Water for Chocolate Catering LLC

Last night was truly unforgettable. We had the pleasure of dining at Water for Chocolate restaurant, and the entire evening felt like a beautiful culinary experience.From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was warm and elegant, setting the tone for what would become an extraordinary experience. The food was nothing short of spectacular. It genuinely felt as though the chef was cooking exclusively for our party — and in a way, he was. We had the rare opportunity to watch him prepare our dishes right in front of us, engaging with him as he worked his magic in the kitchen. That personal touch added a whole new layer of intimacy and appreciation to the meal. Our server was equally impressive: gracious, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing. He guided us through the menu, which we learned changes nightly or weekly i think keeping the experience fresh and exciting for returning guests. It wasn’t just dinner — it was a celebration of flavor, hospitality, and artistry. I can’t wait to go back.

We tried this place for the first time during Baltimore Restaurant week. We oderednoff the pre fix menu and ala carte. They did not disappoint. All meals were freshly cooked and the server Thomas was super polite and welcoming. We were able to get a table with no reservations in a cozy nook. My duck risotto (not pictured bc ai tore it up) was creamy perfection. All items were delicious and the sweet potato bread pudding was an excellent highlight.

Water for Chocolate is far more than fine dining! On a visit to Baltimore with the Ben Barber Culinary/Restaurant Team, we were looking for a place that could accommodate a reservation for 30. One of my cousins came out the box with Water for Chocolate! This intimate dining establishment showcases the talent, love, and passion of Chef/Owner Sean Guy and staff. Our reservation was for 30 people at 5pm on a Saturday. However, when we arrived we were a group of 50! Chef Guy and crew didn't even blink! With himself at the helm of the kitchen, and staff of 3, he had us all fed with dishes such as Gluten-Free Charred Red Snapper with Cilantro-Lime Rice and Broccolini, Vegetarian Black-Eyed Red Curry, Duck Risotto, and Ribeye Steaks; all within an hour and a half! Baby, let me tell you! Chef did not miss! You could see the discipline and taste the care that was put into every dish! There wasn't a single dish that was not worthy of extensive praise! If you're every in the Baltimore area, or a local. Make it a point to open your heart to all that is Water for Chocolate. Check it Out!!!

The plating was exquisite. The food was high quality. The restaurant was cozy perfect for a lunch or dinner date. This is not a place to bring larger parties to ; this is a place that is very intimate. My only concern was when I went the chef did not want to change the recipe at all but all wanted was no jalapeño which is understandable ! Overall this was a delightful meal although it was a little hard to eat because it was too spicy for my pallet .

Baaabbyyyyyyyy!!!! You might as well stop reading this and head right on over to their website and make that brunch reservation. The whole experience was perfection, from Thomas (our greeter/server) to the mint water, to the DELICIOUS food prepared by Chef Sean Guy. This was def a top notch experience and we'll definitely be back to try other menu items. NOTE: There are plenty of vegan options to choose from!

Prepare to be full. Great experience. Hubby & I had dinner with another couple and we all were completely satisfied. This is the definition of fine dining. I had sangria, spinach dip, crab & shrimp bisque, lobster jambalaya (blue plate special), & pumpkin crème brûlée. All 4 courses were well prepared and flavorful. The staff and Chef were all friendly and personable. Great date night experience. We will be back. Prepare to walk a few blocks for parking. Free parking, clean bathroom. Good background music.

Closer to a 4.5 in terms of overall quality, but because the owner was so diligent and considerate, on top of the tasty dishes being extremely delicious, I am giving it 5 stars and I would recommend anyone visiting Baltimore to give it a shot. The highlights were the WFC Bowl, the Crab Quesadilla, and the French Toast Dippers. The pork belly was cooked to perfection, and the lacinato kale was the most delicious kale I have had anywhere, mainly because it's so difficult to make kale tasty. Having an egg and black beans also made the dish more savory. The French toast dipper was tasty as well with the perfect sauce, making it sweet but not overly sugary. The crab quesadilla was full of crab meat inside, which was a definite plus. I personally wouldn't include rice on the side, but I could see how there could be some that would use the rice to make themselves fuller. The BBQ shrimp & grits had a good amount of jumbo shrimp, and the sauce didn't taste like anything I have ever had in shrimp & grits, and tasted pretty good. The jalapeño cornbread was very tasty! The salmon belly tacos had spoiled salmon so we didn't get to taste the actual taco. However, the owner was considerate enough to take it off of our bill, which we thought was very nice, because we only sought to let our server know to ensure the salmon didn't get to other customers. They were out of the jerk duck confit, which I would have loved to try, but what we had was already good enough to provide me with a pleasant dining experience! Very much recommended!

This place is absolutely a hidden gem! It was highly recommended and I am so glad we had our meal there. I love how it felt like we were inside the home and kitchen of the chef. Our curated meal was not only pleasing to look at, each dish was carefully crafted and tasted amazing. I got the Blue Plate Special which was the best jambalaya I've had outside of South Louisiana! It had a fire grilled lobster tail, scallops, shrimp and andouille sausage. Chef put his entire foot into that dish! This is the perfect spot for an intimate dinner and the smooth playlist doesn't interfere with table conversations. Do yourself a favor and book a table right away. Kudos to Chef, Diante our server!
