Indoor and outdoor seating (dogs allowed outside) we opted for indoor and placed our order eggs in bread with home fries and a breakfast sandwich, two coffees. Sat ourselves and soon our tasty breakfast was brought to our table. Nice ambiance and good food. Parking was easy too on the street right in front of the restaurant. I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area. They serve lunch and bar offerings too!

This is like a bodega in Upperfells. I have had their food a lot catered at a lot of the events I…read morego to in butchers Hill, but I've actually never walked in the doors in person. I was here for an art show. it's really cool charmed kitchen partners with Baltimore Art Gallery to change out the art on their walls, and it's available for sale and it's all to support local artists. It is a little hipster bougie and the wine selection isn't bad. It's a little bit more mainstream. They have a lot of beer. I found a couple natural wines. The Portuguese wine that I normally buy for $9 was $14, but again there's a little bit of a service fee here since it's like a local corner store. I was so happy to see that I could buy Taharka brother's ice cream here because they recently pulled out a Broadway market, and I was having to drive outside of fells point but now I can just walk to this convenience store! The food has always been solid here, but I was so incredibly shocked at the grilled chicken Caesar salad honestly, I'm still thinking about the wrap and I want to get another one desperately. The house salad, which is an upcharge of four dollars was really delicious as well. Such a solid spot and they do lots of promos like on Wednesdays you can buy pasta and get a glass of wine for one cent. It's really such a cool place!

Finally made it to Water for Chocolate and I had an AMAZING experience. The restaurant is small and…read morecozy but still perfect for a date night or outing with friends. The staff were so friendly. During our visit we had two waitress checking in on us through our dinner. I went for Baltimore restaurant week and I must say I enjoyed every. I started with the spicy crab dip which came with a big piece of garlic bread. It was delicious but I do feel like the dip could have had more of a crab flavor. Next I did the Chipotle maple salmon with cilantro rice, also very delicious along with the lobster shrimp salmon belly curry. WOW! Lastly the peach creme brulee tasted more like sweet potato but that's the only thing I didn't enjoy. Would definitely go back!

So it seems like people know about this place; but I still feel like, at least for dine in, it…read morefeels like a hidden gem. We were there at 7 on a Saturday night (we were a few minutes late because we had a little trouble finding parking) and there was one other couple there and a small birthday party in the other section, but that was it. Whatever they're doing here for dine in, they need to keep doing. It's amazing. If dine in is this good, their catering must be insanely good. Service was wonderfully attentive. We both did the retaurant week menu, which is a great deal for $45 per person. Between us, we got the Maple salmon, Teriyaki chicken (with truffle oil pommes frites), "unconventional Caesar" salad, chicken dumplings appetizer and Sweet potato bread pudding for dessert. Everything was honestly amazing and so tasty. The chicken was succulent and pulled apart easily and the fries were delightful. My wife loved her salmon. Our appetizers were great. The bread pudding too. We will be back! If you're around their neck of the woods, go. One post-script note:The menu is a bit tricky to look at online, because you have to download it to your phone/tablet/computer first, and that's just a smidge fiddly if you peruse prior to showing up. But that's not a Water For Chocolate thing, that's a technology thing.

ive been meaning to grab lunch here for quite some time and finally got around to it over the…read moreweekend. ordered online and it was ready quickly. here are my thoughts: - kind of expensive. $5-$6 per taco is pretty steep imo. the tacos are filled, so they are worth it. you cant just get chips and guacamole, you have to buy everything separately. - of the tacos the al pastor was the best. we tried the chicken (good), shrimp (pretty spicy, wasnt prepared for it), steak (fine), and barbecue (good). the tortillas are the StARs of the show. some of the best ive had. - the pico was also spicy, if i would have known that I wouldnt have gotten such a large container to share with the fam. but it really was so fresh and delicious! - guacamole was very smooth and standard - chips were thick and had a good crunch - beans that came with the quesadilla were sort of bland and needed a lot of additions to get them in a good spot - my son loved the chicken quesadilla! - the sauces that came with the tacos were so so subtle. usually I expect the sauces to pack some heat and the Pico to be mild but this was all the opposite. we will definitely grab for lunch again :)

I usually get take out but it's a very cozy spot to eat in, and they have tap to pay capabilities so I will usually pop in after a jog when I don't have my wallet and it's not a problem. FYI, parking is free on Boston Street but depending on the tune of day can fill up. Although the menu items will sound familiar to Thai disagree, keep in mind that this is a Laotian restaurant! The flavors are going to be a bit different. Based on the items I've had, I would say it's less heavy and less of a coconut/sweet base than typical Thai dishes. Try them out for yourself!

