    Kids Burger Meal
    Amy Amanda A.

    The food is actually between good and great. The service and ambience, however, is horrible. So bad that even though I fell in love with their crab soup, it would never be worth returning to get it because of the terrible service. We decided to eat here because after checking in on Yelp to the Sheraton (which the restaurant is located within), Yelp sent me a 25% off discount for the restaurant so I checked out the menu online and there were some tasty sounding dishes. After settling into our room we headed downstairs to check out Rain 903. Upon walking up there was literally no one in the restaurant and a couple of people in the bar so we thought, great, we'll have a quick meal because it's not busy. Boy were we wrong. It took a solid 10 minutes before our waiter asked for our order. He literally was just gone after seating us. There were two workers at the bar so he wasn't assisting there and the two workers at the bar were really just chit chatting the whole time anyway. When he finally came back to take our orders we realized what level of service we were in for. We ordered our starter and meals all at once. Crab stuff mushrooms for starters, kids burger meal for one kiddo, kids penne pasta for another kiddo, creamy crab soup for me, my oldest got the Philly cheesesteak and my husband got the cheeseburger. Most of the food was actually great. The crab stuffed mushrooms were flavorful and truly stuffed full of crab. My crab soup was also surprisingly filled with crab and tasted great. At $11, I was truly shocked at how much crab was in it. All the kids enjoyed their meals and my husband said his cheeseburger was decent. Since the service was now knowingly slow at this point, we put in our dessert order as soon as our dinner came out and asked that they be packaged to go. There's no way the waiter put the order in promptly because we were there another 30 minutes still waiting on the desserts. I could go into more detail about how truly slow, unfriendly and disappointing the service was but it would probably bore you just as much as I was bored sitting and waiting for our bill at the end of the night for so long.

    Crab Cake Sandwich

    I had a great dinner here! The crab cake was delicious and good quality lump crab. We also had the stuffed mushrooms (also with delicious crab!), chili, steak dinner and crab soup. Portions were large

    Decided to try because it's within walking distance to our home. Never seems busy from the outside, but they really were bustling inside! Excellent service although could seem slow if you are in a hurry. We sat near the window and watched the busy Towson scene. From start to finish, the food is really really good. Well prepared and presented. Loved the calamari appetizer and the cream of crab soup - thick and well spiced. Both the salad with grilled salmon and steak with mashed exceeded expectations. Hope to go back real soon!

    crab dip, accidentally stirred before photo- was pretty good.

    Food is mediocre. For being connected to the Marriott-Sheraton- you would think it would be better. If you want to know what I think is good food/cooking is feel free to stalk me on IG @bitterbiologist. Its public. Its food. (not looking for followers- just saying this is where i am coming from) tried the mushroom barley soup- i think it was canned. honestly. Waitress was nice to offer and bring out sample- so that was nice. crab dip was highlight of the meal, even though it took a REALLY long time to come out- needed old bay- but I was okay with adding more. pita was deep fried nicely with old bay and parsley. I asked for cucumber slices to watch my carb aspect. Crab cake was bland. Def needs old bay and parsley. served with an overly sweet altered version of tartar sauce- the "remoulade"-too much sweet relish. We really just wanted tartar sauce and was told that they do not make in house/ had available (uh okay, fancy restaurant). I got the pesto/sundried tomato chicken sandwich- and unfortunately, the menu online does not match what was given to us when we were seated for dinner so I cant remember the full name. It said something along the lines of "chicken with provolone and pesto and sun dried tomato" aspect. I remember thinking, WOW- thats gonna be really good. regardless of bun or no bun, I got a small pounded out chicken tenderloin with a melted slice of provolone.hilarious. the sundried tomato pesto was gross and missing depth. I ended up adding the remainder of my crab dip on top and was content with my "chicken chesapeake." Fries in general- were sort of worthless. I will say, things did come out hot. so that was appreciated and honestly holding it all together with the slow service, upcharges on everything (which were clearly made known, but like really?), and weird flavors. I was still hungry, I will say, probably my fault (portions are not huge but adequate so still saying I will put that on myself)- as again I didnt eat the bun- so I asked for a cheeseburger (no bun) with crispy onion straws as i saw a meaty one float across the room. I did not realize that it would be a pre packed/ frozen patty. 12$ for NOT a hand packed patty. Very mechanical/pressed texture and feel. Service is extremely slow, we were hoping our girl was having an off day, but honestly- not sure. She looked like she was hoping people would not show up (snow storm weather). I will say- we did see one other waitress that had smiles and pep in her step- and i think it was the manager was who came over to check on us too (so didnt want to disregard those ladies). all in all, I wished for better. If you're starving, it works. Be prepared to spend money and feel underwhelmed.

