Starting with parking, the restaurant does not offer on-site parking, so I had to find nearby parking on my own. I paid $20 and walked about seven minutes to reach the restaurant, which is something to consider when planning your visit.
Upon entering, I was greeted warmly and promptly escorted to my seat. I was seated near the entrance—not directly facing it—but each time the door opened, a rush of cold air came in, making the area feel quite chilly. I should have asked to change the seat but I didn’t. I am only making a statement, nothing against them. To stay comfortable, I requested hot tea, and my waitress was happy to accommodate, which I appreciated.
The ambiance of the restaurant was very pleasant, and the seating was comfortable. Service throughout the evening was very attentive and courteous. However, for the price point, the portion sizes felt small. From the calamari to the fried rice and even the martini, everything was well-prepared and flavorful, but the servings were noticeably modest.
My total bill for one person, including tip, came to approximately $150. Additionally, the restaurant applies a 3% credit/debit card processing fee on top of the bill, as it stated on the menu in fine print. Personally, I feel that for a bill at this price level, additional processing fees should not be passed on to customers, and this did take away slightly from the overall experience.
That said, the quality and taste of the food were excellent, and I genuinely enjoyed the meal. Before dessert, I asked for warm water to cleanse my palate, and the staff kindly provided it without hesitation. The lava cake was delicious and was a great way to end the dinner.
Would I recommend this restaurant? Yes, definitely. While portion sizes and extra fees may be a concern for some, the overall experience—excellent food, attentive service, pleasant ambiance, and a beautiful evening waterfront view of Baltimore City—makes it worth trying, especially for the experience.