One of the best meals I've had in Baltimore! And the service is exceptional!…read more Oleum is an upscale vegan restaurant with a large variety of menu options. Our server, Josie, went above and beyond to take care of us. She provided excellent recommendations and was super friendly and attentive! We ordered the Batata Harra, Saltat Marrakech, and the Stuffed Dates for apps. All of them were incredible, but the Saltat was so refreshing and the Dates truly stole the show. The creamy ricotta filling with red pepper sauce was to die for. For mains, we shared the Lasagna and did a half and half pizza of The Gabriel and the Toum Raider. The lasagna was super savory and very filling--perfect to share! I enjoyed both pizzas, but the Gabriel was my favorite. I loved the combo of the nutty pesto and spicy Calabrian chilis. Josie brought out a cupcake for dessert to celebrate my friend's birthday, and it was probably one of the best vegan treats I've ever had! Can't wait to come back next time I'm in town!

We were a few minutes late, but we had notified the restaurant ahead of time. The service was fine overall, but there were several things that made the experience disappointing. The menu was not explained particularly well, and a server repeatedly brought us food that we had not ordered. We had to explain multiple times that the items were not ours. We arrived around 6:45 PM for our 6:30 reservation, and we felt rushed throughout the meal because the restaurant had another reservation for our table at 8:15. While I understand that they needed to turn the table over, it made the dinner feel rushed, particularly since we had arrived only about 15 minutes after our reservation time and had notified them that we were running late. I was also disappointed that my birthday was not acknowledged at all. Despite noting it on the reservation and mentioning it when we arrived, there was no birthday acknowledgment or even a simple "happy birthday" from our server. Our table was also located directly next to the host stand, bathrooms, and waiting area. Several delivery drivers came in during our dinner and spoke very loudly while waiting, making it difficult for us to hear each other. The food was okay to good, and the service was adequate, but overall, the experience did not feel particularly special for a birthday dinner. Between feeling rushed, repeatedly receiving food we did not order, being seated in a very noisy location, and having my birthday completely overlooked, I expected more from the experience.

Located on Lombard St. Attman's has a rich history as mentioned on their website: "Established in…read more1915, Attman's has established its reputation as Baltimore's leading delicatessen along Corned Beef Row - a unique Baltimore landmark. Today, you will find the same delicious foods, outstanding personnel, and friendly service that has been maintained for over three generations. ATTMAN'S has the flavor and excitement like that of the East Side of New York City, where our famous corned beef comes out steaming hot from our kettles all day, seven days a week; and where the taste of real Jewish hot pastrami makes your mouth water for more." (https://attmansdeli.com/history/) This place became popular back in the day for Jewish food specialties especially around Passover and their kosher products. The current location was established in 1933 and still stands today. Sandiwches: I got the original 'Corned Beef' Sandwich. I got it "Extra Heavy +$" with more meat, regular cut meat (there is an option of regular cut vs lean cut for an upcharge), with Sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, with deli mustard, on toasted rye bread. DIY rueben-esque. The sandwich was amazing! Quality corned beef, so fresh and tasty. Highly recommended. This is their true, time and tested menu item! I also got the 'Lombard Street' sandwich, on toasted rye bread. It had pastrami, corned beef, chopped liver and Russian dressing. Good blend of different flavors and textures. I was expecting a savory liver pate sort of taste, but it's on the sweeter side. Which I found interesting, sorta not my jams but definitely someone else's. The 'Lombard Street Coddies' was a lil soft baked fish cake patty. It came wrapped in foil with a stone ground mustard packet and crackers, snack size. I expected some toasted crunch on the outside, but it didn't have that. Kinda smushy all over. Desserts: The 'Strawberry Shortcake' was more of a denser/ heavier cake with a cream cheese layer. The frosting was harder and super sweet. The 'Rainbow Cake' was super pretty with its colorful layers, just like the pictures. Denser sweet chocolate cake. Both cakes were good, but my preference is for softer airier cake. And icing that's lighter and less sweet. The 'Chocolate Top Cookie' (each) was a softer sugar-cookie-like base with a generous glob of chocolate frosting on top. This I'd probably not get again. The 'Black Bottom Cupcake' was super moist and yums, recommended. This I would get again. Sides: I got the 'Attman's House Salad' with Russian dressing. It was a decent sized salad, you could add different protein options on. Blend of tomatoes and lettuce. The 'Homemade Potato Salad' and the 'Homemade Coleslaw' were packaged in smaller sauce containers. Both were nice accompaniments for the sandwiches. I also got the 'Bubbie's Matzo Ball Soup'. The matzah/matzo ball was packaged in a separate tub from the soupy portion. There were good potions of vegetables and soup. It was my first time trying out a matzo ball, definitely interesting. The dough-flour bite went well with the hot chicken flavored soup. Overall, I got a bit of everything in my to-go DoorDash order to try thing out. It's very different from the types of food I usually get. This was a good experience. I really liked the corned beef sandwich here, highly recommend that. Try this place out if you have the time!
