    I've really tried to give this place grace, but I can't give it any more of my business. Of my several visits, the only consistently positive experience I've had is Jasmine's service. Even during busy times I've been where she was the only server working, she's always really pleasant and never made me feel rushed. This review is about tonight's experience. After picking up my order (by foot), I get home and see that someone named Maurice called to let me know only half my order was given to me (I believe he's the manager). I asked if he could just credit that portion of my order, and he said I'd have to do it through the app (there's not an option to do so). There was no offer to have the order delivered to me so I just walked back to pick it up. He did apologize for the inconvenience when he handed me the bag, and said he put a $10 card in the bag. When I got home and open up the food (dinner-sized scallops entree), they gave me the smallest scallops I'd ever seen, they were not pan-seared (or under-seared), were rubbery and had NO flavor. This was not worth the price, the inconvenience of walking a half-mile back to the restaurant for, and def not worth the $10 card that I'd have to spend $30 to unlock on an order that automatically includes gratuity. I hope if this happens to a patron in the future, they will consider having the order delivered, and at least throw in a complimentary appetizer or dessert if it's too much of a hassle to credit them. As for the food quality...i just want them to do better. The place is beautiful and I want them to succeed.

    I had high hopes for the Manor, especially because they have happy hour 5-8pm on Wednesday - Saturday. Ambience was very nice and upscale. I loved the vintage look and the music playing was a vibe. We were a large party and they sat us in the back. I would say it was better suited for a party no larger than 10 ppl because we had 13 and 3 people had to squeeze around the bar table next to the table and barely had space. Food was a hit or miss and service was very slow. Some food came out cold, some overcooked, and some orders didn't come out until we were trying to pay the bill. The Brussel sprouts were great. The chicken caesar wrap was good but it needed more caesar dressing. My friend had ordered the chargrilled oysters and they came out dry and overcooked. I ordered fried cauliflower bites and they were supposed to come with a house sauce. They forgot my sauce and I had to wait for them to bring my sauce only for them to bring cocktail sauce. After trying to track down our server with no luck, I find her behind the bar and inform her I got the wrong sauce. The other server/bartender next to her says (all loud and wrong), "well you got shrimp and that's the sauce it comes with!" I politely replied, "No, I actually ordered fried cauliflower bites." She quickly apologized and goes get the sauce and brings it back to the table. The house sauce was just marinara sauce and it did not to help the lukewarm and soggy cauliflower bites. The drinks were also inconsistent. I first tried the watermelon margarita and didn't care for the taste. The watermelon syrup tasted like medicine. I then opted for a classic margarita. The first one was great but the second one was very watered down. Now back to the slow service. I believe the issue was the weren't staffed to handle a large group. The place wasn't really that busy. The server and food runner kept blaming the kitchen staff saying it was a language barrier and that's why the food was slow to come out. We also felt rushed because our server claimed it was another large group after ours. We were trying so hard to respect the next party's reservation time but it was nearly impossible because of the food and service being so delayed. By the time we left, it was 30 mins after the other group was due and they never showed. The only reason I gave 3 stars instead of 2 was because they comped us with a round of tequila shots. I believe this visit was an one and done for me.

    My girlfriend and I decided to check out the brunch here. Our server was Montez who informed us that he was the only server and asked us to bear with him which we really appreciated. Our order was taken once Montez was able to make his way back. We also were told that the bartender called out which left a deficit in their coverage but I loved how everyone shared in making sure they helped in anyway they could. Our food came out in a reasonable time. I got scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese, turkey bacon, and glazed apples. My girlfriend got scrambled egg whites, regular bacon, and pancakes. We also got a bottle of Prosecco for the table. The food was came out hot and prepared to our liking. It was several people celebrating birthdays so the energy was nice and the DJ was definitely on point! There was also an option to purchase hookah if that's your thing. The GM came over and introduced himself and we were checked on often between our server and the young lady that was hosting. We really appreciated the transparency on the staff coverage which makes all the difference. There is parking lot right behind the establishment that requires payment. They also have street parking it just depends on your preference. We definitely plan to return for a drag brunch which they also host:)

    A gorgeous historic lounge with a few floors and outside seating. I was invited to support my friend as she was getting her bartending license and her first test was working at the bar here. The staff was kind providing support to the bartending students and while servicing customers. The live DJ was sweet too. I wish I got to hang around a bit longer, but we definitely agreed to come back again to enjoy this space at its full potential. Also, if you get to come here get the chicken wings.

    The decor is on another level. The drinks are reasonably priced and the service is smiling.

    This place is super chill. Dress nice, come to spend quality time with yourself or friends. The service gives friendly and sort of like southern if that makes sense. Be mindful/patient at times when they are super busy or packed. But the food is good and they have hookah and brunch on the weekend and a lovely happy house menu!

