I but the food was great! Between us we got a chicken sandwich topped with crab imperial which my husband loved, crab cakes which were meaty and delicious. The kids got a burger that they loved and fried shrimp which was not greasy and big and my daughter loved that. I also got an orange crush to drink and it was so good! We sat outside on a nice day and it really turned itself around. The food took a while to come out is my only complaint and with kids it got a bit iffy. They got my sons burger wrong and the fix had him eating way after everyone else. They comped a drink so that was nice but like I said the kids were melting down at that point.

Baltimore City Restaurant week, I love you!…read more I picked this restaurant for Winter Restaurant Week Lunch and I was very happy I did. Overall I had a very very good visit. I walked in and I was greeted immediately by Kelsey. I was informed I could sit where ever I wanted to sit and on which ever level floor I chose to and they would find me and take care of me. They did just that. I chose to sit on the 2nd level because it was a little warmer up there and I was able to have time to myself to catch up on my Yelp. I was given menus immediately although I already knew what I wanted. I ordered immediately and was informed that I made great selections and great selections indeed. I ordered their Firecracker Shrimp appetizer and B.A.L.T. Sandwich as my entree. The appetizer was plated lovely! It was so tasty and good. The B.A.L.T. is where we ran into some problems, but before I get to that let me finish out the greatness. The French Fries that I received with my sandwich was so good that I stop eating my Shrimp Appetizer because I had to eat each and every one of those curly seasoned fries. They were so so so good! They didn't even need ketchup! Now, this B.A.L.T. Sandwich was so sad I think I saw it crying on my plate. I got 1 scrawny piece of bacon for each half. They gave me the entire head of lettuce and I opted not to get the avocado and mayo but 1 miserable piece of bacon on each half... heartbreaking. For that reason this place gets a 4. Only reason I didn't give them a 3 is because the young lady that assisted (Kelsey) was fantastic! She was so sweet and kind. She came at the right time all the time and each time she needs to see me she had to run upstairs to check on little old me and appeared to have no problem with it. I would definitely eat there again but no way in hell would I order that B.A.L.T. sandwich. Ultimately worth a visit Yelpers !!

I finally made it to IQ Bar And Grill to take advantage of their happy hour. They have one bar…read morewith less than 15 seats. When I walked in, the only seat available was on the corner and it was oddly placed and there isn't any counterspace for whomever sits there. The hostess offered me a two-seater table next to the DJ booth, so I sat down. I looked over their happy hour menu and decided upon a margarita because that is what I decided to go with prior to arriving since their spirit menu was lacking in variety of real tequilas. I walked over to the bar to look at what they offered and didn't see much either. The hostess is extremely extra and started calling me baby from our initial interaction . . . . ummmmm . . . . is this not a place of business, I wondered. It triggered me and reminded me of being asked, "You want hot sauce and ketchup on your french fries baby?" from the corner store lady when I was little. It's no now and was no then. I'm guessing some people find this as being extra friendly when talking to black people but I find it unprofessional and belittling. It took a minute before she came back to take my actual order and meanwhile, I noticed a lady that was behind the bar earlier, now walking around. I tried to speak to her multiple times but she ignored me. I wanted to ask how the blueberry syrup for the margarita was made since sir was behind the bar earlier. When my server/hostess finally returned, I asked her if she knew and she quickly responded by telling me how the margarita itself was made instead of how they made the actual blueberry syrup. I wanted to make sure there wasn't any artificial blue dye. I went ahead and ordered the margarita and it was ok. The lady who I saw walking around brought me a glass of water after I ordered my drink I said hello to her as she placed it down and told her thank you and she didn't even acknowledge me or say anything back. Very awkward. The young lady who was serving me seemed to be the only server for the entire restaurant. Because of this it took so long before she even came back to check on me. I wanted to order food but kept trying to get her attention that she was busy with other guests. As I sat there there were more people who came in and walked out when there was nowhere to sit at the bar and some chose to be seated at tables. I tried to order food at the restaurant next door by calling but was informed they were not the same and I would have to order from IQ. I needed to leave so when I got up to take a phone call and walk out, I came back in and my server was there waiting for me. I asked how long it would take for me if I ordered food and was she informed me 20 minutes I said no thank you and Jess to close me out and bring me the check. She run me up on the tablet and only showed me the price. I gave her my payment and ask for the receipt when I noticed that it asked me to give additional gratuity for single digit percentages. Knowing that only occurs when an automatic gratuity is added on to your bill, I asked to see the receipt. She wasn't able to show me the receipt because she already charged my payment. I asked if gratuity was already included and she said it was a service fee. And then asked how much was it and informed her I wanted to see what I was charged so she pulled it up on another device to show me how much the service fee was. Why did I have to ask and why was this not told to me ahead of time? I'm so over restaurants charging automatic gratuity or service fee, giving you crappy service, and then hiding the fact is already included. Don't show me how much I owe, show me everything that I purchased so I can make sure I was charged correctly. Now this was easy because I only ordered one drink. Also, it was not written on the menu that gratuity was automatically added either. Part of me is so over it.

