We came to check the restaurant out on a Thursday for restaurant week. While some things went good…read more Other things unforunately missed the mark. What went well: Though there was only one waiter who also was serving as the bartender, the service was quite good. She checked on us a few times and kept us informed. What missed the mark: Food: Though there was only a few people in the establishment, it took over 45mins for us to get out appetizers which were shrimp cocktail and spinach artichoke dip. While they tasted good seems like a long time to wait for these ideas. When our 2nd course came out, they were both cold. We both ordered the beef short rib with mash potatoes and carrots. The mash potatoes and carrots were literally cold with the beef short rib being lukewarm. At this point we asked if they could just wrap it up for us to take home as we had been there 1.5hrs at this time. I will say when I got it home and warmed it up it was quite good. Lastly for food they missed the mark as they kept running out due to delivery/pickup options we were told. Seems crazy to me to keep filling takeout orders if you already offered it to those sitting in the restaurant but hey. Not sure we will be back but we may give it another try since the food at least did have a good taste.

So, we arrived at the Speakeasy around 7pm. They were just opening for the evening. We did have to…read morefind the door (like most speakeasys) but once we called, one of the staff (gosh, I don't remember his name) met us on our walk to flag us in the right direction (green flag 1). Next was the entry: nice music, nice ambience, beautifully decorated (green flag 2). The green flags just kept coming. We had such an amazing time eating and talking the with staff, that we took very few photos. The bartender/server/comedian/all around cool human, Symphony, was AMAZING!!! The Owner, Monica, came over and talked to us. We told her that we drove in from DC, just to be there that evening. I had a smoky Bourbon Bloom, the truffle frites and cognac wings-delish! My two sisters had the restaurant week specials that came with a meat, two sides and dessert; they both cleaned their plates. This never happens! There was nothing left on the plates or in the glasses! 50/10!!! The whole situation was just a really cool vibe! We will CERTAINLY return! 3 entrees, 3 drinks, 1 soda around 188$ with 18% gratuity included. Let me just double say, these wings alone are worth a return trip! I have NEVER had wings that tasted like those. But that team, the team is TOP TIER! Sooooo good!

I have been before for brunch which I loved so I knew that we would have a great time. The ambiance was beautiful as normal. I love their decor with the lights, the writing on the walls, and the photography of legends on the wall. The service was impeccable. The hostess was very friendly and polite when he took us to our table. The waitress was nice, and attentive. We went for HH so she shared the HH menu and made some great suggestions to save money. The food was great. I ordered the lamb chops with mac n cheese. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection. They were delicious with great flavor. The Mac n Cheese absolutely melted in my mouth. The seasoning along with the fresh cheese blew me away. For drinks I ordered the Off that Henny. It was so easy to go down and I could see how I can creep on you later. It was perfectly made and well balanced. Overall, it was a great experience as expected. If you are in the area I suggest you check it out. Cheers!

The food was great, portions SMALL. Prices above average our total was over $100 and we don't drink alcohol and just 2 of us. Appetizer, 2 entrees and 1 soda 1 juice. It's a splurge and I wish it didn't cost so much. Waiter could've been more attentive by checking on us - I still tipped 15% a small ding for calling her over twice and no one else was seated. Maybe they had a rush after 8pm ? No live music no customers came while we ate. Hidden expensive gem for a Saturday.

I made a reservation because I expected it to be crowded. We had to wait a few mins for someone to come and seat us. Upon seating, we were notified they were out of several items. There was 1 bartender & 1 waiter for the entire restaurant. The decor and music was really nice. We ordered drinks, they later said they were out of the non-alcoholic sangria, but we got another drink. The drinks were ok, there was an interesting taste to the lemon drop martini that I couldn't put my finger on. We had to flag the waiter for several things (napkins, plates, forks). He was nice but overwhelmed being the only person for all the tables. The Thai chili wings were amazing but there weren't many wings for $13. We both ordered the catfish meal. The catfish was delish, the greens were ok (needed more salt & vinegar but hot sauce helped). The yams were really good. The macaroni and cheese was not good at all. It had no flavor and no cream/roux. It was literally just melted cheese and noodles. The jazz night was just a solo sax player (she played a few great songs) but I was expecting maybe 2 or more musicians. I will not be returning.

That made the environment interesting to say to the least. Plenty of seating for it to be a bar which was refreshing for Baltimore. Service was so so. It took quite a bit to get the bartender's attention but they were doing a lot so I get it. Food was good. The wings had great flavor but a few of my wings were not wings. They were just chicken balls with bones. Seeing those kind of turned me off and I didn't want eat anymore. So essentially, I left 4 wings on the plate because of how they looked. We also ordered crab dip. That was fantastic! The pita bread they used was so good! Warm with a slight crisp to it. Overall it was a bar, so I wasn't expecting much. I will definitely be going back for the other events the have during the week for something to do this winter.

The burger buns were dry and cheap, and the patty was extremely bland. It probably was the worst burger I have ever had. The kitchen forgot to send my burger out with the onion ring that comes on it, so I had to wait to assemble it. There was barely any bacon on it. Fries were bland. The only redeemable thing was the cajun shrimp appetizer, which was actually quite delicious.
