We recently are here with friends on a Friday evening. The food is the star! Service warm and exemplary, the ambiance upbeat. We ordered appetizers of house made Ricotta, and crispy Brussels sprouts. Ricotta couldn't be fresher. Brussels sprouts had a soy glaze, both sweet and spicy along with pork belly. There were leftovers there was so much. For entrees it was wild boar ragu, tasty and a good thick sauce on al dente pappardelle. My better half had the crispy rockfish. Oh my. Perfect crunch and softness of fish. It's pricey, but well worth it. We'll be back! read more

What can I say besides I love this place! Every single time I go everything is top tier! Service is great. They are very attentive and even remember my name :) I also love the ambiance. The brick is so chic! It gives modern warehouse glam. For brunch, I recommend the crab omelette! I'm not even an egg person but it's soooo good! I also love to add a single pancake for a little sweet treat. This place is my little hidden gem in Locust Point! Do yourself a favor and check them out. read more

1'31'2026 The 1st of many visits!! This place has been saved in my phone for 2 years!! More recently it was a great recommendation. Hubby and I came here for a double date w friends. It was easy to locate this restaurant. They have onsite free parking lot. I love that!! Nice entry way!! We entered for our reservation, and had to wait at least 30 minutes to be seated. This place was packed solid!! We were assisted by a nice table person whose name I forgot sadly. She was pretty good. A little shy, but made sure we were well taken care of. Collectively we ordered the following. Crispy Brussels Sprouts - Tasty !! The Pork Belly made the dish. Southern Fried Chicken - Very plentiful. Roasted Butternut Crab Soup - WINNER at the table !! Amazing taste!! Cosmopolitan - Perfectly crafted !! It's Always Sunny - Very refreshing and tasty Copper Shark Prime Cuts (7oz Wagyu Bavette) - Whoa!! Fantastically prepared. Blackend Atlantic Salmon - Plentiful. Old Fashioned BBQ Pork Belly - Another great hit at the table !! Lemon Drop - Very very good! Smoked Manhattan - A hit !! Guess what? We returned back on 2'14'2026. Amazing service by Elon!! We walked right in and was taken to our seats immediately. We ordered the following greatness. Crispy Brussels Sprouts - Amazing Roasted Butternut Crab - 10/10 Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb - Plentiful, delish. The CS Burger - Huge and yum! Earl Grey Toddy - Perfecto Wandering Days - Refreshing!! In the Pom of Your Hand - So good, 2 was ordered !! Lol Sinatra Sour - A hit !! EVERYTHING was great!! I swear, I just left 2 days ago and I can't wait to return !! Lol read more

This is one of my go-to dinner spots. One of my favorite things about this place is the fact that it has a parking lot, which is pretty much nonexistent in the city! The service here is pretty good. You can tell they make an effort to give you a good experience. I love the vibe here as well. It's a nice spot for an after-work happy hour, business dinner or a date. I've done all 3! :) The drinks are consistently good. You can tell they use high quality ingredients in their bar. I love their rum punch and mai tai the most. As for food, you can't go wrong with anything. I love their burger and fries. I love anything they sell with short rib and their steaks are always pretty good. Come here if you want a high-quality but still down-to-earth dining experience. read more

Neat spot that can easily be missed. Copper Shark is located across from Don Tigre in Locust Point. I like that there is a dedicated parking lot for the establishment so you don't have to deal with street parking or feel shady parking at the shopping center next to it. I came here for brunch twice and both times were amazing. From the decor and ambience of the place, to the food and service quality, everything was to my liking. Immediately when you walk in you'll see some copper distillery equipment, and a wide selection of whiskey. The restaurant has a modern rustic vibe to it. The mini beignets were yummy, the chocolate espresso sauce that came with it rounded everything out and wasn't too sweet. The brussel sprouts were an absolute favorite. It is full of flavor and accompanied by crispy pork belly. Delicious! The breakfast burrito was a solid choice, especially with the chorizo that came with it. My other half ordered steak and fries and the shoestring fries came out hot and crispy! The mocktails I had were amazing as well. Out of the Bramble had a yummy berry flavor, and the tamarind sour had a slight tartness with an almond undertone to it, making it an interesting NA drink that makes you feel just at home with your alcohol drinking friends. I have not been here for happy hour or dinner, but I'll certainly be back to try it! read more

