The Hottest New Restaurants to Try Around Baltimore

"An elegant steakhouse slinging martinis and Manhattans emerged late last year in downtown’s historic Alex. Brown & Sons investment bank building. The lunch-and-dinner lineup, anchored by prime cuts from Buckhead Meats, also showcases shrimp cocktail, oysters, beef tartare, and pastas like cacio e pepe. Its Art Deco-era digs, fully restored with its original marble, oversized windows, and opulent Tiffany glass dome, previously housed Alexander Brown Restaurant until 2020. Zander’s partner Brendon Hudson is also behind Baltimore’s Roman bistro Allora." - Jess Mayhugh, Tierney Plumb