Ambiance classy island vibe. The bartender was incredibly…read moreattentive. My friend and I started with the patties, they were served cut in 1/2 on a platter. Warm, flaky tender, deliciously seasoned - OMG GOOD GOOD NUFF NUFF - All yuh deese, GET SOME and GET SOME FUH CARRY HOME NUH. Sadly Conch Fritters were sold out - all the more reason to come back and try again. We had the $39 IQ Jamaican Platter which included ackee and saltfish, callaloo and saltfish, fried breadfruit, fried dumplings, and plantains. My friend had the bottomless Mimosas, she enjoyed them. Let me step back for a minute. Good People DO NOT SHOW UP HUNGRY BELLY ACTING A FOOL. Your food is made fresh when you order it. Now let me tell you THE Jamaican Platter is plenty of food, enough for two people. The food was delicious, served hot and seasoned just like backhome. Me greedy backside ordered the ox tail and grits and yes I did share some with my friend. Just so you aren't surprised you will be served GIANT Oxtail seasoned to perfection, it will have meat and marrow. The grits were more akin to polenta, creamy and delicious. There was a DJ and an MC the vibe was cool, relaxed and welcoming. The food delicious. I definitely look forward to returning and I hope they have Conch Fritters. Stop by and get some terrific, fresh, made to order food. You won't regret it. One Love!

I brought some friends from DC here bc Rye Street Tavern is part of the Clyde's restaurant group…read moreand we love the Clyde's restaurants in DC! We came when the weather was warm and there is lots of outdoor seating right by the water. There is some parking right at the restaurant, otherwise if that's full (like it was the last time I went), you can find street parking around the area. We split the calamari and rolls, which were both great! We also liked the crab cakes, catfish, and hake. A great place for seafood in a lively but nice atmosphere with good service.

If you're looking for boujee on a budget, this might be it; very nice yet affordable…read more We really had no idea what we were walking into, but it was date night and we just wanted to sit down somewhere and enjoy the evening. Our server Alejandro took great care to describe menu items in detail and was attentive throughout the meal. I had grilled salmon over broccolini with potatoes; Autumn had the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and a baked mac. Flavorful and portioned well. For dessert, we had key lime pie and a brownie with a scoop of vanilla. The brownie is bigger than you think. Sweet enough; and not too much, not too little. It was a bit louder than I anticipated, but that would be more a single group to blame than the restaurant. It does seem to be inviting for groups, but some people simply just have no social awareness outside of their own bubble. After they left, it was a nice, moderate volume. All in all, I would say we'd come here again on occasion. -- Update, 8/23/25: Still loud in here, but you can expect as much on a summer Friday night. Their seasonal menu changed since our last visit. We ordered sliders, their "RST" burger, and the bluegrass salmon. Our food came out separately, but our server Tolu made quick work of apologizing on behalf of the runner and offered a complimentary appetizer while we waited for the last entrée. Dinner was had -- no photos of the clean plate club, though. I would like to give an honorable mention for their fries; crispy and flavorful. Closed the night out with brownies for dessert. They could probably forego the 2nd squeeze of whip, maybe an additional scoop of ice cream instead. Will continue to visit here from time to time.

I've been wanting to go here for a while since it's got a predominantly rum based cocktail list…read more But what caught me off guard was that roasted beet and goat cheese. It's a must have, and honestly brightened my day. The crunch from the pistachios, good olive oil, and golden beets? Hell yeah. Sat at the bar since I walked in onna whim, asked for a recommendation and ended up with a tiki drink that I didn't realize was maize liquor. (I hate maize/corn liquor) and I did my best to power through it. It honestly wasn't a bad mix, I actually enjoyed the other flavors and the garnish baby corn, but I think the bartender could tell it wasn't my speed and set me up with a beer and made my night. The beer selection here is pretty good, with a lotta local varieties. What cracked me up was the lady next to me cracking back a few lemonade natty lights. Cute date spot, but if you're looking for a nice lil cocktail at the end of the night, this is a great spot. If you're a group of 2 or more and you want a table, make a reservation. This place gets packed!

The drinks... oh, the drinks are so good. Mai tai Mondays are awesome. Once in a while, they do a rum education series, so they do want to educate their patrons about the various rums that they have available. The place is kinda small at first glance, but there is more seating upstairs. Sometimes, you have to wait to be seated. If it is slower, then you can pick wherever you want to sit. The staff is very attentive and friendly. I don't think I have had one bad encounter.