I've visited Copper Shark twice now for brunch and haven't been disappointed! First, parking is easy with a big adjacent lot and service was excellent both times. It's very cozy inside too, I loved the ambiance. Food was also delicious! The cinnamon roll appetizer is to die for (and that cream cheese dip? Perfect cream cheese flavor.. YUM) and I enjoyed my crab omelet! I got the crab Benedict the first time which wasn't as good in my opinion (crab was a little lacking and tasted a bit dry). They also have a variety of brunch cocktails, though I went with a latte (just okay - next time I'll wait and get my latte from a coffee shop). Definitely a solid choice! read more

Friends have recommended The Copper Shark and I came here for happy hour. The happy hour specials are at the bar, high tops, and outside patio. I ordered the Rum Punch which was light and not too sweet. For food, I got their Curried Cauliflower and Beef Tartare. Both dishes were huge and really good. I loved the amount of pine nuts and sweet raisins included in the cauliflower. The inside is nice casual and the bartender was friendly. I really enjoyed checking this place out and definitely want to try more of their menu! read more

Early dinner with some friends on a Monday. We shared everything that touched the table. Emma* was our server. She said she had been out for a few months, but we couldn't tell. She was very attentive and when she was unsure/forgot she would come back to clarify (of which we appreciated bc most servers wouldn't even bother). We were initially seated near the bathroom (in an almost empty restaurant) , then spoke with a manager and moved up a couple booths. The fried green tomatoes were very firm. So the texture of the entire dish was off. The crispy fried burrata was a star! More bread maybe. The cavatelli dish was very oily but tasted good. Braised duck was delicious as was the braised short rib. The tres leches was giving pound cake , no moisture. Happy Hour until 10p only on MONDAYS!!! read more

The food was just mediocre for the price, and I probably wouldn't rush to return. Our service, and especially our server Christian, was terrific and super attentive. When I saw jumbo lump crabcakes on the menu, I was super excited and highly considered ordering. However, when two people at my table ordered, I opted for the 14-oz. New York strip. The steak was delicious, cooked to the correct temperature, and presented nicely with fingerling potatoes, asparagus, and a cup of CS steak sauce. As for the crabcakes, you should be ashamed of yourselves. This is Maryland, and anytime I see jumbo lump, I'm usually all in. The crab was backfin meat at best, and compared to what I see for crabcakes in other Baltimore-area and Maryland restaurants that are top-rated for crabcakes, yours didn't come close, both in size and lump meat. It just wasn't there. Our friend, whom we brought for his birthday dinner, was also very disappointed. He had been to the restaurant six times and was eager for us to experience it with him. However, the menu completely changed since he was last there, and the soup, fish, and chips he had raved about were no longer on the menu, and he, too, was disappointed. Lastly, the bread. I have no problem paying for a basket of delicious bread, and though the bread was good, it wasn't $5 good. read more

A great find! We made reservations for Mother's Day! They were busy but handled it like the pros they are! We started with the brussel sprouts and whipped ricotta! The sprouts were perfectly cooked and full of flavor! The ricotta was fresh with fried garlic and fresh herbs. Yum! We had the breakfast burger, the waffle, shrimp and grits and the smoked salmon Benedict. I hear it's among the best smoked salmon they have ever had! The place is a fun vibe with an industrial decor. The staff, even though they were busy, had to smile on their face and didn't rush when we had questions! When we are in the area, we can't wait to come back and try the dinner menu! read more

Love love LOVED Copper Shark. A refreshing pleasant surprise. From the bar to the dining room, everything was clean and had a concise vibe. The lighting was perfect. The cocktails were fun, the bartender made a very good dirty martini.

