burnt Flamingo) and it was delicious!! I generally like sweet drinks, and my fiancé also likes sweet drinks but not as sweet. This was perfection! Sweet but not too sweet and just right in flavor. I hadn't had Vermouth before, so it was great to try that. However, what stole the show was the Jamon Serrano sandwich! WOWWW!!! As my fiancé said, "this is the best sandwich I've had in Baltimore!"" And pretty much every day since then, she's been thinking about that sandwich and when we get to eat that deliciousness again. Highly recommend!

The ambiance was fantastic for a sunny day. We were able to sit outside and enjoy some cocktails while taking in the sun and the scenery. The also have a tavern which I didn't get to check out but will check out next time. The service was great. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. He told us a little history of the wine bar and gave great recommendations for drinks and food. I ordered a whisky sour and for food we had potatoes, beats and a delicious slaw. It was a great experience. If you are looking for a chill relaxing wine bar then Fadensonnen is the place for you. I really liked that they not only served wine but also cocktails and beer. I will definitely be back soon. Cheers!

The breeze under the pavilion was the perfect accompaniment to the evening, and there was plenty of seating. I did feel like the food portions were a little small for the price, but I enjoyed the chicken and potatoes. I also wish more of the wine selection was available by the glass instead of only the specialty wines by the bottle because we ended up choosing from the house wine options. I did have a glass of sparkling wine, which was really good. I'm planning to come back with a friend to give it another try. It's considered a Baltimore classic, so I'd love to experience it again and get a little more context on what keeps people coming back.

I tried a glass of the 2024 Karl Josef Piesporter, and it was sweet without being overwhelming. It has a laid back vibe, so there's no rush to leave. It's a great place to sit and chat for a while. They're dog friendly, though I will say the dog next to us got a little active with their friend, which was a bit distracting. Overall, it still had a quaint atmosphere. The service was on the slower side, but we weren't in a rush. Just keep that in mind if you're looking for a quicker stop because this spot might not be your best pick. I really enjoyed the wine and the waterfront views, so I'll definitely be back!

We stopped in for a cocktail. Our bartender said he was new and had been there a few months. He…read moresaid he was trying out some new drinks, so he gave us a peach cocktail to share. We ordered two vodka lemonades and two spicy margaritas. A little later he brought out a cheese board and said he was training someone, they had made an extra one, and he wanted us to have it for free. Super nice of him! We sat there enjoying our drinks, the cheese board, and watching the Blue Angels fly by. Great atmosphere. When we asked for the bill it was $73. Keep in mind, that's for four drinks because everything else was given to us for free. We never asked for the peach drink or the cheese board--he offered them. We paid the bill and left a good tip, but come on...$73 for four basic drinks is crazy. Just be aware if you're stopping in. The drinks are not cheap. Even with the free extras, it didn't feel like a good value.

My wife and I made a reservation for bar seating to celebrate a promotion and requested to move to the dining room after realising there was a world cup crowd in the bar area. Absolutely no problem at all. Our server was on the bar staff and made excellent drink recommendations, even recommending second round pairings based on our order. The food came out of the kitchen immediately, our small plates were served as they hit the pass, and our main, the duck donburi, came out of the kitchen moments after we finished our small plates. Our order was all based on the server's recommendations and were all excellent. We finished the meal with a rotating dessert, tonight a dish with blueberry compote and coconut cream atop a small cake that was equally fluffy and rich, and port and a dessert cocktail, both equally satisfying and paired nicely with the dessert. On the way out, we left our takeout box of the leftover donburi on the table and were barely out of the front door for moments before a server ran out our box to us. He was not our server; they are just very attentive. Go to this restaurant, try their elegant Polynesian dishes and spins, appreciate the service and tip them well. This restaurant deserves to survive.

Eating out is about hospitality imo. This place is long on attitude & short on hospitality…read more Our evening began with being shown to a table too small our party to sit comforatably. There were plenty of tables of the appropiate size available. The hostess/manager begrudging moved to another table. When that table had a chair that one of our party felt was uncomfortable for their needs, we asked to swap a chair with another one. (tables are set with mismatched chairs - this is part of the decor) This request turned into a hoopla because the hostess/manager had to approve the swap. Seriously? So now we've become "those" people. Moving on to the food/drink. Food /drink were dropped quickly. Too quickly IMO with entrees dropped without clearing appetizers. Knives seem to be by special request. Awkward. The food itself was fine. Tuna poke, lumpia & asparagus were all good but not memorable. Skimpy portions but okay. On to the entrees, our group had the duck, chicken & 2 ordered fish & chips. One fish & chip had 2 pieces of fish, the other only 1. Kinda felt that we were in a Seinfeld TV episode - only one piece of fish for you. just felt like we were being punished for being "those" people. We passed on dessert - no one wanted to linger or spend anymore time being rushed.
