Bar Vasquez

I wish I could give it a 5*, but due to covid19 I have to hold the 5* until we go visit when everything is back to normal. Found it online for Valentine’s Day celebration. We definitely will be back! Photographs speak for themselves, but I have to tell you that this restaurant is amazing. We have a lot of food from the menu to taste yet, but the experience we had visiting during covid19, overall, was very satisfying. The food, the service, the style, the plating, the decor, the cleanliness and the environment; everything was very enjoyable. Covid19 restrictions: 1 hour dining :( - (city area only) - this is one of the reasons for the 4* 6 feet distance Masks 😷 Parking information: Paid parking, restricted depending on weekdays and time, but it is free on weekends.

This place never disappoints and it’s one of our favorite spots. We’ve been going there since it was called Pazzó and the rebranding is a great success. We had a slew of small plates but the ones that stood out were the pork belly pintxos and the wood grilled steak pintxo. Was a little disappointed with spicy chicken pintxo because it was not spicy at all and it was a little bland. The saffron potato soup was amazeballs and the morcilla was bursting with flavor but I wish the chorizo had a little bit of a spicy kick that it normally has. Drinks were amazing and the ambiance is always breathtaking. Service is awesome and our server was a delight to speak Spanish with. Great spot for a first date or a nice night with your significant other.

I have to admit, I am not one for Argentinian cuisine. But darn if they don't make a great steak. We went to Bar Vasquez for their prix fixe New Year's Eve celebration. The place was absolutely packed and that did contribute to wait times that exceeded past our scheduled reservation, but with so many diners enjoying themselves and taking their time, that can hardly be blamed on the staff. The service was friendly from front door to our wait staff, and the food was delightful all around. My filet mignon was cooked perfectly and was perfectly delicious. Our vegetarian compatriot also enjoyed her veggie friendly meal.

Wonderful establishment. The decor is stunning and within walking distance of Fells Point and the Inner Harbor. Our server Dave was great. We never had to ask for drink refills, he was constantly refilling our glasses. We started off with various cocktails 🍹🍸and enjoyed a bottle of Cabernet Franc 🍷 we happily were there during restaurant week so I was able to enjoy a 3 course meal for $35 😋👍🏼my husband enjoyed his steak and 2 others the salmon and another the short rib. Quite pleased with this visit and look forward to returning and trying their sister restaurants. 👏🏼😛⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was our fifth visit to BV, first for a holiday/event menu. Overall, still one of our city favorites. Great place for a night out with someone special or friends. Have been a couple times and BV never disappoints. Went for New Year's Eve and had a great evening. They were offering a prix fixe, 3 course menu for $89/person. We had the tuna tartare (wish this was always on the menu), crispy oysters, braised shirt rib (huge portion) and the lamb chops (2 bones). We both had the pear empanada with vanilla bean honey & matcha green ice cream for dessert. Worth the splurge, with the tuna tartare being the standout. Pros: great atmosphere, live music, attentive staff, delicious meal and great wine selection. Cons: 30 minutes late being seated and lamb was underdone (ordered medium, came out rare). Despite running behind on reservations, the staff was attentive and proactive in letting us know as soon as we arrived. We had a 10pm reservation and were planning on being there to ring in the New Year so that was not an issue for us. There was ample seating at the 2nd floor bar so we order cocktails and enjoyed the music while waiting. The lamb came out underdone but my guy was ok with that. If it were mine, I would have had to ask for a few more minutes on the fire. I'm willing to let that slide once. That was the first "doneness" issue we had after multiple dining experiences. I'm sure had we asked, they would have remedied but we didn't ask so can't hold that against them.

Went here for a birthday dinner during the week and it’s so beautifully decorated on the inside. The lighting created a romantic mood. Staff was friendly and our waiter was very attentive and explained the menu and made good suggestions. The food was cooked perfectly, nice sized portions. The lamb chops were seasoned and tender. Since it was my birthday they gave me a complimentary dessert. Will be dining here again in the near future!

The hospitality was superb. The staff and waiters are super nice, helpful, and polite. The service was good. Would have preferred to have a less wait time between courses (5-8 min). I really enjoyed the food. Came with free bread and wine butter. It tasted great and the presentation was very classy. Portion sizes were adequate. The ambiance was magnificent coming with a live band on certain nights at certain times making it a great place if you want to impress a date.

**click on my name to see all 13pictures** Proper attire required, Valet Parking on site (5$ validated) The place is elegant in and on itself, a two story restaurant open barn style feel on the inside with intimate/inviting setting on each table. When we walked in we were escorted to the Bar/Lounge area to wait for our table to be ready (place was full as it was still Restaurant week). Drinks were refreshing and delicious, food- appetizers and entrees- were exquisite and perfectly cooked, desserts were an interesting mix although delicious as well. Service was really good and attentive throughout the time we were there. Its a great place for intimate/romantic dinners. Price wise I would give it 4/5.

Wow! What more can I say? Well, let me try... I visited this restaurant this evening because we had a pharmaceutical dinner there. Fantastic choice Gilead! Everything from parking to entering the establishment was fantastic! The restaurant is in a very very busy and popular area of Harbor East/ Fells Point but I managed to get parking directly in front of the establishment at a meter that ended at 8 p.m. I paid less than 2 bucks to park. Anyway, as soon as I walked in I was greeted by an employee who offered to take me to my party. To be honest, I wasn't ready to be seated. This place is absolutely gorgeous! The ceilings are almost non-existent because they're so high and the decor is beautiful! From upstairs, they have a overlook where you can see everyone downstairs in the dining area as well as the bar. The private rooms are very intimate and well-decorated. They have a few private rooms that can host parties as small as 5 as large as is 20+. Within two minutes of sitting down, I was greeted by Gregory offering beverage of choice. From then on, everything continued to stay consistent with being flawless. After a few rounds of delicious appetizers, I ordered the Sopa de Bife en Caldo (Oxtail Soup), Pollo a la Plancha & Banana Cocunut Mousse. Each and every single thing was delicious! The attention given by all of the staff members especially Gregory was impeccable! They always came around at the best times, and made sure we had everything needed at all times. The climate was really comfortable, clean and Visually beautiful and the location was perfect! I definitely look forward to returning back with friends and family members not only to attend happy hour but also to grab a meal and fellowship with those I love. If you have not been here, make it a priority to come! You will not be disappointed! Great addition to Harbor East/ Fells Point!