Love restaurants with their own parking lots in Baltimore. Easy! I recently visited this place and had a decent experience, though there were a few things that left me a little mixed. The drinks were on the sweeter side and a bit heavy on the ice, which I didn't mind too much, but I do prefer drinks a little less diluted. Still, they were okay for what they were. For food, we ordered the happy hour steak tartare. I have dietary restrictions, so I asked the waitress if I could swap the bread for lettuce instead. She was super friendly and accommodating, making the change without hesitation, which I appreciated. However, I later discovered she charged me an extra $3 for the lettuce. It wasn't mentioned upfront, and I felt a bit disappointed that this wasn't communicated beforehand. It's not a huge deal, but it left me feeling like transparency could've been better. Here i was excited to boast about, wow she really hooked me up, but ..the unexpected charge really changed the vibe of the experience from feeling like a genuinely friendly service to having a hidden nickel-and-dime feeling. read more

While tucked away in a spot I would typically miss once you go inside it is beautifully decorated and sets a great vibe for an upscale meal. The service was great and quick even with our large group. We were recommended the cinnamon roll donut which isn't pictured because we couldn't help but dig right in once we smelled it! We additionally got the fried burrata which is a MUST I have never had burrata fried and this may be my new favorite form to eat it. Additionally I got the short rib Benedict, the short rib was so delicious and the home fries are one of my new faves! They offer mimosa carafes which are great to split among 3/4 people (or keep it to yourself if you're feeling crazy!), the speciality flavors were so fun to try! As it was our friends birthday they were kind enough to bring a free dessert, the s'mores pot was so rich and a great way to top off brunch. read more

Came in for a business dinner one weeknight... Service, venue, and menu were all fantastic. The food tasted and looked amazing. Drinks and wine list were just great as well. Some items to try that were great - Their bavette, crab cake, focaccia, cole slaw, and most definitely their steak sauce. While I tried their au poivre, I preferred the steak sauce so much more and it tasted great on their potatoes too! Save room for dessert, they have lots to choose from and their espresso martini is a great way to wash down what you select. Definitely would return! read more

I stopped into Copper Shark for their last 10 minutes of happy hour just to get a feel for the place. This was my first time visiting as I was just passing by and wanted to check them out. I sat at a hightop table across from the bar. The bar area was cozy with tvs and an extensive bar list. I was helped immediately and was able to benefit from the happy hour menu. The server was attentive and helpful and explained that after happy hour the menu items are still available just at a different price point. I was interested in trying the Siracha deviled eggs--topped with caviar and green onion. They were a tasty snack with my wine. I will definitely be back! read more

