The 38 Best Restaurants in Baltimore | Eater DC

"About as fancy as Baltimore gets, the restaurant inside the luxe Ivy Hotel features innovative interpretations of Maryland cuisine. Executive chef Ülfet Ralph (who’s had time with Chef Daniel Bouloud) has created a menu including dishes like Chesapeake Bay scallops with black walnut miso, and compressed apples and a seasonal risotto with curry spiced sweet potato and pickled beech mushrooms. Exceptional desserts include an banoffee Cale served with caramelized bananas and toffee ice cream; and a citrus cardamom pavlova with cardamom cream and blood orange granita. There’s also an extensive selection of whiskeys and cocktails." - Jess Mayhugh