    Came here on my birthday 2/18 and the drag show was phenomenal & place is gorgeous. In the words of Beyoncé, "10 10 10s across the board" for the performers. The reason why I had to give it an overall score of 3 stars is because of how unorganized the seating was. I bought a total of 9 tickets and my entire party had to sit separately. Granted we were all in the same row but it was in pairs and luckily the co-owner was able to add me a table to seat 4. Another young lady after me had 12 tickets so I could only imagine the stress she went through with that. There was a line prior to 11am when they open and there is only street parking and nearby parking lots so must arrive early. Once seated and situated, there is a specific drag brunch menu that is no where available online. I called once a week for about a month of planning my bday to ask what's on the menu because I have tree nut & peanut allergies. Each person who answered could never provide me that info and kept telling me to call back. I forgot to snap a pic of the menu but it consisted of pick 3 items for $25. Choices were chicken & waffle, French Toast, biscuits & gravy OR pancakes for selection #1. Selections 2 and 3 were sides of bacon, sausage, eggs or potatoes. One glass of orange juice or cranberry juice was $4. The shocker though was 1 glass of mimosa was $20 while bottomless was $25. Several of us got bottomless and it was 75% orange juice. The food was actually good for majority of us but I was disappointed in the mimosas and it took forever to get a refill. My girlfriends at another table ordered Pineapple Mimosa and they said it tasted like straight pineapple juice. They do not give you salt and pepper at the table, my mom had to ask for it. The pepper mill was the size of a hookah once brought over and used only by the waitress. During the show, it was a total of 5 performers and it went on til 3pm. I had never been to a drag brunch but I've been to a drag show so this was one of the best shows I've seen. Evon Dior Michelle was an excellent host, fantastic performer and gorgeous! Sapphire stole the whole show, we loved her! The entertainment part of my birthday here was 5 stars, management just has to really get organized when it comes to seating. When you see an order for 9 seats, create a table for party of 9 just like any other restaurant.

    This was my first time at the Manor. I met three of my girlfriends here for a Sunday Brunch event. They started off a little late for the event. They were very busy. They had all the tables full. They were pretty short on the wait staff, so it's understandable. They do offer parking around the back of the manor. The brunch was held on the first floor. They also have a second floor level that was not open to the public at the time. They do have a unisex restroom, which was clean. Another plus. The wait staff and everyone were so nice in accommodating our group. We all loved the show and brunch. I had the Manor Breakfast Special with a Mimosa, which was also delicious. The show was very entertaining. I would love to return. Everyone said they had a really good time. So we will be back.

    Ya'll. The ambiance in here is amazing! You might be familiar with this historic building as it once housed The Elephant. It's gotten a bit of a facelift since then with moody, colorful lighting, a bumping sound system throughout, and a few other updates. But much of the building remains the same including original Tiffany light fixtures, Tiffany glass, and the gorgeous stained glass dome you can see above the spiraling, wooden staircase. If you love historic buildings, you will be in heaven. I haven't had a chance to try anything from the food menu here but I did come by for a quick drink during a girl's night. I got a dirty martini and my friend got a tequila and soda. We were in a bit of a rush, otherwise we would've stayed a bit longer to explore since this place is three stories with several different rooms with different themes. They do a drag brunch on Sundays and karaoke on Wednesdays. After hours, this place is known for their strong drinks and immaculate vibes. I was a big fan of the woman bartending on this particular night - she was authentic and hilarious. I'll definitely be back!

    It's Pride Month and my cousin and I wanted to do something fun to celebrate so we decided to go to the Manor for their drag brunch. Tickets for the event must be purchased in advance and tickets for the entire party must be purchased by one person. Your ticket purchase is considered your reservation so the number of tickets purchased let's the staff know how many people are in your party. Parking was pretty easy. There is a paid lot behind the building which is $7 for the whole day on weekends. We arrived pretty early and were in front of the building right at 11:00. However, we had to wait outside for at least 15 to 20 minutes before the doors opened to let us inside. Once inside, I gave my name and we were directed to a table in the bar area. I was disappointed in this because I got there early hoping that we would get good seats. I saw a couple other empty tables that were in the main dining room and one of those tables remained empty the entire time we were there. If you get seated in the bar area, you won't get the best view of the show. I ended up ordering the bottomless mimosas and the chicken and waffles. My cousin asked if you could change the flavor of your mimosa with each drink and the bartender said yes. However, she brought the mimosas out in carafes. The carafe was full to the brim so my cousin asked the bartender if she could pour her drink for her so that she doesn't spill it. The bartender says, "oh you'll be alright" and walks back over to the bar to continue making drinks for other people. Eventually, she came back over and poured our first drink for us so we could avoid creating a mess. Needless to say, the mimosas were weak! I drank damn near the whole carafe and didn't feel the slightest of a buzz. I'm a lightweight when it comes to alcohol. Usually after two or three mimosas, I'm feeling some type of way. Not here. On the other hand, my food was pretty tasty. I just wish the portions were a little bigger. I saw pictures of other people's food from months ago and it definitely appears they scaled down on the size of the waffle. The drag performers did an excellent job and the show was a lot of fun. I'm really torn with this place. I really enjoyed the experience but wish I had better seating especially since I was there early. Also, the service was not the greatest. After we received our food, the bartender didn't come to check on us at all to see if we needed anything else or to clear our dishes off the table. I give The Manor 2.5 stars but rounded it up to 3.

