The Hottest New Restaurants to Try Around Baltimore

"Chef Jasmine Norton planted permanent roots in Hampden, creating the first first full-service dining version of her roving raw bar. Here, a stunning design and upscale menu show off the dressier side of seafood. Think fried oyster deviled eggs and whole grilled branzino with salsa verde. But you can still expect Urban Oyster signatures like catfish tacos and a dozen oysters from the raw bar. The menu also features a full bar and a well-curated wine list with plenty of options for bubbles. The restaurant is only doing dinner for now, with brunch and bar-only offerings coming very soon." - Jess Mayhugh, Tierney Plumb