We got here late Saturday morning for a Birthday Brunch. Surprisingly, plenty of parking spots and quiet inside-most likely due to the Marathon. You enter into the Bar area to a dining area that has mixed seating and ample outdoor seating. Rustic with hardwood floors throughout-looks like would be fun to watch the game in the bar area or for date night. We started with their Crispy Burrata-Basil Pesto took it over the top-delicious! French press coffee was bold and enough for 2. Ordered the Crab Omelette-Gruyère was different and worked nicely and Old Bay Hollandaise-wow! Steak and Eggs-Flat Iron steak was cooked perfectly, Short Rib Benedict was also enjoyed. We shared a chocolate chip pancake and the home fries were tasty. The Birthday Boy got a complimentary dessert which was a nice touch. Service was exceptional. Christian took great care of us. Saw Happy Hour specials and their Burger is highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing first time experience! Walking in, I was shocked at how cozy and warm the environment felt- the photos definitely don't do this place justice! The bar is to your right as soon as you walk in, the tables are towards the back. We were greeted and actually taken out to the patio because they had an event going on! The patio area offered plenty of seating and to my surprise they had live music, bourbon tasting and pumpkin painting with fire places in a few spots! I've never experienced such a cozy environment inside and out! There were food samples being offered around as well! Bourbon tasting- this was my first ever tasting and I'm hoping I won't be let down at other places because Ryan was amazing. He was knowledgeable and did a great job walking us through history of each bottle. I've never been able to differentiate bourbon but i definitely did this night- every description he made was incredibly accurate. I was able to buy a bottle as a future gift and they had a truck parked right outside the patio offering engravings... perfect gift, absolutely satisfied with my purchase. Eventually, we were seated for our dinner and got a nice, spacious booth - they have booths and table seats if I'm not mistaken. FOOD- Pan roasted half chicken. I actually ordered this because I looked at photos prior to arrival but something different came out- I'd show photos, maybe some names get mixed up. My food was still fantastic and the presentation was pleasing. I'm looking forward to trying new foods out in the future. I forget who we had as our waitress but she was sweet and also patient while we were making drink decisions. Overall, I would definitely recommend coming here for either a table or drinks at the bar - they offer a variety of bar food options as well. Had a great experience and I'm definitely looking forward to coming back. read more

THE COPPER SHARK: The food, the experience and the ambiance were amazing!!!!! The Copper Shark offers happy hour, outdoor seating with a fire pit, live music from talented musicians and intimate seating for those wanting privacy. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the items on the menu and offered great recommendations for our party. I forget the waitress name, but she was responsible for hosting our dinner event. For starters, we tried the house bread service and the crispy fried burrata, which were both delicious! For drinks, we ordered the Floridan beer and the Trinidad sour (non-alcoholic), both of the drinks were good! I would've opted to order another drink, as they offered more non-alcoholic drinks on the menu. Now, let's talk about the food! We ordered the blackberry salad and omitted a few ingredients to accommodate the vegan dietary restriction. I loved the portion size of the salad, which was full. The succotash was flavorful and tasty and it turned out to be a good pairing item with the blackberry salad. The zaatar grilled lamb duo was delicious and fully cooked (upon request). The pairing sides and condiments that came with the lamb were great compliments. The house fries were a tasty classic, paired with the ketchup provided. Overall, my first time visit to The Copper Shark definitely exceeded my expectations and I would most certainly recommend this establishment. read more

Fantastic Birthday Dinner Experience with Exceptional Service! My wife and I recently visited The Copper Shark to celebrate her birthday, and it was a truly wonderful experience. We had dinner on a Wednesday evening and loved the atmosphere and the excellent service. Our server, Elon, was absolutely fantastic--helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely pleasant, which greatly enhanced our meal. Food, Drinks, and Specials We started with the Crispy Brussels Sprouts appetizer (held the bacon), which were perfectly cooked and delicious (we highly recommend them!), and the Butternut Crab Soup. For entrees, we enjoyed the rich and flavorful Duck Bolognese Entree and the Shrimp Vodka Cavatelli. We finished the meal with the delightful Bread Pudding dessert, which was the perfect celebratory ending. We took advantage of the Wednesday special, which is half off bourbon drinks, but we didn't arrive in time for the Happy Hour (Monday through Friday until 7:00 p.m.). We had two Negronis and two Wandering Days bourbon cocktails. The savings from the specials were a great bonus! In addition to them comping the bread pudding. We had a really good time and look forward to returning soon. We would definitely recommend Copper Shark to anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and value, especially during their Happy Hour and weekly specials. read more

