    Overall, I would say I was pleased with my food, but my cousin ordered some oysters, and there was a long strain of hair on, of course, the one I picked up to eat. I immediately called over the waiter to make him aware, and he replaced it, but I thought that was pretty disgusting. Especially for this to be a club, and you can only get in with a member and have to be "dressed" a certain way. I'm not sure if the protocol was adjusted due to the Janet concert. Instead fact, we were attending, too. I normally like to make positive reviews, and overall, this is still a positive review. I would just say I was skeptical the rest of the night about everything I ate because I checked everything I ate moving forward. Only when my main course came out and I wanted to use me sauce there was a piece of hair in that as well. I'm sure if I was not hungry, I probably wouldn't have eaten anything that night. I was disappointed by my first experience by having or seeing so much hair in my food or condiments. Would I go back? Maybe. Obviously it's a club and I do not live in the area so it is not somewhere I would go often but I did enjoy my entrée. So, I would be willing to give them an opportunity to redeem themselves without hair in my food. Dessert definitely was excellent and different.

    This club is one of the best in Baltimore. From the moment you enter the building until the last second in it you will be served with the best customer service, upscale one. Every detail about the decoration is though off. The cocktails and drink selection is amazing. The food is very tasty and the staff is great. You will be treated with respect, care and love. The view os lovely, we had a table with the water view. I will definitely come back to this club in Baltimore. Well recommended. If you are not a member or come with a member you will not admitted

    I was excited about my invitation to a Mother's Day brunch at The Center Club. I was invited last year, but spent the weekend in bed ill, so I was ecstatic when I was invited again this year. Once invited, I couldn't stop thinking about what I would experience at this member's only club overlooking the Baltimore skyline. Would I get crabcakes, omelets, mimosas, an extensive assortment of sweet treats? Heck yeah, I would! And I did! It was everything I imagined. And more! Lobster!! Oh, heck yeah! The venue is beautiful, the staff is extremely accommodating and friendly, the food is AMAZING! And abundant. And fresh. And delicious. I could have stayed and grazed All. Day. Long.

    It's the views for me!! I attended an alumni event here a few days ago! GO TERPS!! It was my first time hearing about this venue and I'm so glad I got to experience it. I got tons of IG worthy pics! 16th floor views!!! The event offered passed hor'oeuvres, a pasta station, as well as desserts, unlimited beer, wine and coffee! The food was tasty! Service was excellent! Complimentary garage parking was a plus. I plan to come back to check out the restaurant/bar on the 15th floor!

    Just a small part of the view.

    I was invited to an event at The Center Club and it was very nice. The event was an awards reception and it had a open bar, passed hors d'oeuvre and a small buffet. Although I only had water, there was a really pretty signature drink offered. It looked like a coconut rum something with a flower. They had crab balls which were all crab and a savory pastry of sorts. The buffet offering looked like beef so I did not partake. The party I was with invited us to dinner downstairs after and it was delicious. Our waiter Juan and the team was attentive and personable. I ordered a salad, the crab cake (of course) and it came with little potatoes and perfectly cooked vegetables. We also tried the pear ginger sorbet. No complaints. Oh I forgot to mention the view...10 stars. I'm pretty sure it's very expensive to me a member, the ticket and the dinner alone was $$$$ but it was a nice experience. It is a-ok if anyone wants to invite me again (smile)

    Great food,great ambience,great drinks,great service. This is an exclusive club that definitely treats all their members with service above & beyond what anyone can imagine. From the moment you walk in you get treated like royalty. The staff is very cheerful,helpful,& friendly at all times. The food was amazing: -The crab soup was flavorful & delicious. -The crab Caesar salad was to die for & is made from scratch right in front of you. -The salmon on top of grits was one of the best dishes I've ever had.(Definitely order this as your entree if you come here) I really enjoyed coming here with my colleague and will be returning here next time I come to the Baltimore area.

    It amazes me how consistently detailed and thorough the Center Club and its staff can be. I can honestly say that I've never had a less than fabulous time when there. Wether just in for a quick HH drink or sitting threw a late multiple course dinner with friends the Center Club goes above and beyond expectations every time. Just as important as details and experience is the expectation of a great meal. Again the Center Club has yet to disappoint. I have visited the club at least once a quarter for three years now and can honestly say I have never had a bad meal. My guest have all raved over the food and my minor kids often enjoy seasonal or themed buffets. It's now my goal to visit more often.

    I'm not a club member, I was here for a CFA event a few months back and absolutely everything is impeccable. The views, private rooms, food, drinks, bathrooms, and staff! Beautiful club.

They even worked out pricing and tried to see if the catering menu would be more beneficial for us (but it made more sense to order seperately) We all agreed we would go back if we're in the area again!

I turned back around to photograph the signage, while my party headed to the bar exit door. When I turned back to leave, a manager coming down the stairs glaring at me asked me, "Is everything all right?" Me: Yes, I was taking a pic. Manager: I know. I wanted to know if everything is ok. Still in same weird vein, like a dog with a fav chew toy. Me: Is there a problem with me taking a pic? Manager: I didn't ask you why you were taking a pic. I wanted to know if something was wrong. You were over there taking a pic and the hostess wasn't there. Sidebar: This same manager passed our table at least 3 times during our visit with no greeting, nor stopping by our table to check in with a little small talk. NOW....he asks me is something wrong nary a smile but with a .....what in the world is she doing. Me: YES, this is petty. No, you asked me if something was wrong BECAUSE I was taking a pic. If I needed something, then I'd ask the waiters at the next stand (only a few tables away) You saw us sitting at the table at the entrance and never spoke to us once. I will never return! RUDE MANAGER Interaction 0/5 Note: All managers, stop by each diner's table, greet customers with a smile, DON'T be obnoxious and rude. THANK patrons, APOLOGIZE when something goes wrong, always say COME BACK AND SEE US! FYI: Manager for your information, I'm a Yelper. I enjoy leaving honest and detailed feedback on places I visit. My time and money are valuable to me as I curate adventures. This was most definitely not one of those times!

Since it was New Year's eve, there were few patrons or maybe this is the usual scene? Don't know. But there are some comfy couches by the front in which a young couple with a baby was nursing. Another couple was just finishing up dinner and started to head out. We were the only two diners for about 20 minutes before another couple came in for dinner. There were also about two or three people at the bar. So basically a very quiet place. No one at the hostess stand, only a woman at the bar. She eventually sat us and took our order. Things were slow but not so slow that I would complain. I would surmise that most of the staff was off that evening. Food was also slow in coming so there might have been a small crew in the kitchen as well. We ordered the mezze appetizer. Nothing to rave about. It was just a plate with vegetables and hummus. We both got the wagyu burger and fries. The whole meal was quite decent. The meat was cooked to the correct temperature and the fries were crispy. It was quite filling for me. Maybe it was NYE but everything was quiet and nice.