    I really think that The Manor only deserved two stars, but the food was super tasty and the show was awesome, so I wanted to give them a bit of grace. The possibilities for this venue to be great are there, but management is lacking. Hopefully this review will help them make improvements. My experience here last Sunday was very lackluster. I purchased my ticket online, to celebrated my friends' birthday. A few of my other friends attended the Drag Brunch months before and really enjoyed it, so I was looking forward to a good time. My friends and I arrived around 1030am, as the venue is first come, first serve and with a party of 11, we wanted to ensure we sat together. The venue was set to open at 11am, but it didn't open until at least 15 minutes after. When we entered the venue, I was taken aback by how gorgeous the establishment was. Baltimore truly has some of the best, hidden structures! The venue was fairly clean, but we noticed open napkins and straws under our table. Luckily, the tables were cleaned. Unfortunately, the cups on our table were not so clean., so I ended up sending mine back. Cleanliness is important, but of course it is even more critical during Covid! My party was one of the first to be seated but one of the last to be served. Our waitress said that she was not experienced at serving, so why they would give her a large table of 11 guests is beyond me. We literally had her running rampant trying to fulfill the orders for our table. For brunch, I ordered goat cheese croquettes and the chicken and waffles. I also had the bottomless Rose. The food, once we got it, was very good. The Rose I was served was Andre, then later a bottle of Wycliff. Both of two of the most cheapest champagnes on earth. Not sure how the can justify charging $25 for bottomless drinks only to give you a bottle that's less than 5 bucks. Now, to the Drag Queens!! These ladies put on an awesome show! This was my first and I was thoroughly entertained! The show honestly made up for the horrible customer service we received! Hopefully the venue makes some improvements so that I can support these queens in the future!

    I would like to file a formal complaint regarding my experience at the hotel cocktail bar…read more My friends and I visited the bar with the understanding that it was busy, and we were more than willing to be patient while the staff caught up with service. However, the bartender, Vicki, refused to accommodate us at all, despite our willingness to wait our turn. Rather than acknowledging us or offering an estimated wait time, we were simply turned away. What made the experience particularly disappointing was not the wait itself, but the lack of professionalism and hospitality. We were treated as though our business was not welcome, which is not the level of customer service I would expect from a hotel of this standard. As paying guests, we expected to be treated with courtesy and respect. If the bar was temporarily unable to serve additional customers, a polite explanation or request to wait would have been completely understandable. Instead, the bartender's, Vicki, refusal to accommodate us left us feeling unwelcome and frustrated. While I thoroughly enjoyed my hotel stay, this definitely put an off putting taste in my mouth toward customer service standards. I hope this matter will be reviewed so that future guests receive a more professional and courteous experience. Thank you for taking the time to consider this feedback.

    My partner and I came here for a date night, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish!…read more Our waiter, Cam, was a true professional; friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. He offered excellent suggestions and recommendations, and every dish we ordered was absolutely delectable. I had the lamb appetizer, cooked medium-well, and it literally melted in my mouth. It was perfectly seasoned and incredibly tender. My partner ordered the short rib appetizer and couldn't stop talking about how it melted like butter. Both dishes were phenomenal! My absolute favorite drink was the Smoke & Mirrors. The bartender did not disappoint, they were generous with the pour, and after two of them, I left feeling happy! If you enjoy a great cocktail, this one is a must-try. The atmosphere was just as amazing as the food. I loved the striking black artwork throughout the restaurant, the hidden DJ booth tucked away in its own little nook, and the incredible mix of '90s and 2000s R&B and hip-hop. I was definitely doing some chair dancing throughout the evening! This restaurant delivered on every level: exceptional service, delicious food, amazing drinks, and an unforgettable vibe. I can't wait to come back for brunch. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed!

The decor is amazing and I love the dj booth…read more We have tried this restaurant three times, and the service and food quality just do not match up with the price point. Our first time was during a slow Tuesday. We got good service because we were basically the only people in the venue. We wrapped up our meal early because a fire alarm went off (because of the hotel next door we were told) and it would not turn off and we couldn't hear each other. The second time we had a reservation. We were seated after waiting a few minutes. We sat for 20 minutes with no water or drinks or even being greeted by any wait staff. We left. The third time was restuarant week. The dirty martini was the worst drink I have had in awhile and it was $20. Service was friendly but took forever. We never got water refills. No fun containers for the adult happy meal + we had to request the advertised included glass of wine. The smash burger was good, my husband's pizza tasted like something out of the frozen case at the grocery store. They were out of both desserts, replacement offered.
