What an amazing space! The energy is vibrant and relaxing at the same time. I can't say enough about the food. From an appetizer to a small plate (the calamari with comeback sauce was the best squid I've ever had) to a main entree and dessert, each was just as exquisite and, I can only say, lovingly prepared! I highly recommend treating yourself to this beautiful place and, please, don't rush the experience. Plan for an full evening to enjoy!

LOVE this place! It's our go-to as we live in walking distance. Favorites: drinks, cheese plate, deviled eggs, THE CHICKEN SANDWICH, honestly everything we've had there has been good! And the decor/ambiance is wonderful for almost any occasion. Anywhere that you're seated is comfortable whether it's a booth or a table. And the service is always great!

Great sandwiches and a decent happy hour. They also have some outdoor seating which is perfect on nice days. When I visited I got a Cubano sandwich and my food was overflowing with meat! This place doesn't skimp on the appetizers or the sandwiches. Would definitely recommend before going to the BIG theater or Charles theater.

Its a pretty decent spot. Decent beer selection if you like IPAs but there are some other styles on the menu as well, including a lot of local beers. We just had a beer and a snack of fried shrimp which was like an upscale version of shrimp tempura with a mustard sauce.

First time here. Very nice atmosphere. Met some writer friends here for a bite to eat and just to catch up on life. Everyone's food looked delicious. I had the chicken flat bread without the banana peppers and it was quite tasty. The waitress raved about the devil eggs so I and another friend order two each. We weren't impressed. They were actually pretty salty. Aside from that everything was pretty good.

The Cocktails are good. While the menu seems to be trendy I find it limited. I usually just end up getting the burger nothing else much appeals to me. Seems mainly focused to the vegetarian type person. It's still a nice place.

One of Baltimore's gems! There's just a handful of places doing both food and cocktails at this level in town. Right in the shadow of Penn Station and next door to the Charles Theater and the Charles Street Bridge, I think this place has one of the most iconic Baltimore settings for a great meal. Or just for a fantastic cocktail and tapas-style dining. Totally recommendable

Cool vibe, nice people. That salad was delicious as were the roasted veggies. The fried calamari didn't taste very fresh at all though. It was rubbery and felt like a frozen bag from the grocery store. Also the bartender forgot about our order even though I told him we were going to the show at the lyric and only had an hour to eat. Get better calamari and listen to your customers!

Food was incredible and it’s right by the Charles theatre. Staff was amazingly friendly and accommodating. We had a 9:30 show to go to and it was 8:45. They rushed our food out so quick and still kept the quality. Amazing place. My mom and I will be coming back once every week now!!! Great place for a date as well.