    Crab cakes were good, no filler!

Ordered the cheesesteak egg rolls, shrimp and chicken fried rice, broccoli bowl with chicken, wings and Mac and cheese. I only tried the wings ( very good), shrimp and chicken fried rice (good flavor but the tail on the shrimp always irritates me). I ordered a bowl of the cream of crab. A bit salty and a little too many crushed up shells for me. I wanted a ribeye steak but they didn't have anymore so I got the t bone. It was cooked exactly how I wanted it (medium rare). Every bite was flavored well. My old fashion was strong and good. I will be going back to try more on the extended menu.

    I stumbled into Melba's on a Friday evening around 6:30 PM, not long after they had opened. The…read moremusic wasn't even playing yet when I walked in, but the place already felt welcoming. I sat at the bar and quickly realized it was cash only, so I stepped upfront to use the ATM. The fee was $3, so I definitely recommend bringing cash ahead of time. I ordered an $8 drink, which was strong and very much needed--and shoutout to my bartender Tiffany, because she definitely took care of me. That drink was good, okay? After the first one, the drinks kept flowing, and the night really picked up. For food, I had the lemon pepper wings with fries and ranch. Even though I was already a little tipsy by that point, the wings were really good--flavorful, perfectly cooked, and hit the spot. And somehow, I even ended up with free food, which made the night even better. Just to be clear for anyone planning to come: they charge at the door after 8 PM daily, so make sure you have cash if you're arriving after that time. They also have happy hour, though I can't remember the exact hours--it may be 5-7 or 6-7--but they offer $2 off drinks, which explains the $8 price during happy hour. Also, while the bar is cash only, the food is separate and you can pay for food with a card. As the night went on, the music was on point--a great mix of old school and new school--and the vibes were just right. I made my way to the back where the dance floor is and fully immersed myself in the club/lounge atmosphere. I came around 6:30 and stayed until about 12:30, and honestly, I didn't want to leave. I had other plans later, but if I didn't, I probably would have stayed and danced all night. Even if you come by yourself, you won't feel alone for long. As long as you have an open personality and good energy, people will talk to you, dance with you, and make you feel right at home. I haven't been on a Monday yet, which is what they advertise for my age range (I'm 28), but I'm definitely planning to check it out. I also heard Sundays are house music, so if that's your vibe, it's worth stopping by. Will I be back to Melba's? Hell yeah. Did I have a great time at Melba's? Absolutely. It was a whole vibe. If you're looking for a vibe--go to Melba's.

The only good thing about this place is the music and the drink prices. The DJ did his thing last night. The bartenders were clueless. My cousin asked for a certain liquor and one of the bartenders told her they didn't have it so she settled on something else. Her boyfriend went to the bar to order a drink and noticed that said liquor on the shelf. When he approached the bartender, she claimed she didn't say they were out. My cousin overheard her and confronted her about it. The bartender changes up and says "well we were out at the moment." Really? You could have checked the back for more. Why lie about it? And when she asked to be refunded for the first drink, she refused. Because I witnessed this, I decided to just get a Corona because how can you jack up a bottled beer right? I order and the bartender was making a drink and asked another bartender to grab me a Corona. The bartender who gets my Corona rings me up and I asked her to start a tab so I gave her my card. For starters, the beer was warm. Then, near the end of the night, I go to close my tab and the bartender doesn't know where my card is and claims she never had it. I know who I gave me card to! Come to find out, she gave the card to the previous bartender who was too busy to get my Corona in the first place. Back to the first issue... The bartender was salty about being called out so she had an attitude with my cousin and pretty much ignored her when she asked for more ice for the bottle bucket for the table. My sister tries to ask for ice also but the same bartender ignored her too. Really? How do you treat customers like this, especially when the person who bought the table did not have anything to do with the earlier incident? This place is a joke. Parking is limited. There was a drunk man passed out on the floor. The people in my party were the only ones to notice and if it wasn't for them checking on him, I'm pretty sure security or the other staff would have not noticed all night. The crowd never really picked up. It was only enough people to sit along the bar and maybe 5 people at the other tables, and the 15 people in our party. To top it off, a drunken fight broke out between a man and a woman. That's what killed my vibe for the rest of the night. Never coming back.

I got a margarita which was rather strong so that was a plus & it wasn't too pricey. My waitress was excellent checking to make sure i was good & satisfied. When my food finally came i was completely disappointed. 3 small tenders & some uncooked onion rings. I've heard from multiple friends it's a way better place than the night i went. So i promised myself & my Yelp followers who value my reviews I'll go back one day for a second opinion. But as of right now I'll have to give it 2 stars