My mother and I were in Baltimore to see Lech Walesa speak on protecting Democracy at the convention center .... and the tavern in our hotel lobby did not look appetizing. We got to The Copper Shark at 8:45PM on a Saturday night and were warmly welcomed. The place has that upscale industrial decor however the ambience was more inviting and less trendy than other places. The leather seating, the prohibition era artwork and the chandeliers ... and the copper burnished lightening was inviting. Also, there were many other diners obviously enjoying themselves. My mother's spicy shrimp cavatelli was not only plated gorgeously, but my gym rat mom who is not excited about ... My braised duck bolognaise was delicious. Rich, yes, so I boxed it up. Delicious? How 'bout I actually and factually ATE IT FOR BREAKFAST THIS MORNING before heading out for th National Aquarium? It was full of a warm spice on rich fatty peppered noodles goodness that paired deliciously with the pinot noir. My mother enjoyed her white (I forgot what she ordered). We were both very happy with the wine list. Our waitress ... why did I not get your name? She took excellent care of us, didn't miss a thing and without the awkward thousand interruptions to ask if we were doing okay. She welcomed us very warmly and asked what we were doing in town and set us at ease for the great meal to follow. I appreciate that she helped me choose my dish. And the suggestion that we enjoy the ice cream sampler. We had a great evening and will return to The Copper Shark. read more

So I stumbled on this place from Google and I was a bit excited because I never been there and also it looked to be pretty high / casual upscale. When I got there there was plenty of parking which is always a plus. The inside was pretty nice. I really liked the wallpaper decor. Customer service was definitely on point, I was greeted with Smiles by two bartenders a host and a server. So needless to say I was super excited just by walking in. The menu was not too extra. It was pretty straight to the point. Being as though I only eat seafood there were not a lot of options for me but I did try the rockfish first. I have to say I was a bit disappointed because upon ordering there was no mention of the temperature that it would be cooked. So when I got my meal it was a bit uncooked on the inside which was highly disappointing. I did bring it to the server's attention and he then made me aware that the chef Cooks it at a particular temperature because if you know Seafood then you know that Rockfish is normally cut pretty thick and it can easily be overcooked if cooked too long or at a really high temperature. So I understood that whole dynamic but it would have been nice to have had that mentioned in the beginning so that I could make a choice. But the server was pretty good about it, it kind of seemed like this was a common thing for it to be sent back. I ended up trying a salmon dish which had couscous and pomegranate seeds. The server did ask me if how I would like that one cooked, and I said that it could be medium because salmon is pretty easy to cook and it's not that bad if it's medium to well done. But when I got my meal it was a little bit on the uncooked side in the middle which was disappointing yet again. I ate around the parts that I did not want. The pomegranate was a different touch that I had never tried with seafood so I did appreciate that. But overall I did not enjoy either meal. Of course I did not make a big deal of it because I chose those options even after the server asked me my choice of temperature with the salmon. The amazing part of the whole experience was the strawberry mocktail that I ordered. I don't remember the name but I do remember that the ingredients were some sort of strawberry flavored liqueur or a strawberry syrup of some sort, mixed with club soda, and ginger beer! Sorry to say but that was the best thing that I particularly ordered at this restaurant. If I had to rate it by number I could only give it a four out of 10 just because the food was not only not that great, but for the price points the servings were not to par in my eyes, and even if the foods were cooked at a better temperature for my preference, neither had much taste or seasoning. But the restaurant over all the atmosphere was pretty chill clean the customer service was perfect so I guess there's always some type of balance! Oh I did forget that I ordered a side of garlic mashed Palms and they were actually perfect! read more

Great food, something for everyone. We had the Wagyu Tartar which was excellent, and the Duck Confit w/ Risotto was also amazing. Probably skip the bread service next time. Service was great, even got a Birthday dessert in the house. Only interesting thing was they seemed very eager to clear plates from the table, not usually a bad thing, but at least 3 times we had to stop them because we were still working on them. For some reason though they wouldn't clear the glassware we had 9 empty glasses piled up toward the front of the table all through dessert but yet grabbed our half eaten dessert reaching over all the obvious empty glasses. We were full so it was fine, but could have taken the Tres Leches home to finish later (it happened so fast, I guess he knew I didn't need it). read more
